warnings:
  - STEP_044J uses an existing private client config only on VM121; private material is not published.
  - VM100 counters are expected to change by packet/byte increments; no selector, peer, VM101, or DB changes are expected.
  - If no existing client config is available, this step stops safely and publishes only sanitized inventory.
