### Bug or Regression

- Fix missing delete events on informer re-lists to ensure all delete events are correctly emitted and using the latest known object state, so that all event handlers and stores always reflect the actual apiserver state as best as possible ([#115900](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115900), [@odinuge](https://github.com/odinuge)) [SIG API Machinery]
