Agent context. The week's headline is a ~750-line addition providing context for agents, landing a substantial new body of documentation/configuration material in the repository (983903). Alongside this, baremetal registration was switched to a per-host XDG cache, avoiding cross-host interference when the workflow runs concurrently.

Custom configuration surface. Support for custom Watcher configuration files landed on two branches, extending the existing pattern of per-service config overrides to the infrastructure-optimization service. On the cleanup side, support for the deprecated networking-infoblox plugin was dropped.

Stability and CI. A pair of fixes corrected the naming of custom container variables, addressing a regression in how operators inject container-level overrides. CI jobs were moved off Docker Hub-hosted images on two branches to dodge rate-limit and availability issues, which was replaced with the more portable command builtin in shell paths, and previous_release was set to 2026.2 Hibiscus for upgrade testing.

nmstate networking engine. The headline addition is a new nmstate engine for host network configuration, landing across master and the new stable branch at roughly 2,400 lines apiece (990265). It arrives with VLAN QoS map support and a follow-up that trims low-signal permutations from the nmstate unit tests, alongside release-note tweaks. Each of the four nmstate patches was mirrored to both branches, accounting for the bulk of the week's ~6,000-line churn.

Bug fixes. Several real-world breakages were addressed: systemd-networkd-wait-online now copes with interfaces that have no IP, lookup plugins work correctly for external playbooks, the ansible-collection-kolla install path was repaired (landed on three branches), sensitive inspector rules are hidden from Ansible output, and a known_hosts module issue on Rocky Linux 9.8 was patched. The stackhpc.openstack collection was bumped to 0.10.1.

Release branching. Master was opened for the stable/2026.1 cycle via .gitreview and version updates, though the "Use OpenStack 2026.1 release" change was reverted on master. Docs gained a kolla-playbook usage page on both branches.

Elsewhere. CI dropped SLURP jobs on master, disabled openstack-tox-py310, and replaced a deprecated yaml callback plugin.

Container coverage. The headline change broadens what Kayobe actually deploys, wiring up a substantial set of additional containers so operators get more of the Kolla catalog out of the box rather than bolting it on by hand (review.opendev.org/c/openstack/kayobe/+/922402). Alongside it, support landed for custom Watcher configuration files, a new os_family variable to simplify cross-distro role logic, and an option to bind the inspection store to the internal network rather than exposing it on the public side.

2026.1 release prep. Kayobe was cut over to the OpenStack 2026.1 release and resynced with Kolla Ansible for the same cycle, with a parallel bump of pinned Ansible collections and roles. IPA documentation was reconciled with the defaults the role has actually been shipping.

Stability. A real fix landed for the network connectivity check on modern Ansible, the trust-store playbook stopped gathering facts unnecessarily, kolla_ansible_host_vars fact caching was removed, the missing ansible-collection-kolla install path was repaired, and the deprecated ansible_managed variable was retired. Baremetal node create arguments are now properly quoted.

Tooling and CI. Five backports excluding docker-ce 29.5.1 on CentOS/Rocky were merged and then promptly reverted across branches once upstream cleared, repos moved to baseurl, and the deprecated cp -n flag was dropped from CI scripts.
