This is an automated cherry-pick of #9296

/assign matlaj

The Deployment set no securityContext, and kube-system is exempt from both SCC and Pod Security admission, so nothing assigned a UID and the cli image ran as root. The workload only reads the ServiceAccount token (mode 0644) and curls an endpoint, so it needs none of those privileges. The openshift.io/required-scc annotation was inert in kube-system, and once a UID is pinned it becomes a hazard: if that exemption ever changed, restricted-v2 (MustRunAsRange) would reject UID 1000 as outside the namespace uid-range and the checker would fail admission. Pin RunAsUser to 1000 at the pod level and add the restricted container security context (no privilege escalation, read-only rootfs, RunAsNonRoot, drop ALL capabilities), matching konnectivity-agent, which solves the same problem in the same namespace. Clear the required-scc annotation by setting the annotation map to nil rather than dropping the assignment, so it is also removed from Deployments created by earlier versions. Extend the unit tests to assert the security context, invert the annotation assertion, and add the stale annotation to the pre-existing Deployment fixture so the upgrade path is exercised.
