Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Kubernetes contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Kubernetes
Current-contract area: Kubernetes 1.36 deprecates Service spec.externalIPs
Likely root cause: Upgrade warnings and policy checks fail for services relying on externalIPs.
Repair direction: Verifier checks behavior across multiple requests/build modes, not merely compilation. Check resource behavior after apply, not only schema acceptance.

Symptom

Upgrade warnings and policy checks fail for services relying on externalIPs.

Why This Happens

Local code often type-checks under both old and new framework semantics; the failure depends on the installed framework version and current runtime defaults.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
