From 1c6279eeac7f9c6f27f25601e64901461bc897ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: leavelet Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 00:02:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] chore(harness): fix router prometheus port; update work item Router needs an explicit --prometheus-port under --network=host (collides with the metrics-enabled servers otherwise). Work item captures the full harness bring-up: GLM-5.1 PD up e2e, 4 ports validated by smoke, #27372 abort validated.
