The control-plane-operator supports an annotation to override images for control plane components. When using this to override cluster-version-operator(CVO), the resulting image is not used for the CVO deployment.

    1.Create a cluster and set hypershift.openshift.io/image-overrides=cluster-version-operator=some-image as an annotation on the HostedCluster
    2.Observe the control-plane-operator rollout in the HCP namespace, with the added --image-overrides flag
    3.Observe the CVO deployment not reflect the specified image in the annotation
    

CVO continues running with the release payload image

CVO should use the image provided in the image-overrides
