### Bug or Regression

- Kube-Proxy now correctly filters out unready endpoints for Services with Topology Aware Hints enabled. (#106507, @robscott) [SIG Network]
- Kubelet: the printing of flags at the start of kubelet now uses the final logging configuration (#106520, @pohly) [SIG Node]
- Topology Aware Hints now ignores unready endpoints when assigning hints. (#106510, @robscott) [SIG Apps and Network]

## Dependencies

- Make sure auto-mounted subpath mount source is already mounted ([#112498](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112498), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))...

- The pod phase lifecycle guarantees that terminal Pods, those whose states are `Unready` or `Succeeded`, can not regress and will have all container stopped. Hence, terminal Pods will never be reachable and should not publish their IP addresses on the `Endpoints` or `EndpointSlices`, independently of the Service `TolerateUnready` option....

- The e2e suite can be instructed not to wait for pods in kube-system to be ready or for all nodes to be ready by passing `--allowed-not-ready-nodes=-1` when invoking the e2e.test program. This allows callers to run subsets of the e2e suite in scenarios other than perfectly healthy clusters. ([#98781](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98781), [@...
