[bug\_fix] CreateContainerConfigError

Run \`kubectl describe pod -n \` and read Events for messages like \`secret "foo" not found\` or \`configmap "bar" not found\`. Create the missing Secret or ConfigMap, correct the referenced name/namespace, or ensure the key used in \`subPath\` / \`envFrom\` exists. Re-apply the workload once the referenced object is present.

Journey Context:
A Deployment was applied with \`envFrom: - configMapRef: name: app-config\`, but the pods hung at \`CreateContainerConfigError\`. \`kubectl describe pod\` reported \`configmap "app-config" not found\`. The manifest had a typo — the ConfigMap was actually named \`app-config-v2\`. Renaming the reference to the real ConfigMap allowed kubelet to construct the container config and start the Pod. The same pattern appears when a Secret referenced for a volume mount or \`subPath\` key is missing.
