Separate tracked source from generated artifacts so the repo root stops accumulating helper scripts, manifests, and local runtime outputs.
Move manual shell entrypoints under scripts/, manifests under config/, and the Firecracker API reference under docs/reference/. Make build and runtimebundle now target build/bin, build/runtime, and build/dist as the canonical source-checkout paths.
Update runtime discovery, helper scripts, tests, and docs to follow the new layout while keeping legacy source-checkout runtime fallbacks for existing local bundles during migration.
Validated with bash -n on the moved scripts, make build, and GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./....
Stop relying on ad hoc rootfs handling by adding image promotion, managed work-seed fingerprint metadata, and lazy self-healing for older managed images after the first create.
Rebuild guest images with baked SSH access, a guest NIC bootstrap, and default opencode services, and add the staged Void kernel/initramfs/modules workflow so void-exp uses a matching Void boot stack.
Replace the opaque blocking vm.create RPC with a begin/status flow that prints live stages in the CLI while still waiting for vsock health and opencode on guest port 4096.
Validate with GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./... and live void-exp create/delete smoke runs.
Bring the experimental Void image closer to the default dev image path by installing pinned mise inside the rootfs build, using it to install opencode, and activating mise automatically for root bash sessions.
Keep the change scoped to the Void builder rather than packages.void so the image still stays language-agnostic at the package-manifest level, then clean mise download/cache artifacts before sealing the rootfs and work-seed.
Extend verify-void so the smoke path now proves mise and opencode are actually present in a fresh void-exp VM. Verified with bash -n make-rootfs-void.sh verify.sh, GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./..., and make build.
Make the local-only void-exp rootfs useful as a dev VM baseline by baking Docker and Compose into the XBPS package set instead of leaving container setup to manual follow-up.
Enable the docker runit service during image assembly, add a small boot preflight that loads the needed netfilter/overlay modules and applies the Docker sysctl file before dockerd starts, and keep the Void cleanup path removing caches, docs, and stale get-docker artifacts.
Refresh the README and repo guidance to describe Docker as part of the current Void image contract and to remind users that they need to rebuild and recreate Void VMs to pick it up.
Verified with bash -n make-rootfs-void.sh and git diff --check for the touched files. I did not run a live make rootfs-void or boot a fresh Void VM in this pass.
Make iterating on a Firecracker-friendly Void guest practical without replacing the Debian default image path.
Add local Void rootfs build/register/verify plumbing, a language-agnostic dev package baseline, and guest SSH/work-disk hardening so new images use the runtime bundle key, keep a normal root bash environment, and repair stale nested /root layouts on restart.
Replace the guest PING/PONG responder with an HTTP /healthz agent over vsock, rename the runtime bundle and config surface from ping helper to agent while still accepting the legacy keys, and route the post-SSH reminder through the new vm.health path.
Validated with GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./..., make build, bash -n customize.sh make-rootfs-void.sh, and git diff --check.
