## Summary - Release Dynamic Kafka Source split-local outputs when metadata refresh removes assigned splits. - Defer releases until the runtime `ReaderOutput` exists for restored/pending splits filtered during startup. - Add reader tests for both assigned split removal and restored pending split cleanup. ## Root Cause DynamicKafkaSourceReader filtered removed cluster/topic splits out of reader state and closed sub-readers, but did not call `ReaderOutput.releaseOutputForSplit(...)`. Flink keeps split-local outputs registered for watermark aggregation until they are explicitly released, so removed Kafka splits could continue holding back the source watermark indefinitely.
