root-05-m00-kubernetes-mental-model — a new, full gold-standard-pattern
front-door module for ROOT 05: what Kubernetes solves, the desired-state
model, the control-plane/worker split, and Pods/Namespaces/labels
through kubectl. Lesson, demonstration (watching a Pod get replaced
after manual deletion), knowledge check, guided exercise (planning a
Namespace layout), a real Lab (namespaces-basics), and a reflection —
sequenced ahead of the existing bare kubectl-fluency lab bank.
