         Demonstrates the basic expectation pattern using ExpectationManager with triggerReconcilerOnAllEvents = true.
         This pattern allows reconcilers to wait for specific conditions to be met (like a Deployment having 3 ready replicas)
         before proceeding with status updates. The test shows both successful expectation fulfillment and timeout handling.

         Demonstrates the PeriodicCleanerExpectationManager pattern which provides automatic cleanup of stale expectations.
         This pattern works without requiring @ControllerConfiguration(triggerReconcilerOnAllEvents = true) and automatically
