Research direction

Read controller/pods/controller.go, especially lines 140-155, and inspect how podInfo.save and the later pod data are used. Determine whether the range-loop handling causes an actual bug, then classify the finding as Bug, Mitigated, or Desirable Behavior and leave the corresponding reaction; the issue provides no failing test or requested code change.
