Description

Ability to disable a device in the lightpath, e.g. to check what would happen if we pretend that the device is removed. This would be useful for devices that randomly start behaving poorly in terms of states, etc.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Python code that models lightpath devices and their states, then determine how a device can be treated as removed without changing its real state. Done should include a defined disable behavior and coverage for the affected state handling.
