- ACTION_REQUIRED

- Promote  job-related metrics to stable to follow IndexedJobs GA, the following metrics had their name updated to match metrics API guidelines:
  - job_sync_total -> job_syncs_total
  - job_finished_total -> jobs_finished_total ([#113010](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113010), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps and Instrumentation]

### API Change

- Added field .status.uncountedTerminatedPods to the Job resource. This field is used by the job controller to keep track of finished pods before adding them to the Job status counters.
  
  Pods created by the job controller get the finalizer batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking
  

- Fixed JobTrackingWithFinalizers when a pod succeeds after the job is considered failed, which led to API conflicts that blocked finishing the job. ([#111646](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111646), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
- Fixed `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` that:
  - was declaring a job finished before counting all the created pods in the status

- Fixed the API comments for the Job `Ready` field in status. ([#121765](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121765), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))
- Fixed the API comments for the `FailIndex` Job pod failure policy action. ([#121764](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121764), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo))

### Bug or Regression

- Fix JobTrackingWithFinalizers when a pod succeeds after the job is considered failed, which led to API conflicts that blocked finishing the job. ([#111665](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111665), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

- Pods owned by a Job now uses the labels `batch.kubernetes.io/job-name` and `batch.kubernetes.io/controller-uid`.
  The legacy labels `job-name` and `controller-uid` are still added for compatibility. ([#114930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114930), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92))

- Added completed job status in Cron Job event. ([#75712](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75712), [@danielqsj](https://github.com/danielqsj))

- Support for Indexed Job: a Job that is considered completed when Pods associated to indexes from 0 to (.spec.completions-1) have succeeded. ([#98812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98812), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and CLI]...
