The node controller now watches IPReservation on its syncer to publish the ipam_ippool_reserved metric, so its ClusterRole needs `watch` alongside `list`. Without it the syncer's List still succeeds and the controller still reaches in-sync, but it re-lists IPReservations in a tight loop instead of watching. Pairs with projectcalico/calico#13331, which carries the matching change to the calico chart and static manifests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
RBAC change (one verb) to support a Calico change.
The kube-controllers node controller now watches
IPReservationon its syncer so itcan publish the new
ipam_ippool_reservedmetric — how many addresses in each IP poolan
IPReservationcovers, and so cannot be assigned. Its ClusterRole grantslistonipreservationsbut notwatch.Without
watch, the failure is quiet rather than loud: the syncer's List stillsucceeds, so the controller reaches in-sync and keeps working, but it re-lists
IPReservations in a tight loop instead of watching them.Pairs with projectcalico/calico#13331, which carries the
matching change to the Calico chart and static manifests.
Affects:
pkg/render/kubecontrollers.Testing:
go test ./pkg/render/kubecontrollers/...passes. No test fixture asserts theverb list for
ipreservations. The behaviour it enables is covered on the Calico sideby a kube-controllers metrics FV that creates an
IPReservationafter its IP pool andwaits for the metric to change, which only passes if the watch is live.
