Walkthrough

The change narrows the Machine OS Builder ClusterRole and adds target-namespace Role and RoleBinding resources for ConfigMaps and Secrets. syncMachineOSBuilder now applies the new manifests.

Changes

Machine OS Builder RBAC

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Narrow cluster permissions manifests/machineosbuilder/clusterrole.yaml	The ClusterRole now grants explicit, narrower access to retained resources. Unneeded resource permissions and broad verbs were removed.
Wire target-namespace access manifests/machineosbuilder/configmaps-secrets-role-target.yaml, manifests/machineosbuilder/configmaps-secrets-rolebinding-target.yaml, pkg/operator/sync.go	The target-namespace Role adds watch for ConfigMaps and Secrets. A RoleBinding grants the Role to the Machine OS Builder ServiceAccount. syncMachineOSBuilder applies both manifests.
