Description

What would you like to be added (User Story)?

machineNaming field from MachineDeploymentSpec should be exposed in MachineDeploymentClass and MachineDeploymentTopology so topology-managed clusters can customize Machine names within MachineDeployments.

Detailed Description

machineNaming on MachineDeploymentSpec allows customizing Machine names, but the topology controller doesn't propagate it. There's no way to set it through ClusterClass or Cluster topology.

This means topology-managed MachineDeployments always produce Machine names like cluster-worker-8fh2k-xn4wp (MachineSet name + random suffix). There's no way to simplify this to e.g. cluster-worker-xn4wp.

Proposal: add machineNaming to MachineDeploymentClass with optional override in MachineDeploymentTopology, same as how naming already works for the MachineDeployment object name.

Anything else you would like to add?

Same gap applies to MachinePoolClass / MachinePoolTopology.
