- 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
  

- 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

* 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))

- 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]

#### **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))

- 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))

- 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`
