Why this site's F5 Design System choices are what they are — the accent split, the three F5DS pairings that fail WCAG AA and their replacements, the CRD badge palette, the type scale, top-bar geometry, and every deviation with its reason. Use before changing…

Checklist for an NIC, NGF or ingress2gateway release — the three version formats a plain grep misses, the feature badges that must not be swept along, and the compatibility and Kubernetes-version rules most often missed. Use when bumping any product version.

How the nine checks work and how to add one — why the runner is Python rather than shell, the seven times a mistyped construct reported clean for a check that never ran, and the fault-injection standard. Use when adding or changing a check, or when one fails.

How to actually look at this site — shot.sh, DOM measurement, and the four facts that make a correct render command look like it failed (hash-routed SPAs, dark by default, viewport-not-page capture, the 500px macOS clamp). Use after any CSS, markup or layout…

Stand up the gateway's live integration stack and run an adaptive, AI-driven smoke test of all major gateway features, root-causing any failure to the responsible njs module, config template, or entrypoint script. Use when asked to smoke test the gateway,…
