Description of problem:

• After upgrading the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) Operator from version 2.9.x to 2.10.2 / 2.10.3, the forklift-cli-download deployment consistently enters a CrashLoopBackOff state.
• The container is being terminated with exitCode: 137 (OOMKilled) due to insufficient default memory limits (64Mi). As a result, the deployment never reaches the expected replica count, and MTV reports that cluster infrastructure is unhealthy.
• While increasing the memory limits on the forklift-cli-download deployment resolves the issue, the deployment is fully managed by the MTV Operator and any manual changes are reverted. Additionally, changes made to the ForkliftController custom resource are also reverted by the operator, leaving no supported mechanism to persist resource overrides.
• This behavior represents a regression from MTV 2.9.x, where the same environment and workloads function correctly without OOM events.
• Observed one important thing is that in MTV 2.9.x version there is no forklift-cli-download pod is present. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- OpenShift Version: 4.20.x

- MTV Operator Version: 2.10.2 or 2.10.3

How reproducible:

Always / N%

Steps to Reproduce:

3.

Actual results:

• `forklift-cli-download` pod enters `CrashLoopBackOff`.
• Pod is repeatedly terminated with

Reason: OOMKilled 
Exit Code: 137  

• Deployment never reaches expected replicas
• Manual patches to Deployment or ForkliftController are reverted by the operator

Expected results:

• forklift-cli-download pod should start successfully with default resource settings OR
• Operator should provide a supported mechanism (via ForkliftController or configuration) to override resource requests/limits
• MTV infrastructure should reach a healthy state after operator installation or upgrade.
