Kubernetes: Validation Hardening and the iSCSI Security Sweep

Jordan Betz's PR 141866 formalizes how external projects can plug their own tag libraries into validation-gen, which matters because it opens the door for consumers like…
Second theme: storage security and correctness on the kubelet side. Two iSCSI PRs from this cycle matter for anyone running block storage. PR 140258 prevents a path traversal vulnerability where a crafted iSCSI qualified name could escape the intended plugin directory during metadata persistence — a real security…
Rounding things out: Jordan Liggitt's go 1.27 upgrade in PR 141663 and a bump to structured-merge-diff and kube-openapi in PR 141664 are foundational dependency moves other work will build on. Several lint and cleanup PRs from Stephen Kitt and others are tidying up now that all branches support newer Go tooling.
What's next: watch for the alpha disruption-by-priority scheduler feature, PR 141878, and the DRA pending allocation fix in PR 141879 — both still open and touching scheduling…
