PCI simulation tooling. The dominant landing is a ~9,000-line addition of local validation tooling under pci-sim, giving contributors a way to exercise Cyborg against simulated PCI devices without real hardware. A follow-up extends the same tooling with CentOS Stream 10 support, rounding out the initial distro coverage.

Policy and WSGI plumbing. Cyborg was adapted to always-enforced policy scope, trimming ~70 net lines as scope handling moves out of per-rule logic. On the WSGI side, http_proxy_to_wsgi middleware was wired in, along with a missing oslo.middleware dependency and Paste/PasteDeploy entries in requirements to make the pipeline actually resolvable. RequestContext was refactored and unused context properties dropped, and a stray [glance] debug reference was cleaned up.

API reference and hacking. The api-ref was corrected where request samples had shipped curl invocations instead of JSON bodies (995867 companion fix here). A new C300 hacking check bans set literals in logging calls, catching a class of formatting bugs at review time.

Maintenance. A redundant doc8 entry was removed from tooling config.

Documentation push. Cyborg's week was almost entirely a documentation sprint, with four substantial guides landing back-to-back. A new NVMe driver development environment writeup (982711) walks contributors through standing up the accelerator stack end-to-end, paired with a fresh VM setup guide for development and a user guide for booting instances with accelerators attached. A separate doc covers running Cyborg's tempest and grenade jobs locally, closing a long-standing gap for anyone trying to reproduce CI results offline. Together these add roughly 1,400 lines of contributor- and operator-facing docs in a project that has historically been thin on them.

Devstack and config. Multinode devstack gained a proper placement client configuration block, smoothing setup for split-node accelerator testing.

Maintenance. The rest of the queue was cleanup: dropping a stale static_root setting, switching the SQLAlchemy models to the built-in declarative base, removing references to legacy keystonemiddleware options, pruning the unused microversion-parse dependency, and skipping the grenade job on test-only changes to save CI cycles.
