Since a Deployment's selector is immutable, any later change to `spec.dashboards.labels` (adding, removing or changing a label) makes the reconcile fail.\n\nThis is a practical problem for Helm-managed CRs: charts commonly add labels such as `helm.sh/chart: <chart>-<version>`, whose value changes on every chart upgrade.\n\n### How can one reproduce the bug?\n\n1.
