- #138053: is_local_endpoint() treats Kubernetes cluster DNS (*.svc.cluster.local) as a local endpoint
- PR #138073: fix(agent): exclude Kubernetes service DNS from local endpoint detection

The members concern is_local_endpoint() in the agent matching Kubernetes cluster/service DNS names (*.svc.cluster.local) as local endpoints, apparently via an mDNS-style match. One item reports the behavior and two are fix proposals to exclude these names; their outcomes are not stated.

## TL;DR

- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
