The CI step registry script (redhat-developer-rhdh-test-instance-commands.sh) needs updates to support operator and orchestrator deployments:

1. Operator installation not handled

The CI script calls source ./deploy.sh operator $version but the operator must be installed first via operator/install-operator.sh. Currently operator deployments will fail in CI because the CatalogSource and operator CSV are never created. The script should call install-operator.sh before deploy.sh when install_type is operator.

Note: deploy.sh already handles this automatically when OPENSHIFT_CI=true, but explicit handling in the CI script would be more robust.

2. No orchestrator support in PR comment format

The current comment format is: /test deploy [helm|operator] [version] [duration]

There is no way to request orchestrator deployment. The format should be extended to support an optional orch flag, e.g.:

• /test deploy helm 1.9 orch 4h
• /test deploy operator 1.9 orch

This should set export WITH_ORCHESTRATOR=1 before calling deploy.sh and pass --with-orchestrator flag.
