Commits

Commit	Type	Description
b9abd62	Mechanical	Rebase k8s-rebase-1.36.2 to k8s 1.36

This is a clean mechanical rebase — no source code changes were required. The project's Go source files are fully compatible with the bumped k8s 1.36 APIs.

Verification

All checks passed locally:

• Build: go build ./... — PASS
• Vet: go vet ./... — PASS
• Lint: golangci-lint — PASS
• Tests: All 3 test packages pass (cloudprivateipconfig, cloudprovider, controller/cloudprivateipconfig)
• staticcheck SA1019: No deprecated API usage in project source
• go mod verify: All modules verified, vendor consistent
• Independent review: APPROVE

Informational notes

• sets.NewString is used in aws.go and openstack_test.go — deprecated but still functional in v0.36.2
• 3 low/unscored CVE advisories in transitive deps (x/crypto openpgp, x/net dnsmessage, x/text norm) — none directly imported by this project
• New default-true feature gates in 1.36: AtomicFIFO, ClientsAllowCARotation, ClientsAllowTLSCacheGC, InOrderInformers, UnlockWhileProcessingFIFO

All commits carry Assisted-by: Claude Code trailers.
