### Failing Test

The focus of this release is **compatibility** with Pydantic v1 and v2, to make sure your current apps keep working. Later there will be more focus on refactors, correctness, code improvements, and then **performance** improvements.

This was not an official benchmark and I didn't check it myself,...

- Kubelet: close a loophole where static pods could reference arbitrary ResourceClaims. The pods created by the kubelet then don't run due to a sanity check, but such references shouldn't be allowed regardless.
