September 2025: Delivered Serial Console over TCP for sapcc/nova (Cloud Hypervisor + Libvirt CH), enabling a web-accessible serial console and updating the Libvirt CH driver to read serial TCP output. This increases remote management capabilities, accelerates troubleshooting, and reduces on-site visits by providing VM domain observability via the web console.
