 Status: mock scaffold only.

 It remains registered for protocol completeness, but it is not a real collection path.
+The project is Redfish-first for live collection:
+- Redfish already covers the current product goals for inventory, sensors, and hardware event logs
+- the live architecture depends on replayable `raw_payloads.redfish_tree`
+- a generic IPMI collector would require a separate raw snapshot and replay contract
+
+IPMI should be reconsidered only as a narrow fallback for real field cases where Redfish is
+missing or unreliable for a specific capability such as SEL, FRU, or sensors.
