Storage health and benchmark alpha

Storage health and benchmark alpha

Highlights

• Added internal-drive inventory enrichment with normalized SMART health.
• Added NVMe health through nvme-cli and broader ATA/SATA/SAS fallback coverage through optional smartmontools/smartctl.
• Added fio-backed KDiskMark/CDM-style Storage Benchmark for CLI and profile workflows.
• Added sequential all-internal-drive benchmarking with explicit root/system-drive safeguards.
• Added CoW/Btrfs workspace support with warnings.
• Added normalized JSON/TXT benchmark artifacts.
• Added Storage Benchmark Quick and Storage Benchmark Sequential profiles.
• Quick Test now ends with a one-run Storage Benchmark stage.

Notes

• fio is required for Storage Benchmark.
• nvme-cli enables NVMe SMART health.
• smartmontools provides smartctl for broader SMART coverage.
• Missing smartctl is not a failure when detected NVMe drives are covered by nvme-cli.
• Storage benchmarks write bounded LVS-owned temporary files.
• Root/system-drive benchmarking requires explicit opt-in and reports at least WARN.
• KDiskMark/CDM-style means fio-backed comparable workload behavior, not exact CrystalDiskMark compatibility.

v0.1.2-alpha - Local migration workflow

Alpha update for Linux Validation Suite (LVS).

Adds:

• public-safe local support export
• guarded private migration bundle export
• restore preview workflow
• guarded restore apply workflow
• CLI and TUI access for the full migration/support workflow
• no-overwrite restore behavior
• conflict staging for manual review
• manifest/checksum/path-safety validation
• smoke coverage for migration safety behavior

Safety boundaries:

• Google credentials are not bundled
• result contents are not bundled
• sensor logs are not bundled
• vendor data, .venv, caches, and secrets remain excluded
• restore preview performs no writes
• restore apply requires explicit confirmation

Validation:

• full smoke suite passed: 189 tests
• py_compile passed
• git diff --check passed

v0.1.1-alpha - Alpha patch 1

Patch alpha release for Linux Validation Suite (LVS).

Fixes:

• aligns displayed suite version with public alpha versioning
• fixes fresh-clone smoke test failure in the CLI heatsoak launch smoke stub
• suppresses noisy captured interactive output during passing smoke tests while preserving failure diagnostics

Validation:

• full smoke suite passed: 181 tests
• py_compile passed
• git diff --check passed

v0.1.0-alpha - Initial public alpha

Initial public alpha of Linux Validation Suite (LVS).

This release includes:

• CLI validation workflow
• Textual TUI operator workflow
• hardware telemetry capture
• result review and QA payload tooling
• smoke-test coverage
• public-safe settings scaffolding
• local/private result and credential exclusions
• MIT open-source license

Current limitations:

• primarily developed and validated on x86_64 Linux
• ARM64/Linux support is planned but not fully validated yet
• some telemetry, sensor, GPU, stress-test, or dependency behavior may be incomplete on ARM systems
• Google Drive upload support is optional and user-configured
• CPU cooler testing v2 workflow is planned but not included yet
