Adding a New Reconciler Component

Reference implementation: pkg/deploy/dashboard/

Steps

1. Create a new package under pkg/deploy/<component>/
2. Define a reconciler struct implementing Reconcilable from pkg/common/reconciler/:
   • Reconcile(ctx *chetypes.DeployContext) (reconcile.Result, bool, error)
   • Finalize(ctx *chetypes.DeployContext) bool
3. Build k8s resource specs (Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, etc.) in the same package
4. Register the reconciler in controllers/che/checluster_controller.go via reconcilerManager.AddReconciler()
5. Placement in the chain matters — add after dependencies are reconciled
6. Run make test to verify
