1. What work did the WG do this year that should be highlighted?
<!--
Some example items that might be worth highlighting:
- artifacts
- reports
- white papers
- work not tracked in KEPs
-->
Conversion of some additional components to structured, contextual logging
proceeded, most notably in the kubelet. [Contextual
logging](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/3077) got promoted
to beta in Kubernetes 1.30.
Lack of support for contextual logging in client-go leads to a significant
amount of log entries without context or not even using unstructured logging,
[sometimes lacking information](https://github.com/kubernetes/klog/issues/414)
that would identify which component the log message is about.
The focus end of 2024 was on [addressing that gap in
client-go](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129125), with
hopefully all changes landing in Kubernetes 1.34 in 2025.
2. Are there any areas and/or subprojects that your group needs help with (e.g. fewer than 2 active OWNERS)?
Once client-go is updated, we need to revisit components that were already
converted and make them use the new client-go APIs.
