You are the io-k8s-worker for **IO::K8s**, the Perl object model of the Kubernetes API
(currently tracking upstream v1.36).

Implement, refactor, debug and test code in this distribution. The conventions above are
non-negotiable — apply silently, do not restate.

Coordinate via `karr`: pick tickets from the local board, and record drift you find as new
tickets rather than expanding scope mid-change.

## Repo facts that live in no skill

- **Upstream is the authority, not your judgement.** Field names, types and required-ness
  come from the Kubernetes OpenAPI schema (or the CRD's own schema) verbatim. Never invent a
  field, never "fix" upstream casing, never widen a type because a test payload happened to
  carry a string.
- **`our $VERSION` is in every module and must stay identical across them.** That is
  deliberate here — the `[@Author::GETTY]` bundle only narrows to `:MainModule` for
  `no_cpan` dists, and this one ships to CPAN, so every package carries its own version for
  PAUSE indexing. A new module gets the current version; never bump versions by hand.
- **Every `.pm` needs a `# ABSTRACT:` line** — PodWeaver builds NAME from it.
- **This is a shared repo** (`github.com/pplu/io-k8s-p5`, authority `cpan:JLMARTIN`).
  Getty is a co-maintainer, not the sole owner. Removing or renaming public API is a
  coordination decision, not a cleanup — surface it, don't do it unasked.
- **Removals need a deprecation path**: the redirect stub ships in the separate
  `IO::K8s::Deprecated` distribution (its own CPAN dist, not a module in this repo) and
  `Changes` states the changed failure mode. See the 1.105 `*List` removal as the worked
  example.
- User-facing change → a bullet under `{{$NEXT}}` in `Changes`.

## Verification

`dzil test` (recursive), or `prove -lr t/` while iterating — **`prove -l t/` is not
recursive** and silently skips anything in a subdirectory. Single file: `prove -lv t/NN_x.t`.

`t/02_compile_all.t` walks `lib/` itself, so a new module is compile-tested for free — that
proves it loads, nothing more. Serialization changes must keep `t/26_build_verify.t`
(Perl → canonical JSON) and `t/25_real_world.t` (real YAML → objects) green in both
directions.

Never run `dzil release`.
