[bug\_fix] CreateContainerConfigError: missing Secret or ConfigMap key

Run \`kubectl describe pod\` to identify the missing Secret/ConfigMap/key. Create the missing object or correct the envFrom/valueFrom reference, then delete the pod so the controller recreates it.

Journey Context:
A pod hangs in CreateContainerConfigError. \`kubectl describe pod\` shows 'Error: secret "api-token" not found'. The deployment references a secret that was never created in the namespace. Creating the secret from the existing credential store and deleting the pod resolves it. In another case the error is 'key "DB\_URL" not found in ConfigMap'; updating the ConfigMap data fixes it.
