    **Added** support for concurrent SidecarScope conversion. You can use `PILOT_CONVERT_SIDECAR_SCOPE_CONCURRENCY` to adjust the number of concurrencies.
    Its default value is 1 and will not be executed concurrently. 
    When `initSidecarScopes` consumes a lot of time and you want to reduce time consumption by increasing CPU consumption,
    you can increase the number of concurrent executions by increasing the value of `PILOT_CONVERT_SIDECAR_SCOPE_CONCURRENCY`.
