Deleting the per-server RCON Secret used to leave a running pod authenticating
with the lost password while the operator re-minted a fresh one and probed
with it: the RCON gate failed forever (live: 96s+ of RconNotReachable, headed
for ReadinessTimeout) and nothing re-triggered a pod restart — the server only
came back when the pod was deleted by hand.
Two changes pair up:
- Owns(&corev1.Secret{}) so the deletion is noticed at all (a quiet Running
server emits no other events; the Secret is controller-owned, so the watch
maps it back to the CR).
- The pod template now carries a fingerprint of the current password
(RconSecretAnnotation). Re-creation changes the fingerprint, the
StatefulSet rolls, and the new pod picks the new password up; while the
Secret is untouched the value is stable so no spurious rolls.
Unit tests pin stability across reconciles and the change-on-recreation roll.
