This release improves scheduling accuracy for newly created nodes with device-plugin-managed resources such as GPUs. During the brief registration delay, catalog-declared extended capacity is considered so workloads do not trigger unnecessary duplicate machine requests. Once a device plugin reports allocatable capacity, its reported value remains authoritative.

## Changes

### Features

- Prevents duplicate machine provisioning for pods requesting catalog-declared extended resources while a new node's device plugin is still registering. (!48)
