- Fix JobTrackingWithFinalizers that:
  - was declaring a job finished before counting all the created pods in the status
  - was leaving pods with finalizers, blocking pod and job deletions
  

- Kubectl explain should correctly work for all resources ([#118876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118876), [@atiratree](https://github.com/atiratree)) [SIG CLI]
- Only declare Job as finished after removing all Pod finalizers to avoid orphan Pods ([#119160](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119160), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

  - If no QueueingHintFn returns QueueImmediately and more than one plugin returns QueueAfterBackoff, it queues Pod to backoffQ if Pod is backing off, or to activeQ if Pod's backoff has already finished.
  - If all QueueingHintFn return QueueSkip, it puts this pod back to the unschedulable pod pool
  

- Fixed a bug in the Job controller that could result in creating unnecessary Pods for Jobs already marked as finished (either successful or failed). ([#130333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130333), [@kmala](https://github.com/kmala)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Do not expand volume on the node, if controller expansion is finished ([#132010](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132010), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]

- The sidecars' finish time will now be accounted for when calculating the job's finish time. ([#124942](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124942), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Apps]
- This PR added tracing support to the kubelet's read-only endpoint, which currently

#### **Audit**

*   Fixed a bug so that `kube-apiserver` now waits for open connections to finish before exiting. This fix provides graceful shutdown and ensures that the audit backend no longer drops events on shutdown. ([#53695](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53695),[ @hzxuzhonghu](https://github.com/hzxuzhonghu))

- Only declare Job as finished after removing all Pod finalizers to avoid orphan Pods ([#119164](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119164), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

* Improved messages user gets during and after volume resizing is done, providing a clear message to the user explaining what to do when resizing is finished. ([#58415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58415), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

- Added a redundant process to remove tracking finalizers from Pods that belong to Jobs. The process kicks in after the control plane marks a Job as finished. ([#119944](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119944), [@Sharpz7](https://github.com/Sharpz7))
