Issue safak#9 (CRITICAL): Pods stuck in CreateContainerConfigError
Error: couldn't find key DATABASE_PASSWORD in Secret ecommerce-production/ecommerce-secrets

Root Cause Analysis:
- secrets.yaml uses kebab-case: postgres-password, redis-password, nextauth-secret, stripe-secret-key
- deployment.yaml was looking for UPPER_SNAKE_CASE: DATABASE_PASSWORD, REDIS_PASSWORD, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
- Kubernetes couldn't find the keys = pods never start

Fixed Secret Key References:
❌ DATABASE_PASSWORD → ✅ postgres-password
❌ REDIS_PASSWORD → ✅ redis-password
❌ NEXTAUTH_SECRET → ✅ nextauth-secret
❌ STRIPE_SECRET_KEY → ✅ stripe-secret-key
❌ NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY → ✅ stripe-publishable-key

Impact: This was blocking ALL pods from starting for 29+ minutes!
Solution: Match the exact key names from secrets.yaml (kebab-case)
