A full audit of the doc set (staleness vs code, coverage, navigation — every finding verified against the code) followed by the fixes. Five commits, each independently reviewable:

1. Staleness fixes (9e3beadc)

Every claim that no longer matched the code:

  • architecture.md: the initialization/runtime flows and verification tables depicted the removed in-pod SPIFFE Helper and Client Registration sidecars — rewritten to the current truth (SVIDs in-process via core/spiffe; registration in the operator). proxy-init described as envoy-sidecar-only in four places — it is always-injected (egress guard in proxy-sidecar/lite). Retired "AuthProxy" name dropped.
  • Phantom After/Claims feature documented in framework-architecture.md and cmd/agentop/README.md, including a changelog entry for a ClaimAuthorizationHeader mutex none of which is in the tree — replaced with the real three fields (Requires, RequiresAny, RequiresLater, which was itself undocumented).
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: prescribed lowercase feat:/fix: PR titles, which the CI title check rejects — now documents the capitalized-prefix rule. "Rossoctl Extensions" → Cortex.
  • plugin-catalog.md: claimed the OpenAI Responses API "is not parsed" — it shipped 2026-10-06 (inferenceparser/dialect.go).
  • cmd/README.md: stats.stats_address → stats.address (the yaml key; the documented spelling was silently ignored).
  • litellm-budget-track-plugin.md referenced three nonexistent programs (rossoctl authbridge exec, cortex.py, rossoctlx.py); token-broker-plugin.md's Files table had five dead paths and its example contradicted its own one-or-the-other rule; plus smaller fixes across 16 files.

2. Restructure (1c249738)

  • Every plugin now has its own reference doc — ten that lived only in the catalog get docs/<name>-plugin.md; static-inject's and the credential-placeholder-swap's reference material moves out of plugin-reference.md. plugin-catalog.md becomes a true index (573 → 244 lines). litellm-budgettrack-plugin.md renamed to match the plugin's name.
  • The four agent-routing guides move out of cmd/agentop/README.md (1,961 → 1,554 lines) into docs/agents/ alongside the existing claude-code/codex/opencode guides. The roadmap section is gone; the t and o keys — implemented and in the in-app help but missing from the README — are now in its keybindings table.

3. Missing operator references (86f9d8f5)

The Kubernetes-operator persona depended on CLAUDE.md, which no user reads:

  • New docs/session-api.md — the complete session-events API reference (endpoints incl. SSE, event schema, action vocabulary), previously scattered in fragments.
  • mTLS operator config (per-mode tables, envoy-sidecar filter chains, reload boundary) into framework-architecture.md §8a; kubernetes.md no longer links users to CLAUDE.md.
  • Config rows that existed nowhere user-facing: all seven tls_bridge: fields, the spiffe: block, listener.skip_hosts, listener.roles + interception keys, operator-side session: limits.
  • docs/README.md rebuilt as a complete index grouped by audience — it previously covered 10 of 23 docs and was linked from nowhere; the root README now links it.

Review rounds

  • a1739c84 — CI caught that the opencode section's replacement stub dropped the failed-restart sentence TestOpenCodeDocs_AFailedRestartNamesTheCommandAgentopPrints pins. Restored; full agentop suite passes.
  • 5dd9ac8a — review must-fixes: CONTRIBUTING's quarantine step reordered to run while ./agentop still names the binary; litellm-budget-track's config error and comment now name the renamed doc (pinned by the new TestConfigErrorNamesExistingDoc, red on the pre-fix string); "two dialects" → three.
  • 81978e20 — final-review must-fixes: the PR-title case-sensitivity claim was inverted (the check sets prefix_case_sensitive: false and release_notes.sh lowercases before matching — pinned by its own test; CLAUDE.md's identical claim corrected too); session-api.md's promptContext example now shows the wire object {tokens, stated, at, msgs} (pinned by TestDocExamplePromptContextMatchesWire, red on the bare number); token-exchange-plugin.md's resolve-order claim now states the real mechanism (lookup before the route match; the resolved token feeds the exchange only, never the forwarded headers).

Verification

  • All 466 relative links and anchors verified resolving (grep + GitHub-style slug matching over every non-superpowers markdown file); the one checker hit is Go code inside a fence, not a link.
  • Every factual fix was verified against the code it cites (each commit message names the evidence).
  • pre-commit clean on all changed files. Rounds 1–3 are docs-only; 5dd9ac8a also touches core/plugins/litellm_budgettrack (error string + test — package tests, vet and gofmt clean).
  • The tls_bridge reload note documents the measured behavior precisely: the reloader accepts the edit while the running bridge keeps its startup settings (core/reloader/reloader.go:validateReloadable guards mode/listener.*/cost_ledger.*/session.*/mtls.* but not tls_bridge.*).

Deferred

Suggestions and nits from the review, deliberately not folded into this PR:

  • static-inject-plugin.md: config table omits inject_header (extraction merge failed silently); prose frames Authorization as always.
  • session-api.md: omits GET /v1/usage and ?view=summary; proxy_error scope should include 413 request-body overflows.
  • session-dump.md (3 places) and cmd/README.md:36-40 still point readers at CLAUDE.md for content now in session-api.md.
  • inference-parser-plugin.md: body gate should name the Responses dialect's input gate; the no-rate case's "record still carries token counts" claim is wrong (cost.go:100).
  • token-exchange-plugin.md: default_policy: exchange trailing clause inverts the no-route condition; "Supports Keycloak, Entra ID, Okta" — only Keycloak is registered.
  • "nine variables" stated unconditionally in three places (drops to five before first start).
  • plugin-tutorial.md step 1's YAML fails on stock builds (build-tagged import arrives in step 6).
  • cmd/README.md: reverse_proxy_backend rule omits the transparent-interception exemption; opa-plugin.md's include default isn't lean/empty (mcp.params.name/uri always on).
  • token-broker-plugin.md: "use one or the other" overstates — both on a chain degrades rather than fails.
  • plugin-reference.md: RequiresLater section omits the duplicate-name first-occurrence rule; jwt-validation-plugin.md's audience-required rule mirrors the code's own description but allowed_audiences-alone may be valid.
  • Polish: heading-level skips (static-inject, framework-architecture), "group sessions into sessions" typo in the index, double trailing newlines in the three new agent guides, "Only cmd/cortex wires mTLS" (cpex does too), quarantine bullet names only agentop though cortex ships the same way.
  • Round 3: doc_endpoints_test.go is one-directional (catches doc-omitted routes, not doc-listed unregistered ones) and hardcodes server.go as the registration site; the plugin's in-code Description ("response header or priced token usage") still names the header, rendered by /v1/plugins and the Catalog pane.
  • Final-review round: litellm-budget-track-plugin.md "only cost-tracking mechanism" overstatement; token-broker-plugin.md "Returns 502" row (broker status passes through); plugin-reference.md "Both are chain-scoped" leftover; session-api.md denial-status list understated (403/429/504) and invocations both-arrays rendering; framework-architecture.md client_affinity default "(auto)" (it is a *bool, nil = on, pins by User-Agent) and the mTLS "cert paths default to" phrasing; catalog-pane mock's single-dep rendering; CLAUDE.md's directory-tree line for plugin-catalog.md; pre-existing litellm claims ("written atomically", "quantizes to micros", "streamed contributes 0"); token-exchange-plugin.md's adjacent "mint on, resolve off → deny" overstatement (deny only on routed hosts) and "used only by the exchange" precision (also the cache key and delegation-hop record); the doc-example test's first-occurrence regex anchoring.
  • Outside this diff: dependabot.yml's stale proxy-init label, demos/hr-cpex/k8s/30-agent.yaml's silently-ignored stats_address, pre-existing litellm-budgettrack comments in forwardproxy.
  • The spellcheck workflow is disabled (if: false), so no wordlist pass was needed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guides for agent integrations, prebuilt binaries, proxy-sidecar settings, TLS bridging, session events, pricing, and plugin configuration.
    • Expanded plugin references for inference routing, credential handling, token exchange, telemetry, context compaction, and supported inference APIs.
    • Documented Session Events API endpoints, paging, archiving, deletion, and usage reporting.
    • Reorganized the documentation index and updated links and examples to reflect current Cortex terminology and configuration.
    • Clarified startup behavior, plugin ordering, listener settings, and service restart requirements.

Corrects every claim that no longer matches the code, verified
against it:

- architecture.md: the initialization/runtime flows and verification
  tables no longer depict the removed in-pod SPIFFE Helper and Client
  Registration sidecars (SVIDs are fetched in-process by core/spiffe;
  registration runs in the operator). proxy-init is described as
  always-injected (egress guard in proxy-sidecar/lite), not
  envoy-sidecar-only. Retired 'AuthProxy' name dropped.
- framework-architecture.md, plugin-reference.md, cmd/agentop/README.md:
  the After/Claims relationship fields and the ClaimAuthorizationHeader
  changelog entry describe a feature that is not in the tree — replaced
  with the real three fields (Requires, RequiresAny, RequiresLater).
  on_error is documented as shipped, not 'future'. §11 open questions
  that contradict shipped body-mutation behavior deleted. Stale
  cmd/authbridge paths fixed.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: PR titles must use capitalized prefixes (lowercase
  feat:/fix: fail the CI title check); five Go CI jobs, not four;
  'Rossoctl Extensions' renamed to Cortex.
- plugin-catalog.md: the OpenAI Responses API IS parsed (shipped
  2026-10-06); dialects sentence corrected.
- cmd/README.md: stats.address, not stats.stats_address.
- litellm-budgettrack-plugin.md: references to the nonexistent
  rossoctl authbridge exec / cortex.py / rossoctlx.py removed.
- token-broker-plugin.md: Files table points at the real package
  layout; same-chain example no longer contradicts its own guidance.
- Smaller fixes: seven env variables not three (laptop-token-savings),
  real release tag (laptop-service), plugin directory convention
  (plugin-tutorial), extension categories (plugin-reference),
  orphaned MCP-parser demo section (demos/README), lineage image
  claims (deploy/lineage-attach), cmd/authbridge-* (core/README).

Moved 'Download prebuilt binaries' from architecture.md to
CONTRIBUTING.md (with the demo list replaced by a pointer to
demos/README.md) so the architecture doc is about architecture.

- Every plugin now has its own reference doc. Ten plugins that lived
  only in the catalog (a2a-parser, context-guru, inference-parser,
  inference-router, jwt-validation, lineage-telemetry, mcp-parser,
  opa, static-inject, token-exchange) get docs/<name>-plugin.md;
  static-inject's and the credential-placeholder-swap's reference
  material moves out of plugin-reference.md into their plugin docs.
  plugin-catalog.md becomes a true index (573 -> 244 lines): one
  summary section per plugin, config detail in the plugin's own file.
- litellm-budgettrack-plugin.md renamed to litellm-budget-track-plugin.md
  to match the plugin's name everywhere else.
- The four agent-routing guides move out of cmd/agentop/README.md
  (1,961 -> 1,554 lines) into docs/agents/ alongside the existing
  claude-code/codex/opencode guides: any-agent.md (agentop exec),
  bob.md, bobshell.md; the README keeps the commands and links out.
  The root README's agent table points at the guides.
- 'Deferred to later PRs' roadmap section removed from the agentop
  README; t (live tail) and o (load older page) added to its
  keybindings table — both were implemented and in the in-app help
  but missing from the README.
- core/plugins/README.md's table refreshed to all 17 plugins with a
  current inference-parser description.
- 'Download prebuilt binaries' moved from architecture.md to
  CONTRIBUTING.md; architecture.md's demo list replaced by a pointer
  to demos/README.md.

All 423 relative links and anchors verified resolving.

The Kubernetes-operator persona was the one that depended on
CLAUDE.md — AI-assistant context no user reads. This closes those
gaps in the user docs:

- New docs/session-api.md: the complete session-events API reference
  — endpoints (incl. the SSE stream and DELETE guards), paging,
  archive behavior, the event schema field by field, and the
  5-value invocation action vocabulary. Linked from session-dump,
  pricing and the agentop README, which held fragments of it.
- mTLS operator configuration (per-mode inbound/outbound tables,
  trust model, reload boundary, envoy-sidecar filter chains incl.
  the no-in-tree-verification caveat) added to framework-
  architecture.md §8a; docs/kubernetes.md no longer links users to
  CLAUDE.md.
- Config reference rows that existed nowhere user-facing:
  - tls_bridge: all seven fields (laptop-service.md), with the
    precise reload behavior — an edit is accepted by the reloader
    but the running bridge keeps its startup settings.
  - spiffe: socket / mirror_files / mirror_dir (architecture.md).
  - listener.skip_hosts (framework-architecture.md), with the
    bypass-means-bypass warning.
  - listener.roles, inbound_interception, transparent listener
    addresses (cmd/README.md).
  - session: ttl / max_events / max_sessions / id_headers /
    client_affinity / process_attribution (framework-architecture.md).
- docs/README.md rebuilt as a complete index grouped by audience
  (laptop / Kubernetes / plugins / operator reference), covering
  every doc including agents/ and the new per-plugin files; the
  config-section table now points at docs that actually hold the
  content, and the self-confessed gaps paragraph is gone. The root
  README links the index, which was previously reachable from
  nowhere.

All 465 relative links and anchors verified resolving.

- Drop the table one-liner intro from the ten new plugin docs: it
  duplicated the section's own first paragraph (and context-guru's
  had leaked a table cell from extraction).
- bobshell.md points at bob.md for the editor's settings.json
  instead of 'below', which no longer follows in a standalone file;
  static-inject likewise drops a 'below' for the placeholder-swap
  section that now lives in token-exchange-plugin.md.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @cmd/agentop/README.md:
- Line 237: Qualify the documented nine-variable counts to account for
environments without bundle.crt, where execEnv omits the four replacing CA
variables and --print outputs a smaller map; update cmd/agentop/README.md lines
237 and 242 and docs/agents/any-agent.md lines 27-28 and 78-79 to describe the
conditional counts accurately.

Review comments at @cmd/README.md:
- Around line 78-79: Update the `reverse_proxy_backend` documentation to state
it is required only when the reverse role uses `reverse-proxy` interception;
clarify that transparent interception derives its destination from
`SO_ORIGINAL_DST`.

Review comments at @CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Line 223: Update the installation instructions around `sudo mv` so the macOS
quarantine-removal or signing step runs before either binary is moved. Apply the
same step to both `agentop` and `cortex`, using each binary’s correct path.

Review comments at @docs/agents/any-agent.md:
- Line 112: Normalize the end of each listed file so it ends with exactly one
newline: docs/agents/any-agent.md (line 112), docs/agents/bob.md (line 137), and
docs/agents/bobshell.md (line 147).

Review comments at @docs/framework-architecture.md:
- Line 887: Change the “Skipping infrastructure hosts (`listener.skip_hosts`)”
heading from level four to level three so it follows the `## 9. Config
hot-reload` section in the document outline.

Review comments at @docs/inference-parser-plugin.md:
- Around line 27-30: Update the record-publication description to distinguish
stored settlement state from a published cost record: explain that publication
requires a priced figure, prompt figure, rejection reason, or avoided cost, and
that a usable x-litellm-response-cost header may supply a price without a model
rate. Clarify that unpricedBy can identify an endpoint/model independently when
neither a published record nor usage-rate fallback provides a price, while
preserving the absent-versus-$0.00 distinction.

Review comments at @docs/laptop-service.md:
- Around line 415-417: Update the restart guidance near the `tls_bridge:`
configuration notes to distinguish laptop and cluster actions: keep `agentop
service restart` for laptops, and direct cluster users to restart the workload
that owns the AuthBridge sidecar using its controller-specific rollout or
recreation command.

Review comments at @docs/plugin-reference.md:
- Around line 285-286: Update the RequiresLater validation to resolve
dependencies against a matching plugin occurrence at a higher index, rather than
only the first occurrence recorded for each name; preserve the documented
behavior that duplicate entries create independent instances.

Review comments at @docs/plugin-tutorial.md:
- Around line 27-28: Add a step to the plugin tutorial before the YAML example
showing that each binary must use a build-tagged side-effect import for the
hellolog package so its init registers hello-log and plugins.Build can find it;
align the guidance with the requirement in core/plugins/README.md.

Review comments at @docs/README.md:
- Line 12: Update the laptop-service guide description in the README table to
replace the self-referential “group sessions into sessions” wording with a clear
description such as “understand session grouping.”

Review comments at @docs/session-api.md:
- Around line 156-166: Update the error-contract wording in the request-level
context documentation: describe `error.message` as omitting the request URL
without claiming it always names the address, limit `upstream_tls` to typed TLS
certificate and peer-alert failures, and document that `proxy_error` covers
oversized response bodies (502) and request bodies (413).

Review comments at @docs/static-inject-plugin.md:
- Line 22: Update the Config and Fail-closed headings in the document to H2,
keeping them as sibling sections beneath the H1 title.
- Around line 24-31: Add an `inject_header` entry to the configuration table
near `placeholder`, documenting its string type, optional status, and
`Authorization` default. State that `Authorization` uses the Bearer scheme,
other headers receive the raw credential, and the inbound `Authorization` header
is removed.

Review comments at @docs/token-broker-plugin.md:
- Around line 121-123: Update the Token Broker composition guidance to explain
that it can share an outbound pipeline with `token-exchange` when route sets are
disjoint and unmatched routes pass through. Clarify that overlapping routes
require choosing one plugin for those hosts or documenting an explicit plugin
order because both can replace the outbound `Authorization` header.

When bundle.crt is absent, execEnv omits the four replacing CA variables. --print then serializes the smaller environment map rather than nine export lines.

Clarify when reverse_proxy_backend is required.

The current wording can imply that transparent interception needs a configured backend. The validator does not require one in that mode because it derives the destination from SO_ORIGINAL_DST.

State that the backend is required only when the reverse role uses reverse-proxy interception. The configuration contract confirms this exception (core/config/validate.go:90-131; core/config/config.go:786-843).

Suggested wording
-  `reverse_proxy_backend` is required only when
-  the reverse role is active. Ignored outside proxy-sidecar mode.

A change to `session.enabled`, `cost_ledger.enabled`, `stats.address`, `listener.session_api_addr`, or the reloader's own knobs (drain window, debounce) requires a pod restart. `session.*`, `cost_ledger.*`, `listener.*` and `mtls.*` are refused outright, per the table above; `stats.address` and the reloader's own knobs are read once at construction, so an edit there is simply not seen.

- `identity`, `host`, `statusCode`, `error`, `durationMs` — request-level
context. **A 502 here is not always the upstream's answer:** when the
exchange with the upstream fails — timeout, refusal, DNS, TLS, a body that
breaks off mid-read — the proxy synthesizes the 502 itself, with `error.kind`
saying which (`upstream_timeout`, `upstream_refused`, `upstream_dns`,
`upstream_tls`, else `upstream_error`) and `error.message` naming the address
but never the request URL, whose query string can carry an API key.
`error.kind: "proxy_error"` is the one that is the proxy's own: a response
over the listener's body-size cap. A 499 with `error.kind: "client_canceled"`
is the client hanging up first — since neither proxy times out a slow
upstream, that is how a hung one usually ends.

Correct the documented error contract.

The JSON field names and SSE encoding match the implementation. The error descriptions need narrower wording:

  • error.message omits the request URL, but it does not always name the address.
  • Only typed TLS certificate and peer-alert failures use upstream_tls; other TLS failures can use upstream_error.
  • proxy_error also covers oversized request bodies, which produce 413, not only oversized response bodies.
Suggested documentation fix
-  `error.kind` saying which (`upstream_timeout`, `upstream_refused`, `upstream_dns`,
-  `upstream_tls`, else `upstream_error`) and `error.message` naming the address
-  but never the request URL, whose query string can carry an API key.

+  carry an API key. `error.kind: "proxy_error"` identifies a proxy-enforced

Document route overlap and ordering constraints.

token-broker continues when the host is not a broker route. token-exchange also passes through unmatched routes when its default policy is passthrough. Both plugins can therefore share a pipeline when their route sets are disjoint. Overlapping routes require explicit ordering or a single plugin for those hosts.

Check every documented promptContext field.

The documented object contains tokens, stated, at, and msgs, and pipeline.PromptContext declares all four JSON tags. The test only asserts Tokens. Add literal-key checks for all four fields, then retain the typed unmarshal to validate their values. A missing or misspelled key must fail the test.

Describe normal route handling, not guaranteed exchange.

A non-placeholder bearer can follow the default passthrough policy when no route matches, so it does not always run an exchange. State that it continues through normal route and default_policy handling. The supplied core/plugins/tokenexchange/plugin.go context shows the unmatched-route passthrough branch.

Fixes review: the promptContext doc-example test matched the file's
first occurrence, so a second one elsewhere could silently re-target
it. Review nit on text the previous round wrote; also the push that
carries it re-triggers CI, whose synchronize event for 81978e2 was
dropped (zero runs at that head, while other PRs' events ran).

Main's rossoctl#1420 extended the README's bob section with the keychain-free
CA trust; this branch had moved that section to docs/agents/bob.md.
Resolution per this PR's convention: the README keeps the command stub,
and docs/agents/bob.md carries main's full section. Also carries
main's erase-sessions (rossoctl#1422) and cpex release changes.

Verified: bob + doc-pinning tests, tui suite, sessionapi suite, vet,
gofmt, and the full 466-link check all pass on the merged tree.

Fixes review: session-api.md, positioned as the complete reference,
listed neither DELETE /v1/sessions/{id} (shipped in rossoctl#1422, folded in
by the merge after the doc was written) nor GET /v1/usage, both
registered in server.go; litellm-budget-track-plugin.md described the
pre-d6eb9efa plugin in its overview, use case, diagram, OnResponse
steps, cost-source field names (the removed *_cost_per_token knobs and
their cache-default rule) and consumers paragraph - the plugin loads
the record inference-parser settles, holds no rates and resolves no
headers, per its own package doc; the catalog's provider-specific
paragraph claimed no cost accumulates without LiteLLM's header, but
inference-parser prices token usage from the pricing table.

TestDocCoversEveryRegisteredRoute pins the endpoint rule by matching
server.go's registered routes against the doc; it failed on both
missing routes before the fix.

Limit “cannot tell” to proxy values the command can own.

In cmd/agentop/cmd_bob.go, bobOwns (Lines 282-334) rejects URLs with credentials, a non-root path, a query, or a fragment before checking for an empty target address. Those loopback URLs are classified as not ours, so disable leaves them alone instead of prompting. Qualify “any loopback http proxy” to the bare loopback URL shape that enable writes.

Summary

Clean docs-audit overhaul. Verified the audit's accuracy against the code at HEAD, not just internal consistency: the three hardest-to-verify claims all check out — the PR-title verifier sets prefix_case_sensitive: false and release_notes.sh lowercases before matching (so the corrected case rule is right), and core/reloader/reloader.go's validateReloadable guards mode/listener.*/cost_ledger.*/session.*/mtls.* but not tls_bridge.* (so the "reload accepted but ignored" note is accurate). Every markdown link target introduced by the diff resolves to a file present at HEAD, and the renamed litellm-budget-track-plugin.md exists while the old name is gone. The one Go change is a doc-filename correction with a well-formed regression test (TestConfigErrorNamesExistingDoc).
