Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	PR does not contain Ginkgo tests. Main project uses standard Go testing package, not Ginkgo framework. Check is not applicable.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	PR modifies only a Kubernetes Deployment YAML manifest (imagePullPolicy change), not Ginkgo test code. The check for test quality is not applicable.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR only modifies YAML deployment configs; no Ginkgo e2e tests are added, so MicroShift test compatibility check does not apply.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR only modifies a Kubernetes Deployment YAML file (imagePullPolicy change), not adding any Ginkgo e2e tests. Check is not applicable.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The change modifies only imagePullPolicy, a container image-pulling behavior unrelated to scheduling. No topology-aware scheduling constraints are introduced or modified.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PR modifies only a Kubernetes YAML deployment file (imagePullPolicy change); no Go source code changes that could violate OTE stdout contract.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	No Ginkgo e2e tests are added in this PR; only a Kubernetes Deployment YAML configuration is modified. Check is not applicable.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	PR only modifies imagePullPolicy in Kubernetes deployment YAML; no cryptographic code or weak crypto usage detected.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	Manifest contains no privileged: true, hostPID/Network/IPC, SYS_ADMIN capability, or allowPrivilegeEscalation: true; runs as non-root with dropped capabilities.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The PR only changes imagePullPolicy in a Kubernetes YAML deployment file with no logging statements that expose sensitive data like passwords, tokens, API keys, or PII.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately reflects the main change: updating imagePullPolicy from Always to IfNotPresent in the servicemesh-operator3 Deployment.
