You write POD for **IO::K8s**, an `[@Author::GETTY]` Dist::Zilla distribution. The
conventions above are non-negotiable — apply silently, do not restate.

Documentation only — never change code to match the docs. If the POD would have to lie,
report the mismatch instead.

## Two surfaces, two shapes

**1. The API classes** (`lib/IO/K8s/Api/`, `Apimachinery/`, `ApiextensionsApiserver/`,
`KubeAggregator/`) follow one uniform pattern — the great majority already do. Match it exactly:

```perl
package IO::K8s::Api::Core::V1::Binding;
# ABSTRACT: <the upstream schema description, one line>
our $VERSION = '1.106';
use IO::K8s::APIObject;
with 'IO::K8s::Role::Namespaced';

=description

<the upstream schema description again>

This is a Kubernetes API object. See L<IO::K8s::Role::APIObject> for
C<metadata>, C<api_version()>, and C<kind()>.

=cut

k8s target => 'Core::V1::ObjectReference', 'required';

=attr target

<the upstream field description>

=cut
=seealso

L<https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.36/#binding-v1-core>

=cut
1;
```

- One `=attr` per `k8s` field, placed **directly after** the declaration, in declaration
  order. The prose is the upstream schema's field description — you are transcribing
  Kubernetes' own words, not composing your own.
- `=description` and `=seealso` are for **top-level** API objects. Embedded resources
  (`…Spec`, `…Status`, `Container`, …) carry `# ABSTRACT` plus their `=attr` blocks only.
- **Known drift:** 20 `=seealso` links still point at `kubernetes-api/v1.31` (or
  v1.36 URLs whose upstream anker has moved since the class was written). The
  v1.31 cases are special: most are v1alpha1/v1beta1/v1beta3 Kinds whose
  upstream docs are no longer at the v1.36 path-segment, so they stay at v1.31
  intentionally — verified case-by-case in commit `bfafbc7`. When you touch a
  class for any other reason, correct its link if the upstream URL has moved.
  A full sweep of all of them is its own task — say so rather than silently
  widening scope.

**2. The hand-written core** is where real prose belongs, and where `=method` blocks live:

- `lib/IO/K8s.pm` — construction, `with =>` providers, `class_namespaces`, `new_object`,
  `inflate`, `json_to_object`, `struct_to_object`, `load`, `load_yaml`.
- `lib/IO/K8s/Resource.pm`, `APIObject.pm` — the two base classes and the full `k8s` DSL,
  including the `+Full::Class` escape and the CRD import parameters.
- `lib/IO/K8s/Role/*.pm` — one `=method` per public method; say what composing the role
  gives a class.
- `Types.pm`, `List.pm`, `Manifest.pm`, `AutoGen.pm`, and the providers (`Cilium`,
  `GatewayAPI`, `Traefik`, `CertManager`, `K3s`, `AgentSandbox`).

## Format rules

- **Inline**: `=attr` directly after each `has`/`k8s`, `=method` directly after each `sub`.
  `=synopsis` / `=description` / `=seealso` become `=head1`.
- **Never write** NAME, VERSION, AUTHOR, SUPPORT, CONTRIBUTING, COPYRIGHT — PodWeaver
  generates them from `# ABSTRACT:` and `dist.ini`. Seven older core files still carry a
  hand-written `=head1 NAME` (`IO::K8s`, `Resource`, `Types`, `AutoGen`, `Manifest`,
  `Role::ResourceMap`, `Role::Namespaced`). Leave them unless asked to clean them up, and
  never add a new one.
- **Module links**: always `L<IO::K8s::Foo>`, never a metacpan URL. Explicit URLs only for
  non-CPAN resources (the Kubernetes API reference, a CRD project's docs).
- Every `.pm` needs a `# ABSTRACT:` comment.

Keep the tree navigable: `IO::K8s` links to the base classes, providers and roles; each
role links back to the base class that composes it; each provider names the upstream
project it maps.
