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

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.

-
-Health checks
-=============
-
-
-HTTP checks
------------
-
-Use HTTP health checks to monitor web applications that provide health status
-information and determine their availability.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set load-balancing haproxy backend <name> http-check
-
-  Enables HTTP health checks using OPTION HTTP requests against '/' and
-  expecting a successful response code in the 200-399 range.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set load-balancing haproxy backend <name> http-check
-   method <method>
-
-  Set the HTTP method: ``OPTION``, ``GET``, ``POST``, or ``PUT``.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set load-balancing haproxy backend <name> http-check
-   uri <path>
-
-  Set the endpoint to use for health checks.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set load-balancing haproxy backend <name> http-check
-   expect <condition>
-
-  Set the expected result condition for a server to be considered healthy.
-
-  Some possible examples are:
-   * ``status 200`` Expecting a 200 response code
-   * ``status 200-399`` Expecting a non-failure response code
-   * ``string success`` Expecting the string `success` in the response body
-
-
-TCP checks
-----------
-
-Configure health checks for TCP mode backends. You can configure protocol-aware
-checks for a range of Layer 7 protocols:
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set load-balancing haproxy backend <name> health-check <protocol>
-
-  Available health check protocols:
-   * ``ldap`` LDAP protocol check.
-   * ``redis`` Redis protocol check.
-   * ``mysql`` MySQL protocol check.
-   * ``pgsql`` PostgreSQL protocol check.
-   * ``smtp`` SMTP protocol check.
-
-.. note:: If you specify a server to check but do not configure a
-   protocol, HAProxy performs a basic TCP health check. A server is online if
-   it responds to a connection attempt with a valid ``SYN/ACK`` packet.
-
-
-Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
-======================
-
-Configure a HAProxy service for HTTP that listens on port 80 and redirects
-incoming requests to HTTPS:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http port '80'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http redirect-http-to-https
-
-You can use a different service name; in this example, ``http`` is just for
-convenience.
-
-
-Examples
-========
-
-Level 4 balancing
------------------
-
-This configuration enables the TCP reverse proxy for the ``my-tcp-api``
-service. Incoming TCP connections on port 8888 are load balanced across the
-backend servers (srv01 and srv02) using the round-robin load balancing
-algorithm.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api backend 'bk-01'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api mode 'tcp'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api port '8888'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 balance 'round-robin'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 mode 'tcp'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 address '192.0.2.11'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 port '8881'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 address '192.0.2.12'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 port '8882'
-
-
-Balancing based on domain name
-------------------------------
-The following configuration demonstrates how to use VyOS
-to achieve load balancing based on the domain name:
-
-The HTTP service listens on TCP port 80.
-
-Rule 10 matches requests with the domain name ``node1.example.com`` and
-forwards them to the backend ``bk-api-01``.
-
-Rule 20 matches requests with the domain name ``node2.example.com`` and
-forwards them to the backend ``bk-api-02``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http description 'bind app listen on 443 port'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http mode 'tcp'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http port '80'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 10 domain-name 'node1.example.com'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 10 set backend 'bk-api-01'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 20 domain-name 'node2.example.com'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http rule 20 set backend 'bk-api-02'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 description 'My API-1'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 mode 'tcp'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 server api01 address '127.0.0.1'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-01 server api01 port '4431'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 description 'My API-2'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 mode 'tcp'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 server api01 address '127.0.0.2'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-api-02 server api01 port '4432'
-
-
-Terminate SSL
--------------
-
-The following configuration terminates SSL on the router.
-
-The ``http`` service listens on port 80 and redirects HTTP requests to
-HTTPS.
-
-The ``https`` service listens on port 443 with the ``bk-default`` backend
-and handles HTTPS traffic using the ``cert`` certificate for SSL termination.
-The HSTS header is set with a 1-year expiry to tell browsers to always use
-SSL for the site.
-
-Rule 10 matches requests with the exact URL path ``/.well-known/xxx`` and
-redirects them to ``/certs/``.
-
-Rule 20 matches requests with URL paths ending in ``/mail`` or the exact
-path ``/email/bar`` and redirects them to ``/postfix/``.
-
-Global parameters include a maximum connection limit of 4000 and a minimum
-TLS version of 1.3.
-
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http description 'Force redirect to HTTPS'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http port '80'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service http redirect-http-to-https
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https backend 'bk-default'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https description 'listen on 443 port'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https mode 'http'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https port '443'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https ssl certificate 'cert'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https http-response-headers Strict-Transport-Security value 'max-age=31536000'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 10 url-path exact '/.well-known/xxx'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 10 set redirect-location '/certs/'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 20 url-path end '/mail'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 20 url-path exact '/email/bar'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https rule 20 set redirect-location '/postfix/'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default description 'Default backend'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default mode 'http'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default server sr01 address '192.0.2.23'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-default server sr01 port '80'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy global-parameters max-connections '4000'
-    set load-balancing haproxy global-parameters tls-version-min '1.3'
-
-
-SSL Bridging
--------------
-
-The following configuration terminates incoming HTTPS traffic on the router,
-then re-encrypts the traffic and sends it to the backend server via HTTPS.
-Use this when encryption is required for both paths but you do not want to
-install publicly trusted certificates on each backend server.
-
-Backend service certificates are checked against the certificate authority
-specified in the configuration, which could be an internal CA.
-
-The ``https`` service listens on port 443 with backend ``bk-bridge-ssl`` to
-handle HTTPS traffic. It uses certificate named ``cert`` for SSL termination.
-
-The ``bk-bridge-ssl`` backend connects to ``sr01`` server on port 443 via HTTPS
-and checks backend server has a valid certificate trusted by CA ``cacert``
-
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https backend 'bk-bridge-ssl'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https description 'listen on 443 port'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https mode 'http'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https port '443'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service https ssl certificate 'cert'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl description 'SSL backend'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl mode 'http'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl ssl ca-certificate 'cacert'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl server sr01 address '192.0.2.23'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-bridge-ssl server sr01 port '443'
-
-
-Balancing with HTTP health checks
----------------------------------
-
-This configuration enables HTTP health checks for backend servers.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api backend 'bk-01'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api mode 'tcp'
-    set load-balancing haproxy service my-tcp-api port '8888'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 balance 'round-robin'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 mode 'tcp'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 http-check method 'get'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 http-check uri '/health'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 http-check expect 'status 200'
-
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 address '192.0.2.11'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 port '8881'
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv01 check
-    set load-balancing haproxy backend bk-01 server srv02 address '192.0.2.12'

-WAN load balancing
-##################
-
-.. TODO:: Convert raw command blocks in this file to cfgcmd/opcmd
-   directives for command coverage tracking.
-
-The load balancer distributes outbound traffic across two or more
-interfaces. If a path fails, the load balancer balances traffic across the
-remaining healthy paths. When a path recovers, it is automatically added back
-to the routing table. The load balancer adds routes for each path and
-distributes traffic based on interface health and weight.
-
-
-In a minimal configuration, the following must be provided:
-
- * An interface with a ``nexthop``.
- * One rule with a LAN (inbound-interface) and the WAN (interface).
-
-The following examples uses two DHCP WAN interfaces and one LAN (``eth2``):
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan interface-health eth0 nexthop 'dhcp'
-    set load-balancing wan interface-health eth1 nexthop 'dhcp'
-    set load-balancing wan rule 1 inbound-interface 'eth2'
-    set load-balancing wan rule 1 interface eth0
-    set load-balancing wan rule 1 interface eth1
-
-.. note::
-
-    Do not use WAN load balancing with dynamic routing protocols. This
-    feature creates customized routing tables and firewall rules that are
-    incompatible with routing protocols.
-
-Load balancing rules
---------------------
-
-You define interfaces, their weight, and the traffic type to balance in
-numbered rule sets. The load balancer executes rules in numerical order
-against outgoing packets. When a packet matches a rule, it is sent through the
-specified interface. Packets that do not match any rule use the system routing
-table. You cannot change rule numbers.
-
-Create a load balancing rule, it can be a number between 1 and 9999:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    vyos@vyos# set load-balancing wan rule 1
-    Possible completions:
-    description             Description for this rule
-    > destination           Destination
-    exclude                 Exclude packets matching this rule from wan load balance
-    failover                Enable failover for packets matching this rule from wan load balance
-    inbound-interface       Inbound interface name (e.g., "eth0") [REQUIRED]
-    +> interface            Interface name [REQUIRED]
-    > limit                 Enable packet limit for this rule
-    per-packet-balancing    Option to match traffic per-packet instead of the default, per-flow
-    protocol                Protocol to match
-    > source                Source information
-
-Interface weight
-****************
-
-By default, the load balancer distributes outbound
-traffic randomly across available interfaces. You can assign weights to
-interfaces to influence the distribution. If ``eth0`` has more bandwidth
-than ``eth1``, you can assign a higher weight to ``eth0`` to send more
-traffic through it:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan rule 1 interface eth0 weight 2
-    set load-balancing wan rule 1 interface eth1 weight 1
-
-In this example,``eth0`` receives 66% of traffic, and ``eth1`` receives
-33% of traffic.
-
-Rate limit
-**********
-
-Set a packet rate limit for a rule to apply it to traffic above or below a
-specified threshold. To configure rate limiting, use:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan rule <rule> limit <parameter>
-
-* ``burst``: Number of packets allowed to overshoot the limit within ``period``.
-  Default 5.
-* ``period``: Time window for rate calculation. Possible values:
-  ``second`` (one second), ``minute`` (one minute), ``hour`` (one hour).
-  Default is ``second``.
-* ``rate``: Number of packets. Default: ``5``.
-* ``threshold``: ``below`` or ``above`` the specified rate limit.
-
-Flow and packet-based balancing

-The load balancer balances outgoing traffic by flow. A connection tracking
-table tracks flows by source address, destination address, and port. Each
-flow is assigned to an interface based on the balancing rules, and subsequent
-packets use the same interface. This ensures packets arrive in order when links
-have different speeds.
-
-Packet-based balancing can improve balance across interfaces when packet
-order is not critical. Enable per-packet balancing for a rule with:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan rule <rule> per-packet-balancing
-
-Exclude traffic
-***************
-
-To exclude traffic from load balancing, traffic matching an exclude rule
-bypasses load balancing and uses the system routing table instead:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan rule <rule> exclude
-
-
-Health checks
--------------
-
-The load balancer periodically checks the health of interfaces and paths by
-sending ICMP packets (ping) to remote destinations, performing TTL tests, or
-executing a user-defined script. If an interface fails the health check, the
-load balancer removes it from its interface pool.
-To enable health checking for an interface:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    vyos@vyos# set load-balancing wan interface-health <interface>
-    Possible completions:
-    failure-count    Failure count
-    nexthop          Outbound interface nexthop address. Can be 'dhcp or ip address' [REQUIRED]
-    success-count    Success count
-    +> test          Rule number
-
-Specify the nexthop on the path to the destination. You can set
-``ipv4-address`` to ``dhcp``.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan interface-health <interface> nexthop <ipv4-address>
-
-Set the number of health check failures before the load balancer marks an
-interface as unavailable (range 1-10, default 1). Or set the number of
-successful health checks before adding an interface back to the pool
-(range 1-10, default 1).
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan interface-health <interface> failure-count <number>
-    set load-balancing wan interface-health <interface> success-count <number>
-
-Configure each health check in its own test. Tests are numbered and processed
-in numeric order. You can define multiple tests for multi-target health
-checking:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    vyos@vyos# set load-balancing wan interface-health eth1 test 0
-    Possible completions:
-    resp-time    Ping response time (seconds)
-    target       Health target address
-    test-script  Path to user defined script
-    ttl-limit    Ttl limit (hop count)
-    type         WLB test type
-
-* ``resp-time``: The maximum response time for ping in seconds. Range
-  1-30, default ``5``.
-* ``target``: The target to receive ICMP packets. The address can be an IPv4
-  address or hostname.
-* ``test-script``: A user-defined script must return 0 to succeed and
-  non-zero to fail. Scripts reside in ``/config/scripts``. For other locations,
-  provide the full path.
-* ``ttl-limit``: For the UDP TTL limit test, specify the hop count limit.
-  The limit must be shorter than the path length. The test succeeds when an
-  ICMP time-expired message is returned. Default ``1``.
-* ``type``: Specify the test type: ``ping``, ``ttl``, or a user-defined
-  script.
-
-Source NAT rules
-----------------
-
-By default, interfaces in a load balancing pool replace the source IP of
-each outgoing packet with their own address to ensure replies arrive on the
-same interface. The load balancer handles this through automatically generated
-Source NAT (SNAT) rules applied only to balanced traffic. To disable the
-automatic generation of SNAT rules when this behavior is not desired, use:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan disable-source-nat
-
-Sticky connections
-------------------
-Inbound connections to a WAN interface can be improperly handled when
-replies are sent back to the client.
-
-.. image:: /_static/images/sticky-connections.*
-   :width: 80%
-   :align: center
-
-
-When responding to an incoming packet, you may want to ensure the response
-leaves from the same interface as the incoming packet. Enable sticky
-connections in the load balancer to do this:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan sticky-connections inbound
-
-Failover
---------
-
-In failover mode, one interface is primary and other interfaces are
-secondary or spare. The load balancer uses only the primary interface. If it
-fails, a secondary interface from the available pool takes over. The load
-balancer selects the primary interface based on its weight and health. Other
-interfaces become secondary. Secondary interfaces are chosen based on their
-weight and health. You can also select interface roles based on rule order by
-including interfaces in balancing rules and ordering those rules accordingly.
-To enable failover mode, create a failover rule:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan rule <number> failover
-
-Existing sessions do not automatically fail over to a new path. Flush the
-session table on each connection state change to enable failover:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan flush-connections
-
-.. warning::
-
-    Flushing the session table causes other connections to revert from
-    flow-based to packet-based balancing until each flow is reestablished.
-
-Script execution
-----------------
-
-Run a script when an interface state changes. Scripts run from the
-``/config/scripts`` directory. To use a script in another location,
-specify the full path:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    set load-balancing wan hook script-name
-
-Two environment variables are available:
-
-* ``WLB_INTERFACE_NAME=[interfacename]``: Interface to be monitored
-* ``WLB_INTERFACE_STATE=[ACTIVE|FAILED]``: Interface state
-
-.. warning::
-
-    Blocking call with no timeout: VyOS becomes unresponsive if the
-    script does not return. 
-
-Handling and monitoring
------------------------
-
-
-The following command shows WAN load balancer information including test
-types and targets. The character at the start of each line indicates the test
-state:
-
-* ``+`` successful.
-* ``-`` failed.
-* A blank indicates that no test has been carried out.
-
-.. code-block:: none
