Kind deployments used imagePullPolicy=None (defaults to IfNotPresent),
which means the kind node caches images by tag and never re-pulls from
the local registry. After a container rebuild + registry push, the pod
keeps using the stale cached image.
Set Always for all deployment types so k8s re-pulls on every pod
restart. With a local registry this adds negligible overhead.
