Subject: [PATCH] debug: test same-namespace ImagePolicy for Setters resolution

Every official Flux example uses the same namespace for ImagePolicy and
ImageUpdateAutomation; our setup splits them (ImagePolicy in hello-app,
ImageUpdateAutomation in flux-system). Testing whether that cross-namespace
split is the actual blocker, despite being documented as supported.
