openstack/kolla-ansible — Week of 2026-09-05

Stability and bugfixes. The week was entirely fix-driven, with roughly half the merges being backports across stable branches. The etcd role picked up a fix for deploys against a stopped etcd container, landing four times across supported branches (master change plus three backports). Config validation and the RabbitMQ role both got hardening against container-engine race conditions, addressing intermittent failures when Docker/Podman commands were issued concurrently.

Image and dashboard handling. The compare_labels helper no longer blows up when the image being compared does not exist locally, a fix that landed on master and one backport. The Grafana provisioning path dropped its tasks for disabling the "Getting Started" panel, simplifying the observability role's dashboard setup on both master and a stable branch.

Elsewhere. No feature work, CI churn, or documentation changes merged in this window — the ~190 lines of churn were split evenly between fresh master fixes and their backports.
