When that directory changes between Gradle invocations, the state is discarded and recreated.
Typically, the Gradle user home directory does not change for a given process, so this is effectively process state.

The build process state is managed by the `BuildProcessState` class. An instance is created once for a given process.

### Build session state

- Scheduler bugfix: Scheduler doesn't lose pod information when nodes are quickly recreated. This could happen when nodes are restarted or quickly recreated reusing a nodename. ([#93964](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93964), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

## Known Issues
- volumeDevices mapping ignored when container is privileged

- Failed pods associated with a job with `parallelism = 1` are recreated by the job controller honoring exponential backoff delay again. However, for jobs with `parallelism > 1`, pods might be created without exponential backoff delay.

- Scheduler bugfix: Scheduler doesn't lose pod information when nodes are quickly recreated. This could happen when nodes are restarted or quickly recreated reusing a nodename.

* Ensure orphan public IPs on Azure deleted when service recreated with the same name. ([#70463](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70463), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

- Fixes a bug where EndpointSlices would not be recreated after rapid Service recreation. ([#94730](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94730), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott)) [SIG Apps, Network and Testing]

- Fixes an issue that can result in namespaced custom resources being orphaned when their namespace is deleted, if the CRD defining the custom resource is removed concurrently with namespaces being deleted, then recreated. ([#93790](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93790), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

- Number of errors reported to the metric `storage_operation_duration_seconds_count` for emptyDir decreased significantly because previously one error was reported for each projected volume created. ([#117022](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117022), [@mpatlasov](https://github.com/mpatlasov)) [SIG Storage]

  - Certificates created with kubeadm now have improved uniqueness of Distinguished Name fields.
- HA improvements:
  - `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane` can now be used to join control plane instances to an existing cluster.
  - `kubeadm upgrade node experimental-control-plane` can now be used for upgrading secondary control plane instances created with `kubeadm join --experimental-control-plane`.
