4.16.0-0.nightly-2026-09-01-193542

Manual Override Applied

This release was manually Accepted.

Reason: Flake-only rejection: 9/10 blocking jobs passed; sole failure (e2e-gcp-ovn-rt-upgrade 4.15→4.16) completed the upgrade successfully but post-upgrade conformance hit 5 flakes (sig-node eviction timeout, sig-instrumentation metrics timeout, multus cni-sysctl-allowlist-ds QoS/resource issues). Test framework itself reported "5 flakes detected, suite allows passing with only flakes". Zero new PRs in payload — no code regression possible. — https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/C0AMHBXQW9F/p1788328552114439
