v9.8.0 Controlled Source VM Clone

v9.8.0-controlled-source-vm-clone

v9.8.0-controlled-source-vm-clone adds a lab-only controlled clone path for environments where Prism exposes a golden VM but no Image Service disk image.

Highlights

• Platform Admins can approve discovered VM inventory records as bounded source VM clone candidates.
• Controlled AHV lifecycle selection now supports either an approved image or an approved source VM.
• Prism Central connection tests now discover VMs as read-only inventory.
• Lab configuration accepts NDC_AHV_ALLOWED_SOURCE_VM_UUID or NDC_AHV_PE_ALLOWED_SOURCE_VM_UUID as an alternative to image UUIDs.
• Clone submission uses explicit Prism clone endpoints and records source-VM evidence in the lifecycle event ledger.
• Dedicated smoke:ahv-source-vm-clone command validates the approved-source-VM path without falling back to Image Service create.

Safety Boundary

• Source VM clone remains disabled unless APP_ENV=lab, real AHV adapter, controlled provisioning, lifecycle switches, approved NDC scope, lifecycle proof, and authorization envelope are all present.
• The selected source VM must be approved in NDC and must match the private allowed source VM UUID.
• No credential material is persisted in inventory records, audit metadata, frontend state, docs, or exported evidence.
