+## Developer News
+
+Benjamin Elder is [implementing a policy of not re-triaging some issues](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/issues/32957); [comment on the PR](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/34321).
+
+We're [promoting several Kind-based test jobs](https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/issues/2740) to release-blocking, since they've shown themselves to be reliable and able to catch real issues.
+
+## Release Schedule
+
+**Next Deadline: Code Freeze and Test Freeze March 21**
+
+We're on our final approach to Code Freeze. Topics for the Feature Blog were frozen this week. Time to wrap up your work for 1.33.
+
+March patch release cherry-picks are due this Friday.
+
+## Featured PRs
+
+[130349: Declarative Validation: Add validation generator](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130349)
+
+This PR kicks off the implementation of **Declarative Validation** in Kubernetes
+by introducing `validation-gen`, a code generator that automatically produces
+validation logic based on structured `//+` tags in `types.go` files. The validation
+system is modular, with a core set of built-in validation rules, and future PRs
+will expand it with additional plugins like `dnsName`, `enum`, and `union`.
+This PR also includes a robust test suite to ensure correctness across various
+validation scenarios.
