Description

Expected Behavior

In some occasion (it is hard to reproduce and seems a bit random), the pod is deployed correctly and works on the cluster, but in tilt we don't receive logs, port forward isn't working and the pod status is not updated. After few tilt restart it starts working again

Current Behavior
Steps to Reproduce

Difficult to reproduce, but If there is a way to debug it when it happens I'm ready to try

Research direction

Start by reviewing the reported Tilt v0.34.3 environment and trying to capture the failure while logs, port forwarding, and pod status all stop updating. Since reproduction is currently described as difficult and no files or tests are named, trace the relevant Kubernetes event, log-streaming, status, and port-forwarding entry points; done means identifying the cause and preventing the stalled state or documenting a reliable diagnostic.
