Nautobot currently runs entirely on the global cluster, including its Celery workers. Sites that generate heavy background task load have no way to offload that processing closer to where the work originates, and a single global worker pool becomes a bottleneck as sites scale.

This adds a site-scoped ArgoCD Application that deploys only the Celery worker portion of the Nautobot helm chart. The web server, Redis, and PostgreSQL are all disabled because they remain on the global cluster — site workers connect back to those shared services.

This lets operators scale worker capacity per-site independently, run queue-specific workers closer to the hardware they manage, and reduce cross-cluster task latency for site-driven automation.
