Follow-up to NVIDIA#4223: machine-a-tron (NVIDIA#2764) landed in main after the release/v2.0 branch cut, so it first ships in v2.1.

Adds the machine-a-tron bullet under Validation & Testing in fern/changelog/2026-08-31.mdx.

Follow-up to NVIDIA#4223. Targeting this branch so it rides along when NVIDIA#4417 merges.

Applied — using ["next", "machine-a-tron", "redfish"] as suggested.

I feel like machine-a-tron might be a bigger deal than we're giving it credit for. Would it be worth adding some more details in the release notes? Or linking to its docs page (docs/development/machine-a-tron-deployment.md)?

Good call — expanded the entry considerably. Now covers what it does, the scale it's been validated at (4,500 hosts × 2 DPUs), how to deploy it, links to the deployment guide, and a note that v2.1 is the first release to ship it (not in release/v2.0).

machine-a-tron (NVIDIA#2764) landed in main after the release/v2.0 branch cut,
so it ships first in v2.1. Move the entry from the v2.0 changelog to the
new v2.1 file.
