StepActions - Cluster resolver Tasks using StepActions look for the StepAction in the namespace of the calling Pipeline and not the Task

[AverageMarcus]

Expected Behavior

I have a Pipeline in namespace-a which includes a Task using the Cluster resolver to make use of a Task in namespace-b. The Task in namespace-b includes a StepAction using a name reference. The StepAction is also in namespace-b. I expect the Pipeline to successfully load the Task from the other namespace and correctly look up the associated StepAction.

Actual Behavior

The Pipeline Task fails with TaskRunResolutionFailed as it attempts to load the StepAction from the same namespace as the Pipeline (namespace-a) rather than the namespace of the referenced Task (namespace-b)

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a StepAction and a Task that references it using a ref name in the same namespace as each other.
2. Create a Pipeline in a different namespace and use the cluster resolver to include the Task from the other namespace.
3. Run the Pipeline and observe the failure
