Use this skill for launching, supervising, debugging, OR platform lifecycle on a BlueField — BFB install, RShim/TMFIFO, host PF rebind, post-BFB recovery — taking a DOCA-linked binary to a healthy run directly on hardware (host x86 + BlueField NIC over PCIe, or BlueField Arm bare-metal). No container, no kubelet. Covers launch mode (direct, tmux, systemd), PCI/NUMA/ CPU/IRQ binding, co-tenant isolation (cgroup-v2/netns/numactl), a seven-layer error taxonomy, and a six-state BlueField lifecycle classifier. Trigger even when user does not say "bare-metal" — implicit phrasings include "binary exits 1 right after launch", "systemd keeps restarting it", "no matching device on the BF", "bfb-install exited 0 but DPU is dead", "ping 192.168.100.2 works but ssh fails", "host PFs aren't showing netdevs". Mutating-step meta-policy (firmware burn, mlxconfig set, kernel boot params) is doca-hardware-safety, loaded alongside; container deployment, library APIs, env prep, and binary build belong to other skills.
