Description of the problem:

Deploying a spoke cluster via image-based or assisted workflowa. BMH is provisoned. imageClusterInstall/agentClusterInstall reports installation completed. Spoke cluster is functional. clusterdeployments.hive.openshift.io  reports ClusterInstallRequirementsMet = false and "waiting for BMH provisioning state to be StateAvailable or StateExternallyProvisioned,current state is: registering". This blocks policy enforcement from proceeding.

Additional reports  that this affects agnet-based workflow as well.

Hub cluster must-gather and ACM must-gather are here.

How reproducible:

1/1 attempts

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install hub with OCP 4.20.3, ACM 2.14.2, MCE 2.9.2

2. Deploy spoke cluster via IBIor ACI workflow

3. Observe ici/aci and clusterdeployments CRs on spoke.

Actual results:

Cluster deploys, but clusterdeployments reports status=provisioning. Policies are not enforced.

Expected results:

Cluster deploys successfully

QE Hand Off Template (fill out when moving to Review) 11/20/25:

Summary of the Work:
What was implemented or fixed? Include a brief description of the problem (if applicable) and how it was addressed.
e.g., "Updated the UI to show validation errors for the form. The previous implementation did not surface backend validation issues."

Key Areas to Verify:

1. What functionality should QE focus on? List what was tested or what is most important to validate.
2. Ensure the new validation messages appear for required fields
3. Confirm the workflow still completes as expected after validation fixes
4. Any edge cases or high-risk areas touched by the change

Fix or Feature Availability:
When will this be available in a build?
