Add comprehensive documentation for LLM model providers:
- Provider list with default base URLs and requirements
- Examples for different providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Azure)
- Guidelines on when to specify base_url
- Future enhancements section for optional base_url field
remove unused reserved_jsonb fields
Remove the three reserved JSONB fields (reserved_jsonb_1, reserved_jsonb_2, reserved_jsonb_3) from the llm_model_configs
table. These fields were planned for future use but are no longer needed.
Optimize GNS3StartNodeTool with device-type-aware wait time calculation
to significantly reduce startup time for fast devices (VPCS, IOU).
Changes:
- Add NODE_STARTUP_TIME configuration
* VPCS: 15s base + 2s per additional node
* IOU: 25s base + 3s per additional node
* Other devices: 120s base + 10s per additional node (conservative)
- Add calculate_startup_time() function
* Detects device types via node.node_type
* Uses fast startup time if all nodes are VPCS/IOU
* Uses conservative time if any slow device present
* Logs selected strategy and detected types
- Optimize GNS3StartNodeTool._run() method
* Retrieve node info (including node_type) before starting
* Calculate wait time based on detected device types
* Send start commands after info retrieval
* Use calculated wait time for progress bar
* Reuse collected node objects for status retrieval
Performance improvements:
- 1 VPCS node: 140s → 15s (89% faster)
- 5 VPCS nodes: 180s → 23s (87% faster)
- 1 IOU node: 140s → 25s (82% faster)
- 5 IOU nodes: 180s → 37s (79% faster)
- Mixed VPCS/IOU: 180s → 33s (82% faster)
Documentation:
- Update node-control-tools.md with dynamic wait time strategy
- Add device type comparison table
- Document performance improvements
- Update changelog
Code quality:
- All comments in English
- flake8 check passed
- mypy check passed

Security Enhancement:
- API keys are now always filtered to null in all LLM config API responses
- Created LLMModelConfigDataWithoutSecret schema for response validation
- Added _filter_api_key_from_config() helper in API routes
- Modified repository to always hide api_key in get_user_effective_configs()
- Update/create operations still accept and store api_key securely
Documentation Updates:
- Updated API key visibility section to reflect new security policy
- Updated all response examples to show api_key as null
- Marked max_tokens field as reserved for future use
- Added "Reserved Fields" section explaining unused fields
This defense-in-depth approach prevents API keys from being leaked through
logs, browser devtools, or network monitoring.

practice for multi-vendor device support
Refactor Nornir configuration to use host-level connection_options
instead of dynamic groups, following Nornir's configuration priority
model (host > group > defaults).
**Problem:**
Previous implementation used first device's configuration for all
devices, causing Cisco devices to use Huawei driver and vice versa.
**Solution:**
- Each host now has device-specific connection_options at host level
- Single generic "network_devices" group for shared settings
- Host-level config automatically overrides group-level config
**Changes:**
- Remove: _get_nornir_groups_config() helper function
- Remove: _get_nornir_group() helper function
- Simplify: _initialize_nornir() to use single generic group
- Update: get_gns3_device_port.py() to return host-level config
- Reserve: platform field for future NAPALM/scrapli plugin support
**Benefits:**
- Cleaner code structure (no dynamic group creation)
- Follows Nornir best practice ("configuration proximity")
- Easy to extend with new device types
- Properly handles mixed-vendor topologies
Add comprehensive multi-vendor support for GNS3 network automation,
including a custom Netmiko driver for Huawei CloudEngine devices.
Features:
- Custom HuaweiTelnetCE driver for GNS3 emulation (no authentication)
- Auto-commit before exit to prevent [Y/N/C] prompts
- Dynamic device type detection from GNS3 node tags
- Support for both Cisco IOS and Huawei devices
- Proper VRP command handling (system-view, return confirmation)
Implementation:
- New package: utils/custom_netmiko/
- huawei_ce.py: Huawei CloudEngine driver
- tests/test_huawei_ce.py: Unit tests (9/9 passing)
- README.md: Driver development guide
- Updated tools for multi-vendor support:
- display_tools_nornir.py: Dynamic group generation
- config_tools_nornir.py: Multi-vendor config commands
- get_gns3_device_port.py: Device port extraction
- Documentation: multi-vendor-device-support.md
Limitations:
- huawei_telnet_ce driver requires devices without authentication
- For devices with username/password, use standard huawei_telnet driver

Simplify the documentation structure in `README.md` by removing the
`todo/` directory reference and detailed design documents for planned
features. Consolidate future roadmap items into a high-level summary
under "Future Enhancements".
Update `node-control-tools.md` to include documentation for new topology
management tools (create node, create link, get template, rename node)
and reflect updated API imports for `Link` support.
- Add GNS3StopNodeTool and GNS3SuspendNodeTool to lab automation assistant mode
- Update tools_v2 __init__.py to export new node control tools
- Document node control tools in README with key features and implementation status
- Update last modified date in documentation
The new tools provide complete node lifecycle control for automated lab workflows, including stopping nodes for shutdown and suspending nodes while preserving state.
- Add README.md with documentation overview and structure guide
- Move implemented designs to docs/gns3-copilot/implemented/:
- chat-api.md (from ai-chat-api-design.md)
- llm-model-configs.md (from llm-model-configs-api.md)
- command-security.md
- context-window-management.md
- Add Jinja2 configuration template system design documents:
- jinja2-config-templates-system.md
- config-templates-implementation-guide.md
- ai-prompting-for-config-templates.md
- Remove obsolete documents (acl-web-ui, Chinese RBAC doc)
This reorganization makes it clearer which features are implemented
vs planned, following the established documentation structure.
