Zero-friction lightweight Kubernetes distribution

k0s opens its 1.37 line while security fixes ride the older branches.

◆Current state
k0s published v1.37.1 alongside 1.36.5, 1.35.9 and 1.34.12 on the same morning, so four branches are now live. The older branches took Kubernetes patch bumps, etcd 3.6.15 and deferred manifest directory creation, and 1.36 also scoped the worker autopilot to its own Node. In September, 1.36.4+k0s.1 and 1.35.8+k0s.1 shipped a fix for GHSA-qjgc-wmg7-3jc3, with csr-approver hardening on the 1.35 branch.
◆Where it's heading
The branch-parallel pattern is holding and now has a new top line. Lifecycle safety stays the core work: reset steps wired to contexts, autopilot retries and discovery refreshes, and autopilot scope limited to its own node. The 1.37 notes read as a long development log rather than a curated release, which fits a project that lets upstream Kubernetes carry the feature story.
◆Prediction
Expect the next Kubernetes patch round to reach all four branches within hours of each other, and the oldest of them to drop off now that 1.37 is out, though these notes do not state a support window.

    1.36.5: Kubernetes bump, etcd 3.6.15, scoped worker autopilot

    The 1.36 branch takes Kubernetes 1.36.5, etcd 3.6.15 and a worker autopilot scoped to its own Node, which narrows what that component can touch.
