ipmctl contract action

actions/test.ipmctl-contract.sh performs repository-local validation of the Debian 13 ipmctl feature. It checks:

• the two-mode install and verify runner interface;
• exact ipmctl and EDK2 tags, commits, and expected binary version;
• all three vendored patch SHA-256 values and sole target declarations;
• strict preimage, apply, reverse-check, postimage, and diff-check tasks;
• unmanaged-install refusal, managed receipt, and idempotence gates;
• read-only verification and LLM live-ipmctl integration;
• removal of the old source-profile, inventory, goal, and hosted-build paths;
• Bash syntax, YAML parsing, embedded shell syntax, and Ansible syntax when the validation environment provides Ansible.

bash actions/test.ipmctl-contract.sh

For a minimal local check without Ansible syntax validation:

bash actions/test.ipmctl-contract.sh --shell-only

The action does not clone source, compile ipmctl, install packages, run PMem discovery, or change PMem state. Exact-source compilation and the four read-only hardware probes are acceptance steps on the Debian 13 PMem host.
