T3871: bind interface names to hardware slots instead of hw-id (#2246)

2026-10-31T13:36:49+00:00

* docs: T3871: describe how interface names are assigned Names are no longer derived from the hw-id node. They are bound to the slot the hardware occupies and recorded in a mapping file, so document what decides a name, what happens when a card is replaced or added, and how to rename an interface. The troubleshooting page said to pin a MAC with hw-id when interfaces were renamed after a VM migration or a clone. That node no longer exists and the situation it describes no longer arises, so replace it with a pointer to the new section and a note on where to look when an interface really is missing. * docs: T3871: drop hw-id from the example output The node is gone from the CLI, so example configuration dumps which still show it no longer match what a reader sees on their own system. Remove it from the shown output only; no prose changes. The comparison shown on the testing page is rewritten rather than trimmed, as deleting the lines would have left an edit level behind with nothing under it.

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
