📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation updates replace legacy “agent” terminology with “client,” “daemon,” or “software” wording across product, installation, management, cloud, and Kubernetes pages. One FaaS section also clarifies the SOCKS5 listener configuration. ChangesClient terminology updates
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This documentation-only change improves terminology but leaves a few misleading or incomplete instructions, including container address usage in the FaaS example and wording that conflates the client with the peer or daemon; users could follow those sections incorrectly, so owner follow-up is advisable before merge.

In `@src/pages/about-netbird/how-netbird-works.mdx`:
- Line 63: Update the sentence around “NetBird Client” to use the canonical
lowercase “NetBird client” terminology and replace the incorrect “a software”
phrasing with natural uncountable-noun wording, preserving the original meaning.
In `@src/pages/manage/networks/how-routing-peers-work.mdx`:
- Line 6: Update the opening routing-peer definition to distinguish the
registered NetBird peer from its software client: describe it as a NetBird peer
whose client bridges the overlay network to private networks and resources
without the client. Preserve the remaining page scope and explanation.
- Around line 55-59: Update the Linux production-choice explanation in the “IP
forwarding” section to describe use of the kernel WireGuard interface and native
firewall backends by default, rather than claiming the client runs in kernel
space. Preserve that the NetBird daemon is userspace and acknowledge userspace
WireGuard or routing as selectable or fallback behavior.
In `@src/pages/use-cases/cloud/netbird-on-faas.mdx`:
- Around line 42-48: Update the “How to use the SOCKS5 proxy?” documentation and
Python example to state that applications in separate containers must connect
using the NetBird client container’s service name or IP address instead of
127.0.0.1, while preserving localhost for applications sharing the client
container.

- fix "a software" grammar and use lowercase "NetBird client" - define routing peer as a peer whose client bridges, keeping peer and client distinct - correct kernel-space claim: the kernel WireGuard data path is what runs in the kernel - clarify which address the application uses to reach the SOCKS5 proxy from a separate container

Summary
The docs used "NetBird agent" and "the agent" interchangeably with "NetBird client" — a leftover from before "agent" became AI-loaded terminology. This pass standardizes the prose on "NetBird client" as the single term for the client software.
