### 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))
