Decide when to manage Talos Linux nodes with version-controlled MachineConfig manifests and when live talosctl API patches are safer, with concrete validation steps.

Talos nodes are configured exclusively through a declarative MachineConfig pushed with talosctl apply-config. A worked patch example, validation workflow, and the mistakes that actually strand nodes.
