FluxCD image not updated on helm release

Question

I started with FluxCD, and I'm looking to update my helm releases with each new image that was pushed into docker registry. So far I have my policies and imageautomation in place - which are working fine, I can see that git repo is updated with the latest docker tag. Now the problem is although helmrelease kustomization file is updated in git with new tags, it doesn't applies changes to the helmrelease in cluster. I would appreciate any hint on what's miss configured. Bellow you can see my relevant for the context configuration:

# kustomization.yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: tor
resources:
  - ./../application/stat
  - ./fluxkustomize.yaml

#fluxkustomize.yaml
---
apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
  name: stat
  namespace: tor
spec:
  interval: 1m0s
  prune: false
  sourceRef:
    kind: GitRepository
    name: gitops
    namespace: tor
  images:
    - name: ecr/tor
      newName: ecr/tor # {"$imagepolicy": "tor:stat:name"}
      # based on policy, latest tag was updated in git accordingly
      newTag: 1.3.4 # {"$imagepolicy": "tor:stat:tag"}

# ../application/stat/helmrelease.yaml
---
apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2beta1
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: stat
spec:
  values:
    api:
      image:
        repository: ecr/tor
    image:
      tag: 1.3.0
  interval: 1m0s
  releaseName: stat
  chart:
    spec:
      chart: ./helm/stat
      interval: 1m0s
      valuesFile: ./helm/stat/values.yaml
      sourceRef:
        kind: GitRepository
        name: stat
        namespace: tor

Answer 1

So the problem here was that the path that I was editing in helmrelease was changed and I was aiming to alter non-existing image values.
