chore(swap): remove canary md-*.md files and docs/superpowers
- Remove 115 canary md-*.md files (incremental swap helpers no longer needed)
- Remove 8 files under docs/superpowers (project planning/design docs that
shouldn't ship in the documentation tree)

Avoid partial configurations: a sequence of commands is - easy to paste and a complete configuration is easy to load, but a partial - config is hard to reconstruct. -- Describe the expected behavior and how it differs from what you observe. - Include command outputs or traffic dumps. Explain briefly why these outputs - are incorrect and what the correct behavior should be. -- A sequence of actions that trigger the bug. While not always possible, this - helps developers and community members confirm the issue and verify fixes. -- If the bug is a regression, specify the VyOS version where the feature worked - correctly (any working version is acceptable). Identify the exact version - that the feature stopped working, if possible. - -If you are uncertain whether the behavior is a bug or what the correct behavior -is, or if you lack a reliable reproducing procedure, post on the forum or ask in -chat first.

Maintainers may not have experience with every feature, - protocol, and tool in VyOS. Detailed information helps VyOS contributors and - maintainers test new features they are unfamiliar with. -- Include proposed CLI syntax if the feature requires new commands. Provide both - configuration and operational mode commands if both are needed. - -Consider including the following information: - -- Is the feature already supported by the underlying component - (FreeRangeRouting, nftables, Kea, etc.)? -- How would you configure the feature manually within that component? -- Are there any limitations to using the feature - (hardware support, resource usage)? -- Are there any adverse or non-obvious interactions with other features? Should - the feature be mutually exclusive? -- Any relevant documentation or references about the feature. - -You do not need to provide all this information, but if you can, it simplifies -developers' work considerably. Research these questions when possible. - -## Task auto-closing - -A special task status exists for when all work by maintainers and contributors -is complete: **Needs reporter action**. - -VyOS assigns this status to: - -- Feature requests that do not include required information and need - clarification. -- Bug reports that lack reproducing procedures. -- Tasks that are implemented and tested by the implementation author, - but require testing in the real-world environment that only the reporter - can replicate (for example, hardware VyOS does not support or specific - network conditions). - -When a task is set to **Needs reporter action**: - -- If the reporter does not respond within two weeks, the task bot adds a comment - ("Any news?") to remind the reporter. -- If there is still no response after another two weeks, - the task is closed automatically. - -We do not auto-close tasks with any other status and do not close tasks due to -lack of maintainer activity. - -[documentation]: https://docs.vyos.io -[forum]: https://forum.vyos.io -[slack]: https://slack.vyos.io |
