Puzzle Overview

The platform team rolled out a new AppConfig claim type so product squads can request a namespaced ConfigMap through Crossplane. The XRD is Established, the Composition is registered, provider-kubernetes is Healthy, and the Claim even selects the right Composition — yet the intended ConfigMap never shows up with the expected name and data.

Something in how the Composition patches claim fields onto the composed Object is wrong. Your job: find the bad patch path(s), fix them, and get ConfigMap appconfig-taskflow into place with the expected team value.
