Subject: [PATCH] fix(dev-infra): always re-apply CRDs and RBAC on system
 deploy

ensure_crds skips the generated manifests once the CRDs exist, so an
upgrade never refreshed CRD schemas or ClusterRoles; a controller
needing a new permission deadlocked on informer start while the
rollout reported success. Fixes #697.
