Close two of the four CKA-relevant gaps identified against Killercoda's
scenario catalog:
- Q123 (TSHOOT, hard): kube-apiserver itself crash-loops on a static-pod
manifest typo, same pattern as the existing scheduler/controller-manager
failures (Q20/Q118) but with the added twist that kubectl is completely
unusable until it's fixed, forcing node-level diagnosis (crictl,
journalctl).
- Q124 (ARCH, hard): produce a real node-join handoff file by
independently computing the CA discovery hash kubeadm join verifies
against, and finding the API server's actual in-cluster address rather
than the local kubeconfig's port-forwarded one.
Cluster-upgrade and operator-authoring remain unimplemented and are
documented as genuine infrastructure gaps in CKA_SOLUTIONS_EXPLAINED.md
(kind's node images have no apt-installable multi-version kubelet/kubeadm,
and operator authoring needs a real built/pushed image) rather than faked.
Also updates the Killercoda cross-reference table with the gaps closed,
and logs an ended drill session to history-cka.jsonl/weak-spots-cka.md.
