CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated the E2E v2 flow documentation to match current behavior. The changes clarify hook responsibilities, lifecycle labels, platform abstraction, and process responsibilities. They replace cached HostedCluster access documentation with structured cluster-manifest exchange. The documentation now describes manifest consumption by run-tests and manifest-based teardown by destroy-guests. It also removes the obsolete CI-chain reference.

396-398: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Narrow or verify the teardown guarantee.

The supplied test/e2e/v2/cmd/destroy-guests/main.go:36-85 requires ReadManifest to succeed and reports failure when any destroy operation fails. The manifest makes teardown deterministic after it is written, but the supplied implementation does not establish idempotence or cover failures before the manifest is written. Use narrower wording, or verify the idempotence contract of hypershift destroy cluster azure before documenting this as a guarantee.

Proposed wording
-This makes teardown idempotent and independent of whether creation succeeded.
+This makes teardown deterministic and independent of whether cluster creation completes successfully after the manifest is written.

Correct the phase-parallelism note after renumbering.

create-guests performs parallel cluster creation in Phase 2. PreCreate, PostCreate, and PostAvailable are invoked synchronously in test/e2e/v2/cmd/create-guests/main.go, Lines 132-255. Update the adjacent note so it does not claim that Phases 1, 3, and 5 use internal goroutines.

Proposed wording
-    Note over CG: Single Go process, phases run sequentially.<br/>Phases 1, 3, and 5 use internal goroutines for parallelism.
+    Note over CG: Single Go process, phases run sequentially.<br/>Phase 2 uses internal goroutines to create clusters in parallel.

Document manifest consumption accurately.

destroy-guests reads the manifest and passes each recorded ClusterEntry directly to destroyCluster. It does not re-derive the entry details. The supplied code also does not establish idempotent repeated teardown. Document the confirmed guarantee: the precomputed cluster identities remain available for cleanup if creation fails after manifest writing.

Proposed wording
-- **Cluster manifest**: [`destroy-guests`][destroy-guests] re-derives cluster details
--   deterministically from the manifest written by [`create-guests`][create-guests].
--   This makes teardown idempotent and independent of whether creation succeeded.
+- **Cluster manifest**: [`destroy-guests`][destroy-guests] reads the recorded cluster
+  entries from the manifest written by [`create-guests`][create-guests] and uses them
+  for teardown. This keeps cluster identities available if creation fails after
+  manifest writing.
