+### Migration from chart < 1.10.0
+
+In 1.10.0 the `daemonset.resources` block was restructured. The previous shape:
+
+```yaml
+daemonset:
+  resources:
+    limits:    { memory: "2Gi", ephemeral-storage: "10Gi" }
+    requests:  { cpu: "200m", memory: "600Mi", ephemeral-storage: "5Gi" }
+```
+
+is now nested under a profile name:
+
+```yaml
+daemonset:
+  resources:
+    full:    # used when agent.sensorMode == false
+      limits:    { memory: "2Gi", ephemeral-storage: "10Gi" }
+      requests:  { cpu: "200m", memory: "600Mi", ephemeral-storage: "5Gi" }
+    sensor:  # used when agent.sensorMode == true
+      limits:    { cpu: "1000m", memory: "350Mi", ephemeral-storage: "10Gi" }
+      requests:  { cpu: "200m",  memory: "256Mi", ephemeral-storage: "5Gi" }
+```
+
+If you previously overrode `daemonset.resources.limits.*` or `daemonset.resources.requests.*`, you must move those overrides under `daemonset.resources.full.*` (and/or `daemonset.resources.sensor.*`) when upgrading. Overrides left at the old paths will be silently ignored.
