🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

What Kubernetes module versions (k8s.io/api, k8s.io/apimachinery, k8s.io/client-go) are officially supported by sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime v0.23.3? Please provide upstream documentation or release notes links.

💡 Result:

The sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime v0.23.3 module depends on and is specifically tested with Kubernetes module version v0.35.0 [1][2]. Specifically, the following Kubernetes modules are required at version v0.35.0 for controller-runtime v0.23.3 [2]: - k8s.io/api - k8s.io/apimachinery - k8s.io/client-go Upstream documentation, including the project's go.mod file and versioning guidelines, confirms that each minor version of controller-runtime is created to align with a corresponding minor version of these Kubernetes dependencies [3][4]. While controller-runtime may happen to work with other versions, such compatibility is neither supported nor tested by the project [3].

Fix unsupported controller-runtime ↔ Kubernetes version skew in go.mod

sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime v0.23.3 is upstream-tested against Kubernetes module dependencies at v0.35.0 (k8s.io/api, k8s.io/apimachinery, k8s.io/client-go). This PR bumps those Kubernetes modules to v0.36.1 (and also k8s.io/apiextensions-apiserver to v0.36.1) while leaving controller-runtime at v0.23.3, which is not an officially supported combination and can introduce subtle runtime/type skew. Align by either bumping controller-runtime to the release matching k8s v0.36.x or keeping the Kubernetes modules at v0.35.0.
