Pull request overview

Upgrades the Ascender install/migration configuration to use Ascender 25.5.0 and ensures the default execution environment (EE) image tag follows ASCENDER_VERSION instead of hardcoding latest, keeping runtime components aligned with the selected Ascender release.

Changes:

• Bumps documented/default ASCENDER_VERSION values to 25.5.0 across example configs and upgrade docs.
• Updates the Ascender deployment spec template to default image_version to 25.5.0 and to tag the control plane EE/init container with ASCENDER_VERSION.
• Updates bundle creation and role defaults so the Ascender EE image tag tracks ASCENDER_VERSION (rather than latest).

• ee_images default hard-codes ghcr.io/ctrliq/ascender-ee, so when k8s_container_registry is set for offline/internal-registry installs the default EE still points to GHCR and jobs will fail to pull the execution environment. This is inconsistent with the rest of the role/templates which derive image locations from k8s_container_registry.

    image: ghcr.io/ctrliq/ascender-ee:{{ ASCENDER_VERSION }}

• The table says the default EE name is Ascender-EE (Latest Ascender Version), but the installer defaults define the EE name as Ascender-EE ({{ ASCENDER_VERSION }}) (e.g., Ascender-EE (25.5.0)), so readers won’t be able to match what they see in the CR.

| `ee_images` | Custom EEs from source | 1 default `Ascender-EE (Latest Ascender Version)` | Jobs can't find custom execution environments from source. |
