Overview
We found an issue with deferred mode and ErrImagePull handling. When the Triggerer emits an error event and the pod enters ErrImagePull, the KubernetesPodOperator continues waiting in await_pod_completion even though the pod will never start (image does not exist). This PR applies the same fast-fail logic used during startup to await_pod_completion, aborting the wait when image pull errors are detected. It also includes ImagePullBackOff so long check intervals don’t cause unnecessary retries and timeouts.
