Triage gates for the GitHub Copilot Code Review bot on github.com only: provenance (fork or in-repo), intake checks for fork PRs, a one-logical-change scope check with split proposals and issue drafts, and re-review churn detection when fix commits introduce…

Checklist for an NIC, NGF or ingress2gateway release, patch or minor — the three version formats a plain grep misses, the extra steps a minor (x.Y.0) brings (featured release post, new constructs, docs links), the feature badges that must not be swept along,…

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.

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…

How to actually look at this site — shot.sh, the cdp.js helper (deep-link captures, true 320px viewports, overflow and focus-obscured sweeps, forced-colors/print/zoom emulation), DOM measurement, and the four facts that make a correct render command look like…

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,…
