Follow-up to #121 (merged, released as v1.8.2).

Why

The live lane only tested NetBox main, so the released-version GraphQL regression behind #120 (broken PowerOutletTemplateFilter on every released 4.3.x/4.4.x, fixed upstream only in 4.5.0) was structurally invisible: main has carried the fix since December 2025, and the unit suite's fake GraphQL encodes the correct schema.

What

  • The lane becomes a matrix over the latest patch release of each supported NetBox line plus main: v4.3.7, v4.4.10, v4.5.10, main (fail-fast: false).
  • The full matrix runs on every pull request and on workflow_dispatch, so importer changes are gated against every supported released line. The v4.4.10 and v4.3.7 lanes exercise the fix(graphql): fall back to client-side vendor scoping when NetBox rejects template filters #121 fallback against a real broken schema.
  • The weekly schedule keeps testing main only: released tags are immutable, so re-testing them on a timer adds nothing.
  • Token bootstrap works on both credential schemes without version sniffing: the v2 nbt_ credential when the Token model exposes it (NetBox >= 4.5), the classic plaintext key otherwise. The curl auth scheme is derived from the token prefix, the same rule the importer and the integration tests already use.
  • The integration suite's front-port assertions now accept both REST shapes: the PortMapping M2M rear_ports list (NetBox >= 4.5) and the scalar rear_port + rear_port_position pair (4.3/4.4), normalized through one helper. The first matrix run failed exactly there on the 4.3/4.4 lanes.
  • Workflow renamed test-netbox-main.yaml -> test-netbox.yaml to match the widened scope; README badge updated.
  • README compatibility floor raised from the stale "3.2+ through 4.5+" claim to NetBox 4.3+, which is what the matrix actually proves.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Compatibility

    • Added support for NetBox 4.3 and later, including newer and legacy authentication formats.
    • Improved compatibility for front-port and rear-port relationships across NetBox versions.
  • Testing

    • Expanded automated validation across supported NetBox releases, including patch versions and the latest development branch.
    • Pull requests now receive broader NetBox integration coverage.
  • Documentation

    • Updated supported-version information and replaced the previous status badge with live NetBox CI status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR expands NetBox CI coverage, adds dynamic support for current and legacy authentication formats, updates supported-version documentation, and normalizes front-port relationship checks across NetBox versions.

Changes

NetBox compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
CI matrix and authentication support
.github/workflows/test-netbox.yaml, README.md
The workflow runs main and supported release tags based on the trigger. NetBox checkout uses the selected reference. Authentication supports NetBox v2 credentials and legacy keys. README support information now covers NetBox 4.3+ and weekly version coverage.
Version-independent front-port validation
tests/integration/test_import.py
The tests normalize rear_ports and legacy rear_port values into a common mapping. Device-type, patch-panel, and module-type checks use the normalized mapping.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0384d

The PR broadens CI coverage across supported NetBox versions, while one README sentence incorrectly describes the weekly schedule as running the full matrix. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; the documentation should be corrected as routine follow-up.

…main

The weekly live lane only tested NetBox main, so the released-version
GraphQL filter regression behind #120 (broken PowerOutletTemplateFilter
on every released 4.3.x/4.4.x, fixed upstream only in 4.5.0) was
invisible to CI. Turn the lane into a matrix over the latest patch of
each supported line (v4.3.7, v4.4.10, v4.5.10) plus main, and run it on
pull requests that change the workflow itself.

The token bootstrap now serves both credential schemes without version
sniffing: the v2 nbt_ credential when the Token model exposes it
(NetBox >= 4.5) and the classic plaintext key otherwise, with the curl
auth scheme derived from the token prefix the same way the importer and
the integration tests already do.

Rename the workflow to test-netbox.yaml to match its widened scope and
raise the README compatibility floor from the stale 3.2+ claim to
NetBox 4.3+, which is what the matrix actually proves.
NetBox 4.5 replaced FrontPortTemplate.rear_port + rear_port_position
with the PortMapping M2M, and the REST serializer changed shape with it.
The integration assertions only knew the M2M rear_ports list, so the
4.3/4.4 matrix lanes failed on a correct import. Normalize both shapes
through one helper keyed on which field the payload carries.
Released tags are immutable, so re-testing them weekly adds nothing:
the schedule keeps tracking main alone. Pull requests and manual
dispatches run the full supported matrix, so importer changes are
gated against every supported released line.

Comment thread README.md Outdated
The weekly schedule tests NetBox main only; the full released-version
matrix runs on pull requests and manual dispatches. The README claimed
the weekly run covered the whole matrix.
CodeQL flags the job as cache-poisonable: it executes third-party code
(the NetBox checkout) in the privileged scheduled/dispatched context of
the default branch, and setup-uv wrote the shared Actions cache from
that same job. With no cache writes the vector is gone; uv re-resolves
in seconds.
