I’m attempting to upgrade the Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) image tag using the `SmartUpdate` strategy in the `updateStrategy` field, along with some options under `upgradeOptions`, but the upgrade does not proceed as expected. No pod restarts or changes are occurring.

Is there a specific combination of `upgradeStrategy` and `upgradeOptions` required to trigger the upgrade?
