Dapr v1.16.16

This patch release focuses on stability and operational flexibility, specifically addressing critical blockers encountered when rolling back from newer Dapr versions. It resolves a certificate signing mismatch in Sentry and automates storage size detection during Helm downgrades to prevent deployment failures.

Fix certificate signing failures during version downgrades — This prevents a critical Sentry crash that occurs when downgrading from newer versions. It ensures that service-to-service mTLS continues to function even if the trust bundle was generated with a different cryptographic algorithm, maintaining the security posture of your microservices.

Enabled seamless Helm downgrades for the Scheduler service — Kubernetes forbids changing storage sizes on existing StatefulSets, which previously blocked Helm downgrades. This fix automates the detection of existing storage sizes, allowing for smoother rollbacks and maintenance without manual 'kubectl' intervention or risk of state loss.
