- Added RBAC reconcile commands with `kubectl auth reconcile -f FILE`. When
  passed a file which contains RBAC roles, rolebindings, clusterroles, or
  clusterrolebindings, this command computes covers and adds the missing rules.

- Fix a bug on the endpoints controller that does not reconcile the Endpoint object after this is truncated (it gets more than 1000 endpoints addresses) ([#127417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127417), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

- Fixed the bug where if Endpointslices mirrored from Endpoints by the EndpointSliceMirroring controller they would not reconcile if modified. were not reconciled if modified ([#124131](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124131), [@zyjhtangtang](https://github.com/zyjhtangtang)) [SIG Apps and Network]
