# Execution log: proxy-operator

Pairs with [docs/plans/2026-08-07-1747-proxy-operator.md](../plans/2026-08-07-1747-proxy-operator.md).

## Step 0 — Branch and scaffold

Branched `feat/proxy-operator` off the unborn `main`, installed kubebuilder v4.15.0
via `go install`, and ran `kubebuilder init` + `kubebuilder create api` in place.

Worth noting: `--domain example.com --group crawl` landed on the correct CRD group
(`crawl.example.com`) on the first try — the doubling trap the plan called out
(`--domain crawl.example.com --group crawl` → `crawl.crawl.example.com`) was avoided
by using the right flags from the start. `CONTROLLER_TOOLS_VERSION` came out at
`v0.21.0` by default in this kubebuilder release, so no Makefile edit was needed there.
Dropped the scaffolded `.github/workflows/` since the remote is Gitea. Pre-existing
`CLAUDE.md`/`CHANGELOG.md` content survived untouched; kubebuilder added its own
`README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.golangci.yml`, `.devcontainer/`, `Dockerfile` on top —
those get edited or left as-is in later steps. `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, and
`make manifests generate` all ran clean. Committed as `076bc66`.
