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

2026-05-10T14:19:31+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 in May 2026. The mechanism's surface area (scripts/swap_sources.py, its 245-line test, RTD pre/post hooks, Makefile glue, conf.py dynamic loader) is dead weight, and the rst-*.rst shadows scattered across the source tree cause Context7's parser to misclassify the project as RST. 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; Context7 excludes it via excludeFolders. - Strip swap_sources.py invocation from docs/Makefile (swap/restore targets, : swap deps, trap chains). - 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 context7.json: add docs/_rst_legacy to excludeFolders; fix stale "Branch current tracks…" rule to "Branch rolling tracks…" (default branch was renamed 2026-05-10). - Update AGENTS.md: drop the "RST override mechanism" section and the test-runner snippet for the deleted test; describe _rst_legacy as archive only. Verified: sphinx-build -b html with --keep-going produces identical warning set (68 unique), identical sitemap entry count (257), identical llms.txt entry count (22), zero rst-* URLs in any artifact. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

feat: flip swap mechanism — MD as primary, RST as override (Phase 1)

2026-05-06T17:42:32+00:00

This is the first of three phases inverting the per-page swap mechanism so MD becomes the canonical primary and RST becomes the rare override. Phase 1 — file renames + conf.py exclude_patterns flip only: - Rename docs/**/md-.md to docs/**/.md (drop md- prefix) for all 254 stems previously listed in docs/_swap.txt - Rename docs/**/.rst to docs/**/rst-.rst (add rst- prefix) for the same 254 stems - Repurpose docs/_swap.txt as docs/_rst_overrides.txt; initially empty comment-only since no pages need the RST fallback right now - conf.py exclude_patterns flipped: rst-*.rst is now excluded by default instead of md-*.md - conf.py runtime-artifact references updated to _rst_override_state.json and _md_exclude.txt (Phase 2 will rewrite swap_sources.py to produce these names; for now no swap script runs because overrides list is empty) Phase 2 (next commit on this branch) will rewrite scripts/swap_sources.py with inverted rename direction, delete scripts/import_myst.py + tests, and update tests/test_swap_sources.py for the new semantics. Phase 3 will be the cleanup pass and ready-for-review flip. Generated by robots https://vyos.io

refactor(swap): rename imported .md files to md- prefix for swap mechanism

2026-05-06T13:18:03+00:00

Restore the canary file naming convention that swap_sources.py expects: the imported MyST pages now live as docs//md-.md alongside the existing docs//.rst, so swap_sources.py --swap can rename them into place at build time. - 254 .md files renamed (every page with a matching .rst counterpart) - 2 MyST-only pages left at their final names (no .rst exists, no swap needed): docs/copyright.md, docs/automation/terraform/terraformvyos.md All 114 stems listed in docs/_swap.txt now have a corresponding md-.md source file ready to swap in. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

fix: re-add md-lcp.md and md-memory.md (deleted by 870c9e7e)

2026-05-06T13:18:03+00:00

Same disaster pattern as 242b334a: a swap-restore cycle left unprefixed *.md files in the working tree, and the subsequent git add staged deletions instead of modifications. Restoring the two affected md-*.md files from origin/myst/current 079fa786 (which has the dual underscore+dash anchors needed for the swap-active build). 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

fix: resolve remaining xref label gaps in swap-active build

2026-05-06T13:18:03+00:00

Three small additions clear the cross-reference warnings tied to underscore-vs-dash label form mismatches and the vpp-config-hugepages reference that previously needed system.md in the canary set. - system.rst: add .. _vpp-config-hugepages: alongside the existing underscore label so memory.md references resolve regardless of whether system.md is swap-active. - md-lcp.md: add (vpp_config_dataplane_lcp_ignore-kernel-routes)= alongside dash form (carries upstream from myst/current 079fa786). - md-memory.md: add (vpp_config_dataplane_memory)= alongside dash form (also from myst/current 079fa786). Local clean swap-build with 106 canaries: before: 305 warnings, 8 undefined-label entries in our scope after: 300 warnings, 0 undefined-label entries in our scope Remaining undefined-label warnings (release-notes, prepare_commit) are in documentation.rst and unrelated to the canary swap mechanism. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

fix: re-add 4 canary md-*.md files deleted by 242b334a

2026-05-06T13:18:03+00:00

Commit 242b334a accidentally staged deletions instead of modifications because the working tree had unprefixed *.md files left over from an incomplete swap-restore cycle. Re-imports the same 4 files from origin/myst/current with the xref label fixes applied: - contributing/md-development.md — (coding-guidelines)= anchor - operation/md-upgrade-recovery.md — how_it_works → how-it-works, cancelling_recovery → cancelling-recovery - vpp/configuration/dataplane/md-buffers.md — vpp_config_dataplane_physmem → vpp-config-dataplane-physmem - vpp/configuration/dataplane/md-unix.md — vpp_config_dataplane_interface_rx_mode → vpp-config-dataplane-interface-rx-mode Source: origin/myst/current commit 59fbe3ea. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)

Re-imports the dash-form-corrected versions of: - contributing/md-development.md (added (coding-guidelines)= anchor) - operation/md-upgrade-recovery.md (3 ref renames: how_it_works / cancelling_recovery -> dash form) - vpp/configuration/dataplane/md-buffers.md (vpp_config_dataplane_physmem -> vpp-config-dataplane-physmem) - vpp/configuration/dataplane/md-unix.md (vpp_config_dataplane_interface_rx_mode -> vpp-config-dataplane-interface-rx-mode) Source: origin/myst/current commit 59fbe3ea. Verified locally: clean swap-build no longer reports any of the 5 target labels (1 of 6 — vpp-config-hugepages — remains because system.md isn't in the canary swap list; that anchor lives there). 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io)
