I checked the scheduler-plugins compatibility matrix : Scheduler Plugins — Compatibility Matrix
It lists scheduler-plugins v0.34.7 as being compiled with Kubernetes v1.34.7, but your docs guide uses scheduler-plugins v0.34.7 with Kubernetes v1.35.
So the versions in the guide don't appear to be aligned with the compatibility matrix.

Why does HAMi need create, update, and patch permissions on PodGroups at all?
If HAMi only needs to inspect PodGroups to determine whether Pods belong to the same group, wouldn't get, list, and watch be sufficient?
If the write permissions are required, could you clarify what HAMi uses them for?

The manifest above defines one Pod that belongs to the gang. Create additional Pods with the same scheduling.x-k8s.io/pod-group label to satisfy minMember. Each Pod should have a distinct name; otherwise, the group cannot reach the required number of members and the Pods will remain Pending.

Kubernetes spec.schedulingGroup.podGroupName v1.35 alpha feature gate documentation
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes v1.35, the spec.schedulingGroup.podGroupName field is an alpha feature used to associate a Pod with a PodGroup for collective scheduling (such as gang scheduling) [1][2]. Key implementation details include: Feature Gate: Use of this field requires the GenericWorkload feature gate to be enabled on both the kube-apiserver and the kube-scheduler [1][3]. API Group: The PodGroup resource is part of the scheduling.k8s.io/v1alpha2 API group, which must also be enabled in the cluster [2][4]. Usage: The field is defined within the Pod specification: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: example-pod spec: schedulingGroup: podGroupName: containers: - name: container-name image: image-name Key Characteristics: - Immutability: The spec.schedulingGroup field is immutable; once a Pod is associated with a PodGroup, it cannot be moved to a different one [1][5]. - Dependency: If a Pod references a PodGroup that does not exist, the Pod will remain in a pending state until the PodGroup is created [1][5]. - Scheduling Policies: The PodGroup dictates the scheduling behavior (e.g., gang scheduling via minCount) for the Pods that reference it [1][2]. Note that in Kubernetes v1.36, the workload-aware scheduling architecture was further advanced, and these APIs (Workload and PodGroup) remain under the GenericWorkload feature gate [3][6].

kubernetes-sigs scheduler-plugins v0.34.7 coscheduling Kubernetes v1.34 pod-group label compatibility
💡 Result:
The Kubernetes SIGs scheduler-plugins version v0.34.7 is fully compatible with Kubernetes v1.34 [1][2]. This release was explicitly built and tested against Kubernetes v1.34.7 [1][2][3]. Regarding Coscheduling and PodGroup label compatibility: 1. Label Requirement: The Coscheduling plugin uses the label scheduling.x-k8s.io/pod-group to associate pods with a PodGroup [4][5]. Pods that share the same value for this label are treated as belonging to the same group [4][5]. 2. CRD Usage: While the Coscheduling plugin relies on the PodGroup Custom Resource Definition (CRD) to define parameters like minMember and scheduleTimeoutSeconds [6], the specific PodGroup label on the pods is the mechanism used to link those pods to the corresponding PodGroup object [4][6]. 3. Compatibility Note: As of version v0.34.7, the architecture for these plugins is aligned with the Kubernetes v1.34 scheduling framework [1][2]. Ensure that your PodGroup objects are created using the appropriate API version (typically scheduling.x-k8s.io/v1alpha1) [6] and that the pods are correctly labeled to match the PodGroup name [4][6]. It is recommended to verify your installation by checking that the scheduler-plugins image version matches your Kubernetes version, as shown in official documentation [7].

Separate the native Kubernetes scheduling-group path from the scheduler-plugins v0.34.7 path.
The v0.34.7 example targets Kubernetes v1.34 and uses the scheduling.x-k8s.io/pod-group label. spec.schedulingGroup.podGroupName is a Kubernetes v1.35 alpha field that requires GenericWorkload in the API server and scheduler. Remove this field from both language versions and the corresponding configure.md entries, or document a separate v1.35+ feature-gated setup.

What this PR does / why we need it:
Project-HAMi/HAMi#2066 added a PodGroup-aware node lock retry in the
scheduler extender, along with the
--node-lock-retry-timeoutflag.Neither the flag nor the Coscheduling setup it targets is documented
on the site today.
This adds:
userguide/coscheduling/how-to-use-coscheduling.mdcovering how theCoscheduling Permit phase and the HAMi node lock interact, the setup
steps (scheduler-plugins image, PodGroup CRD, scheduler config, RBAC,
gang submission), node lock tuning, and troubleshooting.
userguide/configure.mdfor--node-lock-retry-timeoutand--node-lock-timeout.Setup steps and error messages come from testing on kind and on a k3s
cluster with a real T4, recorded in Project-HAMi/HAMi#1832.
The flag is not in v2.9.0, so both pages target
