+# HTTP Echo (Gateway API workload)
+
+**Purpose**
+- Preserve a tiny HTTP echo `Deployment + Service` as a future GitOps canary.
+- The current `HTTPRoute` still references the retired `contour-gateway`; do not
+  apply this folder until it is migrated and reviewed against Envoy Gateway.
+
+**Resources**
+| File | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `deployment.yaml` | Two replicas of `hashicorp/http-echo` returning `hello from contour gateway`. |
+| `service.yaml` | ClusterIP service on port 80 targeted by the route. |
+| `httproute.yaml` | Gateway API `HTTPRoute` that targets `contour-gateway` and the `http-echo` service. |
+
+**How to verify**
+
+Migration and verification are intentionally deferred. Update `parentRefs` to the
+reviewed Envoy Gateway and choose a hostname covered by its listener before apply.
+
+**Notes**
+- This README records the old test intent; the retired Contour manifests are
+  available only in legacy Git history.
