Pod status desynchronisation between vCluster and host

What happened?

We face with a pod status desynchronisation between vCluster and host :

• pod is in a running state in a host cluster
• pod remains pending in the vcluster

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to have the same pod status between host cluster and vcluster

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

TBC

Anything else we need to know?

We have the following message in the vcluster logs : vcluster-696b59b865-m59xs syncer 2026-08-21 15:43:28 ERROR controller/controller.go:494 Reconciler error {"component": "vcluster", "controller": "pod", "namespace": "01-coa-replacement-sync-k8s-gitops-repo", "nam e": "k8s-wip-generator-84778c9bd4-2vskg", "reconcileID": "29dc9db6-8c04-4551-87d3-4c41ca0a272d", "error": "sync: patch virtual object: update object: Pod "k8s-wip-generator-84778c9bd4-2vskg" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: po d updates may not change fields other than spec.containers[*].image,spec.initContainers[*].image,spec.activeDeadlineSeconds,spec.tolerations (only additions to existing tolerations),`spec.terminationGracePeriodSecond
