Summary

Rewrites the description frontmatter on every page in the multicluster book across the two unversioned (next-release) source trees -- 20 files, 1-line replacement each. Same rule set as #2696, #2697, #2708, #2709, #2710, #2711, #2718, #2719, #2720.

Calico Open Source has no multicluster book, so this PR is CE + CC only.

Next-only on purpose. Landing on unversioned source first so descriptions can get review without pre-mirroring to versioned snapshots that would all need amending if anything changes. Mirror to published latest-version snapshots in a follow-up.

CE vs CC disambiguation

The pre-fix state had 5 literal cross-product duplicates -- aws.mdx, index.mdx, kubeconfig.mdx, overview.mdx, and services-controller.mdx shared identical descriptions between the CE federation directory and the CC multicluster directory.

Rewrites disambiguate by deployment model:

  • Calico Enterprise -- self-managed management cluster framing (self-managed management cluster, Tigera Operator, in-cluster Federated Services Controller).
  • Calico Cloud -- SaaS management plane framing (connected clusters, Calico Cloud SaaS plane).

What every new description follows

  1. Names exactly one canonical product (Calico Enterprise, Calico Cloud).
  2. <= 200 characters.
  3. Action-led on procedural pages; noun-led on reference and overview pages per the docs-frontmatter-description skill's content-type rules.
  4. No enable, disable, or teaching.
  5. Unique across products.
  6. No colons in the description value.
  7. Vale-clean on line 2 (frontmatter description line) -- includes no possessives (GKE's), no walks through, no allowlist(ing), and Tigera Operator capitalized correctly.

Pre-fix violations across the 20 files

  • 0 forbidden-word hits (enable/disable/teaching).
  • 0 descriptions over 200 chars.
  • 0 colons.
  • 0 walks through, possessive, or allowlist hits.
  • 5 literal cross-product duplicates between calico-enterprise/multicluster/federation/* and calico-cloud/multicluster/* (aws, index, kubeconfig, overview, services-controller).
  • 2 Vale line-2 issues introduced during a first-pass rewrite (kubeconfigs plural) -- rephrased to per-cluster kubeconfig credentials.

Verification

Run from repo root on this branch:

grep -nEri "^description:.*\b(enable|disable|teaching)\b" \
  calico-enterprise/multicluster calico-cloud/multicluster

Length, canonical-name presence, and cross-product-uniqueness checks are equivalent one-liners over the same two directories. All return empty post-fix.

Vale on changed files, filtered to line-2 issues, returns empty:

git diff upstream/main --name-only | xargs scripts/vale-lint.sh --output=line 2>&1 | awk -F: '$2 == 2'

Test plan

  • Run the forbidden-word grep above and confirm empty.
  • Spot-check the 5 CE/CC duplicate pairs (aws, index, kubeconfig, overview, services-controller) for distinguishability.
  • Spot-check 5 random rewrites against page bodies for accuracy.
  • After review, mirror to latest-version snapshots in a follow-up PR.

Rewrites the description frontmatter on every page in the multicluster
book across the two unversioned next-release source trees -- 20 files,
1-line replacement each. Same rule set as the prior sibling PRs.

calico-enterprise/multicluster/ -- 15 files
calico-cloud/multicluster/      --  5 files

CE framing: self-managed management cluster, in-cluster federation
controller. CC framing: Calico Cloud SaaS management plane connecting
to managed/connected clusters.
- calico-cloud/multicluster/aws.mdx body: replaced "Calico Enterprise
  configuration" → "Calico Cloud configuration" and "Calico Enterprise
  Federated Services Controller" → "Calico Cloud Federated Services
  Controller" per @ctauchen's review comment.
- Mirrored all next-tree multicluster descriptions to:
  - calico-enterprise_versioned_docs/version-3.23-1/multicluster/ (15)
  - calico-enterprise_versioned_docs/version-3.22-2/multicluster/ (15)
  - calico-cloud_versioned_docs/version-22-2/multicluster/ (5)

35 mirror writes plus 1 body edit on the aws page. No drift either way.

The two Copilot comments on services-controller.mdx note a mismatch
between description ("Federated Services Controller" plural) and one
body sentence ("Federated Service Controller" singular). The plural
matches the API resource name (FederatedServicesController) and the
rest of the page body, so the description is left as-is; the body
inconsistency is pre-existing and out of scope here.

Vale clean on description lines.
