🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Use past tense for consistency with other changelog entries.

The entry "Invalidate Config checksum after subnet provisioning" uses present tense ("Invalidate"), which is inconsistent with all other changelog entries that use past tense verbs (e.g., "Fixed", "Corrected", "Added"). Additionally, consider wrapping Config in double backticks since it appears to be a model/class name, consistent with how AbstractDevice and update_config are formatted in other entries.

📝 Suggested revision for consistency

-- Invalidate Config checksum after subnet provisioning
+- Invalidated ``Config`` checksum after subnet provisioning

Or alternatively, to match the "Fixed X" pattern used in other entries:

-- Invalidate Config checksum after subnet provisioning
+- Fixed ``Config`` checksum not being invalidated after subnet provisioning

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

	- Invalidate Config checksum after subnet provisioning
