description	Modifies Kubernetes-facing operator, CRD, deployment-profile, or DSL translation behavior for semantic-router platform integration. Use when changing operator APIs or controllers, deployment stack manifests, profile-owned platform wiring, or router-to-Kubernetes translation layers.

Kubernetes Platform Change

Trigger

• Change operator APIs, CRDs, or controller-facing config translation
• Change deployment-profile manifests or profile-owned platform wiring under deploy/kubernetes/**
• Change router-to-Kubernetes DSL translation or config bridging layers

Workflow

1. Read change surfaces, module boundaries, and testing strategy for the affected Kubernetes-facing surface
2. Modify the operator, deployment profile, or DSL translation behavior
3. Run make agent-report ENV=cpu CHANGED_FILES="..." to identify impacted surfaces and affected profile coverage
4. Run make agent-ci-gate CHANGED_FILES="..." to validate the affected constraints
5. Verify control-plane behavior, stack-manifest behavior, and DSL translation still describe the same platform contract

Gotchas

• Do not hide control-plane and stack-resource differences; they can change in the same loop, but they should remain explicit in the final report.
• Manifest-only edits still need profile-aware validation when they change response-api, authz, observability, or routing stack behavior.
• Router config representation debt belongs to config-platform-change; Kubernetes-facing translation and deployment ownership belong here.

Must Read

• docs/agent/change-surfaces.md
• docs/agent/module-boundaries.md
• docs/agent/testing-strategy.md

Standard Commands

• make agent-report ENV=cpu CHANGED_FILES="..."
• make agent-ci-gate CHANGED_FILES="..."
• make agent-feature-gate ENV=cpu CHANGED_FILES="..."

Acceptance

• Operator APIs, DSL translation, deployment manifests, and affected Kubernetes validation paths stay aligned
• Profile-owned resources and control-plane behavior remain explicit even when they change in the same loop
