Starting here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-status#L70 there are interesting bugs to improve live migration. So I would like cores to review them. Can we also look at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/972601: return error about external network to the user on build failure from Cardoe. It would be great to get special care for that one, because, unless I'm wrong, we missed it in the previous cycle, and it's important for Cardoe.
