- New `pg_shutdown_timeout` input for [`kube_pg_cluster`](https://panfactum.com/docs/edge/reference/infrastructure-modules/submodule/kubernetes/kube_pg_cluster)
- Fixed graceful shutdown for PostgreSQL clusters on spot instances

## Additions

- New [`kube_reflector`](https://panfactum.com/docs/edge/reference/infrastructure-modules/direct/kubernetes/kube_reflector) module for deploying the [Reflector](https://github.com/emberstack/kubernetes-reflector) in order to synchronize ConfigMaps and Secrets across namespaces. Created a [new guide
