## Title

    Proposed fix: [kubectl/client-go] Credential exec plugin failures: 'exec plugin: invalid apiVersion "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1"' or 'exec: executable <plugin> not found'

## Body

    Recommended action: Regenerate the kubeconfig with current cloud tooling (e.g. aws eks update-kubeconfig, gcloud container clusters get-credentials, az aks get-credentials + kubelogin convert-kubeconfig) or edit exec.apiVersion to v1beta1/v1; install the named plugin and ensure it is on PATH for the agent/CI process.
    
    Option: Regenerate kubeconfig and install the plugin [evidence: documented_workaround]
    Applies when: See record scope.
    Steps:
    1. Install plugin (e.g. gcloud components install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin / AWS CLI v2 / kubelogin)
    2. Re-run the provider's get-credentials/update-kubeconfig
    3. kubectl get ns
    Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
