- Fixes the total pod resources computation ([#137683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/137683), [@ndixita](https://github.com/ndixita)) [SIG CLI and Node]
- Garbage collector now correctly handles objects deleted externally, preventing spurious error logs. ([#136817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/136817), [@kairosci](https://github.com/kairosci)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Testing]

- Fixed a regression in default configurations, which enabled PodDisruptionConditions by default, 

  - A cluster-scoped object with an ownerReference referencing a uid of a namespaced kind is now consistently treated as though that owner is not resolvable, and the child object is ignored by the garbage collector.

- Fixed a regression in default configurations, which enabled `PodDisruptionConditions`
  by default, that prevented the control plane's pod garbage collector from deleting
