@@ -6,129 +6,154 @@ Simple, portable Sparrowdo testing framework for Rocky Linux.
 
 This framework provides automated testing for Rocky Linux:
 
-- **Simple Scripts**: 4 standalone bash scripts, easily portable
 - **VM Isolation**: Each test runs in a fresh VM
 - **Parallel Execution**: Run multiple tests concurrently
 - **Fast Provisioning**: Linked clones (copy-on-write) for speed
-- **Jenkins Ready**: Simple Jenkinsfile orchestrates scripts
+- **Bootstrap Once**: Golden image approach saves time
+
+Two implementations available:
+- **Ansible**: Provider-aware, structured roles, better for automation (recommended)
+- **Shell Scripts**: Simple scripts, easy to integrate anywhere (libvirt only)
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 ```bash
-sudo dnf install -y qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install guestfs-tools rakudo
+sudo dnf install -y qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install guestfs-tools rakudo ansible
 sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
 sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami)
-
 ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ""
 ```
 
 ## Quick Start
 
-### Manual Test Run
+### Ansible (Recommended)
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Download base image (cached automatically)
+cd ansible
+
+# 1. Add your tests to vars/test-definitions.yml
+# 2. Build golden image (interactive prompt for Rocky version)
+ansible-playbook playbooks/libvirt/build-golden-image.yml
+
+# 3. Run all tests
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml
+
+# 4. Run specific test
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -e "test_filter=Sparky_Knot"
+```
+
+### Shell Scripts
+
+```bash
+# Download base image
 BASE=$(./scripts/download-image.sh \
   https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/images/x86_64/Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base.latest.x86_64.qcow2)
 
-# 2. Build golden image (includes Sparrowdo bootstrap)
+# Build golden image
 ./scripts/build-golden.sh "$BASE" /var/lib/libvirt/images/golden.qcow2
 
-# 3. Run test
+# Run test
 ./scripts/run-test.sh my-test \
   https://github.com/your-org/test-repo.git \
   /var/lib/libvirt/images/golden.qcow2
-
-# 4. Cleanup
-./scripts/cleanup-all.sh
 ```
 
-### Jenkins
-
-1. Create new Pipeline job in Jenkins
-2. Point to this repository
-3. Use `Jenkinsfile.simple`
-4. Configure parameters:
-   - **QCOW2_URL**: Rocky Linux base image URL
-   - **TEST_REPOS**: One test repo URL per line
-   - **MAX_PARALLEL**: Number of concurrent tests
-5. Build with Parameters
-
 ## How It Works
 
 ```
-Download QCOW2 → Build Golden Image → Run Tests in Parallel → Cleanup
-                 (includes bootstrap)   (isolated VMs)
+Download QCOW2 → Build Golden Image → Run Tests → Cleanup
+                 (bootstrap once)     (parallel)
 ```
 
 **Golden Image Creation:**
 1. Copy base QCOW2 image
-2. Install Raku, Sparrowdo, dependencies via virt-customize
+2. Install Raku, Sparrowdo via virt-customize
 3. Create `rocky` user with sudo and SSH keys
 4. Boot VM and run `sparrowdo --bootstrap` (once)
-5. Shutdown VM, golden image ready
+5. Shutdown, save as golden image
 
 **Test Execution:**
-1. Provision VM as linked clone (1 second)
+1. Provision VM as linked clone (~1 second)
 2. Clone test repository
-3. Run `sparrowdo --no_sudo` with test
+3. Run `sparrowdo --no_sudo`
 4. Cleanup VM
 
-## Scripts
-
-### download-image.sh
-```bash
-./scripts/download-image.sh <url> [output_dir] [force]
-```
-Downloads and caches QCOW2 images. Returns path to cached image.
-
-### build-golden.sh
-```bash
-./scripts/build-golden.sh <base_image> <golden_image> [ssh_pub_key]
-```
-Creates golden image from base QCOW2. Installs Raku/Sparrowdo and bootstraps.
-
-### run-test.sh
-```bash
-./scripts/run-test.sh <test_name> <test_repo_url> <golden_image> [ssh_key]
-```
-Provisions VM, clones test repo, runs Sparrowdo test, cleans up.
-
-### provision_vm.sh
-```bash
-./scripts/provision_vm.sh <vm_name> <golden_image> [timeout]
-```
-Creates VM as linked clone, starts it, returns IP address.
-
-### cleanup_vm.sh
-```bash
-./scripts/cleanup_vm.sh <vm_name>
-```
-Destroys VM and removes disk image.
-
-### cleanup-all.sh
-```bash
-./scripts/cleanup-all.sh [pattern]
-```
-Emergency cleanup for orphaned VMs matching pattern.

+- `inventory/group_vars/azure.yml` - Azure-specific (future)
 
-Both have SSH keys injected from `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`.
+**Test Definitions:**
+- `vars/test-definitions.yml` - Centralized test repository list
 
-### VM Resources
-
-Default per VM (edit `provision_vm.sh` to change):
-- Memory: 2048 MB
-- CPUs: 2
-- Disk: Linked clone (only diffs stored)
-
-## Portability
-
-All logic is in standalone shell scripts. Easy to integrate with:
-
-**GitHub Actions:**
-```yaml
-- name: Run test
-  run: ./scripts/run-test.sh my-test $REPO $GOLDEN
-```
-
-**GitLab CI:**
-```yaml
-test:
-  script:
-    - ./scripts/run-test.sh my-test $REPO $GOLDEN
-```
-
-**Windmill:**
-```typescript
-await bash.run(`./scripts/run-test.sh ${name} ${repo} ${golden}`)
-```
-
-**Manually:**
+**Example override:**
 ```bash
-./scripts/run-test.sh my-test https://github.com/org/test.git golden.qcow2
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -e "vm_memory=4096"
 ```
 
+### Shell Scripts
+Pass parameters directly:
+```bash
+./scripts/provision_vm.sh <vm_name> <golden_image> [timeout]
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+- [Ansible Guide](docs/ANSIBLE-GUIDE.md) - Complete Ansible documentation
+- [Bootstrap Approach](docs/BOOTSTRAP-APPROACH.md) - How golden image works
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Ansible Implementation
+- **Provider-aware** - Supports libvirt, AWS, Azure (cloud providers in progress)
+- **Interactive prompts** - No need to remember image URLs
+- **Test definitions** - Centralized test list in `vars/test-definitions.yml`
+- **Result tracking** - Shows passed/failed tests with summary report
+- **Automatic cleanup** - Infrastructure cleaned up after each test
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### List VMs
 ```bash
+# List VMs
 virsh -c qemu:///system list --all
-```
 
-### Get VM IP
-```bash
+# Get VM IP
 virsh -c qemu:///system domifaddr <vm-name>
-```
-
-### SSH to VM
-```bash
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa rocky@<vm-ip>
-```
-
-### View Console
-```bash
-virsh -c qemu:///system console <vm-name>
-# Press Ctrl+] to exit
-```
-
-### Check Network
-```bash
-virsh -c qemu:///system net-list --all
-virsh -c qemu:///system net-start default  # If stopped
-```
-
-### Force Cleanup
-```bash
-./scripts/cleanup-all.sh
-rm -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/golden-*.qcow2
-```
-
-### Bootstrap Fails
-```bash
-# Check if VM is accessible
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa rocky@<vm-ip>
-
-# Manually bootstrap
-sparrowdo --host <vm-ip> --ssh_user rocky --bootstrap --color
-```
-
-## Performance
-
-### Image Caching
-- First download: ~5-10 minutes (2GB)
-- Subsequent builds: 2 seconds (cached)
-
-### Golden Image Build
-- Base preparation: ~2-3 minutes (virt-customize)
-- Bootstrap: ~5-10 minutes (sparrowdo --bootstrap)
-- Total: ~7-13 minutes (once per build)
-
-### Test Execution
-- VM provision: ~30 seconds (boot + IP)
-- Test runtime: Varies by test
-- VM cleanup: ~2 seconds
-
-### Example: 70 Tests
-- Golden image: 10 minutes (once)
-- 70 tests @ 3 concurrent: ~15 minutes
-- **Total: 25 minutes**
-
-Compare to bootstrapping each VM: 70 × 7 min = 490 minutes (8+ hours)!
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Custom Golden Image
-```bash
-# Create custom prep script
-cat > custom-prep.sh << 'EOF'
-#!/bin/bash
-dnf install -y postgresql-server nginx
-systemctl enable postgresql nginx
-EOF
-
-# Use virt-customize directly
-sudo virt-customize -a golden.qcow2 \
-    --run custom-prep.sh \
-    --selinux-relabel
-```
-
-### Testing Beta Images
-```bash
-BASE=$(./scripts/download-image.sh \
-  https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/images/x86_64/Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base-9.5-beta.x86_64.qcow2 \
-  /var/lib/libvirt/images true)  # Force re-download
-```
-
-### Running Subset of Tests
-```bash
-# In Jenkins, edit TEST_REPOS parameter
-https://github.com/org/test1.git
-https://github.com/org/test3.git
-# (omit test2)
-```
-
-### Debugging Test Failures
-```bash
-# Run test manually and keep VM alive
-VM_NAME="debug-vm-$$"
-VM_IP=$(./scripts/provision_vm.sh "$VM_NAME" golden.qcow2 60 | tail -1)
 
 # SSH to VM
-ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa rocky@$VM_IP
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa rocky@<vm-ip>
 
-# Manually run test steps
-cd /tmp
-git clone https://github.com/org/test.git
-cd test
-sparrowdo --host localhost --ssh_user rocky --no_sudo --sparrowfile main.raku
+# Ansible verbose mode
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -vvv
 
-# Cleanup when done
-./scripts/cleanup_vm.sh "$VM_NAME"
+# Run specific test
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -e "test_filter=Sparky_Knot"
 ```

+
+## Roles
+
+| Role | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `download_image` | Download and cache QCOW2 images |
+| `golden_image` | Create golden image with virt-customize |
+| `bootstrap_sparrowdo` | Bootstrap Sparrowdo on golden image |
+| `provision_vm` | Provision VM as linked clone |
+| `run_test` | Execute Sparrowdo test |
+| `cleanup_vm` | Clean up VMs and disks |
+
+## Playbooks
+
+### Provider-Agnostic
+| Playbook | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `run-tests.yml` | Run tests from test-definitions.yml (works on any provider) |
+
+### Libvirt-Specific
+| Playbook | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `libvirt/build-golden-image.yml` | Build golden image with interactive prompts |
+
+### Future
+- `aws/` - AWS-specific setup playbooks
+- `azure/` - Azure-specific setup playbooks
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Provider Groups
+
+The inventory is organized by provider type:
+- **libvirt** - Local VM testing (requires golden image)
+- **aws** - AWS EC2 testing (uses AMIs, ready for implementation)
+- **azure** - Azure VM testing (uses VM images, ready for implementation)
+
+### Test Definitions
+
+Edit `vars/test-definitions.yml` to add/modify tests:
+```yaml
+tests:
+  - name: "Sparky_Knot"
+    repo_url: "https://git.resf.org/testing/Sparky_Knot.git"
+    # Optional: branch, timeout
+```
+
+### Provider-Specific Settings
+
+- **all.yml** - Settings for all providers (SSH, Sparrowdo, etc.)
+- **libvirt.yml** - VM resources, image paths, packages
+- **aws.yml** - AMI IDs, instance types (when implemented)
+- **azure.yml** - Image references, VM sizes (when implemented)
+
+## Examples
+
+### Build Golden Image (Libvirt Only)
+
+```bash
+# Interactive prompt for Rocky image URL
+ansible-playbook playbooks/libvirt/build-golden-image.yml
+```
+
+### Run All Tests
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml
+```
+
+### Run Specific Test
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -e "test_filter=Sparky_Knot"
+```
+
+### Run Tests on Specific Provider
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml --limit libvirt
+# Future: --limit aws or --limit azure
+```
+
+### Override VM Resources
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -e "vm_memory=4096" -e "vm_vcpus=4"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Verbose Output
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml -vvv
+```
+
+### Check Syntax
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/libvirt/build-golden-image.yml --syntax-check
+```
+
+### List Tasks
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-tests.yml --list-tasks
+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Provider-aware** - Supports multiple infrastructure providers (libvirt, AWS, Azure)

+# Rocky Linux Testing Framework - Ansible Guide
+
+This guide covers the Ansible-based implementation of the Rocky Linux Testing Framework.
+

+- [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
+- [Quick Start](#quick-start)
+- [Ansible Structure](#ansible-structure)
+- [Playbooks](#playbooks)
+- [Roles](#roles)
+- [Configuration](#configuration)
+- [Usage Examples](#usage-examples)
+- [Advanced Usage](#advanced-usage)
+- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+## Overview
+
+The Ansible implementation provides the same functionality as the shell scripts, but with:
+
+- Better error handling and idempotency
+- Structured configuration management
+- Parallel test execution with better control
+- Reusable roles for composability
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+# Install required packages
+sudo dnf install -y ansible qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install guestfs-tools rakudo
+
+# Enable libvirtd
+sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
+sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami)
+
+# Generate SSH keys if not present
+ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ""
+
+# Install Ansible collections (if needed)
+ansible-galaxy collection install community.libvirt
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Build Golden Image
+
+```bash
+cd ansible
+
+# Build with defaults (Rocky 9)
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml
+
+# Build with custom URL
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml \
+  -e "qcow2_url=https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/images/x86_64/Rocky-8-GenericCloud-Base.latest.x86_64.qcow2"
+```
+
+### 2. Run Single Test
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-single-test.yml \
+  -e "test_name=my-test" \
+  -e "test_repo_url=https://github.com/your-org/test-repo.git"
+```
+
+### 3. Run Test Suite
+
+```bash
+# Edit playbooks/run-test-suite.yml to define your test matrix
+# Then run:
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-test-suite.yml
+```

+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml \
+  -e "custom_prep_script=/path/to/custom-prep.sh"
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Using Tags
+
+Add tags to control execution:
+
+```bash
+# Only download image
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml --tags download
+
+# Skip bootstrap
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml --skip-tags bootstrap
+```
+
+### Ansible Vault for Secrets
+
+Store sensitive data in vault:
+
+```bash
+ansible-vault create ansible/inventory/group_vars/secrets.yml
+```
+
+Add passwords:
+```yaml
+root_password: "my-secure-password"
+rocky_user_password: "another-secure-password"
+```
+
+Use it:
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml --ask-vault-pass
+```
+
+### Cleanup Orphaned VMs
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook -m include_role -a name=cleanup_vm \
+  -e "cleanup_pattern=test-.*" \
+  localhost,
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Check Ansible Syntax
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml --syntax-check
+```
+
+### Dry Run (Check Mode)
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml --check
+```
+
+### Verbose Output
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-single-test.yml -vvv \
+  -e "test_name=my-test" \
+  -e "test_repo_url=https://..."
+```
+
+### List Tasks
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml --list-tasks
+```
+
+### Debugging Failed Tests
+
+```bash
+# Keep VM after failure
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-single-test.yml \
+  -e "test_name=my-test" \
+  -e "test_repo_url=https://..." \
+  -e "cleanup_after_test=false"
+
+# Then SSH to investigate
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa rocky@<vm-ip>
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue: "Golden image not found"**
+```bash
+# Build golden image first
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml
+```
+
+**Issue: "VM failed to get IP"**
+```bash
+# Check libvirt network
+sudo virsh net-list --all
+sudo virsh net-start default
+
+# Increase timeout
+ansible-playbook ... -e "max_wait_ip=60"
+```
+
+**Issue: "Bootstrap timeout"**
+```bash
+# Increase timeout
+ansible-playbook playbooks/build-golden-image.yml \
+  -e "bootstrap_timeout=1800"
+```
+
+**Issue: "Parallel tests failing"**
+```bash
+# Reduce parallelism
+ansible-playbook playbooks/run-test-suite.yml \
+  -e "max_parallel=1"
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Cache base images**: First download is slow, subsequent runs are fast
+2. **Reuse golden images**: Build once, test many times
+3. **Tune parallel execution**: Balance between speed and resource usage
+4. **Use local mirrors**: Speed up package installation in prep scripts
+5. **Disable verbose logging**: For faster execution in production
+
+## Migration from Shell Scripts
+
+| Shell Script | Ansible Equivalent |
+|--------------|-------------------|
+| `download-image.sh` | Role: `download_image` |
+| `setup_base.sh` | Role: `golden_image` |
+| `bootstrap_golden.sh` | Role: `bootstrap_sparrowdo` |
+| `provision_vm.sh` | Role: `provision_vm` |
+| `run-test.sh` | Role: `run_test` |
+| `cleanup_vm.sh` | Role: `cleanup_vm` |
+| `cleanup-all.sh` | Role: `cleanup_vm` with pattern |
+| Manual workflow | Playbook: `build-golden-image.yml` |
+| Test execution | Playbooks: `run-single-test.yml`, `run-test-suite.yml` |
+
+## Contributing
+
+When adding new functionality:
+
+1. Create a new role in `ansible/roles/`
+2. Add defaults in `defaults/main.yml`
+3. Document variables in role README
+4. Create example playbook in `playbooks/`
+5. Update this documentation

 If you have existing Sparrowdo tests that assumed root user:
 
-1. **Update TEST_MATRIX** in Jenkins to use rocky user
+1. **Ensure tests use rocky user** - Update SSH commands to use rocky@host
 2. **Ensure tests use --no_sudo** flag
 3. **Add bootstrap step** before test execution
 4. **Verify sudoers access** if tests need elevated privileges
 
-### Jenkins Pipeline Changes
-The Jenkinsfile automatically handles:
-- Creating rocky user in golden image
-- Injecting SSH keys for rocky user
-- Running bootstrap before tests
-- Using `--no_sudo` flag with rocky user
-
-No manual intervention needed for Jenkins builds.

-# Manual Test Run - Step by Step
-
-This guide provides the exact commands Jenkins runs, so you can execute them manually for testing.
-
-## Quick Start - Automated Script
-
-I've created an interactive script that walks through all steps:
-
-```bash
-cd /Users/ssimpson/Documents/git/resf-test-jenkins
-
-# Edit the configuration in the script first:
-vim docs/manual-test-run.sh
-# Update: TEST_REPO_URL, TEST_REPO_BRANCH, TEST_NAME
-
-# Run the interactive script:
-./docs/manual-test-run.sh
-```
-
-The script will pause at each step so you can see what's happening.
-
----
-
-## Manual Step-by-Step Commands
-
-If you prefer to run each command manually, here's the exact sequence:
-
-### Prerequisites Check
-
-```bash
-# Verify required tools
-which qemu-img virsh virt-install virt-customize sparrowdo git curl
-
-# Verify libvirt is running
-sudo systemctl status libvirtd
-
-# Verify SSH keys exist
-ls -la ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
-```
-
----
-
-### Step 1: Set Variables
-
-```bash
-# Set your configuration
-export BUILD_ID="manual-$(date +%s)"
-export IMAGES_DIR="/var/lib/libvirt/images"
-export WORK_DIR="/Users/ssimpson/Documents/git/resf-test-jenkins/manual-test-${BUILD_ID}"
-export SCRIPT_DIR="/Users/ssimpson/Documents/git/resf-test-jenkins"
-
-# QCOW2 Image URL
-export QCOW2_URL="https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/images/x86_64/Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base.latest.x86_64.qcow2"
-
-# SSH Keys
-export SSH_PRIVATE_KEY="${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa"
-export SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
-
-# Test Configuration - EDIT THESE
-export TEST_NAME="my-test"
-export TEST_REPO_URL="https://github.com/your-org/your-test-repo.git"
-export TEST_REPO_BRANCH="main"
-
-# Image download behavior (set to "true" to force re-download)
-export REDOWNLOAD_IMAGE="false"
-
-echo "Configuration set for build: ${BUILD_ID}"
-```
-
----
-
-### Step 2: Initialize Environment
-
-```bash
-# Create working directory
-mkdir -p "${WORK_DIR}"
-cd "${WORK_DIR}"
-
-# Ensure images directory exists and is writable
-sudo mkdir -p "${IMAGES_DIR}"
-sudo chown ${USER}:${USER} "${IMAGES_DIR}"
-
-# Verify scripts are executable
-chmod +x "${SCRIPT_DIR}/scripts"/*.sh
-
-echo "Environment initialized"
-```
-
----
-
-### Step 3: Download Base QCOW2 Image
-
-```bash
-# Extract filename from URL for caching
-export IMAGE_FILENAME=$(basename "${QCOW2_URL}")
-export CACHED_IMAGE="${IMAGES_DIR}/${IMAGE_FILENAME}"
-export BASE_IMAGE="${IMAGES_DIR}/base-${BUILD_ID}.qcow2"
-
-echo "Image URL: ${QCOW2_URL}"
-echo "Cached image: ${CACHED_IMAGE}"
-echo "Build image: ${BASE_IMAGE}"
-
-if [ "${REDOWNLOAD_IMAGE}" = "true" ]; then
-    echo "REDOWNLOAD_IMAGE is enabled - forcing fresh download"
-    curl -L --progress-bar -o "${BASE_IMAGE}" "${QCOW2_URL}"
-else
-    if [ -f "${CACHED_IMAGE}" ]; then
-        echo "Found cached image, creating copy for this build..."
-        cp "${CACHED_IMAGE}" "${BASE_IMAGE}"
-    else
-        echo "No cached image found, downloading..."
-        curl -L --progress-bar -o "${CACHED_IMAGE}" "${QCOW2_URL}"
-        echo "Creating copy for this build..."
-        cp "${CACHED_IMAGE}" "${BASE_IMAGE}"
-    fi
-fi
-
-# Verify the image
-echo "Verifying image..."
-qemu-img info "${BASE_IMAGE}" | head -10
-
-echo "Base image ready: ${BASE_IMAGE}"
-```
-
----
-
-### Step 4: Prepare Golden Image
-
-```bash
-# Set golden image path
-export GOLDEN_IMAGE="${IMAGES_DIR}/golden-${BUILD_ID}.qcow2"
-
-# Set prep script (you can customize this)
-export PREP_SCRIPT="${SCRIPT_DIR}/docs/default-prep.sh"

----
-
-### Step 5: Provision Test VM
-
-```bash
-# Set VM name
-export VM_NAME="${TEST_NAME}-${BUILD_ID}"
-
-echo "Provisioning VM: ${VM_NAME}"
-
-# Provision the VM and capture its IP
-export VM_IP=$("${SCRIPT_DIR}/scripts/provision_vm.sh" "${VM_NAME}" "${GOLDEN_IMAGE}" 60)
-
-if [ "$VM_IP" = "ERROR" ] || [ -z "$VM_IP" ]; then
-    echo "ERROR: Failed to provision VM"
-    exit 1
-fi
-
-echo "VM provisioned successfully"
-echo "VM Name: ${VM_NAME}"
-echo "IP Address: ${VM_IP}"

-    -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no \
-    -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null \
-    root@${VM_IP} 'hostname && cat /etc/rocky-release'
-```
-
----
-
-### Step 6: Clone Test Repository
-
-```bash
-# Create test workspace
-export TEST_WORKSPACE="${WORK_DIR}/test-workspace"
-mkdir -p "${TEST_WORKSPACE}"
-cd "${TEST_WORKSPACE}"
-
-echo "Cloning test repository..."
-echo "URL: ${TEST_REPO_URL}"
-echo "Branch: ${TEST_REPO_BRANCH}"

-    exit 1
-fi
-
-echo "Found sparrowfile: ${SPARROWFILE}"
-
-# Show sparrowfile contents
-echo "Sparrowfile contents:"
-cat "${SPARROWFILE}"

----
-
-## Troubleshooting During Manual Run
-
-### VM Won't Start
-```bash
-# Check libvirt status
-sudo systemctl status libvirtd
-
-# List all VMs
-virsh list --all
-
-# Check VM details
-virsh dominfo "${VM_NAME}"
-
-# View VM console
-virsh console "${VM_NAME}"  # Ctrl+] to exit
-```
-
-### Can't Get IP Address
-```bash
-# Check network
-virsh net-list --all
-virsh net-info default
-
-# View DHCP leases
-virsh net-dhcp-leases default
-
-# Try alternative IP detection
-virsh domifaddr "${VM_NAME}" --source lease
-virsh domifaddr "${VM_NAME}" --source agent
-virsh domifaddr "${VM_NAME}" --source arp
-```
-
-### SSH Connection Fails
-```bash
-# Test SSH manually with verbose output
-ssh -vvv -i "${SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}" \
-    -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no \
-    -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null \
-    root@${VM_IP}
-
-# Check if SSH key was injected
-sudo virt-cat -a "${GOLDEN_IMAGE}" /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
-
-# Check VM network from inside
-virsh console "${VM_NAME}"
-# Then inside VM:
-# ip addr
-# systemctl status sshd
-# firewall-cmd --list-all
-```
-
-### Sparrowdo Fails
-```bash
-# Test connectivity first
-ssh -i "${SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}" \
-    -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no \
-    root@${VM_IP} 'which perl && perl --version'
-
-# Run sparrowdo with debug output
-sparrowdo \
-    --host="${VM_IP}" \
-    --ssh_user=root \
-    --ssh_private_key="${SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}" \
-    --verbose \
-    --sparrowfile="${SPARROWFILE}"
-```
-
-### Clean Up Failed VMs
-```bash
-# List all VMs
-virsh list --all
-
-# Force cleanup
-for vm in $(virsh list --all --name | grep "${BUILD_ID}"); do
-    virsh destroy "$vm" 2>/dev/null || true
-    virsh undefine "$vm" 2>/dev/null || true
-    sudo rm -f "/var/lib/libvirt/images/${vm}.qcow2"
-done
-```
-
----
-
-## Quick Cleanup Script
-
-If something goes wrong and you need to clean up everything:
-
-```bash
-# Save this as cleanup-all.sh
-#!/bin/bash
-
-BUILD_ID="${1:-manual}"
-
-echo "Cleaning up build: ${BUILD_ID}"
-
-# Stop and remove VMs
-for vm in $(virsh list --all --name | grep "${BUILD_ID}"); do
-    echo "Removing VM: $vm"
-    virsh destroy "$vm" 2>/dev/null || true
-    virsh undefine "$vm" 2>/dev/null || true
-    sudo rm -f "/var/lib/libvirt/images/${vm}.qcow2"
-done
-
-# Remove images
-sudo rm -f "/var/lib/libvirt/images/base-${BUILD_ID}.qcow2"
-sudo rm -f "/var/lib/libvirt/images/golden-${BUILD_ID}.qcow2"
-
-# Remove working directory
-rm -rf "/Users/ssimpson/Documents/git/resf-test-jenkins/manual-test-${BUILD_ID}"
-
-echo "Cleanup complete"
-```
-
-Then run:
-```bash
-chmod +x cleanup-all.sh
-./cleanup-all.sh manual-1234567890  # Use your BUILD_ID
