  fix: consolidate logs for instance not found error (#105365, @nilo19) [SIG Cloud Provider]
- Allow CSI drivers to just run offline expansion tests (#102740, @gnufied) [SIG Storage and Testing]
- Bump klog to v2.9.0, fixing log lines that render as byte arrays (#105407, @ehashman) [SIG Architecture, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Storage]
- Fix overriding logs files on reboot. (#105614, @rphillips) [SIG Node]

warning texts were not always using the right format for a command (`add_dir_header` instead of `add-dir-header`). Fixing this included cleaning up flag handling in component-base/logs: that package no longer adds flags to the global flag sets. Commands which want the klog and `--log-flush-frequency` flags must explicitly call `logs.AddFlags`; the new `cli.Run` does that for commands. That helper function also covers flag normalization and printing of usage and errors in a consistent way (print usage text...

### CVE-2024-9042: Command Injection affecting Windows nodes via nodes/*/logs/query API

A security vulnerability has been discovered in Kubernetes windows nodes
that could allow a user with the ability to query a node's '/logs' endpoint
to execute arbitrary commands on the host.

**Affected Versions**:
  - kubelet <= v1.29.12
  - kubelet <= v1.30.8

- Kube-proxy: on dual-stack mode, if it is not able to get the IP Family of an endpoint, logs it with level InfoV(4) instead of Warning, avoiding flooding the logs for endpoints without addresses ([#88934](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88934), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Network]

s/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/) is now enabled behind a featureGate in kubeadm. A user can supply their own audit policy with configuration option as well as a place for the audit logs to live. If no policy is supplied a default policy will be provided. The default policy will log all Metadata level policy logs. It is the example provided in the documentation.
