Console added + log dir parameterized, but logs stay 0 bytes: firmware
writes to VGA, so serial alone does not make a PXE-booting node observable
-- correction queued (needs graphics + virsh screenshot, or a MAAS kernel
cmdline change). Solid: PXE + ephemeral handoff work; ephemeral OS boots
with working networking (leases + NTP to rack); no region/metadata traffic
seen; memory, image sync, DHCP and shape all ruled out. SEC-010 blocking
node->region is SUSPECTED but unreadable (rules lack counters).
INVALID EXPERIMENTS RECORDED: the 'single node alone' test was not alone
(5-6 nodes still up, proven by tcpdump), and the retry did not restart
MAAS's timer while I destroyed domains mid-run. Contention is therefore a
LIVE hypothesis again, not refuted. Stopped per the circuit-breaker rather
than iterate on contaminated evidence.
CURRENT-STATE updated in this commit (GA-R1/C1).
