Root cause: backend deployment.yaml referenced secretKeyRef key: DB_USER and
key: DB_PASSWORD, but the live secret only has MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD.
kubectl apply reported secret/mysql-secret as "unchanged" (last-applied matched
desired) so the drift was never caught — new pods got CreateContainerConfigError.
Changes:
- backend/deployment.yaml: DB_USER → key: MYSQL_USER, DB_PASSWORD → key: MYSQL_PASSWORD
- mysql/deployment.yaml: add MYSQL_USER/MYSQL_PASSWORD env vars so the app user
(scrumapp) is created if MySQL ever reinitializes from a fresh PVC
- mysql/secret.yaml: remove stale commented-out block with old key names
