- Pod Finalizers and Conditions updates are skipped for re-scheduling attempts ([#91298](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91298), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]

    @Test
    @DisplayName("finalize() invokes checkRelease exactly once")
    void finalize_invokes_checkRelease() throws Throwable {
        // Arrange: spy to verify internal interaction with checkRelease()
        CIFSContext ctx = mock(CIFSContext.class);
        SmbTreeConnectionTrace trace = Mockito.spy(new SmbTreeConnectionTrace(ctx));

        // Act: directly invoke finalize to simulate GC finalization path

### Bug or Regression

- Only declare Job as finished after removing all Pod finalizers to avoid orphan Pods ([#119165](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119165), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Apps and Testing]

### Failing Test

- Resolves an issue running Ingress conformance tests on clusters which use finalizers on Ingress objects to manage releasing load balancer resources ([#96742](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96742), [@spencerhance](https://github.com/spencerhance)) [SIG Network and Testing]

  
  With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in next reconcile loop. Unfortunately if the provious existing pv has the Failed state, this patch won't take effort. It requires users to remove finalizer. ([#126043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126043), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]
