- Fixed a long-standing issue where `kubelet` rejected Pods with `NodeAffinityFailed` due to a stale informer cache. ([#134445](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134445), [@natasha41575](https://github.com/natasha41575))

  a bug in the transforming informer during the Resync operation, 
  by making the transforming function idempotent. ([#124352](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124352), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Scheduling]
