Research direction

Start with the install and upgrade entry points that handle operator_namespace, and review the behavior discussed in pull request 379. Trace how existing operators are detected across namespaces, then verify that installing or upgrading with a different namespace is prevented while same-namespace upgrades remain supported.

Description

type/bug

From https://github.com/stackabletech/stackable-cockpit/pull/379

We might want to handle the case of:

  • install release 24.11 with operator_namespace = "ns1"
  • install/upgrade release 25.3 with operator_namespace = "ns2"

Because:

  • The CRDs are cluster scopes, so they would be overwritten, but...
  • The operators in the old NS will remain.

I'm fine with us only supporting upgrading in the same namespace (moving namespaces should probably be an uninstall and install). So I guess we'd just need to search for operators in any namespace (labels might be the safest way for detecting).
