+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A focused week dominated by ARM cross-compilation fixes in `power-control`, HTTP-client and Redfish improvements in `smd`, and forward motion on the 2026 Developer Summit.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **ARM cross-compilation gets sorted in power-control:** A run of merged PRs — [`power-control` #62](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/62) (migrate to latest SMD), [#63](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/63), [#64](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/64), [#65](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/65) — fix ARM cross-build and set `CGO_ENABLED=1` correctly. A parallel [`github-actions` PR #6](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/github-actions/pull/6) addresses the same setting in the shared workflow templates.
+- **Custom HTTP clients for SMD service reservations:** [`smd` PR #83](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/83) lands the ability to plug in a custom HTTP client when making `ServiceReservation` calls — opening the door to OAuth2-aware reservations, which [`power-control` PR #61](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/61) is already taking advantage of.
+- **SerialConsole and CommandShell in SMD:** [`smd` PR #81](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/81) adds Redfish `SerialConsole` and `CommandShell` resource handling — a long-running PR that finally merged this week.
+- **Scope handling fix in power-control:** [`power-control` PR #60](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/60) corrects OAuth2 scope handling, improving the reliability of authenticated calls.
+- **Discovery tutorial updated to v0.6.0:** [`openchami.org` PR #68](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/68) refreshes the discovery tutorial to match `ochami` v0.6.0 conventions.
+- **Developer Summit 2026 announced:** [`openchami.org` PR #65](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/65) adds details for the OpenCHAMI Developer Summit @ UCL 2026 — mark your calendars.
+- **Two SMD releases this week:** [`smd` v2.19.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/releases/tag/v2.19.1) and [`smd` v2.19.2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/releases/tag/v2.19.2) ship the HTTP-client and Redfish work.
+- **power-control v2.12.0 released:** [`power-control` v2.12.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/releases/tag/v2.12.0) bundles the ARM-build and scope-handling fixes.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A quieter week focused on `image-builder` improvements and a notable new cloud-init feature request. The `openchami.org` repo also saw a bulk maintenance sweep across older digest and event PRs.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Image-builder runtime improvements:** [`image-builder` PR #54](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/54) adds support for module operations when not building from scratch, and [PR #55](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/55) removes ansible variable printing — both shipped by travisbcotton this week.
+- **User-provided repo config in image-builder:** [`image-builder` PR #53](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/53) from smehta99 explores letting users supply their own repo config to the build pipeline. Closed for now; expect a follow-up.
+- **Multi-NIC cloud-init metadata proposed:** New issue [`cloud-init` #102](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/issues/102) by Katakam-Rakesh asks SMD to expose multiple network interfaces in cloud-init metadata — useful for nodes with bonded or multi-fabric setups.
+
+## New & Notable PRs
+
+- [Module operations without scratch build (image-builder #54)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/54) by travisbcotton
+- [Remove ansible variable printing (image-builder #55)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/55) by travisbcotton

+
+## Contributor Thanks
+
+- **travisbcotton** — back-to-back image-builder improvements this week.
+- **smehta99** — pushing on image-builder config flexibility.
+- **Katakam-Rakesh** — surfacing the multi-NIC cloud-init gap.
+
+---
+
+## What’s next?
+
+- Decide the path forward for user-provided repo config in `image-builder` — close, redesign, or merge a follow-up?
+- Triage [`cloud-init` #102](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/issues/102) and identify the SMD-side fields that need to surface.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A solid week across `fabrica`, `metadata-service`, and `ochami` — including the first `ochami` v0.6.1 patch and a fresh `fabrica` v0.4.0 release that lines up with the kubebuilder-style versioning work.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **fabrica v0.4.0 ships kubebuilder-style versioning:** [`fabrica` v0.4.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.0) is the first release to incorporate the kubebuilder-style versioning landed via [PR #27](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/27). The shape of fabrica's resource API is now closer to Kubernetes conventions.
+- **metadata-service catches up to fabrica's pre-release:** [`metadata-service` PR #4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/4) by alexlovelltroy upgrades to the new fabrica pre-release and addresses legacy compatibility — a coordinated bump across the two repos.
+- **Lowercase resources work cleanly in fabrica:** [`fabrica` PR #32](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/32) from bmcdonald3 fixes a usability papercut: adding a lower-case resource now just works. Paired with [PR #33](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/33) which corrects the example-4 documentation.
+- **ochami v0.6.1 with power-status display:** [`ochami` v0.6.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/releases/tag/v0.6.1) lands [PR #58](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/58) — power status is now visible directly from the CLI.
+- **magellan documentation, log messages, and tests:** [`magellan` PR #126](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/pull/126) from davidallendj bundles a wave of correctness improvements: bug fixes, clearer log output, updated docs, and new regression tests.
+- **Profile-based cloud-init metadata explored:** [`metadata-service` PR #3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/3) experiments with a `profile` query parameter for cloud-init metadata handlers. Closed for now; pattern likely to resurface.
+- **JSON/YAML input for magellan collect:** New feature request [`magellan` #128](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/128) — let `collect` accept JSON or YAML input so it composes with other tooling.
+- **fabrica package generation feature closed:** [`fabrica` #26](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/issues/26) from jacobsalmela on generating api packages for existing modules resolved this week.
+
+## New & Notable PRs
+
+- [Upgrade for new fabrica pre-release (metadata-service #4)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/4) by alexlovelltroy
+- [Lower-case resources work (fabrica #32)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/32) by bmcdonald3

+- [Bug fixes + better logs + regression tests (magellan #126)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/pull/126) by davidallendj
+
+## Issues to Watch
+
+- [Allow `collect` to take JSON or YAML as input (magellan #128)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/128) — a small interoperability win waiting for an implementation.
+
+## Releases
+
+- [ochami v0.6.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/releases/tag/v0.6.1) — power status display
+- [fabrica v0.4.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.0) — kubebuilder-style versioning
+
+## Contributor Thanks
+
+- **alexlovelltroy** — coordinated the fabrica + metadata-service version bump.
+- **bmcdonald3** — the fabrica DX fixes (lowercase resources, example docs) make the framework friendlier.
+- **cjh1** — power status in the CLI lands in v0.6.1.
+- **davidallendj** — magellan correctness sweep with regression coverage.
+
+---
+
+## What’s next?
+
+- Pick up [`magellan` #128](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/128) to round out tooling interop.
+- Watch for follow-up fabrica releases that fully shake out the kubebuilder transition.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A busy week with significant `inventory-service` foundational work, `fru-tracker` polish, and a fresh `ochami` v0.7.0 release.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **ochami v0.7.0 released:** [`ochami` v0.7.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/releases/tag/v0.7.0) ships this week, building on the v0.6.x line.
+- **inventory-service foundational work:** shunr-hpe lands a batch of PRs setting up the service: a [Debian-based Dockerfile](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/7), a [rename from `SmdV2` to `Csm` in function names](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/6), [REST tests for the remaining APIs](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/5), and an [extended Redfish endpoints post handler](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/2). A solid base to build on.
+- **fru-tracker polish:** bmcdonald3 ships five fru-tracker PRs this week — a [collector demo and tutorial](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/11), [new-field support](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/12), [intent reword for clarity](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/13), [import fixes](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/10), and the [collector code into demo dir](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/9).
+- **Configurable hostname policy lands in coresmd:** [`coresmd` PR #47](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/47) from davidallendj implements the configurable-hostname-policy feature for DHCPv4, addressing the long-running [`coresmd` #46](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/issues/46) discussion.
+- **ochami README + Makefile refresh:** [`ochami` PR #71](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/71) from synackd cleans up the README and Makefile — a quality-of-life win for new contributors.
+- **kube-deploy updates:** rainest landed [PR #7](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/kube-deploy/pull/7) updating the demo workflow, while cjh1's [#4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/kube-deploy/pull/4) (argocd repo add) and [#5](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/kube-deploy/pull/5) (ochami config path) tightened the deploy story.
+- **Cabinet discovery in ex-bootstrap:** new PR [`ex-bootstrap` #4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ex-bootstrap/pull/4) from PowellTravis adds cabinet discovery and configuration.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A week dominated by **aarch64 support** across multiple components and a parallel **REUSE compliance** push. New `opaal` release, structured-logging proposal for `bss`, and documentation continues to accrete.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **aarch64 support across opaal and local-ca:** A coordinated push closes [`opaal` #7](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/opaal/issues/7) for aarch64 container images via [PR #8](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/opaal/pull/8) and [PR #9](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/opaal/pull/9) (Goreleaser env fix). `local-ca` v0.2.3 hit a [Dockerfile bug on arm64](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/local-ca/issues/5) that synackd resolved in [PR #6](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/local-ca/pull/6), plus [CI fixes for container builds](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/local-ca/pull/4) and a related [unknown/unknown architecture report](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/local-ca/issues/3).
+- **REUSE v3.3 compliance lands in coresmd:** [`coresmd` PR #48](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/48) from synackd adds a Makefile, brings the repo into REUSE v3.3 compliance, and refreshes the README — a model worth replicating across the org.
+- **REUSE template year fix in fabrica:** [`fabrica` #35](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/issues/35) caught a hard-coded `2025` in the REUSE copyright template; [PR #36](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/36) makes it dynamic.
+- **opaal v0.3.12 released:** [`opaal` v0.3.12](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/opaal/releases/tag/v0.3.12) ships, and the `release` repo updates [opaal container references to v0.3.12](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/41).
+- **local-ca v0.2.4 cascade:** [`release` PR #44](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/44) bumps local-ca v0.2.2 → v0.2.4, which incorporates the arm64 fixes from above.
+- **coredhcp config comments support:** [`coresmd` PR #49](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/49) adds support for comments in coredhcp configs — a small but real DX win.
+- **Structured logging proposed for bss:** [`bss` #77](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/bss/issues/77) from seantronsen proposes moving bss to structured logging — a foundation for downstream log aggregation (Vector, Loki, etc.).
+- **Slurm install docs:** [`openchami.org` PR #72](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/72) from lunamorrow lands; a follow-up [PR #83](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/83) was closed but the documentation is in.
+- **FRU tracker blog post + tutorial reorg:** [`openchami.org` #77](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/77) (FRU tracker blog by bmcdonald3) and [#71](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/71) (tutorial section reorganization by davidallendj) landed.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+The `remote-console` import from CSM lands and clears a stack of old issues, a `coresmd` refactor separates packages cleanly, and the OpenCHAMI Developer Summit @ UCL 2026 gets Cambridge day-0 details.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **remote-console comes online:** [`remote-console` PR #15](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/remote-console/pull/15) from cjh1 refactors internals and exposes a websocket interface — the merge clears a row of long-running import-from-CSM issues: [#1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/remote-console/issues/1) (import), [#2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/remote-console/issues/2) (configurable), [#3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/remote-console/issues/3) (integration tests), [#7](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/remote-console/issues/7) (Mountain Node support), and [#8](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/remote-console/issues/8) (node type configuration). A satisfying batch close.
+- **coresmd package separation:** [`coresmd` PR #51](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/51) from synackd splits coredhcp/coresmd functionality into separate packages, paying down a long-standing architectural debt.
+- **`ochami console` command proposed:** [`ochami` #72](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/issues/72) from cjh1 asks for an `ochami console` command — building on the remote-console work to make serial-console access first-class in the CLI.
+- **smd default DB port:** [`smd` PR #85](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/85) from mattmix uses a sensible default DB port when none is specified — reducing config-error frustration.
+- **Cambridge day-0 event updates:** [`openchami.org` PR #85](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/85) from dominicfriend adds day-0 details for the UCL 2026 Summit. HPSFcon 2026 docs also tightened in [PR #87](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/87).
+- **Hugo deploy workflow updates:** [`openchami.org` PR #88](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/88) refreshes the Hugo deployment workflow.
+- **TRS library ARM issue resolved:** [`power-control` #53](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/issues/53) — TRS library blocking ARM builds — closed. ARM story continues to improve.
+- **Signing-subkey expiration visible in release flow:** [`release` PR #47](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/47) from alexlovelltroy adds a step to display the signing subkey expiration — useful operational visibility.
+- **inventory-service plugins work:** [`inventory-service` PR #8](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/8) from shunr-hpe lands more on the plugins direction.
+- **coresmd-using-fabrica refactor proposed:** [`coresmd` #53](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/issues/53) from davidallendj suggests refactoring the coresmd plugin to use Fabrica-generated clients — a structural simplification once the work is sequenced.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A heavy week with four releases shipping, the flexible hostname-policy work in `coresmd` finishing up, and Dependabot starting to roll across the org.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Four releases in seven days:** [`smd` v2.19.3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/releases/tag/v2.19.3), [`coresmd` v0.6.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/releases/tag/v0.6.0), [`ochami` v0.7.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/releases/tag/v0.7.1), and a [`fru-tracker` pr-18 cut](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/releases/tag/pr-18). Steady cadence across the core stack.
+- **Flexible hostname policy closes out:** [`coresmd` PR #52](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/52) from synackd implements the flexible hostname policy in coredhcp/coresmd — closing [coresmd #46](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/issues/46) (the original feature request) and informing follow-up [coresmd #57](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/issues/57) (id_set for rules) opened later in the week.
+- **Subnet-rich rules in coresmd:** [`coresmd` #56](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/issues/56) from travisbcotton — rich rules for per-subnet routers — proposed and closed in the same window. Quick turnaround.
+- **Dependabot starts landing PRs:** Multiple dep bumps merged across `coresmd`, `ochami`, and `deployment-recipes` (golang.org/x/crypto, grpc, coredns, helm-related actions). [`deployment-recipes` #143](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/deployment-recipes/pull/143) (actions/checkout v4→v6) still pending — older bumps in the queue worth review.
+- **fru-tracker integration testing:** [`fru-tracker` PR #16](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/16) adds integration tests; [PR #15](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/15) switches parent-child linking to serialNumber from redfish_uri; [PR #17](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/17) trims unused model fields. Continued bmcdonald3 momentum.
+- **local-ca gets arm64/v8 CI:** [`local-ca` PR #7](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/local-ca/pull/7) from synackd adds `linux/arm64/v8` to CI, plus [PR #8](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/local-ca/pull/8) fixes step-ca env var passing.
+- **tokensmith ursa policy loader v2 (round 2):** [`tokensmith` PR #9](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/9) from synackd lands the second take on the ursa policy loader work after the earlier revert.
+- **TSC agenda issue template:** [`community` PR #41](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/community/pull/41) from slandath adds a TSC agenda item template — formalizing how items reach the [TSC Meeting Agenda](https://github.com/orgs/OpenCHAMI/projects/11) board.
+- **RHEL repo support proposed for image-builder:** [`image-builder` #32](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/issues/32) from treydock — long-standing ask for RHEL repos — got attention this week.
+- **Profile-based node configuration RFD:** [`roadmap` #121](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/121) — alexlovelltroy's RFD on profile-based node config and an API shim — gained discussion.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A *very* busy week — `tokensmith` ships its first three releases, `inventory-service` and `fabrica` integration deepens, and several long-running issues close.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **tokensmith reaches its first releases:** Three tags this week — [`tokensmith` v0.0.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/releases/tag/v0.0.1), [v0.0.2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/releases/tag/v0.0.2), and a jump to [v0.3.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/releases/tag/v0.3.0). The big v0.3.0 release follows [PR #19](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/19) updating tokensmith for use with SMD and the new fabrica-based services.
+- **inventory-service catches up to fabrica HEAD:** shunr-hpe lands [`inventory-service` #10](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/10) (update to fabrica `442df75`), [#11](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/11) (drop the "alternate ID" naming), and [#12](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/12) (add CSM service REST endpoints). The service is taking shape fast.
+- **tokensmith hardening:** [`tokensmith` PR #13](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/13) (dockerfile runtime flags), [#14](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/14) (per-PR container builds), [#15](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/15) (JWKS format fix), [#17](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/17) (generate `kid` on key creation), and [#18](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/18) (skip publish on PR-only Goreleaser runs) — all landed this week. Plus [#11](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/11) (bootstrap token feature).
+- **fabrica gains module compatibility checks:** [`fabrica` PR #38](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/38) from alexlovelltroy adds module compatibility checks and tests for code generation — protecting against generator/runtime drift.
+- **fabrica + tokensmith integration shipped:** [`fabrica` PR #34](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/34) (tokensmith authn/authz feature) lands.
+- **coresmd v0.6.1 cleanup release:** [`coresmd` v0.6.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/releases/tag/v0.6.1) ships a follow-on to the v0.6.0 flexible hostname policy work.
+- **Magellan BMC configuration RFD:** new [`magellan` #129](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/129) from davidallendj proposes BMC configuration (NTP, syslog, SSH keys, etc.) via magellan — bringing more BMC lifecycle into scope.
+- **Old magellan issues clear:** [`magellan` #122](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/122) (manual pages), [#123](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/123) (cache default), [#127](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/127) (RF SerialConsole) all closed.
+- **`/swagger` → `/docs` resurfaces:** [`fabrica` #31](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/issues/31) — the rename from `/swagger` to `/docs` — got attention again as fabrica matures.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A focused week with `coresmd` gaining tokensmith-backed authentication, `inventory-service` adding a memberships API, and a new Flexible Hardware Identification RFD on the table.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **TokenSmith-backed service auth for coresmd:** [`coresmd` PR #60](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/60) from alexlovelltroy implements TokenSmith-backed authentication for the coresmd service — extending the auth pattern landed in fabrica last week into the coresmd plugin surface.
+- **Memberships REST API in inventory-service:** [`inventory-service` PR #13](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/13) from shunr-hpe adds the memberships REST endpoints — another step on the path to feature parity with the legacy SMD surfaces.
+- **SMD functional tests fixed:** [`smd` PR #87](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/87) from shunr-hpe brings the functional tests back to passing — important groundwork for further smd changes to land safely.
+- **Improved tokensmith failure logging:** [`tokensmith` PR #21](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/21) from alexlovelltroy enhances logging for service-token authentication failures and adds a test for target-service mismatch. Important for diagnosing auth issues in the field.
+- **Flexible Hardware Identification RFD opened:** [`roadmap` #122](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/122) from bmcdonald3 proposes a Flexible Hardware Identification and Hierarchy Linking model. Connects to the parent/child serial-number rework done in [fru-tracker #15](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/15) earlier.
+- **fabrica Prometheus metrics in progress:** [`fabrica` PR #39](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/39) from alexlovelltroy works on Prometheus metrics support — still open, but movement on the observability front.
+- **fabrica documentation cleanup:** [`fabrica` #42](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/issues/42) (broken/outdated tutorials, raised by seantronsen) closed this week.
+- **image-builder long-runners merged:** [`image-builder` PR #52](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/52) (copy files earlier in build) and [#49](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/49) (multi-arch support) — both originally from late 2025 — closed and worked through this week. [PR #56](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/image-builder/pull/56) for write-able repo configs is now actively open.

+- [BMC config via magellan (magellan #129)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/129) — still open from last week.
+
+## Releases
+
+- [tokensmith v0.3.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/releases/tag/v0.3.0) — first major tokensmith release with SMD + fabrica support (created last week; landed in this window).
+

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+Two big themes: a six-PR `inventory-service` cleanup sprint from shunr-hpe, and the OpenCHAMI Developer Summit @ UCL 2026 agenda getting its final shape. Plus a `tokensmith` RFC 8693 refactor and the closure of a long-standing `boot-service` legacy-API issue.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **inventory-service cleanup sprint:** shunr-hpe lands six PRs in a tight batch — [PR #14](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/14) (project rename to `inventory-service`), [#15](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/15) (remove unneeded `go.mod` replaces), [#16](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/16) (EthernetInterface description handling), [#17](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/17) (Makefile + test targets), [#18](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/18) (package rename `controllers` → `providers`), and the earlier-week [`smd` #87](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/87) (functional-test fix). Solid hygiene work.
+- **tokensmith RFC 8693 support:** [`tokensmith` PR #22](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/pull/22) from alexlovelltroy refactors the TokenService to support [RFC 8693](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8693) for opaque token management. Lands in [tokensmith v0.4.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/releases/tag/v0.4.0); [v0.4.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/tokensmith/releases/tag/v0.4.1) follows the next day with a quick patch.
+- **boot-service legacy API issue closed:** [`boot-service` #1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/issues/1) — the long-running BSS-compatibility ask on `/boot/v1/bootparameters` — closes this week. Connects to the [boot-service v0.1.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/releases/tag/v0.1.1) release.
+- **coresmd per-rule netmask action:** [`coresmd` PR #59](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/59) from synackd adds a per-rule netmask action with docs updates, closing the netmask/cidr inference ask from [`coresmd` #58](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/issues/58).
+- **UCL 2026 Summit prep continues:** Multiple `openchami.org` PRs polish the Summit: [Day 1 reorganisation](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/93), [Day 2 AI workshop schedule fix](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/92), [venue and session-room changes](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/91), and [tutorial update](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/94) from new contributor darkmatterdawn. Plus [Install Slurm doc updated to use cloud-init](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/82) from lunamorrow.
+- **Deployment recipes bump to v0.1.2:** [`deployment-recipes` PR #145](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/deployment-recipes/pull/145) from mithileshreddy04 updates the OpenCHAMI release reference to v0.1.2.

+
+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A strong release week with five tags shipping, the first ever `gpg-signing-manager` PR, and an OpenAPI discovery RFD on the table.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **gpg-signing-manager opens up:** [`gpg-signing-manager` PR #1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/gpg-signing-manager/pull/1) — the first PR on this repo — from synackd switches to separate repo keys instead of subkeys. A meaningful change to the signing trust model used by the release pipeline.
+- **boot-service expansion:** [`boot-service` PR #11](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/11) from synackd adds openapi API routes, and [PR #7](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/7) from alexlovelltroy upgrades the underlying fabrica. [`boot-service` v0.1.2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/releases/tag/v0.1.2) ships at end of week, accompanied by [ochami's bump to boot-service v0.1.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/77) earlier in the week.
+- **OpenAPI Discovery RFD opened:** [`roadmap` #124](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/124) from alexlovelltroy — a standardized OpenAPI discovery endpoint across OpenCHAMI services. Pairs naturally with the [`ochami` #78](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/issues/78) ask for choosing API versions of fabrica services.
+- **aarch64 release issues close:** [`release` #42](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/issues/42) (local-ca aarch64) and [`release` #43](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/issues/43) (broader aarch64) — both from middelkoopt — closed this week. The aarch64 arc that started in March is winding down.
+- **Cloud-init networking inject closes:** [`boot-service` #6](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/issues/6) from travisbcotton — inject cloud-init networking from boot-service — closed this week, along with [`boot-service` PR #2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/2) (ethernet interface unmarshal fix from davidallendj).
+- **Release pipeline tightens:** [`release` PR #49](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/49) streamlines the ephemeral GPG key generation and signing process; [PR #48](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/48) bumps `bss`, `smd`, and `local-ca` versions; [PR #40](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/40) from erl-hpe adds `:ro,Z` to coresmd-coredns container volume specs (selinux-friendly).
+- **fabrica v0.4.1 + reconciler guardrails:** [`fabrica` v0.4.1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.1) ships. New PR [#46](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/46) from bmcdonald3 throws when reconcilers are configured without events and lowers default worker count to 1 — guardrails against subtle misconfigurations.
+- **Container instructions for tutorial:** [`openchami.org` PR #95](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/95) from green-br adds optional container instructions.
+

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+Five releases this week, the first tagged `ipxe-binaries` release with Broadcom firmware support, and continued UCL 2026 Summit final-prep. Plus the first Dependabot PRs landing in `cloud-init` — the cross-org dep-update story is gaining ground.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **ipxe-binaries v0.1.0 — first tagged release:** [`ipxe-binaries` v0.1.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ipxe-binaries/releases/tag/v0.1.0) ships, building on long-standing [PR #1](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ipxe-binaries/pull/1) (attestations, from late 2024) plus this week's [PR #3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ipxe-binaries/pull/3) from abhishek-sa1 (ipxe v2.0.0 for latest Broadcom firmware NIC support).
+- **inventory-service gains a Hardware resource type:** [`inventory-service` PR #20](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/20) from shunr-hpe adds the Hardware resource — a key model for the [Flexible Hardware Identification RFD](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/122).
+- **fabrica v0.4.2 + docs cleanup:** [`fabrica` v0.4.2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.2) ships, plus seantronsen's [`fabrica` PR #43](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/43) lands the documentation cleanup that closed earlier complaints about outdated tutorials.
+- **release v0.1.5 + coresmd v0.4.3 bump:** [`release` v0.1.5](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/releases/tag/v0.1.5) ships, and [`release` PR #51](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/pull/51) bumps coresmd v0.4.0 → v0.4.3 in the release definition.
+- **kube-deploy gets CI:** [`kube-deploy` PR #9](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/kube-deploy/pull/9) from rainest proposes adding CI; [PR #8](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/kube-deploy/pull/8) fixes a "not-quite numbers" YAML quoting issue.
+- **Dependabot active in cloud-init:** Three new dep bumps opened in [`cloud-init`](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/pulls) — [#105 go-jose v4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/pull/105), [#106 golang.org/x/crypto](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/pull/106), [#107 mapstructure v2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/pull/107). Dependabot is doing its job; reviewers needed.
+- **UCL 2026 Summit final-prep:** [Final presenters update](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/99) by dominicfriend, and the [UCL page expanded to multiple pages](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/98) for clearer attendee navigation.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A *big* week. Seven releases including **inventory-service v0.1.0** (the first tag), a built-in **MCP server** in fabrica, a Single System Image RFD on the table, and group-membership-from-SMD in boot-service.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **inventory-service v0.1.0 — the first release:** [`inventory-service` v0.1.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/releases/tag/v0.1.0) tags. Months of work from shunr-hpe culminates: [`inventory-service` PR #21](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/21) adds the GitHub release workflow and goreleaser build, and [PR #22](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/22) refactors and expands the SMD-compare tests.
+- **fabrica gets a built-in MCP server:** [`fabrica` PR #47](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/47) from alexlovelltroy lands a built-in [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server. Significant new direction — fabrica-based services can be discovered and interacted with by MCP-aware tools (Claude Desktop, agents, etc.) out of the box.
+- **fabrica releases this week:** [`fabrica` v0.4.4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.4) and [v0.4.3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.3) ship. The release brings: [PR #49](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/49) (keep fabrica from regenerating files when only the header changed), [PR #44](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/44) (purely local generation bugfix), [PR #45](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/45) (init path fix for agentic tools), [PR #21](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/21) (SPDX line moves + authorship), [PR #50](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/50) (version doc bump), and [PR #52](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/52) (enhanced version display, still open).
+- **boot-service ships v0.1.3 and v0.1.4:** [`boot-service` v0.1.4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/releases/tag/v0.1.4) and [v0.1.3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/releases/tag/v0.1.3) ship with [PR #12](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/12) (group membership from SMD by travisbcotton) and [PR #10](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/10) (boot profile clarification by alexlovelltroy).
+- **fru-tracker v0.2.2 with build automation:** [`fru-tracker` v0.2.2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/releases/tag/v0.2.2) ships [PR #18](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/18) from alexlovelltroy: Makefile + GitHub workflow updates for proper build automation.
+- **Single System Image RFD:** [`roadmap` #125](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/125) from jordiblasco proposes Single System Image for cluster provisioning — a strategic direction worth deep discussion.
+- **OpenCHAMI installation/deployment tool proposed:** [`release` #53](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/issues/53) from erl-hpe — a turnkey deployment tool based on the tutorials. Connects to the existing [`deployment-recipes`](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/deployment-recipes) work.
+- **cloud-init mem-store boot-time init:** [`cloud-init` PR #103](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/cloud-init/pull/103) from rainest adds basic memory-store initialization at boot — improving cold-start behavior.
+- **Inventory Service blog post in progress:** [`openchami.org` PR #97](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/openchami.org/pull/97) from shunr-hpe drafts a blog post for inventory-service, timed for the v0.1.0 release.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A landmark week — **metadata-service v0.1.0** ships as a first release alongside **smd v2.20.0** with optional tokensmith authentication, plus an `ochami boot service status` command and a fabrica health-endpoint addition.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **metadata-service v0.1.0 — first release:** [`metadata-service` v0.1.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/releases/tag/v0.1.0) ships. The release incorporates [PR #6](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/6) (Profile resource), [PR #7](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/7) (fabrica 0.3.0 + Profile/WireGuardPeer reconcilers), [PR #8](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/8) (fabrica upgrade), and forward-looking work in [PR #13](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/13) (WireGuard peer reconciliation).
+- **smd v2.20.0 with TokenSmith authentication:** [`smd` v2.20.0](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/releases/tag/v2.20.0) ships [PR #86](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/86) — optional TokenSmith authentication features in SMD. A foundational integration. [`smd` v2.20.3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/releases/tag/v2.20.3) followed with patches the same day.
+- **smd CI/CD overhauled:** [`smd` PR #88](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/88) (alexlovelltroy — CI/CD + GoReleaser improvements), [#89](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/89) (PR-build env from travisbcotton), and [#90](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/90) (remove Windows from smd-loader goos list). The smd release pipeline gets meaningfully better.
+- **fabrica v0.4.5 with health endpoint:** [`fabrica` v0.4.5](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/releases/tag/v0.4.5) ships [PR #53](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/pull/53) (health check endpoint + tests). The missing-API-endpoints bug in [`fabrica` #51](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fabrica/issues/51) was also closed.
+- **ochami v0.7.3 brings boot-service status:** [`ochami` v0.7.3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/releases/tag/v0.7.3) ships [PR #79](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/79) — new `ochami boot service status` command. Also closes the [`ochami` #68 SMD interface query parameter bug](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/issues/68) via [PR #83 from new contributor Wafffle77](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/83).
+- **boot-service v0.1.5 with health/version endpoints:** [`boot-service` v0.1.5](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/releases/tag/v0.1.5) ships [PR #13](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/13) (fabrica 0.4.4 upgrade), and closes [`boot-service` #5 (health/version endpoints)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/issues/5) and [#8 (broken docker-build)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/issues/8). [PR #14](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/boot-service/pull/14) adds a `CONTAINER_PROG` Makefile variable for runtime flexibility.
+- **WireGuard reconciliation lands in metadata-service:** [`metadata-service` PR #13](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/13) implements WireGuard peer reconciliation and tests — open, with companion issues [#10 (reconciliation runtime)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/issues/10) and [#11 (TokenSmith-backed dynamic SMD authentication)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/issues/11) opened the same day.
+- **Magellan input-format work:** [`magellan` PR #130](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/pull/130) — `collect` accepting input in specified format — open, addressing [`magellan` #128 from February](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/magellan/issues/128).
+- **Community governance items close:** [`community` #43 (Fabrica replacements for legacy services agenda)](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/community/issues/43) closed, and [PR #44](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/community/pull/44) adds a "TSC Agenda Item" label to the agenda template.

+# OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest
+
+A productive week with `fru-tracker` reaching v0.2.4, `coresmd` v0.6.2 landing multi-subnet DHCP, and a new HPC-VM RFD opening up. Also some real SMD bugs surface around `RedfishEndpoint` parsing.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **fru-tracker v0.2.4 + reconciliation enhancements:** [`fru-tracker` v0.2.4](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/releases/tag/v0.2.4) and [v0.2.3](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/releases/tag/v0.2.3) ship. Highlights: [PR #19](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/19) (reconciliation logic for devices without serial numbers, from bmcdonald3) and [PR #20](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/20) (Docker runtime + SQLite pathing fixes). Plus [PR #21](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/fru-tracker/pull/21) updating build automation.
+- **coresmd v0.6.2 with multi-subnet DHCP:** [`coresmd` v0.6.2](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/releases/tag/v0.6.2) ships [PR #61 from new contributor sujit-jadhav](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/coresmd/pull/61) — multi-subnet DHCP support for multi-RAC deployments.
+- **HPC-VM RFD opened:** [`roadmap` #127](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/127) from alexlovelltroy — OpenCHAMI-managed templated HPC virtual machines. Connects to the [Single System Image RFD](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/roadmap/issues/125) from last week.
+- **OpenHPC PR integration report:** [`release` #54](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/release/issues/54) from adrianreber documents running OpenCHAMI in OpenHPC pull requests. Cross-community signal worth noting.
+- **SMD V2 RedfishEndpoint parsing bug surfaced:** [`smd` #91](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/issues/91) from alexlovelltroy — V2 parser inserts NodeBMC Components but never creates the matching ComponentEndpointManager records. davidallendj's [PR #92](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/pull/92) addresses it by adding BMC Manager `ComponentEndpoint`s and `ManagerInfo` to `parseRedfishEndpointDataV2`.
+- **power-control bugs and ARM disable:** [`power-control` #66](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/issues/66) — updateComponentMap never refreshing existing hwStateMap entries — closed. cjh1 lands [PR #67](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/67) (allow SMD metadata updates), and rainest opens [PR #68](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/power-control/pull/68) to temporarily disable ARM builds pending a fix.
+- **inventory-service ARM + schema validation:** shunr-hpe lands [PR #24](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/24) (ARM in goreleaser build) and opens [PR #23](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/inventory-service/pull/23) for JSON-schema-based validation.
+- **metadata-service SMD integration with dynamic tokens:** [`metadata-service` PR #14](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/metadata-service/pull/14) from alexlovelltroy adds an SMD integration service with caching and dynamic token support — implementing the TokenSmith-dynamic-auth feature opened last week.
+- **ochami CI improvements:** synackd lands [PR #85](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/85) (auto-generated PR build containers) and [PR #87](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/ochami/pull/87) (cleanup.yaml logic hotfix).
+- **Long-standing custom-fields question closed:** [`smd` #84](https://github.com/OpenCHAMI/smd/issues/84) from Katakam-Rakesh — extra_config nodes.yaml storage + cloud-init exposure — closed.
