Rolling the calico-webhooks deployment could briefly reject policy writes. The webhook pod joins the Service endpoints as soon as its container starts, before it is actually serving, and the tiered RBAC webhook fails closed, so a policy write that lands in that window gets rejected.
This adds a readiness probe to the webhook container so the pod only takes traffic once it is serving, matching the probe already present in the Calico helm chart.
