As a cluster operator of NextGen Edge, I want the platform to be more resource-efficient by only running controllers for APIs that are actively in use. I need:

• A core monitoring component to detect the creation of the first route.openshift.io Custom Resource (CR) in the cluster.
• The system to dynamically deploy and activate the route.openshift.io controller components (e.g., its Deployment, Roles, Service Accounts) upon this detection.
• The newly activated controller to successfully reconcile the Route CR, making the specified service accessible via the cluster's ingress.
• A mechanism to verify that the route.openshift.io API and its controller are now active and ready.
• The system to automatically deactivate and scale down the route.openshift.io controller to zero when the last corresponding Route CR is deleted from the cluster.

Acceptance Criteria:

• A recorded demo is created showing the full lifecycle.
• Resource usage metrics (CPU/memory) are captured, demonstrating a lower footprint when the route.openshift.io controller is inactive.
• PRs are filed into the microshift repository to handle the new API composability logic.
