Add comprehensive link creation templates documentation covering:
- Batch link creation workflow with HITL confirmations
- Link template schema with pattern-based connectivity
- Common topology patterns (Spine-Leaf, Ring, Mesh, Star, Three-tier)
- Intelligent port allocation strategies (round-robin, optimized)
- Performance benchmarks showing 99.9% token savings for large topologies
- Complete workflow example combining all three template systems
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
Add error_handler utility to detect and format HTML error responses
from misconfigured API base URLs. When the API returns HTML (indicating
configuration issues), users now see a helpful message instead of raw
HTML content.
This change makes AI Copilot features optional to reduce installation
size and support restricted environments.
Changes:
- Split AI dependencies into ai-requirements.txt
- Add ai-copilot optional dependency in pyproject.toml
- Add import protection in gns3server/agent/__init__.py
- Return 501 for AI endpoints when dependencies not installed
- Add gns3server-uninstall-ai-copilot command for cleanup
- Update README with installation and uninstallation instructions
Installation:
- Basic: pip install gns3-server
- With AI: pip install gns3-server[ai-copilot]
- Development: pip install gns3-server[ai-copilot,dev]
Uninstallation:
- gns3server-uninstall-ai-copilot
Refactored test assertions for Huawei CE, Ruijie, and VPCS telnet drivers to compare only class names instead of full module paths. This change reduces test brittleness when classes are imported via different module paths while maintaining validation of correct class registration in CLASS_MAPPER and CLASS_MAPPER_BASE.
Refactor test assertions to compare classes by module and name instead of direct object comparison. This ensures tests remain reliable when classes are imported via different paths, preventing false failures due to import variations. Changes applied to Huawei CE, Ruijie, and VPCS telnet driver tests.
Changed test assertions from `assertIs` to `assertEqual` for class mapper comparisons in Huawei CE, Ruijie, and VPCS telnet driver tests. This ensures proper equality checking rather than identity checking, which is more appropriate for class comparisons in these test cases.
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.
assertIs instead of assertEqual for class comparison
Fix test failures in custom Netmiko driver tests by using assertIs instead
of assertEqual when comparing class objects registered in CLASS_MAPPER.
The issue occurred because test files add project root to sys.path, allowing
the same module to be imported with different paths (e.g., gns3_copilot...
vs gns3server.agent.gns3_copilot...). assertEqual compares class __module__
attributes which differ based on import path, while assertIs checks object
identity which correctly identifies them as the same class.
Modified files:
- test_huawei_ce.py
- test_ruijie_telnet.py
- test_vpcs_telnet.py
Update the import statement for Nornir from `nornir.core.nornir` to `nornir.core` to align with the latest Nornir library structure and avoid potential import errors. This ensures compatibility with updated Nornir versions.
Remove all SPICE WebSocket-related code due to frontend dependency issues
with spice-html5 library (missing RSAKey/BigInteger implementations).
Changes:
- Remove start_spice_websocket_console() from BaseNode
- Remove SPICE WebSocket endpoints from QEMU and Docker compute APIs
- Remove SPICE WebSocket proxy endpoint from controller API
- Remove WebSocket subprotocol handling from authentication layers
- Remove SPICE documentation
The SPICE console type remains functional for direct connections,
but WebSocket proxy support has been removed.

Add WebSocket-based console support for SPICE protocol, enabling
browser-based graphical console access with enhanced features
like clipboard sharing, USB redirection, and audio streaming.
Changes:
- Add start_spice_websocket_console() method in BaseNode for SPICE
WebSocket to TCP bridging with bidirectional binary forwarding
- Add /console/spice WebSocket endpoints in QEMU and Docker compute APIs
- Add /console/spice WebSocket proxy endpoint in controller API
- Add comprehensive API documentation in docs/features/
Supported console types:
- spice: Basic SPICE protocol support
- spice+agent: SPICE with spice-vdagent for enhanced features
Architecture:
- Browser WebSocket → Controller (JWT + RBAC) → Compute (Basic Auth)
- No external websockify processes required
- Consistent with existing VNC WebSocket implementation
Add VNC console WebSocket endpoints for Docker and QEMU nodes:
- Add /console/vnc WebSocket endpoint to compute API (Docker & QEMU)
- Add /console/vnc WebSocket endpoint to controller API
- Implement start_vnc_websocket_console() in BaseNode
- Forward VNC WebSocket traffic between controller and compute layers
The implementation provides bidirectional WebSocket to TCP forwarding
for VNC protocol (RFB) connections, allowing browser-based VNC console
access to containers and VMs.
