+=== Bug fixes
+
+* Previously, the `status` field in the `IstioCSR` custom resource (CR) was not set to `Ready` even after the successful deployment of Istio‑CSR. With this fix, the `status` field is correctly set to `Ready`, ensuring consistent and reliable status reporting. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CM-546[CM-546])
