- When feature gate `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` is enabled:
  - Limit the number of Pods tracked in a single Job sync to avoid starvation of small Jobs.
  - The metric `job_pod_finished_total` counts the number of finished Pods tracked by the Job controller. ([#105197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105197), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

- 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]
