Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated “Operations (Day 2)” navigation to replace the single firmware updates page with a “Firmware Upgrades” multi-page subsection.
    • Replaced the former firmware updates guide with workflow-focused documentation for pre-ingestion, managed hosts, DPU firmware upgrades, and rack/tray components.
    • Added a new configuration guide for defining firmware update targets, version expectations, scheduling controls, and operational policies.
    • Added troubleshooting guidance for a suspected Scout assigned-host workflow gap that can stall upgrades.

Walkthrough

The PR restructures firmware-upgrade documentation into workflow-specific pages covering configuration, pre-ingestion, managed hosts, DPUs, and rack components. It also updates navigation and documents a suspected Scout assigned-host state-handling gap with proposed test coverage.

Changes

Firmware upgrade workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upgrade overview and navigation
docs/index.yml, docs/operations/firmware-updates.md
Replaces the single firmware-updates page entry with workflow-specific navigation and summarizes scheduling, expected versions, and upgrade-path selection.
Firmware configuration and rollout
docs/operations/firmware-updates/configuration.md
Documents host and DPU configuration models, API and legacy precedence, operational controls, execution settings, and rollout steps.
Pre-ingestion upgrade workflow
docs/operations/firmware-updates/pre-ingestion.md
Documents pre-ingestion targeting, ordered installation, concurrency, monitoring, retries, and recovery commands.
Managed host upgrade lifecycle
docs/operations/firmware-updates/host-firmware.md
Documents host drift scheduling, reprovisioning, installation routes, verification, monitoring, manual gates, and failure recovery.
DPU reprovisioning and verification
docs/operations/firmware-updates/dpu-firmware.md
Documents DPU drift detection, reprovisioning paths, firmware verification, monitoring, troubleshooting, and limitations.
Rack and component REST operations
docs/operations/firmware-updates/rack-component-firmware.md
Documents explicit rack/tray requests, readiness checks, sequencing, component behavior, task monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Scout assigned-host firmware gap

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assigned-host Scout state handling
docs/operations/scout-firmware-assigned-host-gap.md
Documents the top-level versus nested state-shape mismatch and proposes handler changes and API-core tests for action emission, status reporting, and stale task IDs.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/operations/firmware-updates/configuration.md`:
- Around line 349-351: Update the firmware configuration documentation statement
about host_enable_autoupdate and host_disable_autoupdate to accurately describe
them as model-level overrides that force-enable or force-disable automatic
updates regardless of the global setting. Clearly distinguish these model-wide
lists from the per-machine automatic-update policy, and do not direct operators
away from the model-level controls.

In `@docs/operations/firmware-updates/dpu-firmware.md`:
- Line 211: Correct the documented state name in the firmware update
troubleshooting table from VerifyFirmareVersions to VerifyFirmwareVersions,
preserving the surrounding explanation unchanged.

In `@docs/operations/firmware-updates/host-firmware.md`:
- Around line 123-127: Replace the hard-coded expired timestamps in the
managed-host start-updates example with copy-safe placeholders such as
<start-time> and <end-time>, while preserving the command structure and
timestamp format guidance.

In `@docs/operations/scout-firmware-assigned-host-gap.md`:
- Around line 139-141: Update the documented test command for
rejects_stale_task_id to target the carbide-api-core integration test
package/target instead of using carbide-api with --lib; leave the forge-scout
firmware_upgrade_status_request command unchanged.
