Summary

  • add package-local worker-hash design documentation next to the Go implementation
  • document the typed v1/v2 annotation states and rollout contract
  • isolate v1-only migration semantics from the v2 steady-state model
  • document the API-server commit boundary, idempotent retry behavior, and why no target-hash annotation is needed
  • record when v2 was introduced, became authoritative, and when normal v1 computation stopped across Dynamo 1.2-1.5

Follow-up to #12633 and #11529.

Validation

  • repository pre-commit hooks
  • git diff --check

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The Kubernetes Operator documentation now defines versioned worker-hash semantics, migration behavior, rollout handling, compatibility rules, and release history. The documentation navigation links to the new Worker Hash Semantics page.

Changes

Worker hash documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Versioned worker-hash contract and navigation
docs/fern/pages/developer-guide/knowledge-base/kubernetes/kubernetes-operator/worker-hash-semantics.md, docs/fern/pages/developer-guide/knowledge-base/kubernetes/kubernetes-operator/rolling-update.md, docs/fern/index.yml
The new page documents hash storage, annotation states, v1-to-v2 migration, rollout decisions, retry behavior, hash-input rules, and release history. The rolling-update guide documents v2 and legacy v1 identifiers and links to the contract. The navigation includes the new page.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8d855

The PR documents worker-hash behavior, but the rolling-update guide currently presents the v2 annotation without the documented v1-only migration qualification, which could briefly mislead operators during rollout. This is a bounded documentation issue and the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Add an H2 before the introduction.

Line 8 starts the page body with prose. The first section heading starts at Line 16. Add a ## Overview heading before the introduction.

Proposed fix
+## Overview

The Dynamo Operator stores versioned worker hashes on each `DynamoGraphDeployment` (DGD).

Based on learnings, Fern pages under docs/ must not use a body-level H1 and should begin content at ## or deeper.
