Summary

.claude/rules/networking-design-alignment.md told Claude to read .design/context/networking-decisions.md before working on networking code. That file has never existed anywhere in this repo's git history (git log --all --full-history confirms) -- the rule was written for a consolidated decisions doc that was apparently planned but never authored.

What I found (read both named files directly, not paraphrased)

Neither of the two candidate replacement files actually lives in this repo either -- both are in separate repos:

  • enhancement-proposals/enhancements/networking/README.md -- this exact path doesn't exist, checked directly against osac-project/enhancement-proposals (including its own full git history). There is no consolidated networking EP index at all. What exists instead is a flat set of per-feature enhancements/<TICKET>-<slug>/ directories that happen to end in -networking: the current core design (OSAC-1433-unified-networking, which supersedes the older OSAC-356-networking), plus separate per-surface proposals (OSAC-1435-vmaas-networking, OSAC-1436-caas-networking, OSAC-1437-bmaas-networking, OSAC-1382-multi-fabric-east-west-networking, OSAC-1425-networking-ui-vmaas-scope, OSAC-3145-metering-networking).
  • docs/networking/setup-bpg-vrf-lite/README.md -- this one does exist, in osac-project/docs, but it's a narrow how-to lab guide for one specific advanced topology (CUDN + BGP + VRF-Lite provider-fabric integration), not general networking design background. That same docs repo also has architecture/publicip-networking.md (actual PublicIP/NATGateway design rationale) and guides/developer/networking-guide.md (end-user CLI/API usage, not design).

Fix

Reworded the rule honestly instead of swapping in a single new (still-wrong) path: it now says plainly that there's no consolidated doc, names both real repos, and points at the specific files/directories relevant to different aspects of networking work, with a note on what each one actually covers so it doesn't imply more consolidation than exists.

Test plan

  • Confirmed the dead path never existed via git log --all --full-history
  • Confirmed the ticket's proposed EP-index path also doesn't exist, in the actual enhancement-proposals repo and its full history
  • Read the real docs repo files directly to describe them accurately
  • pre-commit run passes on the changed file

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated networking guidance to point to the current design proposals and documentation.
    • Added direction for selecting relevant sources based on the resource or feature involved.

.design/context/networking-decisions.md never existed anywhere in this
repo's git history -- confirmed via git log --all --full-history. The
rule was written for a consolidated decisions doc that was apparently
planned but never authored.

Rather than swap in a single new path, reworded honestly: the real
design context is more scattered than the original rule implied,
spread across two separate repos (not this one). Checked both directly:

- osac-project/enhancement-proposals has no networking index either --
  just a flat set of per-feature enhancements/<TICKET>-<slug>/
  directories whose names happen to end in -networking.
- osac-project/docs has architecture/publicip-networking.md (design),
  networking/setup-bpg-vrf-lite/README.md (a narrow BGP/VRF-Lite
  fabric-integration lab guide, not general networking design), and
  guides/developer/networking-guide.md (end-user CLI/API usage, not
  design rationale) -- three different documents for three different
  purposes, not one file covering everything.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The networking guidance replaces a single design-context reference with distributed sources across the enhancement-proposals and docs repositories. It identifies locations for networking proposals, PublicIP/NATGateway architecture, BGP/VRF-Lite labs, and developer usage guidance.

Changes

Networking guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Distributed design-context references
.claude/rules/networking-design-alignment.md
The rule directs contributors to select relevant sources from networking proposals and documentation, including architecture and usage guides.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 6a9b6

The rule may send contributors to the wrong design source for NATGateway work, leading to inaccurate implementation guidance. The risk is localized and mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small documentation correction.

When working on networking-related tasks (Connectivity&Fabric component, networking resources like VirtualNetwork/Subnet/SecurityGroup/ExternalIP/NATGateway/NetworkClass, NICs, ports, interfaces, network attachments, VLANs, fabric/K8s managers, dispatcher, MetalLB, DNS, CIDR, DNAT/SNAT, peering, metering/QoS), be aware there is no single consolidated networking-decisions document. Design context is scattered across two separate repos, not this one:

- **`osac-project/enhancement-proposals`**: no networking index either -- each proposal lives in its own `enhancements/<TICKET>-<slug>/` directory (`prd.md` for what/why, `design.md` or `README.md` for how). Search `enhancements/` for directories ending in `-networking` to find them; as of this writing that includes `OSAC-1433-unified-networking` (current core Networking API design; supersedes the older `OSAC-356-networking`), plus `OSAC-1435-vmaas-networking`, `OSAC-1436-caas-networking`, `OSAC-1437-bmaas-networking`, `OSAC-1382-multi-fabric-east-west-networking`, `OSAC-1425-networking-ui-vmaas-scope`, and `OSAC-3145-metering-networking`.
- **`osac-project/docs`**: `architecture/publicip-networking.md` covers PublicIP/NATGateway design specifically. `networking/setup-bpg-vrf-lite/README.md` is a narrower how-to lab guide for BGP/VRF-Lite provider-fabric integration -- only relevant when touching that specific integration, not general networking API work. `guides/developer/networking-guide.md` is end-user CLI/API usage, not design rationale.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the NATGateway source description.

Line 6 says that architecture/publicip-networking.md covers NATGateway design. That document is PublicIP-specific and does not contain NATGateway content. The unified networking design uses ExternalIP and defines NATGateway separately. Direct ExternalIP and NATGateway work to OSAC-1433-unified-networking/design.md instead. As checked on August 13, 2026, the referenced repositories show this split. (github.com)

Suggested wording
-`architecture/publicip-networking.md` covers PublicIP/NATGateway design specifically.
+`architecture/publicip-networking.md` covers PublicIP design specifically. Use `OSAC-1433-unified-networking/design.md` for current ExternalIP and NATGateway design.

High

  • [protected-path] .claude/rules/networking-design-alignment.md — This PR modifies a file under the .claude/ protected path. The PR references Jira ticket OSAC-4042 but has no linked GitHub issue providing formal authorization for changes to governance/infrastructure files. The change itself is a straightforward fix replacing a dead reference (.design/context/networking-decisions.md, which never existed in this repo's history) with accurate pointers to networking design documentation in the osac-project/enhancement-proposals and osac-project/docs external repos. Human approval is required for all protected-path changes.
