Description:{}
Summary:{}
The ObservabilityInstaller Custom Resource Definition (CRD) is missing validation rules for metadata.name field length, allowing creation of resources with excessively long names that exceed Kubernetes naming conventions.
Issue Details:{}
When creating an ObservabilityInstaller CR with a very long name (exceeding normal Kubernetes resource name limits), the resource is created successfully instead of being rejected with a validation error.
Test Case:{}
apiVersion: observability.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ObservabilityInstaller metadata: name: test-very-long-name-that-exceeds-normal-kubernetes-resource-name-limits-and-should-be-validated-properly spec: capabilities: tracing: operators: install: true

Expected Behavior:{}
Resource creation should fail with a validation error indicating the name exceeds the maximum allowed length.
Actual Behavior:{}
Resource is created successfully without any validation error.
Root Cause:{}
The CRD schema in bundle/manifests/observability.openshift.io_observabilityinstallers.yaml defines the metadata field as simply type: object (line 50) without any validation constraints on the name field.
Acceptance Criteria:{}
- Need validation rules to the CRD schema for metadata.name field
- Validate that resource names follow Kubernetes DNS subdomain naming conventions
- Ensure names are limited to 253 characters maximum
