New Feature

How would you describe the priority of this feature request

Medium

Please provide a clear description of problem this feature solves

Add backend-agnostic, eventually consistent NVOS password rotation through component-manager. Securely manage versioned credentials, track per-switch convergence, reconcile uncertain outcomes, and recover after restarts without blind retries or exposing password material.

Feature Description

  • System shall rotate NVOS credentials through component-manager, independent of backend implementation.
  • System shall manage versioned credentials in the authoritative credential store.
  • System shall track durable per-switch rotation and convergence state.
  • System shall support asynchronous submission and job observation.
  • System shall reconcile uncertain outcomes before retrying or promoting credentials.
  • System shall recover safely after restarts without blind retries.
  • System shall not expose password material through persistence, logs, metrics, or errors.
