Hi, I'm trying out pulumi operator v2. My setup is with go, and I compiled it to a binary so I can ship it with my custom image.
But it doesn't seem to pickup the runtime config from the project config?
My config sets the binary. I can run it if I ssh to the pod and run pulumi preview. But the workspace pod is still complaining about `go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory`

My project runtime config is like this
```runtime:
  name: go
  options:
    binary: ./some-binary```

I was able to get it pass that failure by giving it the go.mod. But why does it require a go.mod?

i believe this is a limitation of the automation api <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/7219>

I have the pulumi CLI available in the image. So the only thing missing was a `go.mod` file.
And I was able to make it happy with an empty go.mod file

Running `pulumi install` (without the go.mod) fails with the same error
```❯ pulumi install           
Installing dependencies...

go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'
error: installing dependencies: `go mod tidy` failed to install dependencies: exit status 1
pulumi install (without go.mod) fails with the same error.```
My guess is, the pulumi k8s controller called an unnecessary install.
It should probably skip that if the project sets the binary...

ah ok then this is probably <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes-operator/issues/374>

i’m surprised we don’t already expose an option to disable the install step, it’s very reasonable IMO. please give that issue a :+1: !
