Testing Farm release 2026-08.1

tmt was updated to 1.77 from 1.76.

Artemis was updated to v0.0.92 from v0.0.91 on Red Hat ranch.

The reboot timeout for bare metal guests on the public ranch was raised from 600 to 1200 seconds. AWS bare metal instances power-cycle the entire platform on reboot, so firmware POST can take over 800 seconds on older generations - more than the old limit allowed (testing-farm/profiles!96, testing-farm/infrastructure!1526).

Artifact archives now exclude tmt discover step data and rpminspect working directories, significantly reducing upload size for large test runs. The tests.yaml manifest is preserved so the discovery record remains accessible (testing-farm/infrastructure!1517).

The dnspython library is now installed in the gluetool virtual environment, enabling the community.general.dig Ansible lookup module during guest setup (testing-farm/gluetool-modules!1088).

Documented network ingress and egress defaults per ranch for provisioned and reserved machines (testing-farm/docs/root!282).

Fixed ansible_pkg_mgr detection on Fedora ELN with Ansible 2.16, which incorrectly reported yum even though the system uses dnf5. The package module now forces dnf5 on Fedora when the detected manager is yum (testing-farm/infrastructure!1370, testing-farm/profiles!101).

Fixed installing the brewkoji RPM on RHEL 7 ppc64 guests by falling back to the x86_64 RCMTOOLS repo for the noarch package and installing arch-specific dependencies directly from Brew (testing-farm/infrastructure!1538).

Fixed brew-build artifact downloads on i386/i686 guests by mapping the guest architecture to the correct koji download-build --arch flags (testing-farm/gluetool-modules!1089).
