We'll be releasing 2.6.0+k8s-1.29 since the failures registered are motivated by an upgrade from 1.28 which contained a known bug fixed upstream via - k0sproject/k0s@c802ffd - and which our CI starting picking up with the changes introduced in #2239

Bug: K0s Version Mismatch Causes Build Failures

A k0s version mismatch exists between the Makefile and go.mod files. The Makefile defines K0S_VERSION and K0S_GO_VERSION as v1.29.14+k0s.0, while go.mod dependencies reference v1.29.15-0.20250228103203-4f3a6d9a007a. This inconsistency can lead to build or runtime issues.
