### When Refactoring

1. Preserve behavior
2. Keep tests green
3. Small incremental steps
4. Don't mix with new features

### Code Quality Checklist

- [ ] Java conventions followed
- [ ] JavaDoc for public APIs
- [ ] Tests pass (`mvn test`)
- [ ] No compiler warnings
- [ ] Proper exception handling
- [ ] Resource cleanup (AutoCloseable)
- [ ] Thread-safe if needed

- The scheduler retries gated Pods more appropriately, giving them a backoff penalty too. ([#126029](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126029), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Unallowed label values will show up as "unexpected" in scheduler metrics. ([#126762](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126762), [@richabanker](https://github.com/richabanker)) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]
