# Review of supplied AIM 3.2.1rc2

The uploaded SHA-256 sidecar matched the supplied Core archive. AIM Core remains separately installed and managed; this add-on does not modify it.

## Public additions consumed by WebGUI rc7

- `inventory_hierarchy_v1`: read-only customer/group/subgroup tree with direct hosts only per node. WebGUI uses Core paths for presentation and expands parent selection from Core-declared descendants, then submits explicit hosts through normal prepare/review.
- `target_outcome_summary_v1`: authoritative final requested-target accounting from native Ansible host stats. WebGUI does not infer final host success from task events.
- `native_defaults_preflight_v2`: separately covers process/config-home staging and passwd/NSS-home local-connection staging. WebGUI rc7 retains the rc6 release-managed writable paths and hardened systemd sandbox.
- Service/wire/event API remains 1.0; detailed progress remains `play_task_host_v1`; raw module output remains unavailable.

## Presentation boundary

Core overall execution status remains authoritative. For a mixed result such as 24 successful targets and one unreachable target, Core may correctly return `failed`; WebGUI presents the job as `Partially succeeded` while showing the original Core status/exit code and the per-target facts.
