what do you mean, “mutate”? are you using the YAML API? you can use the `transformations` option

I create a namespace as a pre-req, later I am deploying a CertManager component, but that `Component` needs a label on  the namespace.  In order to separate concerns, I’d like to keep this code inside the component, not go back to where I declare the namespace and start adding it there

I’m just trying to keep with code encapsulation

<@UGA82D0RX> so, the answer is, you can’t mutate it in this way.

But as I said in another place, I’d actually deploy certmanager in your infra stack. It’s super important, it’s not an app.
