taodengandClaude Fable 5 7e9a175ce6 Initial public release — aci-sim v0.16.0
aci-sim is a stateful REST simulator of a 2-site Cisco ACI fabric
(per-site APIC + ND/NDO management planes) — for testing ACI automation
(Ansible cisco.aci / cisco.mso, aci-py, custom REST clients) and CI gates
without real hardware.

Highlights: APIC + NDO REST surface served from one in-memory MIT built
from a declarative topology.yaml; port mode + sandbox (real per-device IPs
on :443) run modes; LLDP/CDP neighbor visibility; NDO->APIC deploy mirror
(multi-site templates materialize onto the target sites' APIC stores);
real-APIC fvBD default attributes; file-backed state save/restore; an
`aci-sim` CLI (validate/show/graph/run/new/init/lldp); and an 888-test suite.

History squashed for the public release.

"""File-backed state persistence for the sim's MITStore and NdoState.
Covers ALL planes — per-site APIC MITStores and the NDO model — so a whole
fabric can be saved to disk and restored across a sim restart (sandbox/port
mode has no other durability: everything else lives in memory only).
Design notes
------------
- ``MO`` instances stored in a :class:`~aci_sim.mit.store.MITStore`
are always childless (the store keeps the parent/child hierarchy only in
its own ``_children`` index — see ``MITStore.add``'s docstring). So a
faithful store round-trip only needs each MO's ``class_name`` + ``attrs``;
replaying them through ``MITStore.add`` rebuilds the ancestor index and
therefore all subtree queries.
- ``NdoState`` is a plain ``@dataclass`` of JSON-friendly fields (lists/dicts
of str/bool/int). ``apply_ndo`` mutates the SAME state object in place via
``setattr`` — ``make_ndo_app`` closes over the ``state`` object identity,
so replacing it with a new instance would leave the running app's routes
pointed at stale data.
