Description
RKE1 reached EOL and is no longer default in Rancher 2.12. The "Node-agent" (
cattle-node-agent) documentation should be replaced with "rancher-system-agent" which is used in RKE2/K3s clusters.Changes:

Older versioned docs (v2.11 and earlier) intentionally left unchanged as they still document RKE1 clusters.
