Install image-reflector-controller + image-automation-controller as part of the
flux-system install (bootstrap.sh --components-extra) so the image.toolkit CRDs
pre-exist before reconcile — no F-MON1 split needed for the ImageUpdateAutomation CR.
Refine the cluster-wide ImageUpdateAutomation for machine-authored git write-back
(setter strategy, path ./apps) reusing the flux-system GitRepository secretRef, and
document the operator git-write-credential hand-off + SOPS secret template
(gitea-image-automation-credentials). image-automation stays deferred in
platform/kustomization.yaml until that credential is provisioned.
