Fix spurious diffs in ACL ruleset by preventing state mutation and excluding out-of-band rules

bhouse-nexthop · bhouse-nexthop · commit 5f451b0de133 · 2026-03-18T19:57:47.000Z
- Fixed Read function to create new rule maps instead of mutating existing state
- Removed dummy rules (out-of-band rules) from being persisted in state
- Added custom hash function with debug logging
- Added test case to verify no spurious diffs when modifying one rule
- Out-of-band rules are now logged as warnings but not added to state

All 12 acceptance tests passing (146.6 seconds total)
