Closes F10: the sim silently stored out-of-range/malformed scalar values
(e.g. vlan-9999, IP 999.888.777.x) that real APIC/NDO reject server-side.
New aci_sim/rest_aci/validators.py: table-driven RULES {(class,prop) -> validator}
(range/enum/IP·MAC-format/vlan-encap). Enforced in writes.py::_validate_planned
(APIC) and ndo/patch.py::apply_json_patch (NDO) before any store mutation.
Fail-safe default-allow: only registered (class,prop) validated; unknown pass.
Bad values now -> APIC Error 103 Malformed MO body. ~45 rules / ~18 classes.
Constraints sourced from vendored cisco.aci arg-specs + standard ACI ranges,
cross-checked against the real-machine var corpus for zero false-rejects
(regression: full create_tenant MS-TN1 + SF-TN1 chains stay green). +176 tests
(1098 passed). Referential integrity split out as F11 (needs real-APIC study).

F5 fidelity gap: cisco.mso mso_schema/mso_tenant state=absent send
DELETE /mso/api/v1/schemas/{id} and DELETE /mso/api/v1/tenants/{id};
both were unrouted (405), blocking E2E baseline cleanup.
- DELETE schemas/{id}: removes detail + summary (seeded or extra) +
policy-states; 404 on unknown id. No cascade into the APIC deploy
mirror — real NDO orphans deployed objects on schema delete.
- DELETE tenants/{id} (+ bare /api/v1 alias, matching the GET pair):
400 while any schema template tenantId references the tenant,
200 once dereferenced, 404 on unknown id.
- tests/test_ndo_delete.py: 8 tests incl. no-cascade mirror check.
Full suite: 922 passed.

Three fidelity gaps surfaced by one broken TN2 var file (missing firewall
block), all fixed:
- writes: reject malformed fvSubnet/l3extSubnet/vnsRedirectDest ip values
with an APIC-style 400 before any store mutation (deletes exempt)
- query engine: support query-target=children (direct children, flat
imdata, root excluded) — was silently returning empty
- deploy mirror: materialize vzFilter/vzEntry, vzBrCP/vzSubj (+ filter and
service-graph subject bindings) and vnsAbsGraph shadows per target site;
undeploy removes them
E2E-verified through the real pipeline (aci-py hidden push): a TN2 var
missing the fw block now fails with 'Invalid value "." for property ip of
vnsRedirectDest ... -> 400' and nothing lands; a complete var set builds
both MS tenants with contract shadows + sgt-FW graph binding on both sites.
Suite: 914 passed.

Owner review of the v0.19.0 demo + Cisco docs/real spine CLI verification:
ACI spines name the VLAN-4 sub-if after the PORT (eth1/49.49, cf.
Eth1/29.29-style in show ip ospf neighbors vrf overlay-1); the ISN Nexus
names its dot1q-4 sub-if after the VLAN (Ethernet1/1.4). v0.19.0 had the
two conventions swapped. 908 tests green.
Real ACI multi-site spines carry the OSPF address toward the ISN on a
routed sub-interface, not the bare port: ospfIf id/dn are now
eth1/{49+si}.4 with addr=172.16.{site}.{si+1}/24 (same /24 as the
existing .254 peer); ospfAdjEp nests under the sub-if. Each spine ISN
uplink physical port also gets an ISN-CSW lldpAdjEp/cdpAdjEp
(sysName ISN-CSW{site}, portIdV Ethernet1/{si+1}, model N9K-C9364C,
locally-administered 02:1B:0D MAC hashed from site.id). Single-site
fabrics build none of this. Closes the autoACI Fabric (physical) gap
where spine uplink rows showed blank Local IP / Neighbor Port.
908 tests green.
aci-sim remains free for personal/lab/research and other noncommercial use;
commercial use now requires permission. README gains a Buy-Me-a-Coffee badge.

A tenant L3Out POSTed live via /api/mo (cisco.aci / aci-py) only landed the
bgpPeerP config MO; the operational bgpPeer/bgpPeerEntry/bgpPeerAfEntry that
build/l3out.py emits for topology-defined L3Outs never existed for it, so
per-tenant L3Out BGP session views stayed empty. writes.py now reacts to
runtime bgpPeerP writes: dom-{tenant}:{vrf} (VRF from l3extRsEctx, ASN from
the nested bgpAsP, node from the path DN), operSt=established. Skips when no
VRF is bound or on status=deleted. 3 new regression tests; suite: 903 passed.
