chore: remove RST swap mechanism, archive rst-*.rst under docs/_rst_legacy/

2026-05-10T14:23:58+00:00

The swap mechanism (RST-as-fallback for migrated MD pages) is dormant — docs/_rst_overrides.txt has been empty since the MyST flip trio (#1899/#1900/#1901) landed. The mechanism's surface area is dead weight and the rst-*.rst shadows scattered across the source tree cause Context7's parser to misclassify the project as RST. Sibling PR on rolling: yuriy/remove-rst-swap-mechanism Changes: - Move 253 rst-*.rst shadow files into docs/_rst_legacy/ preserving subdirectory structure. They remain in the repo for reference; Sphinx excludes the folder via exclude_patterns. - Strip swap_sources.py invocation from docs/Makefile. - Strip jobs: pre_build/post_build block from .readthedocs.yml. - Strip rst-*.rst exclude entry and the _md_exclude.txt loader from docs/conf.py; replace with a single _rst_legacy exclude. - Delete scripts/swap_sources.py, tests/test_swap_sources.py, docs/_rst_overrides.txt. - Update AGENTS.md: drop the "RST override mechanism" section and the test-runner snippet for the deleted test. Verified: sphinx-build -b html with --keep-going produces identical warning set (68 unique), identical sitemap entry count (267), identical llms.txt entry count (22), zero rst-* URLs in any artifact. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

feat: flip swap mechanism on circinus — MD as primary, RST as override

2026-05-06T18:08:17+00:00

Mirror of #1899 for circinus. Same logic, same scripts, per-branch file set. Changes: - Rename docs/**/md-.md to docs/**/.md (drop md- prefix) for all 253 stems previously listed in docs/_swap.txt - Rename docs/**/.rst to docs/**/rst-.rst (add rst- prefix) for the same 253 stems - Repurpose docs/_swap.txt as docs/_rst_overrides.txt; initially empty - conf.py exclude_patterns flipped: rst-*.rst excluded by default - conf.py runtime-artifact references updated to _rst_override_state.json and _md_exclude.txt - scripts/swap_sources.py rewritten with inverted rename direction (rst-.rst → .rst when applying overrides; .md excluded via _md_exclude.txt) - scripts/import_myst.py and tests/test_import_myst.py deleted (obsolete) - tests/test_swap_sources.py rewritten for new semantics Identical change set to #1899 (current). Per-branch differences: - circinus has 253 stems vs current's 254 (suricata is current-only) - otherwise the script/conf.py/test changes are byte-identical with current Generated by robots https://vyos.io
