Description

The per resource status is a lie - it is just the status of the current leader pod.

High level proposal:

  1. Add new CRDs that purely represent status
  2. Each pod creates its own instance of the CR with the pod as an owner ref
  3. Each pod maintains this status resource on a short (~one minute) timer (i.e. trigger by both watch events and by time)
  4. Each pod should only watch its own instance to avoid processing events from other pods

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the existing per-resource status implementation and its Kubernetes CRD definitions, then map how pods watch and update status; done means each pod owns and periodically maintains its own status resource, watches only that instance, and tests and production environments can validate all pod states.
