YueGuobin db164e9d41 feat(copilot): add multi-vendor device support with custom Huawei driver 
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

Key Features:

  • Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses
  • Project-level session isolation
  • Session management (CRUD operations)
  • Statistics tracking (messages, tokens, LLM calls)
  • User-level LLM configuration

Status: ✅ Implemented

LLM Model Configs (implemented/llm-model-configs.md)

Multi-level LLM model configuration system.

Key Features:

  • System-wide defaults
  • Group-level configurations
  • User-level overrides
  • Runtime parameter adjustment
  • Model provider abstraction

Status: ✅ Implemented

Command Security (implemented/command-security.md)

Security framework for AI-generated commands.

Key Features:

  • Command filtering and validation
  • Dangerous operation detection
  • HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) confirmations
  • Audit logging

Status: ✅ Implemented

Context Window Management (implemented/context-window-management.md)

Optimization strategies for handling large project contexts.

Key Features:

  • Intelligent content filtering
  • Token usage optimization
  • Summary generation
  • Context compression

Status: ✅ Implemented

Node Control Tools (implemented/node-control-tools.md)

Tools for controlling network device lifecycle in GNS3 projects.

Key Features:

  • Start nodes with progress tracking
  • Quick start for automated workflows
  • Stop nodes for lab shutdown
  • Batch operations support
  • Mode-based access control

Status: ✅ Implemented

Multi-Vendor Device Support (implemented/multi-vendor-device-support.md)

Multi-vendor network device support with custom Netmiko driver for Huawei devices.

Key Features:

  • Custom HuaweiTelnetCE driver for GNS3 emulation (no authentication)
  • Cisco IOS Telnet support
  • Dynamic device type detection from GNS3 tags
  • Automatic Nornir group generation
  • VRP-specific command handling (system-view, return confirmation)

Tested Vendors:

  • Cisco IOS (Telnet)
  • Huawei CloudEngine (Telnet, custom driver)

Status: ✅ Implemented

Future Enhancements

The following features are currently under consideration or development:

  • Configuration Templates: Template-based configuration generation for multi-vendor network devices
  • Vision-based Topology Creation: Create network topologies from images/diagrams
  • Enhanced HITL Workflows: Advanced Human-in-the-Loop confirmation patterns
  • Web UI Enhancements: Improved management interfaces

Contributing

When adding new documentation:

  1. Implementation: Add documentation to implemented/ when feature is complete
  2. Naming: Use concise names like {feature}.md
