kops restored its e2e SSH test skip pattern after a rename upstream silently defeated it, and the website got a clearer explanation of what allowPrivilegeEscalation actually does.

kops fixed an e2e test guard that had quietly stopped matching. An upstream change in k/k replaced a runtime SkipUnlessProviderIs call in test/e2e/node/ssh.go with a declarative framework.WithProvider tag, renaming the test from "[sig-node] SSH should SSH to all nodes and run commands" to one carrying a "[Provider:gce,aws,local,azure]" segment [1]. The old skip pattern, `SSH.should.SSH.to.all.nodes.and.run.commands`, no longer matched, so the test began running where it previously was skipped [1]. The fix updates the regex to account for the provider tag [2].

The kubernetes/website desk picked up a documentation change to the container security context. The `allowPrivilegeEscalation` field docs now give an example of what gaining more privileges than its parent process means, note that the field inverts the value of `no_new_privs`, and document its default value [3]. Plus a batch of small docs fixes: a Korean translation of the ingress-nginx statement [4], a duplicate word removed from the Pod lifecycle docs [5], and two broken relative links repaired in the admission policies tutorial [6].

minikube's bot-driven bumps landed: containerd moved from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 in the kicbase/ISO [7][8], hugo moved from v0.165.0 to v0.166.0 for the site [9], and the ISO was republished as v1.39.0-1789200963-23696 to carry the containerd change [10]. On the API side, validation-gen re-enabled nested `+k8s:subfield` validations across code-generator and apimachinery [11][12].
