- Kubernetes components no longer handle panics, and instead actively crash.  All Kubernetes components should be run by something that actively restarts them. This is true of the default setups, but those with custom environments may need to double-check (#28800, @lavalamp)

- Fixed a 1.26.7 regression where kube-controller-manager can crash when StatefulSet with Parallel policy and PVC labels is scaled up. ([#121186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121186), [@aleksandra-malinowska](https://github.com/aleksandra-malinowska)) [SIG Apps]
