feat: flip swap mechanism — MD as primary, RST as override (Phase 1)
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-<stem>.md to docs/**/<stem>.md (drop md- prefix) for all 254 stems previously listed in docs/_swap.txt - Rename docs/**/<stem>.rst to docs/**/rst-<stem>.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

-# Interface Names
-
-If you find the names of your interfaces have changed, this could be because
-your MAC addresses have changed.
-
-- For example, you have a VyOS VM with 4 Ethernet interfaces named
- eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth3. Then, you migrate your VyOS VM to a different
- host and find your interfaces now are eth4, eth5, eth6 and eth7.
-
- One way to fix this issue **taking control of the MAC addresses** is:
-
- Log into VyOS and run this command to display your interface settings.
-
- ```none
- show interfaces detail
- ```
-
- Take note of MAC addresses.
-
- Now, in order to update a MAC address in the configuration, run this command
- specifying the interface name and MAC address you want.
-
- ```none
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 hw-id 00:0c:29:da:a4:fe
- ```
-
- If it is a VM, go into the settings of the host and set the MAC address to
- the settings found in the config.boot file. You can also set the MAC to
- static if the host allows so.
-
-- Another example could be when cloning VyOS VMs in GNS3 and you get into the
- same issue: interface names have changed.
-
- And **a more generic way to fix it** is just deleting every MAC address at
- the configuration file of the cloned machine. They will be correctly
- regenerated automatically.
