The promote-to-uat workflow was bypassing the Kustomize images transformer
by hardcoding image tags directly on the Job spec containers. Since Jobs
use immutable templates, Flux cannot update a running Job's pod template
when the image tag changes. Instead, let the UAT overlay's images: newTag
field handle tag injection via the images transformer, which correctly
produces the updated image reference in the rendered manifest before Flux
reconciles it.
This reverts the explicit image tag writes added in 916a207 for migrate
and seed, while keeping the Job name (with short SHA) and deploy-version
annotation updates which are correctly handled separately.

The CTO correctly identified that the delete step was dead code:
- gcloud/kubectl silently fail in the runner (no GKE credentials)
- Architecturally wrong for GitOps (Flux handles reconciliation)
- Unique Job names + ttlSecondsAfterFinished handle lifecycle

The workflow was not updating the seed job image tag when promoting to UAT,
causing Flux to apply a stale image. Now it updates the image like it
does for the migrate job.

The hardcoded image update for seedJob conflicts with Kustomize images transformer
override. Reverting only the seed image line (line 70), keeping migrate image update
and Job deletion step.
Root cause: Kustomize images transformer correctly overrides ghcr.io/groombook/seed
when newTag is set in UAT overlay. Overwriting the container[0].image directly in
the workflow causes the old tag (2026.04.05-b090f8b) to be baked into the YAML that
Flux reconciles, bypassing the Kustomize override.

Previously the Kustomize images transformer was not overriding the hardcoded
image tags in migrate-job.yaml and seed-job.yaml (base/ containers), causing
UAT deployments to use stale image tags. This change adds explicit yq updates
to set the correct image tag on both Job containers during promotion.
