Description

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

Describe the feature you'd like:

It would be nice to be able to define a TiCDC replication task in a CRD and have tidb-operator manage the task.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Kubernetes CRDs and how tidb-operator currently integrates with TiCDC. Define what a replication-task CRD should represent and how the operator would manage it instead of manual cdc CLI commands; completion requires an agreed API and lifecycle behavior.
