+# Multus + VLAN 50 NAD + canary for VPN VLAN 50 (plan.md Phase 4/5).
+#
+# Deliberately manual sync (no syncPolicy.automated) — unlike this repo's
+# other Applications, every resource here (Multus DaemonSet, NAD, canary
+# pod) needs an explicit human go-ahead before it ever touches the
+# cluster, and staying manual means merging this file to main does NOT
+# by itself deploy anything. Use selective sync (argocd app sync multus
+# --resource <group:kind:name>, or the UI's per-resource sync) to apply
+# 00/01/02 (Multus itself), verify, then 10 (the NAD), verify, then 20
+# (the canary) only once the user has separately approved running it.
