Symptom

READY=False, REASON=SourceRefNotYetSupported.

Cause

The snippet sets spec.sourceRef but the operator was built without a Fetcher wired in. This is a mis-deployment in practice — production binary always wires sources.New(). Seeing this in a real cluster means you’re running:

• a test/dev binary
• a custom build where defaultBuilder was modified
• a future code path that hasn’t enabled sourceRef yet

Diagnosis

kubectl logs deploy/jaas | grep -i "fetcher"

If the operator logs no Fetcher initialization, the binary is incomplete.

Remediation

Use a release binary, or convert the snippet to spec.files inline as a temporary workaround.
