Run kind e2e test

[cnvergence]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests

  • Enabled CI end-to-end test workflow and added a make target to run e2e tests locally.
  • Improved test stability with more robust readiness waits and consistent resource naming.
  • Reduced flakiness by removing strict ownership assertions.
  • Tests can now select the operator image via environment variables; cluster setup can be conditional.

• Chores

  • Made tooling commands configurable (kind/helm/kubectl) and updated deployment image reference in manifest.

Walkthrough

Enables e2e workflow in GitHub Actions, updates Makefile targets and flags for e2e and Helm/kubectl usage, changes controller image in Kustomize, and refactors tests to adjust image resolution, resource names, readiness waits, and optional cluster setup.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary of Changes
CI workflow .github/workflows/e2e.yaml	Uncomments and activates the e2e job step; adds a single active step “Run e2e tests” that executes make kind-test-e2e; fixes indentation and command alignment.
Make targets / build tooling Makefile	Introduces KIND and HELM variables; routes various targets to use $(KIND)/$(HELM) instead of hardcoded commands; ensures IMG/SETUP_CLUSTER are passed to e2e test targets; adds kind-test-e2e target; updates chart/helm, kind, and docker-related commands.
Kustomize image config/manager/kustomization.yaml	Updates controller image reference: sets newName to ghcr.io/platform-mesh/example-httpbin-operator and newTag to 5c05354-dirty.
Test constants test/common.go	Renames exported constant OperatorImage → DefaultOperatorImage (same value "controller:dev").
Test harness / main test/main_test.go	setupOperator signature updated to accept operatorImage string; TestMain resolves operator image from IMG (fallback to DefaultOperatorImage), conditionally runs cluster setup via SETUP_CLUSTER, and passes resolved image into setup and image load steps.
Test utilities test/test_utils.go	Adjusts deployment name used in readiness waits (from OperatorName + "-controller-manager" to OperatorName); changes service wait/name to httpbin-<Name>.
E2E deployment test test/deployment_test.go	Replaces previous Deployment/Service readiness/ownership checks with explicit Get-and-wait loops; removes OwnerReference assertions; updates resource names to httpbin-test-httpbin-deployment and aligns deletion/wait names accordingly.
