Subject: [PATCH] ops(prop): pin HPA to 1 replica
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Set minReplicas == maxReplicas == 1 on the `prop` HPA so the cluster
runs exactly one app pod. HPA still owns the replica count (Flux
ignores spec.replicas on the Deployment), so this is the right knob —
no need to touch deployment.yaml. Restore autoscaling by raising both
bounds together.
