- Added support for CEL expressions with escaped names in the structured authentication config. Using `[...]` to access claims or user data was recommended when names contained characters that would otherwise need escaping. CEL optionals with `?` could be used where has was not applicable — for example, `claims[?"kubernetes.io"]` or `user.extra[?"domain.io/foo"]`.

On the Persistent Volumes side, this release [Prevents deletion of Persistent Volume Claims that are used by a pod](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/498) and [Persistent Volumes that are bound to a Persistent Volume Claim](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/499), making it impossible to delete storage that is in use by a pod.

  ResourceClass, PodScheduling) must be deleted. The changes are internal, so
  YAML files which create pods and resource claims don't need changes except for
  the newer `apiVersion`. ([#116299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116299), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
