The current implementation applies FAIL_O to every in-use host interface policy whose speed is set to auto, regardless of hardware or topology. However, the authoritative CSCwh11580 defect record limits the trigger to an ACI leaf connected to an N9K-C9372-PX. As written, unaffected fabrics will receive a critical outage warning.

Please restrict FAIL_O to the verified defect conditions. Generic speed="auto" best-practice violations can instead be reported as MANUAL. Please also document the CSCwh11580 scope and add tests covering affected and unaffected hardware, including the result payload—not only the status.

The linked Cisco guide does support recommending inherit, and the Python 2.7/3.8 CI checks pass. The PR currently conflicts with its base, so the resolved merge diff will also need validation.
