A mesh sidecar updates and one workload still uses the old outbound cluster because the bootstrap references the retired SDS secret name

The policy is correct, but one sidecar bootstrap still asks SDS for the older secret name and rebuilds the previous cluster.

Scenario

One workload stays on the old outbound cluster after sidecar update.

What to check first
  • Identify the primary failure signal in the The New Flight Path Was Filed and One Pilot Started the Engine With the Radio Card That Still Listed the Warehouse Tower scenario.
  • Separate visible symptoms from the underlying technical dependency.
  • Describe the safest recovery path and the follow-up prevention work.
Checking checklist
  1. Summarize the current impact and the last known change.
  2. Collect direct evidence from logs, runtime state, and configuration before changing anything.
  3. Separate immediate recovery from permanent prevention work.
Recovery and prevention

Inspect bootstrap SDS secret names before relabeling the mesh.

Questions worth viewing together
Should I translate commands, logs, or product names?

No. Keep commands, logs, file names, APIs, and product names unchanged, then explain the reasoning in the selected UI language.

What should the answer focus on?

State the root cause, the evidence that supports it, and the safest recovery direction.

Why can the scenario remain in the original language?

The source scenario is treated as an incident artifact. Guidance, checklist, hints, and explanations can be localized around it.
