+Method to check if a service is ready (for depends_on).
+
+**Type**:  `string`
+
+When a service uses `depends_on`, Katenary creates an initContainer to wait
+for the dependent service to be ready.
+
+By default, Katenary uses the Kubernetes API to check if the service endpoint
+has ready addresses. This method does not require the service to expose a port
+and does not create a Kubernetes Service automatically.
+
+If you need to create a Kubernetes Service for external access, use the
+`katenary.v3/ports` label instead.
+
+Set this label to `legacy` to use the old netcat method that requires a port
+to be defined for the dependent service.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```yaml
+web:
+  image: nginx
+  depends_on:
+    - database
+  labels:
+    # Use legacy netcat method (requires port)
+    katenary.v3/depends-on: legacy
+
+database:
+  image: mysql
+  labels:
+    # Create a Kubernetes Service for external access
+    katenary.v3/ports:
+      - 3306

+    By default, Katenary uses the Kubernetes API to check if the deployment's
