In `@bmc/mock/server/server.go`:
- Line 1583: Update the ETag increment formatting around SetResourceETag so the
generated value preserves the input tag’s strength: retain the W/ prefix for
weak ETags and omit it for strong ETags. Keep the existing inner value and
generation increment behavior unchanged.
In `@bmc/oem_helpers.go`:
- Around line 494-496: Update the successful GET handling in
BMCSettingsManager.FetchETags to always assign the retrieved ETag value to
result[uri], including an empty string when the header is absent, matching
RedfishLocalBMC.FetchETags and preserving an entry for every requested URI.
- Line 346: Update checkAttributes so registry validation still runs for
WriteOnly attributes; remove WriteOnly from the condition that bypasses
validation, retaining only the password-type exception. Keep any
readback-specific handling outside this requested-value validation path.
In `@bmc/redfish_dell.go`:
- Line 474: In the Dell PATCH flow surrounding
manager.GetClient().PatchWithHeaders, validate resp.StatusCode and reject any
non-2xx response before reading the response ETag or recording ApplyResult
values. Match the status-check behavior used by httpBasedUpdateBMCAttributes
while preserving successful response handling.
In `@bmc/redfish_local.go`:
- Around line 219-220: Update RedfishLocalBMC.FetchETags to inspect the error
returned by c.Get when the response is nil; store an empty ETag for gofish HTTP
404 errors, and return all other errors. Preserve the existing ETag extraction
and response-body closing behavior for successful responses.

214-223: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the generic/vendor attribute split into a shared helper.
The same partition logic (
strings.Fields(k), checking forhttp.MethodPost/http.MethodPatch) is duplicated verbatim inGetBMCAttributeValues(214-223),SetBMCAttributesImmediately(391-398), andCheckBMCAttributes(511-518). The asymmetric fix flagged above (Get vs Set diverging on error handling) shows the risk of keeping this logic in three separate places. Extract a small helper, e.g.splitGenericAttrs[T any](attrs map[string]T) (generic, vendor map[string]T), and reuse it across all three methods.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Proposed Changes
bmc.go
Add FetchETags(ctx, uris) (map[string]string, error) to the BMC interface
Add IsPost bool to ApplyResult to flag POST-created ephemeral resources
redfish.go
Default FetchETags implementation returns nil (callers fall back to full value-map GET)
redfish_dell.go
FetchETags returns nil — Dell DellAttributes are a monolithic resource with no per-attribute ETag signal
SetBMCAttributesImmediately now captures URI + ETag per key after each successful PATCH
CheckBMCAttributes skips POST/PATCH-prefix keys (not Dell OEM registry entries)
redfish_hpe.go / redfish_lenovo.go
FetchETags overrides using shared httpFetchETags helper — HPE iLO and Lenovo XCC both expose ETags on BIOS settings resources
oem_helpers.go
httpFetchETags: shared GET-based ETag fetcher with proper status code handling (404 → empty string, non-2xx → error)
httpBasedUpdateBMCAttributes: pre-PATCH GET now fails fast on error/non-2xx rather than silently proceeding without If-Match; PATCH ETag fallback-GET on missing response header
httpBasedGetBMCSettingAttribute: returns nil for keys where all desired fields are present but null (write-only PATCH-prefix semantics)
checkAttributes: skips PasswordAttributeType and WriteOnly entries (value cannot be verified via GET)
redfish_local.go
SetBMCAttributesImmediately and FetchETags implementations for local/test Redfish
server.go
SetResourceETag / GetResourceETag / SetBMCSettingAttr helpers for test drift simulation
saveResourceAndBumpETag: atomic resource write + ETag bump under one mutex (eliminates GET/ETag race window)
bumpETag: handles both hyphen-delimited (res-3 → res-4) and bare numeric suffixes (v1 → v2)
