docs: add the connectivity section to the 4.19.0 manual

[nikagra]

Depends on: nothing (#1154 merged; rebased onto it, so the workflow commit is gone from this PR)
Blocks: nothing

#1130 added a Connectivity section to the scylla-4.x manual, but no published version carries it, so client routes (PrivateLink / Private Service Connect) are unfindable on the docs site. This backports it to 4.19.0, which has the feature (since 4.19.0.7) with identical code and configuration.

• cherry-pick docs: add a connectivity section to the core manual #1130; the Address resolution conflict keeps docs: add a connectivity section to the core manual #1130's pointer heading, so the anchor survives
• fit it to 4.19.0: a hostname contact point is tried at its first address only (feat: try every address a contact point resolves to (DRIVER-201) #1074 is newer), and there is no subnet translator, so those claims and links go; the Fixed proxy hostname section the new pages point to is backported without the subnet part; it also carries the ScyllaDB Cloud TLS (9142, cluster CA), system.local query and client routes fixes shared with docs: add the connectivity section to the 4.18.1 manual #1144 and docs: add the connectivity section to the 4.19.2 manual #1149
• eval_rst toctree, and the client_routes / clientroutes spellings (docs: name the client_routes spellings on the client routes page #1139)
• review fix: the ScyllaDB Cloud example now enables TLS in the builder (engine factory and truststore through withConfigLoader); the truststore import comes first and passes the store password the example uses; the same change is on scylla-4.x in docs: enable TLS in the ScyllaDB Cloud connection example #1163

Verified: against driver-core 4.19.0.9, a context built from the example's loader and a truststore made with the documented keytool command gets DefaultSslEngineFactory, while the old example gets none. A recommonmark build of this branch has 0 warnings. Earlier, in a local four-version multiversion build: the three pages render in the nav, every relative link and anchor on them resolves, and the client routes page contains each epic term (client_routes, clientroutes, PL, PSC, private link, private service connection).

CI: security/snyk fails; not investigated. This PR changes no dependency declarations beyond what the 4.19.0.9 release already ships.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation adds guidance for cluster connectivity, private endpoint client routes, and VPC peering. It updates address-translation guidance to distinguish per-node endpoint mappings from a shared proxy hostname. The upgrade guide updates client-routes examples and links to the new documentation.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 92338

The truststore instructions may leave the keytool password different from the configured password123, preventing TLS setup. Keep the values aligned before merging.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 92338

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — manual (service) was modified; 5 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — upgrade_guide (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in manual/core/README.md: The hidden toctree now includes the connectivity/* pages.
• observed — Modified behavior in manual/core/address_resolution/README.md: The overview adds the fixed-proxy translator, retains the EC2 translator, and states that per-node mappings on ScyllaDB Enterprise 2026.1 or later need no custom translator; a single hostname requires the fixed-proxy translator.
• observed — Modified behavior in manual/core/address_resolution/README.md: The detailed client-routes guide is removed, including its programmatic and HOCON setup, route discovery and refresh descriptions, DNS behavior, and stated compatibility and exclusivity limitations. In its place, the section briefly describes cloud private endpoints with per-node mappings and links to client-routes documentation. A new fixed-proxy section describes configuring FixedHostNameAddressTranslator with an advertised hostname and states that nodes retain their ports; if the proxy does not assign per-node ports, it selects the node and token-aware and shard-aware routing stop working.
• observed — Modified behavior in manual/core/connectivity/README.md: Added the connectivity guide with network-setup configuration choices, the distinction between per-node private endpoint mappings and shared proxy hostnames, and the routing consequences when translated nodes share an endpoint. It also links related documentation and adds a hidden toctree for the connectivity subpages.

Match the configured password to the truststore.

The keytool command at Line 103 prompts for a store password, but this configuration sets password123. If the reader enters a different password, the driver cannot load the truststore and TLS setup fails. Mark this value as a placeholder and state that it must match the password entered in keytool.

Major: The deployment guard lacks failure-mode tests. Its outputs decide whether publishing proceeds and whether the job later reports content loss. A false negative can publish a site with deleted API documentation. A false positive can block an otherwise valid publication. The destructive post-merge path therefore remains unproven before merge.

[nikagra]

This file is no longer in this PR's diff. The workflow change merged separately as #1154, and after the rebase this PR carries only the connectivity pages. The guard's failure-mode tests are in docs/_utils/check-javadoc-output-test.sh on scylla-4.x, run by docs-pr.yml on every docs PR there. The publish workflow checks out scylla-4.x and runs the guard from it.
