Grant permissions for events.k8s.io Events.

GetEventRecorder uses events.k8s.io/v1, but both deployment roles grant create and patch only for core events. Add the same verbs for events.k8s.io Events. Add the corresponding kubebuilder marker and regenerate the RBAC manifests.

Review comment at @cmd/main.go at line 555:
Update the RBAC markers associated with the manager setup using
mgr.GetEventRecorder so both deployment roles grant create and patch on Events
in the events.k8s.io API group, alongside the existing core Events permissions.
Regenerate the RBAC manifests from those markers.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Pass the fetched ConfigMap to the event recorder.

recordFailure creates a ConfigMap without a UID. The recorder copies that empty UID into the Event's Regarding reference. kubectl describe configmap queries events for the real ConfigMap UID, so these events do not match.

Pass cm for missing-key and parse failures. Lookup failures occur before a ConfigMap is available. This Loader has no owner reference, so retain the current namespace/name fallback for those failures unless the API is extended to accept a real fallback object.

Bound the Event note to 1024 bytes before emitting it.

Parse embeds the full raw ConfigMap value in its error. recordFailure passes that error text as the Event note. An events.k8s.io/v1 Event whose note exceeds 1024 bytes is rejected by the API server. A large invalid configuration can therefore make the Warning Event fail. The failure counter still increments and the error is still logged, so only the Event is lost.

Truncate the note in recordFailure. Add const maxEventNoteBytes = 1024 and import strings if loader.go does not already import it.

Update recordFailure to cap the Event note at 1024 bytes, ensuring truncation
preserves valid UTF-8; keep the returned error unchanged. Define
maxEventNoteBytes and use strings if needed to perform the truncation.
