A throwaway copy of the production VLAN topology so routing and firewall
changes can be tested before they touch the real network. Same VLAN IDs and
roles as UniFi, deliberately different ranges (172.31.<vlan>.0/24) so nothing
here can be mistaken for production.

- OVS fabric: real 802.1Q. Access port per micro VM, host leg per VLAN (.2,
  for SSH only — NOT the VMs' default route, so inter-VLAN tests exercise the
  router rather than the host's routing table), and a trunk portgroup with
  VLAN 1 declared nativeMode='untagged'.
- Six Alpine micro VMs (256MB, copy-on-write overlays on one 176MB image),
  SSH + a hello-world HTTP page naming the VLAN.
- VyOS router installed to disk unattended over the console, with the SAME
  config shape as the VP2440s: two NICs in an LACP bond carrying the trunk,
  VLAN 1 native, bond0.<vlan> holding the .1 gateway on each.
- labsim-matrix.py: full-mesh ICMP/TCP22/TCP80 probe, ~0.2s, --watch
  highlights cells that changed since the last sweep. Guest-side probe is
  python3 (already present via cloud-init) so nothing is installed on VMs
  that have no internet.
- Prometheus + Grafana (anonymous auth, no login) with a provisioned
  dashboard: heatmap plus a state timeline showing exactly when a path
  flipped. Verified end to end: one VyOS rule took sum(labsim_reachable)
  from 90 to 84, blocking precisely kvm<->k8s across all three protocols.

Traps found building this, all now encoded in the scripts:
- virtio-net breaks 802.3ad: the guest's bonding driver reports slaves
  "MII Status: down" despite carrier=1 and never sends an LACPDU, so the bond
  sits in AD_STATE_DEFAULTED. e1000e fixes it with no other change. Matches
  the netdev thread "bonding (IEEE 802.3ad) not working with qemu/virtio".
- OVS defaults bonds to active-backup, which does not speak LACP at all —
  bond_mode=balance-tcp is required.
- LACP deadlock: OVS holds members disabled until negotiation while the
  partner needs carrier before it will send LACPDUs. lacp-fallback-ab breaks it.
- LACPDUs are untagged, so a trunk with no native VLAN has nowhere to put them.
- --boot cdrom,hd re-runs the ISO on every restart, so every commit+save went
  to a live system that evaporated. Install now switches the VM to boot hd.
- cloud-init on Alpine: users stay locked without lock_passwd:false, one
  failing runcmd aborts the rest, busybox here has no httpd applet, and
  start-stop-daemon --exec /usr/bin/python3 matches cloud-init's own python3.
- The user-data heredoc is unquoted, so backticks in a COMMENT were executed
  by the host shell and their output corrupted the YAML. build_seed now
  validates with yaml.safe_load before building the ISO.

"""Prometheus exporter for the labsim connectivity matrix.
Runs the same sweep as labsim-matrix.py on an interval and exposes it as
metrics, so Grafana can show the mesh as a heatmap and — more usefully — a
history of exactly when a cell flipped after a firewall change.
labsim_reachable{src,dst,proto} 1 = reachable, 0 = blocked
labsim_sweep_seconds how long the last sweep took
labsim_sweep_total sweeps completed since start
labsim_up 1 while the exporter is alive
Deliberately stdlib-only (http.server + threads): this runs on the workstation
next to libvirt, and adding a dependency to watch a lab network is silly.
./labsim-exporter.py --port 9101 --interval 15
