Changing Your IPAM Should Not Rewrite Every Deployment

Suppose a network team moves authoritative IPAM data from NetBox to Nautobot. The deployment still needs the same thing it needed yesterday: trusted prefix and inventory data before it creates infrastructure. Yet operation definitions across the environment now need editing because they all say requires_authority: netbox. That migration should
