Reflector skipping some namespaces

[Rahulsharma0810]

I have the below config for the secret.

  secretTemplate:
    annotations:
      reflector.v1.k8s.emberstack.com/auto-reflects: cert-manager/demo-secret
      reflector.v1.k8s.emberstack.com/reflection-allowed: "true"
      reflector.v1.k8s.emberstack.com/reflection-allowed-namespaces: "" # Control destination namespaces
      reflector.v1.k8s.emberstack.com/reflection-auto-enabled: "true" # Auto create reflection for matching namespaces
      reflector.v1.k8s.emberstack.com/reflection-auto-namespaces: "" # Control auto-reflection namespaces
      reflector.v1.k8s.emberstack.com/reflected-version: ""

My clusters all namespaces.

as you can see argocd and other few namespaces don't show up in the logs as well there is no secret too.

@Rahulsharma0810 can you delete the reflector pod so it restarts and send me the logs from startup?

[Rahulsharma0810]

on top of it when I try to create a secret manually

kubectl get secret demo-secret --namespace=cert-manager -o yaml | sed 's/namespace: .\*/namespace: kubernetes-dashboard/' | kubectl apply -f -

in the logs

I'm also receiving the same behavior, after a while reflector 6.1.47 does not reflect the secrets I had set to replicate to all namespaces.
The below is what I get after I restart the reflector pod, which does get the secrets replicated to the newly added namespaces:
