+# 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

+No releases this week.
+
+## 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.
+- Plan upcoming OpenCHAMI Developer Summit @ UCL 2026 logistics.

+# 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

+
+## 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.
