Description

Deleting an actor fails when `ate-api-server` attempts to clean up snapshots from GCS:

```
rpc error: code = PermissionDenied desc = Caller does not have storage.objects.list access to the Google Cloud Storage bucket. Permission 'storage.objects.list' denied on resource '//storage.googleapis.com/projects/_/buckets/'
```

Because snapshot cleanup fails, the actor remains permanently stuck in `ACTOR_STATE_DELETING`.

#### **Cause**
On GKE, default node service accounts only have `read_only` storage scopes. The `ate-system/ate-api-server` Kubernetes service account is not bound to a Google Service Account (GSA) via Workload Identity, leaving it without permissions to list or delete objects in the snapshots bucket.

#### **Suggestions**
1. **Document Workload Identity setup:** Specify that `ate-api-server` requires `roles/storage.objectAdmin` on the snapshot bucket via Workload Identity (`ate-system/ate-api-server`).
2. **Handle cleanup failures gracefully:** Allow actor deletion to complete (or report a warning) instead of trapping the actor in `ACTOR_STATE_DELETING` forever when bucket cleanup errors occur.
