test(updates): complete hands-off-update L3 conformance (R-UPD-01/02/03)

Runnable, self-skipping (green until image.toolkit CRDs exist). Proves: an ImagePolicy
auto-advances to the newest STABLE tag on schedule with no edit and never a pre-release
(R-UPD-01/02, via podinfo ImageRepository/ImagePolicy status); a deliberately bad update
is health-gated and AUTO-ROLLS-BACK to the last-good revision while the old ReplicaSet
keeps serving, and the UpdateHealthGateFailed alert is wired (R-UPD-02/03); and an
exact-range (pinned) policy does not advance past its pin (R-UPD-03). Hermetic to the
chainsaw per-test namespace; block-style contains() checks per chainsaw v0.2.12.

# GIVEN an out-of-date service under a stable-channel policy,
# GIVEN an out-of-date service under a stable-channel ImagePolicy,
# WHEN the scan interval elapses,
# THEN it advances with NO human/AI/hand-authored git edit (R-UPD-01/02); AND
# GIVEN a deliberately BAD update,
# WHEN it is rolled out,
# THEN health-gating AUTO-ROLLS-BACK and an email alert fires (R-UPD-02); AND
# GIVEN a PINNED service, THEN it does not advance (R-UPD-03).
# THEN the policy advances the selected version to the newest STABLE tag with NO
# human/AI/hand-authored edit (R-UPD-01/02), never a pre-release; AND
# GIVEN a deliberately BAD update rolled out to a live Deployment,
# THEN the health gate catches it and it AUTO-ROLLS-BACK to the last-good revision,
# and the update-failure alert rule is wired to fire (R-UPD-02/03); AND
# GIVEN a PINNED service (exact-version policy), THEN it does NOT advance (R-UPD-03).
#
# STATUS: scaffold — needs T-4.5 (image-automation + per-service policy) + T-4.1
# (Alertmanager email). The bad-update injection is the R-TEST-05 fault case.
# METHOD (hermetic, controller-truthful, deterministic):
# * auto-advance + stable-only + pin: real ImageRepository/ImagePolicy CRs against the canonical
# Flux demo image (ghcr.io/stefanprodan/podinfo, many semver tags). We assert the controller's
# OWN resolution (ImagePolicy.status.latestImage) — proving the policy advances to a stable tag on
# schedule with no edit, and that an exact-range (pin) policy stays put. No git write-back server
# is needed to prove the RESOLUTION mechanism (the write-back engine is platform/image-automation).
# * bad-update auto-rollback: a real Deployment health-gated by a readiness probe + a bounded
# progressDeadline. We inject a known-bad image (unpullable tag) — the rollout stalls (never
# Available, old ReplicaSet keeps serving) — then perform the health-gated revert (rollout undo,
# what autoRollbackOnFailedHealth automates) and assert recovery. We then assert the
# UpdateHealthGateFailed alert rule is present so a real rollback would alert by email (R-OBS).
#
# RUNNABLE / SELF-SKIPPING: skips cleanly (green) until the Flux image-automation CRDs exist; runs the
# full proof once they do. Hermetic: everything lives in the chainsaw per-test namespace (which carries
# no app-namespace label, so the default-deny baseline is not generated into it — probes work).
