DeploymentHelper.equalIgnoreHash NPEs when a pod template has no labels (or no metadata at all), both are valid per the k8s API but weren't null-checked. This breaks getAllReplicaSets, which is used for deployment rollout status.

Added null checks before removing the pod-template-hash label, and a fallback for when metadata itself is null. Added a test that repros the old NPE and confirms it's fixed.

Thank you for the PR. Before further review, please remove all whitespace changes, the easiest way to do this is probably to run mvn spotless:apply

Thanks

…no labels

getLabels() and Yaml.dump() can both receive null when a pod template
has no labels/metadata set, which is valid per the k8s API but wasn't
handled here. Added null checks and a regression test.

Fixed - IntelliJ had reformatted some unrelated lines on save. Reset the file and reapplied just the two intended edits. Diff is clean now.
