+// TestOperatorControllerMetricsExportedEndpoint verifies that the metrics endpoint for the operator controller
+// is exported correctly and accessible by authorized users through RBAC and a ServiceAccount token.
+// The test performs the following steps:
+// 1. Creates a ClusterRoleBinding to grant necessary permissions for accessing metrics.
+// 2. Generates a ServiceAccount token for authentication.
+// 3. Deploys a curl pod to interact with the metrics endpoint.
+// 4. Waits for the curl pod to become ready.
+// 5. Executes a curl command from the pod to validate the metrics endpoint.
+// 6. Cleans up all resources created during the test, such as the ClusterRoleBinding and curl pod.
