- Added the `DetectCacheInconsistency` feature gate, allowing the API server to periodically verify consistency between its `cache` and `etcd`. Detected inconsistencies reported via the `apiserver_storage_consistency_checks_total` metric and trigger purging of affected cache snapshots.

- Ensure Job status updates are batched by 1s. This fixes an unlikely scenario when a sequence of immediately 
  completing pods could trigger a sequence of non-batched Job status updates. ([#118470](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118470), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

* Fix a bug where soft eviction would not trigger when the threshold was crossed ([#52046](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52046), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- Revised scheduling behavior to correctly handle nominated node changes. Trigger rescheduling of pods

  The well-known annotation `endpoints.kubernetes.io/last-change-trigger-time` is skipped and not mirrored. ([#98116](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98116), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
