Research direction

Start with the reported Cluster reconciliation error and the barman-cloud plugin configuration shown in the issue. Reproduce the failure by applying that configuration and inspect the generated Pod definition, especially initContainers. Done means cluster-3 can be created without Kubernetes rejecting an init container's startupProbe.
