A Kustomize patch is meant to update a Deployment named inspections-api, but the patch target lists the wrong kind or name and the change never appears in the build. What is the most likely cause?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the sticky note has the wrong locker number, it never sticks to the right form. Patch targets must match kind and name (and other selectors)—a mismatch means your edit never lands.
Full Explanation
Kustomize applies patches only to resources that match the patch’s target criteria. A wrong kind, name, or label selector leaves the intended Deployment unchanged, which looks like a “silent” miss. Namespace count, commonLabels, and file extensions are not the usual explanation for a missed patch.
