| For direct URL–based console access, CloudStack does not report the acquired or client IP address. | ||
| In this mode, security and access control must be handled by the server providing the console. | ||
|
|
||
| Protocol value for direct URL–based console access can be any of the following value - link, direct, url. |

What's the difference between the three direct URL based console access? How is link, direct, url different ? This is confusing as in the beginning of the section, it says there are only two types of console access provided.
| Console Access for Instances with Orchestrator Extensions | ||

| Orchestrator extensions can provide console access for instances either through **VNC** or a **direct URL**. |

Here we state that console access can only be VNC or direct/external URL based?
Also the word direct is confusing, probably you want to say it's an external URL (or just URL) ?

This PR introduces console access support for instances deployed using Orchestrator Extensions, available via either VNC or a direct URL.
- CloudStack queries the extension using the getconsole action.
- For VNC-based access, the extension must return host/port/ticket details. CloudStack then forwards these to the Console Proxy VM (CPVM) in the instance’s zone. It is assumed that the CPVM can reach the specified host and port.
- For direct URL access, the extension returns a console URL with the protocol set to `direct`. The URL is then provided directly to the user.
- The built-in Proxmox Orchestrator Extension now supports console access via VNC. The extension calls the Proxmox API to fetch console details and returns them in the required format.
Also, adds changes to send caller details to the extension payload.
