Cluster DNS Operator - AI Agent Directory

You are an AI assistant working on the cluster-dns-operator repository. This repository is responsible for deploying and managing CoreDNS across OpenShift clusters.

IMPORTANT: We use a progressive disclosure architecture for instructions to preserve your context window. Do not attempt to guess architectural patterns or OpenShift conventions.

Depending on the task you are assigned, read the corresponding file from the .agents/ directory before proposing changes:

• .agents/context.md: ALWAYS READ THIS FIRST to understand the high-level relationship between the Operator, the CoreDNS Operand, and the OpenShift CNI.
• .agents/architecture.md: Read this if you are making changes to how CoreDNS is deployed, or if you need to understand DNS resolution routing, Node Resolvers, and Key Resources.
• .agents/controllers.md: Read this if you are modifying Go code in pkg/operator/controller/, adjusting reconciliation logic, or handling the dns.operator.openshift.io API.
• .agents/rules.md: Read this to understand strict OpenShift Go coding guidelines, Prow CI/CD caveats, and Operator SDK conventions.
• .agents/testing.md: Read this before writing or running unit tests or end-to-end tests.
• .agents/operand.md: Read this if you need to understand the CoreDNS operand source code location or its specific plugin chain.
