Rehearsed kubernetes -> cluster-pool on the 3-node labsim cluster, which is the transition production faces. The switch itself is undramatic: agents stayed up, the operator adopted the pool, and the agent-not-ready taint deadlock did NOT occur. That deadlock is specific to ADDING IPv6 -- the agent blocks on an IPv6 pod CIDR that does not exist yet. A v4-only mode switch does not hit it. The real hazard is quieter. The operator does not preserve which node held which /24: two nodes swapped CIDRs. Their existing pods kept their old addresses, which now fall outside the node's range, so every other node routes that prefix to the wrong node. Cross-node ping to those pods dropped 100% while every pod stayed Running and every node stayed Ready. Nothing in `kubectl get pods` shows it. So "pods kept the same address" is the FAILURE signal here, not the reassurance it looks like. cilium-ipam-switch.sh verify now flags pods sitting outside their node's CIDR, which is the check that decides whether a recycle is optional (it is not) or mandatory (it is). Recycling every deploy/ds/sts restored it: all pods back inside their node CIDR, cross-node ping 0% loss. Sequence proven end to end: preflight -> apply -> restart operator then agents -> unstick if needed -> recycle all workloads -> verify Also fixed the recycle hint the script printed: `kubectl rollout restart deploy,ds,sts -A` is not valid (`unknown shorthand flag: 'A'`), so anyone following it under pressure would have got an error instead of a recycle.
