Aleksei Sviridkin 79ceaf1dc2 fix(harbor): retry the nested system install instead of uninstalling it (#3621)
<!-- Thank you for making a contribution! Here are some tips for you:
- Use Conventional Commits for the PR title: `type(scope): description`
- Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore
- Scopes are not an exhaustive list — pick the most specific scope for
the change and extend the list when a genuinely new area appears.
Examples:
- System components: dashboard, platform, operator, cilium, kube-ovn,
linstor, fluxcd, cluster-api
- Managed apps: postgres, mariadb, redis, kafka, clickhouse,
virtual-machine, kubernetes
- Development and maintenance: api, hack, tests, ci, docs, maintenance
- Breaking changes: append `!` after type/scope (`feat(api)!: ...`) or
add a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer
- If it's a work in progress, consider creating this PR as a draft.
- Don't hesistate to ask for opinion and review in the community chats,
even if it's still a draft.
- Add the label `backport` if it's a bugfix that needs to be backported
to a previous version.

## What this PR does

Harbor's app chart renders a nested HelmRelease that owns the whole
workload: the Deployments, the inline RedisFailover and its volume. It
had no install strategy, so it got Flux's default, and install
remediation is an uninstall in every case Flux offers. A first install
that misses its budget gets torn down, and the next one provisions the
redis volume and runs the master election again from scratch.

That happens on a loaded runner. harbor-core waits on redis, redis waits
on its volume and the master election, and the nginx Deployment hits the
default `progressDeadlineSeconds` of 600s. Flux reads that as a stalled
resource and fails the install early. The e2e wait budget is 10m, the
same as the deadline, so after a teardown the second attempt has less
time than a first install needs.

`RetryOnFailure` keeps the manifests applied and retries as an upgrade.
Nothing is deleted, so the volume, the elected master and harbor-core's
startup all survive, and the retry costs 30s instead of a full install.
A Deployment clears `ProgressDeadlineExceeded` by itself once its pods
go ready, so the retry lands as soon as the stack converges.

This drops the teardown, not the deadline. The suite applies the release
in one step and waits for it in later ones, so part of the budget is
still left when the fail-early hits. That leftover is useless to a fresh
install and usable to a retry that resumes. Whether the deadline or the
budget also needs moving is a separate question, and an early deadline
only becomes safe once a failed install stops being torn down. In
production the win holds without any of that: a slow first install no
longer deletes the Redis volume and the database.

Both actions carry the strategy. The controller runs the retry of a
failed install as an upgrade, so with install alone the retry's own
failure falls through to upgrade remediation. The remediation blocks
stay: an absent release consults install, an out-of-sync one consults
upgrade, both by retry count rather than by strategy.

It goes on the nested release, not the parent. The parent is built from
the Application by the apiserver, which already stamps this strategy on
both actions. The nested one owns the workload and the volume a
remediation deletes.

Same shape as the tenant CNI and CSI releases in #3552 and #3581, and
the unit test follows theirs. Relates to #3445.

### Screenshots

<!-- REQUIRED for UI changes: attach screenshots or screen recordings
demonstrating
the visual impact of your changes. PRs with UI changes without
screenshots will not be merged. -->

### Downstream repositories

<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.

Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.

IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:

1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.
