image registry/repository changes are 'to be applied' but not written

[fire-ant]

When running the relok8s tool against a typical chart from the bitnami repo I see that the changes are 'to be applied' instead of 'written'. Subsequently I see the changes to the image locations are not reflected in the chart and subchart stored in the OCI image.

command:
relok8s chart move $base-$version.tgz --registry $registry --repo-prefix $user --out '*.oci.tgz' --yes

output:

Changes to be applied to argo-cd/values.yaml:
  .image.registry: docker.io
  .image.repository: chr1slavery/argo-cd


Changes to be applied to argo-cd/charts/redis/values.yaml:
  .image.registry: docker.io
  .image.repository: chr1slavery/redis

Am I missing something? Feels like im following the documentation to the letter but not seeing the expected results. Thanks!
