- This PR added tracing support to the kubelet's read-only endpoint, which currently
  does not have tracing. It makes use of the `WithPublicEndpoint` option to prevent callers

- Promoted the `APIServerTracing` feature gate to GA. The `--tracing-config-file` flag accepted `TracingConfiguration` in version `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1` (with no changes from `apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1beta1`). ([#132340](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132340), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))...

- Introduced new kubelet metrics for the Ensure Secret Pulled Images KEP, including:
      - `kubelet_imagemanager_ondisk_pullintents` for tracking pull intent records on disk
      - `kubelet_imagemanager_ondisk_pulledrecords` for tracking pulled image records on disk

  Jobs that are tracked using this mechanism get the annotation `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking`. This is a temporary measure. Two releases after this feature graduates to beta, the annotation won't be added to Jobs anymore. ([#98817](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98817), ...

- [migration phase 1] PodMatchNodeSelector/NodAffinity as filter plugin ([#83660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83660), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- Add more tracing steps in generic_scheduler ([#83539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83539), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

- Fixed a kubelet and kube-apiserver memory leak in default 1.29 configurations related to tracing. ([#126957](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126957), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, Instrumentation and Node]

- Respect the incoming trace context for authenticated requests to the kube-apiserver for APIServer tracing.
