Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds LLDP neighbor snapshot reporting for agents and scouts. It defines Forge RPC messages, validates access, collects and suppresses unchanged snapshots, sends reports with timeout handling, processes reports in the API, and records agent reporting metrics. ChangesLLDP reporting
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change adds LLDP snapshot reporting from hosts and DPU agents to the API. Failed LLDP collection may not be visible in the configured success/failure metrics, which can reduce operational diagnosability; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up documentation and metrics work.

Document the new LLDP Rust APIs with Rustdoc. Add documentation for LldpReport, LldpReport::emit, LldpReportError, DEFAULT_REPORT_TIMEOUT, and LldpReporter::new so their intended use and behavior are clear to downstream modules.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Emit a failure metric when LLDP collection fails.
Lines 1415-1418 return after a warning. No DpuAgentReport metric records this failed LLDP report loop. Emit LldpReport::Failed before returning so collector and transport failures are both visible.
Proposed change
Err(error) => {
tracing::warn!(%error, "Could not collect LLDP neighbors; skipping report");
+ LldpReport::Failed {
+ error: error.to_string(),
+ }
+ .emit();
return;

Bind machine_id to the authenticated machine identity.
The authorization middleware allows ReportLldpNeighbors for any Agent or Scout machine principal. The handler only checks that machine_id is present and does not compare it with AuthContext. A machine can therefore submit a report naming another machine. Reject mismatched identities and add an integration test.

Both scout (host) and the DPU agent now collect their LLDP neighbors and push a full per-machine snapshot over a new gRPC to nico-api
LldpNeighborReport/InterfaceLldp, keyed by the local NIC MAC.LldpReporter(carbide-host-support) caches the last successfully sent snapshot and skips the RPC when nothing changed. Empty snapshots are never sent, so a briefly unavailablelldpdcannot reconcile away existing data. The cache is updated only after a successful send, so failed and timed-out reports are retried on the next poll. Sends are bounded by a 5s timeout.dpu_agent_lldp_report_succeeded/_failedon the existingDpuAgentReportmetric family; scout reports once per poll iteration.The API handler currently only validates the machine ID and logs the report. Handling it and saving it to the database (including the DB migration) will be added in the next PR.
