Trim required HyperCore CI coverage to the current two most recent Standard Production releases; keep older versions best-effort #376

Description

@ddemlow

Requirement

Per Scale Computing's official Software Support Guide, support covers the two most recent
Standard Production releases
, plus any Early/Limited Production release within 12 months of its
release (unless superseded). Nothing is currently EOL — this is about the actively-maintained
window, not removing anything that's actually end-of-life.

As of 2026-08-07, that window is 9.5 and 9.6. This window shifts as new releases ship — please
reconfirm the current two Standard Production releases when picking this up rather than relying on
this snapshot. Required/blocking CI coverage should track whichever versions are current at that
time.

Versions older than the window (currently 9.1–9.4)

Move from required/blocking to best-effort: no longer required to gate CI/merge/release, but avoid
unnecessary breakage where practical. A non-blocking job, a reduced-frequency check, or a single
canary version are all reasonable approaches — your call, just note which one in the PR/response.

Note

This doesn't affect existing users on older HyperCore versions — Ansible Galaxy keeps every
published collection release pinnable, so they can keep using whichever version was already
validated for their setup.
