modules/node-vm: add serial console + boot log (parameterized dir)
...
Its absence blocked a live diagnosis: 6/9 dc0 nodes stall in MAAS 'Loading
ephemeral' and, with no console and no agent, a stuck node is unobservable.
Same pattern opnsense-edge already carries, for the same reason -- a
PXE-booting node emits everything interesting before anything sshable
exists. Unconditional (MAAS-managed nodes are rebuilt at will; no
live-router bounce risk like the D-129 qga channel). Log dir is a variable
rather than opnsense-edge's hardcoded vcloud literal, which is wrong on any
other libvirt host -- backport queued.

D-127 IaC autostart matrix baked into deploy tooling + Office1 guest updates
...
Operator directive: bake the autoboot-vs-manual matrix into the IaC so DC0/DC1 get
correct autostart at creation, not by hand. Added an `autostart` bool var to modules
cloudinit-vm/opnsense-edge/node-vm (wired to libvirt_domain.autostart); set explicitly
per instance (shared modules => IaC is source of truth): voffice1=true,
office1-opnsense=true, vvr1-dc0=FALSE, vr1-dc0-opnsense=true, node-vm=FALSE.
HARD GATE verified: the two existing Office1 domains (voffice1, office1-opnsense) plan
as autostart false->true UPDATE-IN-PLACE, NOT replacement (replacement would destroy the
live host/edge). vvr1-dc0 is a new create with autostart=false baked in. Outer plan now
5 add / 2 in-place / 6 destroy; the 2 collapse to 0 once the bookend sets those two
autostart live pre-apply. tests/opentofu-validate T11-T15 pin the matrix against drift.
Standup runbook records the composed service VMs' LXD boot.autostart step. Confirmed
DC0/DC1 create NO LXD instances (inner root = node-vm + opnsense-edge + planes/pool/
wan-bridge) -- DC side is purely this VM matrix.
Office1 guest updates (agent sudo inside the guests): office1-netbox apt upgrade (no
reboot, netbox healthy); office1-tailscale full-upgrade -> kernel 6.8.0-136 + reboot
(back, re-advertising 10.10.0.0/22); voffice1 0-upgradable; LXD boot.autostart=true set
on both. vcloud + office1-opnsense stay in the operator's bookend.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (66); opentofu-validate clean; repo-lint 0-fail.

DC-DC Stage 1 (dc-dc-phase0): first real execution + scaffold/tooling fixes
...
First end-to-end run of a DC-DC runbook against real infrastructure (vcloud host,
OpenTofu v1.12.3). Applied 13 libvirt objects (6 DC1 planes, dc1/office1/dc2
pools, office1-local, 3 mesh legs, all MTU 9000); prior VR0 nets torn down (wan
kept as a gap-#17 model); DC2 planes deferred (NetBox supernet), DC2 storage wired.
DOCFIX-178: scripts/prereqs/ idempotent workstation prereq installers + a
Prerequisites section in the runbook + tests/prereqs/ (25/25). Runbooks must
not assume prereq runtimes.
DOCFIX-179: OpenTofu scaffold first validation + apply. Per-module
required_providers (child modules do NOT inherit provider SOURCE -> OpenTofu
inferred nonexistent hashicorp/libvirt); tofu fmt -recursive; provider "maas"
deferred to Stage 3 (kept a sensitive key out of Stage-1 plan/state);
repo-lint now skips the .terraform/ provider cache; .terraform.lock.hcl added.
DOCFIX-180: dc-dc-phase0 runbook as-executed corrections folded in at phase
close (two MTU domains, non-pristine-host handling, Step-9 13-resource plan,
-input=false, Known-Gap resolved).
repo-lint 0 fail; prereqs harness 25/25; repo-lint harness 34/34.

DOCFIX-144: opentofu/modules/node-vm + fix real syntax bug in DOCFIX-142
...
Built the D-103 node-VM pattern (blank disk, PXE-boot, MAAS-managed) for
Stage 3 -- this time from the provider's own real example .tf files
(examples/domain_with_network.tf, examples/alpine_cloudinit.tf), not
doc-summarization alone, since that confidence gap is exactly why the domain
module was deferred last time.
That surfaced a real bug in the already-pushed dc-planes/mesh-link/
dc-storage-pool modules (14d7382): they used classic HCL block syntax
(domain { ... }) where this provider's current schema needs attribute-style
objects (domain = { ... }) -- confirmed once real examples showed the actual
convention. All three fixed; opentofu/README.md's schema notes now state this
as a provider-wide assumption for any field not personally confirmed
otherwise.
One inference flagged, not presented as fact: the per-device boot-order
attribute's exact internal shape ({ order = N }) -- the field's existence is
confirmed, its shape is not. Not instantiated in root main.tf: node
count/sizing is a pending Phase-0 decision, not invented here. Still
deferred: the cloud-init/base-image VM pattern (Office1 services + OPNsense),
DC2 planes, netem application.
