+# pending defects notes:
+
+## Working on
+
+### MS-8868 -The OS is not reinstalled when the templated id is changed on the server instance group
+
+***TODO:*** 
+Reproduce this and fix. I have two requests to look into this from Alex Bordei and https://chat.metalsoft.io/bigstep/pl/751ugq9xrtg8tkgaz7pz1xs1xc 
+Sergiu ?
+
+
+### MS-9347 - Unhandled exception causes chain restarts in the Inventory ms and erratic behavior for the server after multiple deploys
+
+**Multiple actual issues:**
+* inventory microservice was exiting on a SQL error due await missing - added await
+* the size of the field for the agent_version  was limited in the database - updated the size to 255 for both the `agent_version` and the calculated field `agent_type_and_version`
+* there was a panic in the ms-tunnel, handled both by me and Sergiu - ***TODO*** - verify how to reproduce
+* updated the version checking in the ms-tunnel to convert known tags to a semantic version - ***TODO*** - clarify the changes, and document them
+
+**TODO**
+* add changes summary and test hints in the defect
+* reasign to Andrei
+
+
+
+
+### MS-8510 - Zombie Ansible processes
+
+1. TODO: Try to reproduce this
+2. Remember that there seems to be an issue with how the config is located, check more
+3.
+
+
+## Waiting for
+
+### MS-8883 - Update ms-agent to support cumulus-linux ZTP
+
+~~Asked Eduard and Ciprian for status~~
+
+ZTP flow expects that the switch exists in the database. We need to change that so it's creating a switch if missing. TBD how
+
+**Meeting notes:**
+* According to Sergiu this is a known limitation
+* It should be possible to use the same AFC flow as for ONIE
+* There doesn't seem to be a defect/story for it 
+* Unknown priorty, check with Mike if needed 
+* should be able to test in GNS3
+* MS-8883 can't be tested because they don't have a image compatible with GNS3
+
+
+
+### MS-9358 - Remove syslog priority filter from API and backend
+
+Sent to Andrei on 30 jan 2026, awaiting response, will check next week
+
+Solution: I just removed the fields from the ms-tunnel/ms-agent structs and removed code that was procesing priority stuf
+
+## General defects
+
+### MS-3684 - Make SSH password protected keys be usable when uploading to the firmware binary repository
+
+1. TBD: how do we store passwords for keys
+2. POC: check how to use the existing SSH library to connect using password protected key, and check if there is support for a ssh agent
+
+### MS-5288 - Implement INBAND DHCP agent in the ms-agent Golang project and the tunnel
+
+1. Onboarding: are there examples of in-band networks connected to agents in the existing setups
+2. POC: search for a json/record based database that is light weight and can be integrated in the agent
+3. POC: try sqlite for this
+
+Sergiu ?I need to figure out what exactly is the inband-outband difference
+
+### MS-5743 - move the factory reset sequence into a driver specific function
+
+code is still in the controler, it should be switched to a specific driver, but it has a guard now. Maybe close it silently
+
+### MS-5744 - generalize implementation to make it clear it works for both servers and switches
+
+This is about the kafka event used for SSH execution, that should work for switches also. They have repurposed it, I should check that out.
+Also, I was thinking that some checks/loops should be moved in the agent, and not wait actively upstream
+
+1. TODO: review the existing code to figure out the best solution
+
+
+
+### MS-5994 - Add support for syslog collection for the incus app hosts
+
+1. TODO: find a way to figure out why is this assigned to me
+2. TODO: check the API for incus for configuring the syslog
+3. TODO/onboarding: learn what is the implementation for incus
+
+### MS-6251- OS10 switch ZTP implementation
+
+1. TODO: review the status of this feature, how is integrated with switch defaults
+2. this is moslty done, but I don't know if it was tested, see who can/if was tested 
+
+
+### MS-6896 - Refactor to capture errors before confirming agent registration
+
+1. TBD: this should be part of the big rewrite, better error handling here is crucial.
+2. TBD: I need to do some research on the life cycle of the tunnel/agent system, and design shutdown cycle
+
+### MS-7443 - Reimplement Fallback for OS Template Selection via Template Microservice
+
+1. review the current implementation, since it seems that it was changed/fixed
+2. Sergiu ?
+
+### MS-7455 - Implement support for HTTPS Proxy tunneling in ms-agent
+
+1. TBD: is this done ? seems so
+2. sillently close it, after confirming everything works
+
+### MS-7634 - [GraphQL] TunnelConfig type should not be editable, it should always be TunnelConfig
+
+1. TBD: review what Alex implemented and check if this has went away
+
+### MS-7918 - Add support for DHCPv6 server registration
+
+1. TBD: what are we doing here
+
+
+
+
+## Extension migration defects
+
+### MS-7407 - Migrate extensions microservice to the nodejs-metalcloud repo
+
+1. TODO: Review the tests and make sure the coverage is complete
+2. TODO: Start moving validation from manual to class validator
+
+### MS-8447 - Allow update of workflow extensions
+
+1. TBD: clarify what the fuck is the requirement here
+
+### MS-8475 - Add support for extension versioning
+
+1. TBD: clarify what the fuck is the requirement here
