Upgrading from 0.8.3 to 0.9.0 - Failed to update ephemeral runner set with removed finalizer

Hi,

I tried upgrading from 0.8.3 to 0.9.0 using FluxCD and facing below error, I tried to deploy the config in a new namespace with new runner group as a workaround. But still its referring to the old namespace and old runner scaleset name.

I had to delete the old namespace by setting finalizer as null in the namespace spec as the finalizer was not allowing to delete it. But I am clueless why the controller deployed in new namespace still referring the old scaleset name and namespaces ?

I was running into this issue as well. I had to manually edit the old EphemeralRunnerSet's and remove the finalizer, as well as add spec.patchID: 1. It looks like this field was added in the 0.9.0 release.
