Return an error when the core-controller container is missing.

If the asset omits or renames containerName, this loop silently skips applyLeaderElection. The Deployment can then run multiple core-controller replicas without leader election.

Track whether the loop finds the container. Return an error when it does not find the container.

Proposed fix

In `@pkg/controller/external_secrets/deployments.go` around lines 963 - 968,
Update the container lookup in the deployment reconciliation flow to track
whether the container matching containerName was found; invoke
applyLeaderElection for the match, and return an error when no matching
container exists instead of silently continuing.
