- A static pod that is rapidly updated was failing to start until the Kubelet was restarted. ([#107900](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107900), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- Fix endpoints status out-of-sync when the pod state changes rapidly ([#125675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125675), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

- Fix endpoints status out-of-sync when the pod state changes rapidly ([#125675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125675), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

- NONE ([#97167](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97167), [@geegeea](https://github.com/geegeea)) [SIG Node]
- NetworkPolicy validation framework optimizations for rapidly verifying CNI's work correctly across several pods and namespaces ([#91592](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91592), [@jayunit100](https://github.com/jayunit100)) [SIG Network, Storage and Testing]

- Fix endpoints status out-of-sync when the pod state changes rapidly ([#125675](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125675), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

* StatefulSet: Fix to fully preserve restart and termination order when StatefulSet is rapidly scaled up and down. ([#45113](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45113), [@kow3ns](https://github.com/kow3ns))

- Fixed a regression that could incorrectly reject pods with OutOfCpu errors if they were rapidly scheduled after other pods were reported as complete in the API. The Kubelet now waits to report the phase of a pod as terminal in the API until all running containers are guaranteed to have stopped and no new containers can be started.  Short-lived...

- Resolved a performance regression in default 1.31+ configurations, related to the `ConsistentListFromCache` feature, where rapid create/update API requests across different namespaces encounter increased latency.
