Update note 1: vmalert: rule ConfigMaps now store gzip-compressed content in binaryData and an init container decompresses them before VMAlert starts. Existing VMAlert pods will be rolled out once during this upgrade.

• FEATURE: vmoperator: add validating webhooks for Prometheus Operator CRDs (ServiceMonitor, PodMonitor, PrometheusRule, Probe, ScrapeConfig, AlertmanagerConfig). Each object is converted to its VM equivalent and validated when webhooks are enabled. See #​2270.

• FEATURE: vmscrapeconfig: add support for consulAgentSDConfigs, dockerSDConfigs, dockerSwarmSDConfigs, marathonSDConfigs, and yandexCloudSDConfigs service discovery types, bringing VMScrapeConfig to full parity with VictoriaMetrics sd_configs. See #​2265.

• FEATURE: vmalert: rule ConfigMaps now store gzip-compressed rule files in binaryData, allowing larger rule sets within Kubernetes object size limits. An init container decompresses the rules before VMAlert starts.

• FEATURE: vmscrapeconfig: add support for consulAgentSDConfigs, dockerSDConfigs, dockerSwarmSDConfigs, marathonSDConfigs, and yandexCloudSDConfigs service discovery types, bringing VMScrapeConfig to full parity with VictoriaMetrics sd_configs. See #​2265.

• FEATURE: vmoperator: add victoriametrics_app=true label to all metrics scraped by the operator. See #​2261.

• BUGFIX: vmoperator: skip reconciliation only for CRs with genuine spec parse errors; CRs whose ParsingSpecError is caused solely by unknown fields (e.g. after an operator downgrade) are now reconciled normally instead of being silently skipped.

• BUGFIX: vmoperator: fix potential deadlock in operator_object_status metrics collector when the number of tracked objects exceeds 250. The Collect method previously held a mutex while sending to the prometheus channel, which could deadlock if the channel was full and another goroutine was waiting on the same mutex. See #​2239.

• BUGFIX: config-reloader: fix missed reload for watched files whose names contain .. (e.g. rules..yaml). Previously any path containing .. was silently skipped; now only Kubernetes synthetic entries whose basename starts with .. (e.g. ..data) are ignored. See #​2253.
