Dear community,

I am trying to deploy Temporal using ArgoCD into Kubernetes cluster but I am encountering an error.  
Currently the issue is when a Frontend pod (and 3 more) is starting.  
I would be very glad for any help to search for an issue!  
Strange that env=Docker, I would expect some Kubernetes,  
also according to the Deployment K8s file there is no docker.yaml at all… so the issue is quite confusing.  
Error:

```auto
Defaulted container "temporal-frontend" out of: temporal-frontend, check-elasticsearch-index (init)
2024/07/01 09:25:14 Loading config; env=docker,zone=,configDir=config
2024/07/01 09:25:14 Loading config files=[config/docker.yaml]
Unable to load configuration: config file corrupted: yaml: line 30: found unknown escape character.

```

Here is a values.yaml
