- New lab-advanced.yaml (3-node 6/4/4 core heterogeneous cluster) and
lab-replace.yaml (single replacement node) for advanced migration and
cluster lifecycle testing
- New notes/clustering-guide.md with full clustering walkthrough: cluster
formation, storage pool conflict fix, join workflow, VM live migration
with limits.cpu range fix, multi-vCPU test results (2/3/4 vCPUs),
edge cases (I/O, memory, concurrent), and node replacement lifecycle
- Updated CLAUDE.md with clustering docs, rebalancing config keys,
cluster enable syntax fix (TWO args not one), cluster remove syntax,
agent reconnect timing (3-4s not 1-2s), and lifecycle procedure
- proxmox.yaml.example for Proxmox connection config reference

Implements the first wave of lab validation infrastructure:
incusos-proxmox enhancements:
- --doctor flag: standalone environment health check (tool versions,
IncusOS CDN availability, Proxmox connectivity). Works with or
without a config file.
- --cleanup --deep: extended cleanup that also removes seed ISOs,
IncusOS ISOs from Proxmox storage, matching incus remotes, and
the local ISO cache (~/.cache/incusos-proxmox/iso-cache/).
- --cleanup-all: pool-wide cleanup that destroys ALL VMs with the
[incusos-lab:managed] marker in the configured resource pool.
Requires a pool to be set in config for safety scoping.
New script -- lab-test:
- Guided lab validation with 5 phases: deploy & verify, single-node
workloads (container + VM lifecycle), cluster formation (enable +
join via incus remotes), cluster workloads (scheduler-placed +
targeted), and migration & evacuation (stop/move + evacuate/restore).
- Interactive by default with --yes for unattended runs.
- Reports PASS/FAIL/SKIP per test with a summary.
- Supports --dry-run, --skip-deploy, --cleanup, per-phase execution.
- Reads the same YAML config format as incusos-proxmox.
New example configs:
- lab-cluster.yaml: 3-node Incus cluster (VMID 900+) for testing
clustering, workloads, and migration.
- lab-oc.yaml: Operations Center + 3 Incus nodes (VMID 910+) for
testing OC-managed provisioning and cluster formation.
Documentation:
- CLAUDE.md: added clustering workflow (incus cluster enable/add/join
via remotes), lab-test overview, Operations Center CLI notes,
doctor and cleanup feature descriptions.
- README.md: added lab-test section with usage/phases/options, doctor
check docs, deep cleanup docs, new example files in listing.
- TESTING.md: added full lab validation guide (quick start, phase-by-
phase testing, manual cluster formation alternative, OC lab workflow
with CLI setup and provisioning steps), cleanup instructions.
Not yet tested against live infrastructure -- next step is to deploy
lab-cluster.yaml, add incus remotes, and run lab-test end-to-end.
Known areas to validate: cluster join syntax with remotes, VM nested
virt support, evacuation behavior, apply_defaults consistency across
cluster members.

Major changes to incusos-proxmox and incusos-seed to achieve fully automated
IncusOS deployment to Proxmox VE. Fixes multiple blockers discovered during
testing: FAT→ISO 9660 seed format (CD-ROM label detection), preseed YAML
structure (Go yaml:",inline"), disk target auto-detection, install completion
monitoring via blockstat disk I/O, install media ejection, and ARP-based IP
detection for the agent-less IncusOS.
Key changes:
- incusos-seed: add --format iso using genisoimage, fix preseed structure
- incusos-proxmox: ISO seeds, blockstat install detection, media ejection,
ARP-based IP lookup, force_reboot requirement
- Documentation: comprehensive updates to CLAUDE.md, README.md, TESTING.md
- Examples: fix preseed.certificates path in all YAML examples
- Notes: full session progress with all bugs found and fixed
