Research direction
Start by reviewing the GKE security bulletin and the listed RoleBindings in the tekton-operator and tekton-pipelines namespaces for operator release v0.69.1. Determine whether these bindings trigger the warning and whether they are required for Tekton components to function. Done means the GKE dashboard no longer reports the warning without breaking operator, pipeline, chains, dashboard, or triggers access.
