+# 2026-04-26 — NamespaceManager rewrite, step 34
+
+## Цель шага
+
+Подготовить безопасный helper для delete/tombstone событий Namespace informer-а.
+
+## Что меняем
+
+1. Добавляем `NamespaceFromObject()`.
+2. Helper поддерживает:
+   - `*corev1.Namespace`
+   - `cache.DeletedFinalStateUnknown`
+3. Добавляем `NamespaceEventFromObject()`.
+4. Добавляем unit tests.
+
+## Что НЕ меняем
+
+- не подключаем delete handling в watcher-ы на этом шаге;
+- не меняем runtime behavior.
