- Fix kubectl completion zsh to use any command name rather than hardcoded kubectl ([#109235](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109235), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG CLI]
- Kubeadm: add the flag "--experimental-initial-corrupt-check" to etcd static Pod manifests to ensure etcd member data consistency ([#109075](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109075), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

- Kubeadm: add the flag "--experimental-initial-corrupt-check" to etcd static Pod manifests to ensure etcd member data consistency ([#109076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109076), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Cluster Lifecycle]

## Dependencies

- kubeadm: Remove usage of `PersistentVolumeLabel` ([#65827](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65827), [@xlgao-zju](https://github.com/xlgao-zju))
- kubeadm: Add a `v1alpha3` API. This change creates a v1alpha3 API that is initially a duplicate of v1alpha2. ([#65629](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65629), [@luxas](https://github.com/luxas))

  - container_cpu_usage_seconds --> container_cpu_usage_seconds_total
  This is a partial revert of [#86282](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86282), which was added in 1.18.0, and initially removed the _total suffix ([#89540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89540), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole)) [SIG Instrumentation and Node]

* ✨ Add additional OpenAPI metadata parameters to `FastAPI` class, shown on the automatic API docs UI. New docs: [Metadata and Docs URLs](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/metadata/). Initial PR [#1812](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/1812) by [@dkreeft](https://github.com/dkreeft)....

* Fix for Pod stuck in ContainerCreating with error "Volume is not yet attached according to node". ([#50806](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50806), [@verult](https://github.com/verult))
* Fix initial exec terminal dimensions. ([#51126](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51126), [@chen-anders](https://github.com/chen-anders))

* Free up CPU and memory requested but unused by Metrics Server Pod Nanny. ([#57252](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57252), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
* Configurable liveness probe initial delays for etcd and kube-apiserver in GCE ([#57749](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57749), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

* When using client or server certificate rotation, the Kubelet will no longer wait until the initial rotation succeeds or fails before starting static pods.  This makes running self-hosted masters with rotation more predictable. ([#58930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58930), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- Fixed #118052: nodeAffinity on pods can change prior to scheduling gates being removed even when podSpec.affinity is nil in the initial spec, this matches the 1.28 behavior to allow consistent integrators to be written.

- Cloud controller manager's node controller now emits timing metrics for initial `Node` synchronization. These metrics measure the delay between the creation of a new `Node` and the node controller's initial management actions, such as removing the cloud provider taint. These metrics should be consulted when setting cloud controller manager's `--concurrent-node-syncs` flag. ([#119241](ht...
