Minor Changes

• The dependency on ansible-pylibssh (for ssh_type=libssh / network_cli) is now ansible-pylibssh>=1.4.0 in requirements.txt, raised from the previous >=0.2.0 requirement. Installations still on ansible-pylibssh 0.x or 1.x below 1.4.0 must upgrade to use the libssh connection path with this collection release.
• libssh connection - When log_path is set (e.g. via ANSIBLE_LOG_PATH or log_path in ansible.cfg), the plugin now routes ansible-pylibssh (libssh) logs into the same Ansible log file. Log level is derived from display.verbosity using Python standard logging: verbosity 0 -> WARNING, 1-2 -> INFO, 3+ -> DEBUG. This allows SSH/libssh debug and trace output to appear in the configured log file for troubleshooting without changing ansible-pylibssh configuration manually.
• network_cli - The in-collection paramiko path supports the same host key policy behavior (including host_key_auto_add and known_hosts handling) and persistent connection caching as the previous ansible-core paramiko integration.
• network_cli - When ssh_type is set to paramiko, the connection plugin now uses an in-collection paramiko implementation instead of loading ansible-core's paramiko connection plugin. This allows network_cli to work with versions of ansible-core, where the paramiko connection plugin was removed.

Deprecated Features

• network_cli - The in-collection paramiko support (used when ssh_type is paramiko) is a compatibility layer for environments where ansible-core's paramiko connection is no longer available. This layer is deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2028-02-01. Migrate to ssh_type=libssh by installing the ansible-pylibssh package.

Bugfixes

• filter plugins - Add plugin_routing redirects for ipaddr, ipv4, and ipv6 to ansible.utils so short names work when ansible.netcommon is in the play's collection list (ansible-collections/ansible.utils#404).
• filter plugins - Convert filter arguments to native Python types before AnsibleArgSpecValidator so filters work with Ansible 2.19+ lazy containers that cannot be deep-copied (e.g. vlan_parser, vlan_expander, hash_salt, type5_pw, comp_type5, parse_cli, parse_cli_textfsm, parse_xml, pop_ace).
• libssh connection - Fixed test_libssh_put_file unit test so the put_file code path (used by net_put, copy module, and other file transfer over libssh) is properly tested in CI. The test now sets connection options and mocks Session so put_file does not trigger a real connection attempt with an unset host (was failing with "Hostname required").
• network action plugin - Fall back when remove_internal_keys is not importable from ansible.vars.clean (e.g. some ansible-core builds), so direct module execution still cleans module return data.
• network_cli - Fixed file transfer (net_put / net_get) when ssh_type=libssh. For put_file, no longer call_connect_uncached() before delegating to the libssh connection the libssh plugin's put_file() calls _connect() internally. For fetch_file, call _connect() then fetch_file() for libssh instead of _connect_uncached(), so connection caching and the correct flow are used. Paramiko branch unchanged (still uses _connect_uncached() for scp/sftp).
