Plan and run a controlled, COMMUNITY-edition Harvester HCI upgrade off an EOL line up to latest stable — the no-skip minor ladder (1.5→1.6→1.7→1.8; embedded RKE2/KubeVirt/Longhorn/SLE-Micro ride along), gated at each hop on first upgrading the EXTERNAL Rancher + a matching Harvester UI-extension (1.6↔Rancher 2.12, 1.7↔2.13, 1.8↔2.14). Covers air-gapped version detection, why node-upgrade order is NOT operator-choosable (forced serial; the pause knob is v1.7.0+ only) and how to protect VM-hosted control planes anyway via anti-affinity spread + N+1 live-migration, making self-managed RKE2 guests Harvester-aware (cloud-provider, CSI, qemu-guest-agent), per-hop breaking changes (wicked→NetworkManager, Intel NIC rename, DHCP IP churn), the enforced pre-flight health gates, and the no-downgrade backup/rollback reality. Companion to k8s-components-checker and rancher-upgrade.
