Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds a public self-hosted validation guide, but it is not merge-ready because the guide omits required CLI workflow sections and examples and does not require redacting user data from collected evidence. These gaps can make the guidance harder to execute safely and could expose request data in saved diagnostics. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

| ## Instructions | ||
|
|
||
| Use the smallest topology that can prove the claim. Use one cluster for basic | ||
| installation, rendering, and function lifecycle checks that do not cross a | ||
| cluster boundary. Use separate control-plane and compute-plane clusters for | ||
| worker registration, callbacks, request routing, reverse tunnels, transport | ||
| PKI, DNS, or cross-cluster endpoint changes. A single-cluster pass is | ||
| supplemental for those paths. | ||
|
|
||
| Read the [local development guide](../../../../docs/dev/local-development.md) | ||
| before creating clusters. For CLI-driven split topology, also read the | ||
| [multi-cluster CLI flow](../../../../docs/user/local-development/multi-cluster-cli.md). |

Add the required CLI skill sections and command examples.
Because this skill documents Shell/CLI-driven workflows, organize the procedure under Before You Start, Core Commands, Examples, and Additional Resources. Add concrete safe command examples. The current file has numbered procedures and links, but it does not have the required headings or command examples.
As per coding guidelines, CLI skills must include these four sections, and public skills must include step-by-step instructions, command examples, and common edge cases.

Redact user data before collecting evidence.
Bounded pod logs, events, and probes can contain full request bodies or user identifiers. The current rule excludes credentials, tokens, and private keys, but it does not require redaction of full request bodies containing user data. Add an explicit redaction or omission rule before evidence is saved or reported.
As per coding guidelines, do not log secrets, tokens, credentials, or full request bodies containing user data.

TL;DR
Require split control-plane and compute-plane validation for topology-sensitive self-hosted changes. Installation or registration success in one cluster no longer counts as proof of real worker traffic across clusters.
Additional Details
Single-cluster tests can hide failures in worker-facing DNS, callbacks, request router exposure, reverse tunnels, and PKI transport.
This change:
nvcf-self-hosted-local-devskill for topology selection, isolated environments, baseline testing before workarounds, evidence capture from both clusters, and failed-environment retention.There is no runtime, API, schema, chart, generated CLI data, or BDD scenario change.
For the Reviewer
Please focus on whether the guidance draws the topology boundary narrowly enough while preventing installation-only checks from being reported as end-to-end validation.
For QA
QA is not needed for this documentation-only change.
Validation run:
python3 ai-tooling/dev/hooks/validate-skill-fanout.pygit diff --checkRuntime BDD was not run because this change affects agent guidance only.
