* Add `kubectl apply edit-last-applied` subcommand ([#42256](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/42256), [@shiywang](https://github.com/shiywang))

  * Strategic Merge Patch

    * Reference docs now display the patch type and patch merge key used by `kubectl apply` to merge and identify unique elements in arrays.

  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back.
  The annotation `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking` is now deprecated.

* Requests with invalid credentials no longer match audit policy rules where users or groups are set, correcting a problem where authorized requests were getting through. ([#59398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/59398), [@CaoShuFeng](https://github.com/CaoShuFeng))
