Core story

1. Operator computes desired node power state.
2. Agent discovers node hardware and publishes NodeHardware.
3. Operator resolves discovered hardware against the inventory and publishes desired state in NodePowerProfile.
4. Agent reads desired state and applies controls through configured backends.
5. Telemetry and status feed the next reconcile step.
