The in-process flagd pod does not use the default value of FeatureFlagSource

[kencharos]

Hi, open feature operator is nice tool.
I will report what I have noticed.

version: 0.7.0

I applied following manifest to deploy standalone flagd pod.

---
apiVersion: core.openfeature.dev/v1beta1
kind: FeatureFlagSource
metadata:
  name: sample-sources
  labels:
    app: sample-flags
spec:
  sources:
    - source: test-flag
      provider: kubernetes
---
apiVersion: core.openfeature.dev/v1beta1
kind: Flagd
metadata:
  name: flagd
spec:
  replicas: 1
  serviceType: ClusterIP
  serviceAccountName: default
  featureFlagSource: sample-sources

As a result, flagd pod was generated with no default values used , as shown below.

kubectl describe pod flagd-5f4cfcb898-nwflf

When creating a pod from a Flagd manifest, the default values listed below do not appear to be used.

https://github.com/open-feature/open-feature-operator/blob/main/apis/core/v1beta1/featureflagsource_types.go

In the current version, the default value must be set explicitly.

apiVersion: core.openfeature.dev/v1beta1
kind: Flagd
metadata:
  name: flagd
spec:
  # Fill default values
  port: 8013
  managementPort: 8014
  envVarPrefix: FLAGD
  replicas: 1
  serviceType: ClusterIP
  serviceAccountName: default
  featureFlagSource: sample-sources

Thanks.

This may have been fixed with some other recent changes since 0.7.0, but I'm not sure. It's definitely a bug.
