The puppet MASTER is the singleton CA/master: a second master, even
transiently during a rolling update, races on CA/cert signing and shared
state. It was previously driven by an HPA (minReplicas 2, maxReplicas 5)
with a RollingUpdate strategy, so 2-5 masters could coexist and a rollout
would briefly run old+new masters against the same shared CA PVC.
- Set puppetserver-master replicas to 1 and strategy to Recreate so the
old master always terminates before a new one starts.
- Remove the puppetserver-masters-autoscaler HPA (and its kustomization
entry) that forced 2-5 master replicas.
- Refresh the master VPA note to reflect the pinned-singleton, no-HPA state.
