The image is tagged with the commit SHA, so rebuilding the same commit produces an identical image reference. `kubectl set image` then changes nothing, the Deployment is never touched, `rollout status` succeeds immediately against the OLD pods, and this pipeline reports a successful deploy having deployed nothing. The step now compares the image reference before and after, and forces a rollout restart when it is unchanged so the new content behind that tag is pulled.
