[BUG] Stack overflow on Windows when linting repositories with Kustomize manifests since v0.8.0

[gologames]

System info:

• OS: Windows

Describe the bug
kube-linter crashes with a Go stack overflow on Windows when linting a repository that contains Kustomize manifests.

This reproduces with v0.8.3. v0.7.6 does not crash. Native Kustomize rendering was added in v0.8.0 via #1045.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run kube-linter on Windows against a repository containing Kustomize manifests.
2. Example command:

kube-linter lint . --config .kube-linter.yaml

3. With v0.8.3, the command crashes with stack overflow.

Sample YAML input
The crash was reproduced on a repository containing Kustomize manifests. The failure happens before normal lint results are returned.

Expected behavior
kube-linter should not crash. It should either report normal lint findings or complete with no lint errors.

Screenshots
N/A

Additional context
The stack trace repeatedly shows recursion in kyaml's in-memory filesystem:

runtime: goroutine stack exceeds 1000000000-byte limit
fatal error: stack overflow
