5-9: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | ⚡ Quick win

Use a literal YAML block (|) so list-style guidance keeps line breaks.

With folded style (>), the bullet lines are folded into a single paragraph-like string, which can reduce readability and instruction fidelity for downstream consumers. Switching to | preserves the intended list formatting.

Proposed diff

-      instructions: >
+      instructions: |
         argocd-operator is a dependency for gitops-operator. Not all E2E tests that are in argocd-operator are in gitops-operator, and vice versa. When new tests are added to this repository, while reviewing:
         - check if these tests are specific to openshift
         - if these tests are not specific to openshift, check if these are being tested in argocd-operator too
         - if it is not specific to openshift and not being tested in argocd-operator, remind user that a sibling PR in argocd-operator may be needed.

In @.coderabbit.yaml around lines 5 - 9, The YAML uses folded style for the
instructions key which collapses list line breaks; change the scalar style for
the instructions mapping by replacing the folded indicator (">") with the
literal block indicator ("|") for the instructions field so the bullet list is
preserved verbatim; locate the instructions: entry in the .coderabbit.yaml (the
"instructions" scalar) and update the indicator and ensure existing indentation
is kept so the list lines remain separate.
