Skaffold deploy falls back to .kube/config:context.namespace instead of .deploy.**.namespace

Expected behavior

skaffold run & skaffold dev commands exit successfully

Actual behavior

Starting deploy...
Release "mshepelev-luigi" has been upgraded. Happy Helming!
NAME: mshepelev-luigi
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon May 30 14:00:07 2022
NAMESPACE: bioinf-tools
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 7
TEST SUITE: None

Waiting for deployments to stabilize...
could not fetch deployments: could not fetch deployments: deployments.apps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:users:test-user2" cannot list resource "deployments" in API group "apps" in the namespace "default"

Information

Skaffold version: v1.38.0
Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Installed via: Standalond binary
Contents of skaffold.yaml:

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta26
kind: Config

profiles:
  - name: luigi-profile-setup
    build:
      tagPolicy:
        sha256: {}
      cluster:
        namespace: bioinf-tools
      artifacts:
      - image: docker-rnd.example.com/ldt/luigi
        context: "kubernetes/luigi"
        kaniko:
          skipTLSVerifyRegistry: ["docker-rnd.example.com"]
          cache: {}
    deploy:
      helm:
        releases:
        - name: "{{.USER}}-luigi"
          namespace: bioinf-tools
          chartPath: kubernetes/luigi/helm
          valuesFiles:
          - "kubernetes/luigi/helm/values.yaml"
          setValueTemplates:
            app.image.repository: docker-rnd.example.com/ldt/luigi
            app.image.tag: "{{.IMAGE_TAG}}"

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Any test Helm chart (no need to build anything)
A separate namespace (bioinf-tools) and a limited cluster account with full permissions to that namespace
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=default
skaffold dev --profile luigi-profile-setup or skaffold run --profile luigi-profile-setup

Additional info

Since I explicitly specify namespace in .deploy.helm.releases[0].namespace I expect skaffold to check whether the release was deployed into said namespace. In fact it does deploy successfully as seen in the logs, but further skaffold check fails.

I know I can also set namespace while running commands as such: skaffold run -n NAMESPACE and it actually exits 0, but I don't really see a point in this since:

it is meant to override values in skaffold config.
skaffold should fallback to current context.namespace only if no namespace value was provided

Switching default namespace in context also changes namespace in log

could not fetch deployments: could not fetch deployments: deployments.apps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:users:test-user2" cannot list resource "deployments" in API group "apps" in the namespace "default"

$ kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=monitoring

could not fetch deployments: could not fetch deployments: deployments.apps is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:users:test-user2" cannot list resource "deployments" in API group "apps" in the namespace "monitoring"

P.S. There are also a few spaces missing in debug messages: Patchingmshepelev-luigiin namespacebioinf-tools

P.S.S. It would also be handy to be able to specify defaultNamespace for a profile or for the whole config
