## Working on

### 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

Will add the functionality from the onie and check if it's enough by asking some from networking to test.

### 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 ?
There is a discussion on matermost that Mike will add in the defect


### 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.

### Custom variables 
I need to finish this, most of it is unclear, review notes and prepare something

## Waiting for


### 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
