Several namespace-selector examples and shared references still provide conflicting label guidance.

kubernetes.io/metadata.name is set by Kubernetes on every namespace and is visible in kubectl output and in label pickers. projectcalico.org/name is not, so lead with the Kubernetes label for namespaceSelector. projectcalico.org/name stays documented. It is still valid for namespaces, and it is the only option for serviceAccountSelector, where Kubernetes has no equivalent automatic label. Updated Calico, Calico Enterprise, and Calico Cloud.
