Removed fields which have no other owners are deleted from the live object, or reset to their default value if they have one. Safe ownership transfers, such as the transfer of a `replicas` field from a user to an HPA without resetting to the default value are documented in [Transferring Ownership](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#transferring-ownership) ([#92661](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92661), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI,...

### Deployment

- Windows CSI Support: Enabling containerized CSI node plugins in Windows via new [CSIProxy](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-proxy)
- Recursive Volume Ownership OnRootMismatch Option: Add a new “OnRootMismatch” policy that can help shorten the mount time for volumes that require ownership change and have many directories and files.

### Other notable announcements

- Added progress tracking for volume permission and ownership changes. ([#130398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130398), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Node and Storage]

### Server-side Apply graduates to GA

- Server-side apply will now use the openapi provided in the CRD validation field to help figure out how to correctly merge objects and update ownership. ([#77354](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77354), [@jennybuckley](https://github.com/jennybuckley))
