Rename Envoy AI Gateway to Agent Router in the docs

Envoy AI Gateway became Agent Router on 2026-09-10 and moved to the Agentic AI Foundation. Per the announcement, only the product name changed. The aigateway.envoyproxy.io API group, the aigw CLI, the docker.io/envoyproxy/ai-gateway-* images and the emitted gen_ai.* / mcp.* metrics are unchanged, so our MAL/LAL rules still match.

Renamed in prose:

  • The monitoring doc's title, intro, links and body. A new "Names kept from Envoy AI Gateway" section tells operators what stays.
  • The menu entry, the marketplace link and the OTLP receiver doc example.
  • The Javadoc of Layer.ENVOY_AI_GATEWAY.

Kept on purpose, because renaming would break existing gateway deployments, stored data, dashboards, alarm rules and links:

  • The ENVOY_AI_GATEWAY layer and the job_name=envoy-ai-gateway routing tag that operators set on their gateways.
  • The otel-rules/envoy-ai-gateway/* and lal/envoy-ai-gateway.yaml rule files, and the meter_envoy_ai_gw_* metric names.
  • The doc file name and URL.

SWIP-10, SWIP-11 and the released changelogs are frozen and not touched. The UI layer name in Horizon UI will be renamed in a separate PR there.

  • If this pull request closes/resolves/fixes an existing issue, replace the issue number. Closes #.
  • Update the CHANGES log.

Envoy AI Gateway became Agent Router on 2026-09-10 and moved to the
Agentic AI Foundation. Only the product name changed: Agent Router kept
its API group, CLI, images and emitted telemetry. Update the operator doc,
menu, marketplace entry and OTLP receiver doc to the new name, and keep the
ENVOY_AI_GATEWAY layer, the job_name=envoy-ai-gateway routing tag, the
envoy-ai-gateway rule files, the meter_envoy_ai_gw_ metric names and the
doc URL unchanged so existing deployments, stored data and links keep
working.

  • The compatibility section lists the API group and aigw CLI but omits the docker.io/envoyproxy/ai-gateway-* image names, which also remain unchanged according to the rename scope. Please include that image pattern here so operators do not infer that they must switch image repositories or tags.
Agent Router kept the names you deploy (the `aigateway.envoyproxy.io` API group, the `aigw` CLI) and emits the same
