Watch cache correctness work lands in apiserver

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

The day's real signal is a cluster of cacher and watch-cache correctness changes in apiserver, with the rest of the wire reading as routine infrastructure churn and docs translation.

Merge pull request #142889 from Jefftree/remove-namespace-matcher-index kubernetes/apiserver

by Kubernetes Publisher

The dead metadata.namespace branch is gone from MatcherIndex, removing a code path that could never be exercised. Anyone reading the index matching logic now has one fewer misleading branch to reason about.

Merge pull request #142919 from serathius/watchcache-correctness-prepared-token kubernetes/apiserver

by Kubernetes Publisher

The cacher now uses a prepared key for the continue token, paired with a new test that compares the continue token in TestList. Together with the switch to snapshots in the wait untilFreshAndGet methods, this closes a set of watch cache correctness gaps.

Merge pull request #141164 from LiomSV/size_estimate_to_beta kubernetes/apiserver

by Kubernetes Publisher

apiserver_resource_size_estimate_bytes moves to BETA, so the metric you may already scrape is now part of the supported surface rather than an experimental one.

remove jobset release-0.12 kubernetes/test-infra

by kannon92

test-infra drops the JobSet release-0.12 jobs in favor of release-0.13. The cloud-provider-openstack-push-images job and a CAPZ conformance scenario backed by kine plus postgres for etcd landed alongside it.

Merge pull request #3158 from kubernetes/dependabot/go_modules/github.com/dlclark/regexp2/v2-2.8.4 kubernetes/kube-state-metrics

by kubernetes-prow[bot]

Quiet elsewhere: SIG Cluster Lifecycle leadership changed, kube-state-metrics took dependency bumps to dlclark/regexp2/v2 2.8.4 and prometheus/client_golang 1.25.0, and the Chinese and Korean docs syncs continued.
