Test infrastructure bumped to kind 1.36.1 overnight as the Kubernetes website team pushes a major documentation synchronization push across Chinese, Japanese, and English locales.

The test-infra team merged the bump to kind 1.36.1 [1], keeping the testing pipeline aligned with the latest stable release. On the documentation side, the website desk is executing a coordinated sync of core security and scheduling concepts across multiple language versions. Chinese translations are now in sync for container runtimes [2], runtime classes and image handling [3], and the security and scheduling documentation [4]. Meanwhile, kubeadm join phase documentation is being consolidated [5], removing redundant generated files and streamlining the reference material. These documentation updates won't affect your clusters, but they matter for teams operating in non-English environments or relying on reference docs during cluster setup. The main kubernetes/kubernetes repo saw only a typo fix in the agnhost README [6], keeping the repository stable.

Action items

→ Verify your test-infra setup is using kind 1.36.1 for new cluster provisioning kubernetes/test-infra [plan]
→ If you maintain translated Kubernetes docs, review the zh-cn sync PRs for patterns to apply to other languages kubernetes/website [monitor]
