Writing Crossplane Providers with Code Generation
summary
Builds a real Crossplane provider for PlanetScale using the Crossplane Runtime and the provider-template scaffold, writing two CRDs (Database and Password), auto-generating deepcopy and resolver code with the codegen tools, and wiring a PlanetScale Go client for create/observe/delete. Creates connection secrets and a Composition that provisions database + password + Helm release to install WordPress; controller runs locally and successfully provisions resources (with minor demo hiccups). Code is destined for crossplane-contrib.
