It removes implicit Catalog refreshes, turns guest bootstrap failures into actionable per-node results, and simplifies the CLI without changing the Pigsty Inventory or fixed-IP deployment model.</p> <h2 id="what-changed">What changed </h2> <ul> <li><code>up</code>, <code>plan</code>, and ordinary <code>image</code> commands use one active local Catalog snapshot and never fetch Catalog metadata implicitly. <code>farrow update</code> explicitly fetches the configured repository; <code>image sync</code> activates an exact URL or file.</li> <li>Guest bootstrap writes an atomic failure stage. Partial operations report every failed node, stage, and error, and readiness failures point directly to <code>farrow logs &lt;node&gt;</code>.</li> <li>Already-running guests can be rechecked without restarting QEMU. A partial lifecycle still rebuilds the SSH client configuration from every committed node.</li> <li>Netplan matches deterministic MAC addresses without renaming interfaces. <code>vm_disks[].fs: auto</code> prefers XFS and falls back to ext4 when necessary.</li> <li>The redundant <code>ss</code> command and ambiguous root/flag shorthands are removed. <code>image reset</code> replaces <code>reset-manifest</code>, which remains an alias.</li> </ul> <h2 id="verification-boundary">Verification boundary </h2> <p>Source commit <code>da6d02426da93c677c94c67fec4eb4fcecf4766a</code> passed the complete local source gate and a full GoReleaser snapshot: unit and race tests, vet, Staticcheck, <code>govulncheck</code>, four target builds, image-pipeline and installer boundaries, archive/package parity, dependency licenses, SBOMs, and native Linux package verification. The tag workflow repeated those checks before the Release was made public.</p> https://barn.pgsty.com/blog/design/repo-yaml-catalog-json/ Sat, 29 Aug 2026 19:00:00 +0800 https://barn.pgsty.com/blog/design/repo-yaml-catalog-json/ <div class="td-callout td-callout--note" role="note"> <div class="td-callout__title"><i class="td-callout__icon fa-solid fa-circle-info" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="td-callout__label">Note</span></div> <div class="td-callout__body"> <p><strong>Renamed 2026-09-29:</strong> names now follow the unreleased Barn 0.9.0 candidate.
