Documented steps
To re-apply a YAML and replace any existing pods from it, run `podman kube play --replace deploy.yml` — it tears down and recreates the pods described in the YAML.
To only tear down (a shortcut to kube down from within play), use `podman kube play --down deploy.yml`.
Use --replace when iterating on a manifest during development so you get a clean recreate each run.

Known gotchas
--down tears down pods/containers from a previous kube play of the same YAML; it does not remove volumes unless separately handled.
--replace is the safest way to re-apply changed manifests without accumulating duplicate pods.
