# Legacy Launch Scripts

These scripts are archived manual launch helpers from the older `baremetal/vm-cluster` workflow.

They are not the canonical test path and should not be used for normal validation.

Use the Nix-native harness instead:

```bash
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- smoke
```

Notes:

- `deploy-all.sh` and `validate-cluster.sh` are preserved only for the retired PXE/manual flow
- some scripts assume local disk images or host networking setup that is no longer maintained
- Alpine-specific flows are treated as retired
- supporting artifacts such as `alpine-answers.txt` are no longer kept current
