Scenario details

Goal

Preview the preferred core installation path without changing the host.

When to use it

  • you want to see the base installation plan before applying
  • you want to confirm the difference between preflight and the actual bootstrap flow
  • you are preparing an operator demo that should not mutate the machine

Prerequisites

  • local checkout at productive-k3s-core
  • supported Linux host or VM
  • successful preflight is recommended first

Expected result

  • plan-oriented output describing what core would install or reuse
  • possible prompts that influence the plan
  • no persistent host changes

Notes

  • server is the preferred public contract for core-only installation
  • this playbook is safer than testing the real apply path when the host is not disposable
