Cause (Documented platform behavior): The RESTMapper cannot map the kind/version to a served resource via discovery.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/6c1c7702cf2052245ef10e699d45f071af306f59/staging/src/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/meta/errors.go (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): NoKindMatchError renders 'no matches for kind %q in group %q', 'in version %q' or 'in versions %q'.
Search phrasings: no matches for kind in version kubectl apply; ensure CRDs are installed first; kubectl api version removed no matches for kind

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Apply fails for specific objects with 'resource mapping not found ... no matches for kind'; other objects apply.
- Context
- Product: kubectl / Kubernetes API discovery Component: REST mapping Operation: kubectl apply of manifests containing CRs (cert-manager, Prometheus Operator) or removed API versions (e.g. extensions/v1beta1) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: kubectl / client-go source at cited commit Trigger: The CustomResourceDefinition is applied in the same batch or not installed/established yet; or the manifest uses an apiVersion the cluster no longer serves.

Proposed fix: [kubectl apply] 'no matches for kind "X" in version "Y"' — CRD not installed yet or API version removed
Recommended action: Install CRDs first and wait for them (kubectl wait --for condition=established crd/<name>), then apply CRs; update manifests to a served apiVersion (check `kubectl api-resources` / `kubectl api-versions`).
Option: Apply CRDs first and wait [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. kubectl apply -f crds/
2. kubectl wait --for condition=established --timeout=60s crd/<name>
3. kubectl apply -f manifests/
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
