It detects new images and updates the manifest in Git
Why this is correct
This is the standard flow: watch registry -> update Git -> operator pulls change.

Why it's wrong here
GitOps tools don't manually restart clusters.

Why it's wrong here
Doing so would break the GitOps principle of Git as the source of truth.
