Description

internal/reconcile/permission_reconciler.go, cmd/permission.go, and assertions in test/e2e/regression/service_registration_test.go read the deprecated namespace/name response fields because the replacement key round-trips lossily: a namespace without a slash gains a /default suffix through SplitNamespaceResource, and names containing dots fail to split in PermissionNamespaceAndNameFromKey. Fix the key scheme (or add a faithful field), then migrate these readers.

Part of #1782.

Research direction

Start with internal/reconcile/permission_reconciler.go and cmd/permission.go, then inspect SplitNamespaceResource and PermissionNamespaceAndNameFromKey to reproduce the lossy round-trip cases. Update the response readers and the assertions in test/e2e/regression/service_registration_test.go so namespaces without slashes and names containing dots remain faithful, then run the relevant regression test.
