# RHEL 10+ Knowledge Patch

Claude's baseline knowledge covers RHEL through 9.3. This skill provides changes from RHEL 10.0 (2025-06-10) onwards.

## Breaking Changes Quick Reference

| What Changed | Old (RHEL 9) | New (RHEL 10+) |
|--------------|-------------|----------------|
| Redis | `redis` package | Removed — use `valkey` 7.2 |
| Sendmail | `sendmail` package | Removed — use `postfix` |
| DHCP server | `dhcp`/`dhclient` | Removed — use `dhcpcd` or ISC Kea |
| Network teaming | `teamd`/`libteam` | Removed — use bonding |
| FIPS setup | `fips-mode-setup` | Removed — enable at install with `fips=1` kernel arg |
| FIPS check | `/etc/system-fips` | Removed — read `/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled` |
| TLS crypto policy | RSA key exchange allowed | RSA key exchange rejected in DEFAULT policy |
| SHA-1 in TLS | Allowed in LEGACY | Disallowed even in LEGACY policy |
| OpenSSL Engines | ENGINE API available | Removed — use providers (e.g. `pkcs11-provider`) |
| CA trust bundle | `/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt` | `/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem` |
| Installer remote | VNC (`inst.vnc`) | RDP (`inst.rdp`, `inst.rdp.password`) |
| Default user privs | Non-admin | Admin by default |
| GFS2 | Supported | Removed |
| Container cgroups | v1 default | v2 default |
| Rootless networking | `slirp4netns` | `pasta` |

## Software Versions (RHEL 10.0)

Python 3.12, Ruby 3.3, Node.js 22, Perl 5.40, PHP 8.3, GCC 14.2, glibc 2.39, LLVM 19.1.7, Rust 1.84.1, Go 1.23, MariaDB 10.11, MySQL 8.4, PostgreSQL 16, Valkey 7.2, Apache 2.4.62, nginx 1.26, Git 2.45, OpenSSH 9.9, GnuTLS 3.8.9.

**RHEL 10.1 adds**: GCC Toolset 15, Python 3.13 (alternate AppStream).

## Podman v5 Changes

Podman v5 is the default in RHEL 10. Key differences from v4:

- `pasta` is default rootless network (not `slirp4netns`)
- cgroups v2 only (v1 no longer default)
- `podman farm build` fully supported for multi-arch images
- Quadlets support pods (`.pod` files)
- `podman update` changes are persistent (SQLite and BoltDB backends)
- `containers.conf` is read-only for connections/farms — use `podman.connections.json`
- `--compat-volumes` option for builds (VOLUME instruction handling)
- `zstd:chunked` compression for push/pull
- sigstore signatures replace GPG for image verification

See [references/podman-v5.md](references/podman-v5.md) for Quadlet keys and CLI option details.

## Security and Crypto Policy

RHEL 10 makes significant crypto policy changes:

- **DEFAULT policy** rejects TLS ciphers with RSA key exchange (use LEGACY to re-enable)
- **LEGACY policy** disallows SHA-1 signatures in TLS
- DSA and SEED algorithms removed from NSS
- RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 encryption deprecated in GnuTLS
- Post-quantum algorithms (PQ) available as Technology Preview via crypto-policies
- Sequoia PGP tools `sq` and `sqv` complement GnuPG
- OpenSSL ENGINE API removed — migrate to `pkcs11-provider`
- HeartBeat and SRP removed from TLS

See [references/security-changes.md](references/security-changes.md) for details.

## OpenSSH 9.9

- Ed25519 keys generated by default (except FIPS mode — defaults to RSA)
- `ChannelTimeout` keyword in `sshd_config` for inactive channel closure
- `EnableEscapeCommandline` option in `ssh_config`
- Agent key restriction and forwarding controls

## Removed Infrastructure

```bash
# These packages no longer exist in RHEL 10:
# sendmail → postfix
# redis → valkey
# dhcp/dhclient → dhcpcd or ISC Kea
# teamd/libteam → use bonding
# fips-mode-setup → fips=1 kernel arg at install
# scap-workbench → oscap CLI
# oscap-anaconda-addon → RHEL image builder OpenSCAP integration
```

See [references/removed-features.md](references/removed-features.md) for the full list.

## Installer Changes

- RDP replaces VNC: `inst.rdp`, `inst.rdp.password`, `inst.rdp.username`
- Wayland compositor replaces Xorg in installer (`inst.xdriver` removed)
- No separate `/boot` partition on disk images
- New users get admin privileges by default
- Kickstart: `--teamslaves`/`--teamconfig` removed (use `--bondslaves`/`--bondopts`)
- Kickstart: `auth`/`authconfig` removed (use `authselect`)
- Kickstart: `timezone --ntpservers` removed (use `timesource --ntp-server`)

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
