KVM / Libvirt StartVm
Start a KVM domain
Boots a libvirt domain if it isn't already running. Can optionally wait until the domain reaches RUNNING state using exponential retry up to timeToWait (default PT60S). Requires access to the target libvirt URI.

IGNOREFAILWARNAsset failure behavior
Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.
Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.
