Description

Today, Reconfigurator never changes the properties of an individual zone, except for the image source in some particular zone types (the ones that are updated in place). Blippy could check that none of the other properties are mutated between a blueprint and its parent.

(This originally came up in https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/pull/10331#discussion_r3170890713.)

Research direction

Start by tracing Reconfigurator's comparison between a blueprint and its parent, then find the existing Blippy checks for zone updates. Verify which zone types may change the image source and define the remaining zone properties that must stay unchanged. Done means the check detects those mutations without rejecting the permitted image-source updates.
