`make install` fails with kustomize error due to patchesStrategicMerge

[GarupanOjisan]

What

When running make install, I encountered the following error related to kustomize:

Error: invalid Kustomization: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Kustomization.patchesStrategicMerge of type types.PatchStrategicMerge
error: no objects passed to apply
make: *** [install] Error 1

The issue seems to originate from this file:

tortoise/config/crd/kustomization.yaml

Lines 8 to 19 in 0968841

	patchesStrategicMerge:
	# [WEBHOOK] To enable webhook, uncomment all the sections with [WEBHOOK] prefix.
	# patches here are for enabling the conversion webhook for each CRD
	- path: patches/webhook_in_tortoises.yaml
	#- patches/webhook_in_tortoises.yaml
	#+kubebuilder:scaffold:crdkustomizewebhookpatch
	# [CERTMANAGER] To enable cert-manager, uncomment all the sections with [CERTMANAGER] prefix.
	# patches here are for enabling the CA injection for each CRD
	- path: patches/cainjection_in_tortoises.yaml
	#- patches/cainjection_in_tortoises.yaml
	#+kubebuilder:scaffold:crdkustomizecainjectionpatch

Possibly, the path: fields under each entry in patchesStrategicMerge are unnecessary, and also, these entries should likely be commented out by default.

Environment:

MacOS 15.3.1
Kustomize v5.4.3

Steps to Reproduce:

make install
