unkinben a8d52311cd Ignore defaulted StatefulSet volumeClaimTemplates TypeMeta (#350)
## Why

Kubernetes defaults `apiVersion: v1` and `kind: PersistentVolumeClaim` onto every StatefulSet `volumeClaimTemplates` entry, but neither the raw manifests nor the rendered helm charts in this repo emit those fields. Live StatefulSets therefore carry TypeMeta that git lacks, and ArgoCD reports a diff that removes it.

`volumeClaimTemplates` are immutable on an existing StatefulSet, so ArgoCD can never apply the removal. The affected StatefulSets stay perpetually OutOfSync and the un-appliable diff can contribute to sync failures.

Rendering the overlays confirms this is a chronic render-vs-live mismatch, not a regression: the source manifests/charts have never emitted the TypeMeta. Affected StatefulSets (render lacks TypeMeta, live defaults it in):

- `consul-server` (consul, helm render)
- `nats` (logging, helm render)
- `kanidm` (kanidm, raw manifest)

`vault` and the `woodpecker` StatefulSets already emit TypeMeta from their charts and are unaffected.

## How

- Add a fleet-wide `resource.customizations.ignoreDifferences.apps_StatefulSet` to the `argocd-cm` patch, using `jqPathExpressions` to ignore the defaulted `apiVersion` and `kind` under every `volumeClaimTemplates` entry.

A single global customization is chosen over per-manifest edits because the affected StatefulSets span both raw manifests (kanidm) and helm renders (consul, nats) whose output cannot be edited; it is inert for StatefulSets that already emit TypeMeta (vault, woodpecker) and future-proof for new ones. The live StatefulSets are left untouched — their `volumeClaimTemplates` are immutable, and recreation would orphan PVCs.
