This enables an operator to override Ironic's autogenerated cleaning step functionality, instead providing a runbook to be used for automated cleaning. Operators will be able to configure runbooks globally, by resource class, and as a node override. Configuration exists to enable/disable this functionality at the will of the deployer, and defaults to maintaining existing behavior. Runbooks are also validated, by default, against node traits and will fail cleaning on a mismatch; this behavior is also configurable. Unit tests generated and fixed by the various different AI agents I've been trying out through the lifetime of this change, then heavily edited.

Ironic
Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
