Status: planned. The platform is modeled and staged; the import and
inventory-serving phases have not landed.
One authoritative model of what exists — so agents and automation stop guessing
from three half-current lists.
Infrastructure state lives in several places at once: the IaC that provisions it,
hand-maintained inventory, and DNS. When those drift, automation acts on stale
facts. A source-of-truth (SSoT) platform collapses them into one model of
devices, addresses, and their relationships that both people and agents can query.
The migration story
The platform earns trust before it holds any, in three deliberate phases:
Read-only import. The platform imports existing state from the IaC and
current inventory and presents it for review. It is a mirror at this stage —
authoritative of nothing, safe to compare against reality.
Reconcile. Drift between the imported model and the live estate is resolved
in the model, so it becomes the accurate picture rather than another stale one.
Serve. Only once the model is trusted does automation read from it —
dynamic inventory for configuration runs, and answers for agents that previously
scraped several sources.
Phases 1–3 are as-built pending: the read-only import, reconciliation jobs, and
inventory-serving integration are staged but not yet live.
What the agent gets
A single query surface for “what exists and how it is wired,” instead of stitching
together IaC state, inventory files, and DNS. Credentials for any agent integration
come from the secrets path for agents, injected at
launch.
