+Subject: [PATCH] fence_openstack: fix list-action to avoid timeout when there
+ are 100+ VMs on the hypervisor
+
+Routine `monitor` actions internally translate to a full `list` command.
+On large deployments, fetching all VMs from the Nova API creates massive
+payloads that cause the agent to timeout.
+
+Changes in this patch:
+* Fetch only 1 VM (`limit=1`) during `monitor` operations to eliminate
+API overhead and prevent timeouts.
