A firewall quirk that kills BGP just cost kOps 15 CI jobs on GCE.

kOps dropped the entire GCE Calico grid for kOps 1.34 [1] after discovering that node-to-master firewall rules block tcp/179, breaking worker-to-control-plane BGP. The maintainers note that "One direction is normally enough for BGP" [1], but RFC 4271 connection collision resolution makes it fatal. Meanwhile, the website desk churned out Chinese translations for volume attributes, ephemeral storage, and workload-aware preemption [2][3][4], keeping docs current for the v1.37 cycle. The release repo quietly merged dependency bumps [5][6], and org added fresh maintainers for the v1.37 website release [7]. Test-infra also staged a Kueue plugin and switched to a medium-effort AI model [8][9]. All in, 16 commits and 11 PRs, with the kOps change the only one that needs your attention.
