--readonly ran `chmod -R a-w` over the workspace after copying, but
every banger guest boots as root, and root bypasses DAC mode checks.
So a user running `vm workspace prepare ... --readonly` got the
mode bits set to 0444 but `echo x >> file` in the guest still
succeeded. The flag promised enforcement it couldn't deliver.
The feature also doesn't match the product model: workspaces are
prepared precisely so the guest CAN edit them, and `workspace
export` exists to pull those edits back as a patch. A
"read-only workspace" contradicts that loop.
Removed:
- CLI flag `--readonly` on `vm workspace prepare`
- api.VMWorkspacePrepareParams.ReadOnly field
- model.WorkspacePrepareResult.ReadOnly field
- daemon chmod dispatch in prepareVMWorkspaceGuestIO
- smoke scenario pinning the (advisory) mode-bit behavior
- misleading "exportbox-readonly" VM name in an unrelated export
test (the test is about not mutating the real git index;
renamed to exportbox-noindex-mutation)
If real enforcement becomes a user need later, the right primitive
is `chattr +i` (immutable bit — root CAN'T write) or a ro bind-mount.
Reintroducing a new flag is cheaper than debugging what the current
one actually guarantees.

Two defects compounded to make `vm create X` → `vm stop X` → `vm start X`
→ `vm ssh X` fail with `not_running: vm X is not running` even though
`vm show` reports `state=running`.
1. firecracker-go-sdk's startVMM spawns a goroutine that SIGTERMs
firecracker when the ctx passed to Machine.Start cancels — and
retains that ctx for the lifetime of the VMM, not just the boot
phase. Our Machine.Start wrapper was plumbing the caller's ctx
through, which on `vm.start` is the RPC request ctx. daemon.go's
handleConn cancels reqCtx via `defer cancel()` right after
writing the response. Net effect: firecracker is killed ~150ms
after the `vm start` RPC "completes", invisibly, and the next
`vm ssh` sees a dead PID. `vm.create` side-stepped the bug
because BeginVMCreate detaches to context.Background() before
calling startVMLocked; `vm.start` used the RPC ctx directly.
Fix: Machine.Start now passes context.Background() to the SDK.
We own firecracker lifecycle explicitly (StopVM / KillVM /
cleanupRuntime), so ctx-driven cancellation here was never
actually wired into anything useful.
2. With (1) fixed, the same scenario exposed a second defect:
patchRootOverlay's e2cp/e2rm refuses to touch the dm-snapshot
with "Inode bitmap checksum does not match bitmap" on a restart,
because the COW holds stale free-block/free-inode counters from
the previous guest boot. Kernel ext4 is fine with this; e2fsprogs
is not. Fix: run `e2fsck -fy` on the snapshot between the
dm_snapshot and patch_root_overlay stages. Idempotent on a fresh
snapshot, reconciles the bitmaps on a reused COW.
Regression coverage:
- scripts/repro-restart-bug.sh — minimal create→stop→start→ssh
reproducer with rich on-failure diagnostics (daemon log trace,
firecracker.log tail, handles.json, pgrep-by-apiSock, apiSock
stat). Exits non-zero if the bug returns.
- scripts/smoke.sh — lifecycle scenario (create/ssh/stop/start/
ssh/delete) and vm-set scenario (--vcpu 2 → stop → set --vcpu 4
→ start → assert nproc=4). Both were pulled when the bug was
first found; now restored.
Supporting:
- internal/system/system.ExitCode — extracts exec.ExitError's
code without forcing callers to import os/exec. Needed by the
e2fsck caller (policy test pins os/exec to the shell-out
packages).

The export round-trip (`vm create` → `workspace prepare` → guest edit →
`workspace export`) exposed a reproducible failure on Debian bookworm
guests: `git read-tree HEAD --index-output=/tmp/...` returns exit 128
"unable to write new index file" when the target lives on tmpfs while
`.git` is on the workspace overlay. Move the temp index into
`$(git rev-parse --git-dir)` so it shares a filesystem with `.git/index`
and the lockfile + rename + hardlink dance git does internally works.
Alongside:
- new workspace-export smoke scenario that would have caught this at
the boundary between daemon and guest git
- `make smoke-fresh` = `smoke-clean && smoke` for release-time runs
that want first-install paths (migrations, image pull) stamped into
the coverage report
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The unit + integration tests can't cross machine.Start — the SDK
boundary would need a fake firecracker that reimplements the
control-plane HTTP API, and the ongoing maintenance cost of keeping
that fake honest with upstream kills the value. Instead, add a
pre-release smoke target that drives REAL Firecracker + real KVM,
captures coverage from the -cover-instrumented binaries, and
surfaces per-package deltas so regressions in the boot path don't
ship silently.
scripts/smoke.sh:
- Isolated XDG_{CONFIG,STATE,CACHE,RUNTIME} so the smoke run can't
touch real user state (state/cache persist under build/smoke/xdg
for fast reruns; runtime is mktemp'd fresh per-run because
sockets can't be reused)
- Preflight: `banger doctor` must pass; UDP :42069 must be free
(otherwise the user's real daemon is up and the smoke daemon
can't bind its DNS listener — fail with an actionable message)
- Scenario 1 — bare: `banger vm run --rm -- echo smoke-bare-ok`
exercises create → start → socket ownership chown → machine.Start
→ SDK waitForSocket race → vsock agent readiness → guest SSH
wait → exec → cleanup → delete
- Scenario 2 — workspace: creates a throwaway git repo, runs
`banger vm run --rm <repo> -- cat /root/repo/smoke-file.txt`,
verifies the tracked file reached the guest (exercises
workDisk capability PrepareHost + workspace.prepare)
- `banger daemon stop` at the end so instrumented binaries flush
GOCOVERDIR pods before the script exits
Makefile additions:
- smoke-build: builds banger/bangerd under build/smoke/bin/ with
`go build -cover`
- smoke: runs the script with GOCOVERDIR set, reports per-package
coverage via `go tool covdata percent`
- smoke-coverage-html: textfmt + go tool cover for a browsable
report
- smoke-clean: nukes build/smoke/ including the persisted XDG
state
Bonus fix uncovered during the first smoke run: doctor treated a
missing state.db as a FAIL ("out of memory" from SQLite
SQLITE_CANTOPEN), which red-flagged every fresh install. Split
the store check: DB file absent → PASS with "will be created on
first daemon start" detail; DB present but unreadable → FAIL as
before. New TestDoctorReport_StoreMissingSurfacesAsPassForFreshInstall
pins the behaviour.
Concrete coverage delta from the first successful smoke run
(compared to `make coverage-total`'s unit-test-only 37.8%):
internal/firecracker 43.6% → 75.0%
internal/daemon/workspace 33.8% → 60.8%
internal/store 40.1% → 56.3%
internal/guest 63.7% → 57.4% (different mix: smoke
exercises real SSH;
unit tests cover more
error branches)
The packages the review flagged are the ones that moved most —
which is the point.

Uses the newTestDaemon harness added earlier in this series to
drive VMService.CreateVM → FindVM → (duplicate CreateVM reject) →
DeleteVM through the real code path. Pins contracts the
single-responsibility tests can't:
- image resolution finds a locally-upserted row
- reserveVM allocates an IP, mkdirs VMDir, persists the Stopped
row
- FindVM round-trips the record
- duplicate-name CreateVM fails without persisting a second row
- DeleteVM runs cleanupRuntime with zero handles (no sudo calls
needed), removes the store row, removes the VMDir
Plus TestVMCreateWithUnknownImageFails for the error branch: if
CreateVM can't resolve an image, it must error before mutating
any state.
Scope: everything except firecracker boot. NoStart: true skips
machine.Start, which is the upstream SDK boundary we can't cross
without a real firecracker binary. The integration we GET
exercises name/IP reservation, per-VM lock lifecycle, store
round-trip, VMDir lifecycle, and the never-started delete path —
all of which were only indirectly covered by unit tests before.
-race clean across the two tests; nothing touches goroutines but
the harness does initialize the tap pool background goroutine on
wireServices, which the race detector validated.
Coverage is flat at the global level (37.8% → 37.8%) because
this slice tests integration of already-covered units, not new
branches. That's expected — the slice's value is as a regression
bedrock for future refactors, not a line-count bump.

Every non-happy branch in fcproc was zero-covered before this. Given
that EnsureSocketAccess gates the firecracker control plane on the
daemon's ability to chown the API + vsock sockets off root, those
failure paths are exactly the ones we need pinned.
New file internal/daemon/fcproc/fcproc_test.go adds a local scripted
Runner (fcproc is a leaf package — can't pull the daemon's
scriptedRunner in) and six tests:
waitForPath:
- TestWaitForPathReturnsDeadlineExceededWhenSocketNeverAppears —
timeout branch wraps context.DeadlineExceeded with the label,
and waits at least one poll tick before giving up
- TestWaitForPathReturnsOnceSocketAppears — happy path with a
mid-wait file creation via goroutine
- TestWaitForPathRespectsContextCancellation — ctx.Done() beats
the poll interval so a cancelled request doesn't stall
EnsureSocketAccess:
- TestEnsureSocketAccessChownFailureBubbles — chown error surfaces
untouched; chmod not attempted when chown fails
- TestEnsureSocketAccessChmodFailureBubbles — chmod error surfaces
after chown succeeds
- TestEnsureSocketAccessTimesOutBeforeTouchingRunner — ordering
contract: no sudo calls when the socket never materialises
Package function coverage moved 55.2% → 62.1%.
Integration-level chown-race test was considered (run a real shell
that exercises buildProcessRunner's script with a fake firecracker
binary) but skipped — requires `sudo -n` in the test env and makes
CI fragile. The socket-ownership regression this slice is meant to
guard against is covered at the unit level here; the
manual-smoke in the plan's verification section remains the
end-to-end check.

The symlink test in this commit catches a real bug: sameDirOrParent
used filepath.Abs for both sides of the "is the key inside the
legacy dir?" check, but filepath.Abs doesn't resolve symlinks. A
user whose ssh_key_path pointed into ConfigDir/ssh via a symlinked
spelling (e.g. ConfigDir itself is a symlink, or the user
maintains an alias tree) would have their key silently deleted by
the legacy-dir scrub — the gate thought the key lived elsewhere
because the two spellings didn't match lexically.
Fix: resolvePathForComparison tries filepath.EvalSymlinks first,
falls back to filepath.Abs when the path doesn't exist yet (new
install, pre-first-Open). Both sides of the sameDirOrParent
comparison now use this helper, so a symlinked key + canonical
dir (or the reverse) lands in the same physical path before the
Rel check.
Tests added in this commit:
internal/daemon/ssh_client_config_test.go
TestSameDirOrParentHandlesSymlinks — symlinked-key + canonical-dir
and the reverse are both reported "inside"; unrelated paths stay
out. Skips if the filesystem doesn't support symlinks.
internal/config/config_test.go
TestLoadNormalizesAbsoluteSSHKeyPath — trailing slash, duplicate
slashes, dot segments all collapse via filepath.Clean, so two
spellings of the same path compare equal downstream.
TestEnsureDefaultSSHKeyRejectsCorruptExistingFile — regression
guard against a future "regenerate if invalid" patch that would
silently nuke a real user key.
TestResolveSSHKeyPathRejectsEmptySSHDirAndStateDir — pins the
absolute-path guard that stops a bad layout from scribbling
into cwd (this was the test that caught the stray
internal/config/ssh/ a few commits back).

No Daemon test in this package has a shared constructor. Every file
re-derives the same pattern — &Daemon{...}, wireServices(d), maybe
override a field — which means new lifecycle / integration tests
spend half their length standing up infrastructure instead of
exercising behaviour.
Consolidate into internal/daemon/daemon_testing_test.go:
func newTestDaemon(t *testing.T, opts ...testDaemonOption) *Daemon
Defaults: tempdir layout (distinct StateDir/ConfigDir/SSHDir/...),
fresh store.Store with migrations auto-run, permissiveRunner,
io.Discard logger, empty vmCaps (so default workDisk/dns/nat
capabilities don't fire real side effects in tests that just want
to exercise VMService plumbing).
Options so far:
- withRunner(system.CommandRunner)
- withConfig(model.DaemonConfig)
- withStore(*store.Store)
- withLogger(*slog.Logger)
- withLayout(paths.Layout)
- withVMCaps(caps ...vmCapability)
- withVsockHostDevice(string)
withVMCaps tracks a vmCapsSet flag so tests that explicitly pass no
caps (i.e. the default) still get the empty-slice behaviour — the
reset after wireServices only fires when the caller didn't opt in.
That keeps wireServices's production semantics unchanged: if you
construct a real Daemon without pre-populating vmCaps, you still
get the default three.
Two smoke tests pin:
- zero-option call wires every service, gives an empty-vmCaps
daemon with the default vsock device, store non-nil
- each option actually lands on the resulting Daemon (guards
against silent rename)
Existing tests unchanged — this is purely additive. Later slices
(Firecracker error-path tests, store migration edges, lifecycle
flow harness) will adopt the helper.

Bug: syncVMSSHClientConfig did os.RemoveAll on $ConfigDir/ssh every
daemon Open. The intent was to migrate off the pre-opt-in layout,
where banger used to write $ConfigDir/ssh/ssh_config. But a user who
sets ssh_key_path = "~/.config/banger/ssh/id_ed25519" in config.toml
has their key live exactly in that dir — and the scrub deletes it
along with every other file in the tree.
This is the same class of bug that cost the default key until
ebe6517 moved it to StateDir, but that fix was scoped to the default
path. A configured ssh_key_path pointed under the legacy dir still
dies.
Fix: replace os.RemoveAll with a narrow two-step cleanup:
1. Skip the cleanup entirely when the configured ssh_key_path
resolves under the legacy dir. A user who pointed banger at a
key there must keep the enclosing directory.
2. Otherwise, os.Remove the specific legacy file ($ConfigDir/ssh/
ssh_config) and then os.Remove the directory. The second
os.Remove fails with ENOTEMPTY if the dir still holds anything
(e.g. a user-managed sibling file we don't own). Both errors
are swallowed — this is best-effort migration, not a hard
failure.
Tests pin all three paths: user key under legacy dir survives,
legacy dir empties and is removed when the user moved on, and a
user-managed sibling file in the legacy dir is preserved.
Also fix stale doc claims in README.md and AGENTS.md — both still
pointed at the old ~/.config/banger/ssh/id_ed25519 default, which
moved to ~/.local/state/banger/ssh/id_ed25519 in ebe6517.

Four drift fixes from a doc sweep.
internal/daemon/doc.go
Replace the capability-hook description that still said "Hook
methods take *Daemon; VMService reaches them through a
capabilityHooks seam." Current reality: every capability is a
plain struct carrying its own service pointers
(workDiskCapability{vm,ws,store}, dnsCapability{net},
natCapability{vm,net,logger}); wireServices builds the default
list; no hook reaches *Daemon.
internal/daemon/ARCHITECTURE.md
The VMService field list still claimed guestWaitForSSH and
guestDial were "per-instance fields." Those were deleted as
refactor residue. Update the note to say the seams live on
*Daemon (reached by WorkspaceService via closures wired at
construction) and document the vsockHostDevice field that
replaced the old package-global vsockHostDevicePath.
AGENTS.md
Drop the "experimental web UI" mention (removed) and the
`session` subpackage (removed). Mention banger-vsock-agent as
the third cmd/ binary while we're here — AGENTS hadn't listed
it.
docs/kernel-catalog.md
The trust-model section still read as if upstream kernel sources
were fetched by HTTPS alone. Add a paragraph covering the PGP
verification make-generic-kernel.sh now does against the
detached .tar.sign and the three kernel.org release signing keys.

Three thematic test files pinning behavior surfaces that had none
before, following the review's recommendation to plug concrete
error/cleanup branches rather than chase a coverage percentage.
doctor_test.go
Covers Daemon.doctorReport end-to-end with a permissive runner +
fake executables on PATH. Pins: store error surfaces as fail,
store success as pass, missing firecracker kills the host-runtime
check, the three default capability feature checks (work disk,
vm dns, nat) are emitted, vm-defaults is always-pass with
provenance. Previously 0% — now the Doctor() command's contract
with the CLI is under guard.
workspace_rejection_test.go
Covers the four early-exit branches of PrepareVMWorkspace that
the existing happy-path + lock-release tests never hit: malformed
mode, --from without --branch, VM not running, VM not found.
Each one returns before any SSH I/O, so the fake-firecracker
infra the happy-path test needs is unnecessary — a bare wired
daemon with a stored VMRecord suffices.
nat_capability_test.go
Covers natCapability.ApplyConfigChange (unchanged flag → no-op,
VM not alive → no-op, toggle on live VM → runner reached) and
natCapability.Cleanup (NAT disabled → no-op, runtime handles
missing → defensive no-op, full wiring → ensureNAT(false)). A
countingRunner + startFakeFirecracker fixture stands in for the
real host plumbing, with waitForVMAlive polling past the
exec -a race window that startFakeFirecracker exposes on
loaded CI boxes.
make coverage-total 37.8% → 38.6%. The number isn't the point —
these tests exist so the next refactor in this area has to
break an explicit assertion to drift.

VMService carried guestWaitForSSH and guestDial fields + matching
constructor args ever since the daemon split, but nothing on
VMService ever read them. The live guest-SSH path runs on *Daemon
(d.waitForGuestSSH / d.dialGuest in guest_ssh.go); WorkspaceService
reaches those through closures wired in wireServices.
So the VMService copies were refactor residue: they made the
service look more decoupled than it actually is, and any future
test that stubbed VMService.guestDial would be stubbing nothing.
Delete the fields, the deps entries, the newVMService assignments,
and the wireServices passes.
Real seams on *Daemon are unchanged — those are the ones tests
(e.g. workspace_test.go) already set directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three test seams were still package-level mutable vars, which tests
had to swap before use. That's the classic path to flaky parallel
tests — two goroutines fighting over the same global fake. Push each
down to the struct that owns the behaviour.
internal/daemon/dns_routing.go
lookupExecutableFunc + vmDNSAddrFunc → fields on *HostNetwork,
defaulted at newHostNetwork time. dns_routing_test builds
HostNetwork{..., lookupExecutable: stub, vmDNSAddr: stub} inline,
no more t.Cleanup dance around package-level vars.
internal/daemon/preflight.go + doctor.go
vsockHostDevicePath (mutable string) → vsockHostDevice field on
*VMService, defaulted via defaultVsockHostDevice constant in
newVMService. Preflight reads s.vsockHostDevice; doctor reads
d.vm.vsockHostDevice. Logger test sets d.vm.vsockHostDevice = tmp
after wireServices.
internal/daemon/workspace/workspace.go
HostCommandOutputFunc → *Inspector struct with a Runner field.
Every git-using helper (GitOutput, GitTrimmedOutput,
GitResolvedConfigValue, RunHostCommand, ListSubmodules,
ListOverlayPaths, CountUntrackedPaths, InspectRepo,
ImportRepoToGuest, PrepareRepoCopy) is now a method on *Inspector.
NewInspector() wraps the real host runner for production;
WorkspaceService holds one via repoInspector, CLI deps holds one
too. cli_test.go's submodule-rejection test builds its own
Inspector with a scripted Runner instead of patching a global.
Pure helpers (FinalizeScript, ResolveSourcePath, ParsePrepareMode,
ShellQuote, FormatStepError, GitFileURL, ParseNullSeparatedOutput)
stay free functions since they don't touch the host.
Sentinel: grep for HostCommandOutputFunc, lookupExecutableFunc,
vmDNSAddrFunc, vsockHostDevicePath is now empty across internal/.
make lint test green.

`banger doctor` used to call store.Open, which unconditionally runs
migrations on the way up. Diagnostics mutating persistent state is a
surprise — particularly now that migration 2 drops a column, so a
plain `doctor` invocation against an old DB would silently schema-
evolve it.
Add store.OpenReadOnly: separate DSN builder with mode=ro and a
minimal pragma set (foreign_keys, busy_timeout — no journal_mode=WAL,
no wal_autocheckpoint), skips runMigrations, and pings on open so a
missing DB fails up front rather than at first query. doctor.go now
uses OpenReadOnly; the existing storeErr fallback path surfaces any
failure as a failing check, unchanged.
Tests pin two invariants:
- OpenReadOnly against a DB whose migration 2 marker was removed and
packages_path re-added must leave both alone (i.e. no drift is
applied behind the user's back).
- Any write attempted through the read-only handle is rejected at
the driver layer (belt-and-braces for future refactors).

Three drift items surfaced in review, each dead on arrival and each
worth trusting a little more at v0.1.0.
config: drop MetricsPollInterval. The field was parsed from TOML
(metrics_poll_interval), stored on DaemonConfig, and ignored by every
consumer — only StatsPollInterval drives the background poll loop.
Users setting it in config.toml saw zero effect. Removed from the TOML
surface, the model constant, and the config test.
daemon: delete ensureDefaultImage. No callers, body was `_ = ctx;
return nil`. Dead since whatever flow used to call it got removed.
store: drop packages_path from the images table. The column was
carried by the baseline migration but never referenced by UpsertImage
(no INSERT / UPDATE mention) or any Go model field — a ghost from a
build pipeline that no longer exists. Added migration id=2
(drop_dead_image_columns) with an idempotent dropColumnIfExists
helper: fresh installs run baseline (creates the column) + 2 (drops
it); legacy DBs where the column was never added get a no-op. Updated
the direct-INSERT SQL in TestGetImageRejectsMalformedTimestamp to
drop the column reference, and added a migration test covering both
install paths (fresh + legacy).

Workspace-mode vm run and vm workspace prepare used to copy both
tracked AND untracked non-ignored files into the guest. That silently
catches local .env files, scratch notes, credentials, and any other
working-tree state a developer hasn't explicitly gitignored — a real
data-exposure footgun given the golden image ships Docker and the
usual dev tooling.
Flip the default to tracked-only. Users who actually want the fuller
set opt in with --include-untracked (documented in both commands'
help). Gitignored files are still always excluded regardless of the
flag.
Add --dry-run to both vm run and vm workspace prepare. Dry-run
inspects the repo CLI-side (no VM created, no daemon RPC needed since
the daemon is always local and the inspection is a pure git read),
prints the exact file list + mode, and exits. A byte-level preview of
what would land in the guest.
When running real (non-dry) and untracked files exist in the repo but
are being skipped under the new default, print a one-line notice
pointing to --include-untracked so users aren't surprised when the
guest is missing something they expected.
Signature changes:
- ListOverlayPaths takes an includeUntracked bool (tracked always;
untracked gated by flag).
- InspectRepo takes the same flag and passes it through.
- VMWorkspacePrepareParams gains IncludeUntracked.
- WorkspaceService.workspaceInspectRepo seam signature widened to
match (4 callers in tests updated).
New workspace package tests cover both modes and verify that
gitignored files never leak regardless of the flag.

Update ARCHITECTURE.md's Composition section to reflect the finished
split: capabilities carry explicit service-pointer fields, nothing
reaches *Daemon at dispatch time, and wireServices(d) is the single
entry point that builds services + capabilities eagerly (from Open
in production, from tests after constructing &Daemon{...} literals).
Removes the paragraph admitting capability→*Daemon coupling and the
lazy-init getters justification, neither of which applies anymore.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Stop passing *Daemon into capability hooks. Each capability
implementation is now a struct with explicit service-pointer fields
populated at wireServices time; the six dynamic-dispatch interfaces
(AddStartPreflight, PrepareHost, PostStart, Cleanup, ApplyConfigChange,
AddDoctorChecks) no longer have a *Daemon parameter. Capability
methods reach their dependencies through struct fields, not through
d.vm / d.ws / d.net.
- workDiskCapability carries {vm, ws, store, defaultImageName}
- dnsCapability carries {net}
- natCapability carries {vm, net, logger}
Daemon.defaultCapabilities() builds the production list from the
already-constructed services and is called from wireServices so
d.vmCaps is populated eagerly. Tests that preinstall d.vmCaps with
stubs still work — wireServices only overwrites an empty slice.
registeredCapabilities() is gone (every dispatch loop now reads
d.vmCaps directly). capabilities_test.go's testCapability fake drops
*Daemon from its method set to match the new interfaces.
This finishes the daemon service split: capability implementations
no longer reach through the composition root, there's no path back
to *Daemon from any service or capability, and test construction
goes through one explicit wireServices call instead of lazy getters.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Factor the service + capability wiring out of Daemon.Open() into
wireServices(d), an idempotent helper that constructs HostNetwork,
ImageService, WorkspaceService, and VMService from whatever
infrastructure (runner, store, config, layout, logger, closing) is
already set on d. Open() calls it once after filling the composition
root; tests that build &Daemon{...} literals call it to get a working
service graph, preinstalling stubs on the fields they want to fake.
Drops the four lazy-init getters on *Daemon — d.hostNet(),
d.imageSvc(), d.workspaceSvc(), d.vmSvc() — whose sole purpose was
keeping test literals working. Every production call site now reads
d.net / d.img / d.ws / d.vm directly; the services are guaranteed
non-nil once Open returns. No behavior change.
Mechanical: all existing `d.xxxSvc()` calls (production + tests)
rewritten to field access; each `d := &Daemon{...}` in tests gets a
trailing wireServices(d) so the literal + wiring are side-by-side.
Tests that override a pre-built service (e.g. d.img = &ImageService{
bundleFetch: stub}) now set the override before wireServices so the
replacement propagates into VMService's peer pointer.
Also nil-guards HostNetwork.stopVMDNS and d.store in Close() so
partially-initialised daemons (pre-reconcile open failure) still
tear down cleanly — same contract the old lazy getters provided.

Phase 5 of the daemon god-struct refactor. Code motion landed in
phases 1-4; this commit retells the architecture so the docs match
the structure.
ARCHITECTURE.md loses the "deferred v0.2 project" hedge about
splitting services. The Composition section now describes the four
services (HostNetwork, ImageService, WorkspaceService, VMService)
that own behaviour, the consumer-defined seam pattern for
cross-service calls, and the lazy-init getter pattern that keeps
existing test literals compiling.
doc.go inventories which methods live on which service, and the
lock-ordering section gains the service prefixes (e.g.
VMService.vmLocks instead of bare vmLocks) so readers don't have to
guess which type owns which mutex.
No code changes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 4 of the daemon god-struct refactor. VM lifecycle, create-op
registry, handle cache, disk provisioning, stats polling, ports
query, and the per-VM lock set all move off *Daemon onto *VMService.
Daemon keeps thin forwarders only for FindVM / TouchVM (dispatch
surface) and is otherwise out of VM lifecycle. Lazy-init via
d.vmSvc() mirrors the earlier services so test literals like
\`&Daemon{store: db, runner: r}\` still get a functional service
without spelling one out.
Three small cleanups along the way:
* preflight helpers (validateStartPrereqs / addBaseStartPrereqs
/ addBaseStartCommandPrereqs / validateWorkDiskResizePrereqs)
move with the VM methods that call them.
* cleanupRuntime / rebuildDNS move to *VMService, with
HostNetwork primitives (findFirecrackerPID, cleanupDMSnapshot,
killVMProcess, releaseTap, waitForExit, sendCtrlAltDel)
reached through s.net instead of the hostNet() facade.
* vsockAgentBinary becomes a package-level function so both
*Daemon (doctor) and *VMService (preflight) call one entry
point instead of each owning a forwarder method.
WorkspaceService's peer deps switch from eager method values to
closures — vmSvc() constructs VMService with WorkspaceService as a
peer, so resolving d.vmSvc().FindVM at construction time recursed
through workspaceSvc() → vmSvc(). Closures defer the lookup to call
time.
Pure code motion: build + unit tests green, lint clean. No RPC
surface or lock-ordering changes.

Third phase of splitting the daemon god-struct. WorkspaceService now
owns workspace.prepare / workspace.export plus the ssh-key +
git-identity + arbitrary-file sync that runs as part of VM start's
prepare_work_disk capability hook. workspaceLocks (the per-VM tar
serialisation set) lives on the service.
workspace.go and vm_authsync.go flipped receivers from *Daemon to
*WorkspaceService. The workspaceInspectRepo / workspaceImport test
seams moved onto the service as fields.
Peer-service dependencies go through narrow function-typed fields:
vmResolver, aliveChecker, waitGuestSSH, dialGuest, imageResolver,
imageWorkSeed, withVMLockByRef, beginOperation. WorkspaceService
never touches VMService / HostNetwork / ImageService directly —
only the exact operations the Daemon hands it at construction.
Daemon lazy-init helper workspaceSvc() mirrors the Phase 1/2
pattern. Test literals still write `&Daemon{store: db, runner: r}`
and get a wired workspace service for free. Tests that override the
inspect/import seams (workspace_test.go, ~4 sites) assign them on
d.workspaceSvc() instead of on the daemon literal.
Dispatch in daemon.go: vm.workspace.prepare and vm.workspace.export
now forward one-liners to d.workspaceSvc().

Second phase of splitting the daemon god-struct. ImageService now owns
all image + kernel registry operations: register/promote/delete/pull
for images (bundle + OCI paths), the six kernel commands, and the
shared SSH-key/work-seed injection helpers. imageOpsMu (the
publication-window lock) lives on the service; so do the three OCI
pull test seams pullAndFlatten / finalizePulledRootfs / bundleFetch.
The four files images.go, images_pull.go, image_seed.go, kernels.go
flipped their receivers from *Daemon to *ImageService.
FindImage moved with the service. Daemon keeps a thin FindImage
forwarder so callers reading the dispatch code see the obvious
facade and tests that pre-date the split still compile.
flattenNestedWorkHome — called from image_seed.go, vm_authsync.go,
and vm_disk.go across future service boundaries — became a
package-level helper taking a CommandRunner explicitly. Daemon keeps
a deprecated forwarder for now; the other services will use the
package form.
Lazy-init helper imageSvc() on Daemon mirrors hostNet() from
Phase 1, so test literals like &Daemon{store: db, runner: r, ...}
that don't spell out an ImageService still get a working one.
Tests that override the image test seams (autopull_test,
concurrency_test, images_pull_test, images_pull_bundle_test) now
assign d.img = &ImageService{...seams...}; the two-statement pattern
matches what Phase 1 established for HostNetwork.
Dispatch in daemon.go is cleaner now: every image/kernel RPC handler
is a single-liner forwarding to d.imageSvc().*. Phase 5 will do the
same for VM lifecycle.

First phase of splitting the daemon god-struct into focused services
with explicit ownership.
HostNetwork now owns everything host-networking: the TAP interface
pool (initializeTapPool / ensureTapPool / acquireTap / releaseTap /
createTap), bridge + socket dir setup, firecracker process primitives
(find/resolve/kill/wait/ensureSocketAccess/sendCtrlAltDel), DM
snapshot lifecycle, NAT rule enforcement, guest DNS server lifecycle
+ routing setup, and the vsock-agent readiness probe. That's 7 files
whose receivers flipped from *Daemon to *HostNetwork, plus a new
host_network.go that declares the struct, its hostNetworkDeps, and
the factored firecracker + DNS helpers that used to live in vm.go.
Daemon gives up the tapPool and vmDNS fields entirely; they're now
HostNetwork's business. Construction goes through newHostNetwork in
Daemon.Open with an explicit dependency bag (runner, logger, config,
layout, closing). A lazy-init hostNet() helper on Daemon supports
test literals that don't wire net explicitly — production always
populates it eagerly.
Signature tightenings where the old receiver reached into VM-service
state:
- ensureNAT(ctx, vm, enable) → ensureNAT(ctx, guestIP, tap, enable).
Callers resolve tap from the handle cache themselves.
- initializeTapPool(ctx) → initializeTapPool(usedTaps []string).
Daemon.Open enumerates VMs, collects taps from handles, hands the
slice in.
rebuildDNS stays on *Daemon as the orchestrator — it filters by
vm-alive (a VMService concern handles will move to in phase 4) then
calls HostNetwork.replaceDNS with the already-filtered map.
Capability hooks continue to take *Daemon; they now use it as a
facade to reach services (d.net.ensureNAT, d.hostNet().*). Planned
CapabilityHost interface extraction is orthogonal, left for later.
Tests: dns_routing_test.go + fastpath_test.go + nat_test.go +
snapshot_test.go + open_close_test.go were touched to construct
HostNetwork literals where they exercise its methods directly, or
route through d.hostNet() where they exercise the Daemon entry
points.

reserveVM's duplicate-name guard routed through Daemon.FindVM, which
falls back to prefix-matching on both ids and names when no exact
match is found. That turns the uniqueness check into a correctness
bug: a brand-new VM name can be rejected because it happens to
prefix an existing VM's id, or an existing VM's name. So `vm create
--name beta` fails when `beta-sandbox` already exists.
Swap in a dedicated store.GetVMByName that does a literal `WHERE
name = ?` lookup, and use it from reserveVM. FindVM keeps its
prefix-matching behaviour for user-facing lookup paths (`vm ssh
<partial>`, `vm stop <partial>`) where "did you mean" semantics
are the feature.
Tests:
- TestReserveVMAllowsNameThatPrefixesExistingVM — seeds a VM whose
id + name both start with "longname", then reserves two new VMs
named "longname" and "longname-sandbox". Both must succeed.
Under the old FindVM-based check, both would fail.
- TestReserveVMRejectsExactDuplicateName — actual collisions are
still rejected after the swap.

Before this change, every daemon.Open() wrote a Host *.vm stanza into
~/.ssh/config in a marker-fenced block. That's a real footgun for users
who manage their SSH config declaratively (chezmoi, dotfiles, NixOS):
banger was mutating host state outside its own directory on every
daemon start, easy to miss and hard to audit.
New contract: the daemon only ever writes its own ssh_config file at
~/.config/banger/ssh_config. ~/.ssh/config is untouched unless the user
opts in. `banger vm ssh <name>` still works out of the box — the
shortcut only matters for plain `ssh sandbox.vm` from any terminal.
The opt-in surface is `banger ssh-config`:
banger ssh-config # prints path + include-line +
# install/uninstall hints
banger ssh-config --install # adds `Include <bangerConfig>` to
# ~/.ssh/config inside a marker-fenced
# block; idempotent; migrates any
# legacy inline Host *.vm block from
# pre-opt-in builds
banger ssh-config --uninstall # removes the new Include block AND
# any legacy inline block
Doctor gains a gentle warn-level note when banger's ssh_config exists
but the user hasn't wired it in — not a fail, since the shortcut is
convenience and `banger vm ssh` covers the essential case.
Tests cover: daemon writes banger file and does NOT touch ~/.ssh/config,
Install adds the block, Install is idempotent, Install migrates the
legacy inline block cleanly (removing it, preserving unrelated
entries, adding the new Include block), Uninstall removes both marker
variants, Uninstall is a no-op when ~/.ssh/config is absent, and
UserSSHIncludeInstalled detects both marker shapes.
README reframes the feature as optional convenience.

Before: createVMMu was held across the whole of CreateVM — including
image resolution (which could fire a full auto-pull) and startVMLocked
(boot of multiple seconds). imageOpsMu was held across the whole of
PullImage/RegisterImage/PromoteImage/DeleteImage, so any slow OCI pull,
bundle download, or file copy blocked every other image mutation and
every other VM create that needed to auto-pull. The async create API
bought nothing if all creates serialised on the same mutex.
CreateVM is now three phases:
1. Validate + resolve image (possibly auto-pulling). No global lock.
2. reserveVM: take createVMMu only long enough to re-check the name
is free, allocate the next guest IP, and UpsertVM the "created"
row. Milliseconds.
3. startVMLocked: run the full boot flow under the per-VM lock only.
Parallel creates of different VMs now overlap on image resolution +
boot; they contend only across the reservation claim.
For the image surface a new publishImage helper isolates the commit
atom (recheck name free, atomic rename stagingDir→finalDir, UpsertImage)
under imageOpsMu. pullFromBundle + pullFromOCI do their network fetch
+ ext4 build + ownership fixup + agent injection outside the lock;
Register moves validation + kernel resolution outside; Promote moves
file copy + SSH-key seeding outside; Delete keeps a brief lock over
the lookup + reference check + store delete and does file cleanup
unlocked.
Two concurrency tests assert the new behaviour:
- TestPullImageDoesNotSerialiseOnDifferentNames fails the old code
(second pull blocks on imageOpsMu and never reaches the body).
- TestPullImageRejectsNameClashAtPublish confirms the publish-window
recheck is what enforces name uniqueness now that the body runs
unlocked — exactly one winner.
ARCHITECTURE.md updated to describe the new scope explicitly instead
of calling the locks "narrow".

The README sold the product as "Linux with /dev/kvm"; the deeper docs
admit that the Makefile pins companion builds to GOARCH=amd64, the
kernel catalog ships only x86_64 entries, and OCI import pulls
linux/amd64 layers. arm64 users who show up through the README only
discover that after install fails in non-obvious ways.
Two surface-level fixes:
- README requirements list leads with "x86_64 / amd64 Linux — arm64 is
not supported today", with a short note on the three places that
assumption lives so users understand it's not a last-mile gap.
- `banger doctor` now runs an architecture check that passes on amd64
and FAILS (not warns) on anything else, referencing the three
downstream assumptions. Hard-fail rather than warn so a user on an
arm64 machine doesn't waste time chasing unrelated preflight items.

Two promises the doc was making that the code doesn't keep:
1. "Helpers moved out so the package stays focused on orchestration."
The package still has ~29 files and ~130 func (d *Daemon) methods
wiring VM lifecycle, image management, host networking, background
reconciliation, and JSON-RPC dispatch. Calling it "just orchestration"
sets readers up for surprise. Rewrite the subpackages preamble to
say so, and flag the service split as a post-v0.1.0 project.
2. "vmLocks[id] is held only across short synchronous state validation
and DB mutations." That's what workspace.prepare does; regular
lifecycle ops (start/stop/delete/set) go through withVMLockByRef
and hold the lock across the whole callback body, which for `start`
means preflight + bridge + firecracker spawn + post-boot wiring.
Rewrite the vmLocks bullet and the lock-ordering section to say
that explicitly, so readers don't build "surely my long flow under
the lock can't be what the doc means" reasoning on top of a false
premise.
Doc-only change. Code behaviour is unchanged.

Previously the daemon socket, per-VM firecracker API socket, and vsock
socket were transiently world-exposed on hosts without XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
the runtime directory landed in /tmp at 0755, Firecracker ran with
umask 000 (mode 0666 sockets), and only a follow-up chown/chmod in
EnsureSocketAccess tightened them. A local attacker could race into
bangerd.sock or the firecracker API socket during that window.
Three changes:
- internal/paths/paths.go: RuntimeDir is now created (and re-chmod'd if
stale) at 0700 unconditionally. When XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is unset and we
fall back to /tmp/banger-runtime-<uid>, Ensure() now verifies the
parent dir is owned by the current uid and 0700 mode — refusing to
place sockets inside a directory someone else created. Symlink swaps
rejected via Lstat.
- internal/firecracker/client.go: launch firecracker with umask 077
instead of umask 000 so the API socket is mode 0600 from birth. The
chown in fcproc.EnsureSocketAccess still transfers ownership from
root to the invoking user afterwards.
- internal/daemon/fcproc/fcproc.go: EnsureSocketDir now creates (and
re-chmod's) the runtime socket directory at 0700.
Tests cover the tightening path — an existing 0755 RuntimeDir is
re-chmod'd on Ensure.

Cuts the daemon-managed guest-session machinery (start/list/show/
logs/stop/kill/attach/send). The feature shipped aimed at agent-
orchestration workflows (programmatic stdin piping into a long-lived
guest process) that aren't driving any concrete user today, and the
~2.3K LOC of daemon surface area — attach bridge, FIFO keepalive,
controller registry, sessionstream framing, SQLite persistence — was
locking in an API we'd have to keep through v0.1.0.
Anything session-flavoured that people actually need today can be
done with `vm ssh + tmux` or `vm run -- cmd`.
Deleted:
- internal/cli/commands_vm_session.go
- internal/daemon/{guest_sessions,session_lifecycle,session_attach,session_stream,session_controller}.go
- internal/daemon/session/ (guest-session helpers package)
- internal/sessionstream/ (framing package)
- internal/daemon/guest_sessions_test.go
- internal/store/guest_session_test.go
- GuestSession* types from internal/{api,model}
- Store UpsertGuestSession/GetGuestSession/ListGuestSessionsByVM/DeleteGuestSession + scanner helpers
- guest.session.* RPC dispatch entries
- 5 CLI session tests, 2 completion tests, 2 printer tests
Extracted:
- ShellQuote + FormatStepError lifted to internal/daemon/workspace/util.go
(only non-session consumer); workspace package now self-contained
- internal/daemon/guest_ssh.go keeps guestSSHClient + dialGuest +
waitForGuestSSH — still used by workspace prepare/export
- internal/daemon/fake_firecracker_test.go preserves the test helper
that used to live in guest_sessions_test.go
Store schema: CREATE TABLE guest_sessions and its column migrations
removed. Existing dev DBs keep an orphan table (harmless, pre-v0.1.0).

CLI: introduce internal/cli.deps which owns every RPC/SSH/host-command
seam the tree used to reach through mutable package vars. Command
builders, orchestrators, and the completion helpers become methods on
*deps. Tests construct their own deps per case, so fakes no longer leak
across cases and tests are free to run in parallel.
Daemon: move workspaceInspectRepoFunc + workspaceImportFunc onto the
Daemon struct (workspaceInspectRepo / workspaceImport), mirroring the
existing guestWaitForSSH / guestDial pattern. Workspace-prepare tests
drop t.Parallel() guards now that they no longer mutate process-wide
state.

Guest host-key verification was off in all three SSH paths:
* Go SSH (internal/guest/ssh.go) used ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey
* `banger vm ssh` passed StrictHostKeyChecking=no
+ UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
* `~/.ssh/config` Host *.vm shipped the same posture into the
user's global config
Now each path verifies against a banger-owned known_hosts file at
`~/.local/state/banger/ssh/known_hosts` with TOFU semantics:
* First dial to a VM pins the key.
* Subsequent dials require an exact match. A mismatch fails with
an explicit "possible MITM" error.
* `vm delete` removes the entries so a future VM reusing the IP
or name re-pins cleanly.
* The user's `~/.ssh/known_hosts` is untouched.
Changes:
internal/guest/known_hosts.go (new) — OpenSSH-compatible parser,
TOFUHostKeyCallback, RemoveKnownHosts. Process-wide mutex
around the file.
internal/guest/ssh.go — Dial and WaitForSSH grew a knownHostsPath
parameter threaded through the callback. Empty path keeps the
insecure callback (tests + throwaway tools only; documented).
internal/daemon/{guest_sessions,session_attach,session_lifecycle,
session_stream}.go — call sites pass d.layout.KnownHostsPath.
internal/daemon/ssh_client_config.go — the ~/.ssh/config Host *.vm
block now points at banger's known_hosts and uses
StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new. Missing path → fail closed.
internal/daemon/vm_lifecycle.go — deleteVMLocked drops known_hosts
entries for the VM's IP and DNS name via removeVMKnownHosts.
internal/cli/banger.go — sshCommandArgs swaps StrictHostKeyChecking
no + /dev/null for banger's file + accept-new. Path resolution
failure falls through to StrictHostKeyChecking=yes.
internal/paths/paths.go — Layout gains SSHDir + KnownHostsPath;
Ensure creates SSHDir at 0700.
Tests (internal/guest/known_hosts_test.go): pin on first use, accept
matching key on second dial, reject mismatch, empty path skips
checking, RemoveKnownHosts drops the entry, re-pin works after
remove. Existing daemon + cli tests updated to assert the new
posture and regression-guard against the old flags.
Live verified: vm run writes the pin to banger's known_hosts at 0600
inside a 0700 dir; banger vm ssh + ssh root@<vm>.vm both succeed
using the pin; vm delete clears it.
Open() touched several pieces of host state before hitting the step
that returned the error:
* SQLite handle (store.Open)
* managed SSH client config block (ensureVMSSHClientConfig)
* vm-DNS UDP listener goroutine (startVMDNS)
* systemd-resolved per-interface routing (ensureVMDNSResolverRouting)
The only deferred cleanup guarded stopVMDNS. A reconcile() or
initializeTapPool() failure therefore left the listener running, the
resolver wiring in place, and the SQLite handle open. A subsequent
startup attempt ran into "port 42069 already in use" or silently
published stale state.
Fix: once `d` exists, defer `d.Close()` on `err != nil`. Close is
idempotent (sync.Once) and every teardown step (listener close, DNS
listener close, resolver revert, session registry close, store close)
is nil-guarded, so calling it on a daemon that never got past the
first startup step is safe.
Tests (internal/daemon/open_close_test.go):
- TestCloseOnPartiallyInitialisedDaemon: Close survives a daemon
with only store + closing channel, and with a vmDNS listener but
nothing else. Catches regressions where a teardown step forgets
to nil-check.
- TestCloseIdempotentUnderConcurrency: 5 goroutines racing on
Close() never panic (sync.Once + close(d.closing) survive).
- TestOpenFailureRunsCloseCleanup: structural check that the
`defer cleanup() if err != nil` pattern actually fires.
Live: `banger daemon stop` cleanly, `banger vm ls` restarts daemon
without a residual listener on port 42069.
The web UI shipped as "experimental" and was never finished — no nav
off the dashboard, no live updates, no settled design, never a
supported surface. It was opt-in by default already; leaving the code
in the tree for v0.1.0 only invited "does this work?" questions and
kept HostSummary/BangerSummary/SudoStatus types on the public RPC
surface that nothing else uses.
Removed:
internal/webui/ (all Go + templates + assets)
internal/daemon/web.go (server start / Layout / Config / ListVMs / ListImages)
internal/daemon/dashboard.go (DashboardSummary aggregator)
Simplified:
internal/api/types.go drop WebURL on PingResult, drop
HostSummary / SudoStatus / BangerSummary /
DashboardSummary / DashboardSummaryResult
internal/model/types.go drop DaemonConfig.WebListenAddr
internal/config/config.go drop web_listen_addr from fileConfig + Load
internal/daemon/daemon.go drop webListener / webServer / webURL fields +
startWebServer() call + ping WebURL population
internal/cli/banger.go `daemon status` output no longer branches on web
internal/daemon/{doc.go,ARCHITECTURE.md} drop web UI sections
README.md drop web_listen_addr config bullet + security paragraph
Tests updated to reflect the new shape. Coverage 57.3 -> 58.9% (the
webui package was largely untested; its removal lifts the ratio
without moving the numerator). `banger daemon status` output and
--help are web-free. Lint + full suite green.
Separates what a VM IS (durable intent + identity + deterministic
derived paths — `VMRuntime`) from what is CURRENTLY TRUE about it
(firecracker PID, tap device, loop devices, dm-snapshot target — new
`VMHandles`). The durable state lives in the SQLite `vms` row; the
transient state lives in an in-memory cache on the daemon plus a
per-VM `handles.json` scratch file inside VMDir, rebuilt at startup
from OS inspection. Nothing kernel-level rides the SQLite schema
anymore.
Why:
Persisting ephemeral process handles to SQLite forced reconcile to
treat "running with a stale PID" as a first-class case and mix it
with real state transitions. The schema described what we last
observed, not what the VM is. Every time the observation model
shifted (tap pool, DM naming, pgrep fallback) the reconcile logic
grew a new branch. Splitting lets each layer own what it's good at:
durable records describe intent, in-memory cache + scratch file
describe momentary reality.
Shape:
- `model.VMHandles` = PID, TapDevice, BaseLoop, COWLoop, DMName,
DMDev. Never in SQLite.
- `VMRuntime` keeps: State, GuestIP, APISockPath, VSockPath,
VSockCID, LogPath, MetricsPath, DNSName, VMDir, SystemOverlay,
WorkDiskPath, LastError. All durable or deterministic.
- `handleCache` on `*Daemon` — mutex-guarded map + scratch-file
plumbing (`writeHandlesFile` / `readHandlesFile` /
`rediscoverHandles`). See `internal/daemon/vm_handles.go`.
- `d.vmAlive(vm)` replaces the 20+ inline
`vm.State==Running && ProcessRunning(vm.Runtime.PID, apiSock)`
spreads. Single source of truth for liveness.
- Startup reconcile: per running VM, load the scratch file, pgrep
the api sock, either keep (cache seeded from scratch) or demote
to stopped (scratch handles passed to cleanupRuntime first so DM
/ loops / tap actually get torn down).
Verification:
- `go test ./...` green.
- Live: `banger vm run --name handles-test -- cat /etc/hostname`
starts; `handles.json` appears in VMDir with the expected PID,
tap, loops, DM.
- `kill -9 $(pgrep bangerd)` while the VM is running, re-invoke the
CLI, daemon auto-starts, reconcile recognises the VM as alive,
`banger vm ssh` still connects, `banger vm delete` cleans up.
Tests added:
- vm_handles_test.go: scratch-file roundtrip, missing/corrupt file
behaviour, cache concurrency, rediscoverHandles prefers pgrep
over scratch, returns scratch contents even when process is
dead (so cleanup can tear down kernel state).
- vm_test.go: reconcile test rewritten to exercise the new flow
(write scratch → reconcile reads it → verifies process is gone →
issues dmsetup/losetup teardown).
ARCHITECTURE.md updated; `handles` added to Daemon field docs.
Previously /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/99-banger.conf landed with:
LogLevel DEBUG3
PermitRootLogin yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
StrictModes no
DEBUG3 was debug leftover that floods journald in normal use.
StrictModes no was a workaround for /root perm drift on the work
disk — the real fix is to make those perms correct at provisioning
time.
New drop-in:
PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
KbdInteractiveAuthentication no
AuthorizedKeysFile /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
prohibit-password blocks password root login even if PasswordAuth
gets flipped on elsewhere; KbdInteractiveAuth no closes the last
interactive fallback; StrictModes is now on (sshd's default).
normaliseHomeDirPerms chown/chmods /root to 0755 root:root at every
work-disk mount (ensureAuthorizedKeyOnWorkDisk,
seedAuthorizedKeyOnExt4Image); the .ssh dir also explicitly
chown'd root:root. Verified end-to-end against a real VM:
`sshd -T` reports strictmodes yes and all five directives match.
Regression test (sshd_config_test.go) pins the allow-list and the
deny-list (DEBUG3, StrictModes no, bare `PermitRootLogin yes`) so
the next accidental reintroduction fails fast.
README's Security section updated to reflect the new posture.
Previously withVMLockByRef held the per-VM mutex across InspectRepo,
waitForGuestSSH, dialGuest, ImportRepoToGuest (the tar stream!), and
the readonly chmod. A large repo could block `vm stop` / `vm delete`
/ `vm restart` on the same VM for however long the import took.
Split into two phases:
1. VM mutex held briefly to validate state (running + PID alive)
and snapshot the fields needed for SSH (guest IP, api sock).
2. VM mutex released. Acquire workspaceLocks[id] — a separate
per-VM mutex scoped to workspace.prepare / workspace.export —
for the guest I/O phase.
Lifecycle ops (stop/delete/restart/set) only take vmLocks, so they
no longer queue behind a slow import. Two concurrent prepares on the
same VM still serialise via workspaceLocks so tar streams don't
interleave. ExportVMWorkspace also acquires workspaceLocks to avoid
snapshotting a half-streamed import.
Two regression tests (sequential — they swap package-level seams):
ReleasesVMLockDuringGuestIO: stall the import fake, assert the VM
mutex is acquirable from another goroutine during the stall.
SerialisesConcurrentPreparesOnSameVM: 3 concurrent prepares, assert
Import is only ever invoked 1-at-a-time per VM.
ARCHITECTURE.md documents the split + updated lock ordering.
Previously `banger vm workspace export` ran `git add -A` against the
guest's real `.git/index`, so the observation step left staged
changes behind that users never asked for. Reconnecting later (ssh,
another export) surfaced them and looked like phantom work.
Route `git add -A` through a throwaway index file instead:
tmp_idx=$(mktemp ...)
trap 'rm -f "$tmp_idx"' EXIT
git read-tree <ref> --index-output="$tmp_idx"
GIT_INDEX_FILE="$tmp_idx" git add -A
GIT_INDEX_FILE="$tmp_idx" git diff --cached <ref> --binary|--name-only
The real .git/index, working tree, and refs stay exactly as the user
left them. Same diff content — commits past <ref>, uncommitted edits,
and untracked files (minus .gitignore) all captured.
Regression test locks the invariant: every export script must route
add -A through GIT_INDEX_FILE and clean the temp index on exit. CLI
help text updated to say "non-mutating".
Replaces the static model.Default* constants that drove --vcpu / --memory
/ --disk-size with a three-layer resolver:
1. [vm_defaults] in ~/.config/banger/config.toml (if set)
2. host-derived heuristics (cpus/4 capped at 4; ram/8 capped at 8 GiB)
3. baked-in constants (floor)
Visibility:
- Every `vm run` / `vm create` prints a `spec:` line before progress
begins: `spec: 4 vcpu · 8192 MiB · 8G disk`. Matches the VM that
actually gets created because the CLI is now the single source of
truth — it resolves, populates the flag defaults, and forwards the
explicit values to the daemon.
- `banger doctor` adds a "vm defaults" check showing per-field
provenance (config|auto|builtin) and the config file path for
overrides.
- `--help` shows the resolved defaults (e.g. `--vcpu int (default 4)`
on an 8-core host).
No `banger config init` command, no first-run side effects, no writes
to the user's filesystem behind their back. Users who want explicit
control set the keys; everyone else gets sensible numbers that track
their hardware.
The `internal/opencode` package and the `opencodeCapability` that
consumed it were hard-wired to wait for opencode on guest port 4096
when an image shipped an initrd. After the prune commits (void /
alpine / customize.sh / image build all removed), nothing banger
produces today carries an initrd, so the capability's wait path was
unreachable: every startup short-circuited to the "direct-boot, skip
opencode" branch.
Same logic for `banger vm acp`: it SSHes to `opencode acp --cwd
<path>`, a binary the golden image no longer ships. Users who run
their own image with opencode can still invoke
`ssh vm -- opencode acp --cwd /root/repo` directly — no banger
scaffolding required.
Removed:
- internal/opencode/ (whole package, 255 LOC incl. tests)
- internal/daemon/opencode.go (opencodeCapability)
- cli `vm acp` command + its helpers (runVMACP, sshACPCommandArgs,
vmACPRemoteCommand) + their tests
- The opencodeCapability{} entry in registeredCapabilities() plus
the test that pinned its presence
- `wait_opencode` progress-stage label from the vm-create renderer
- Stale mentions in daemon/doc.go, README, and webui test fixtures
~480 lines gone, 12 added. `banger/internal` is now 25 packages
instead of 26.

Replace the three hardcoded host→guest credential syncs (opencode,
claude, pi) with a generic `[[file_sync]]` config list. Default is
empty — users opt in to exactly what they want synced, with no
surprise about which tools banger "supports".
```toml
[[file_sync]]
host = "~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json"
guest = "~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json"
[[file_sync]]
host = "~/.aws" # directories are copied recursively
guest = "~/.aws"
[[file_sync]]
host = "~/bin/my-script"
guest = "~/bin/my-script"
mode = "0755" # optional; default 0600 for files
```
Semantics:
- Host `~/...` expands against the host user's $HOME. Absolute host
paths are used as-is.
- Guest must live under `~/` or `/root/...` — banger's work disk is
mounted at /root in the guest, so that's the syncable namespace.
Anything outside is rejected at config load.
- Validation at config load: reject empty paths, relative paths,
`..` traversal, `~user/...`, malformed mode strings. Errors name
the offending entry index.
- Missing host paths are a soft skip with a warn log (existing
behaviour). Other errors (read, mkdir, install) abort VM create.
- File entries: `install -o 0 -g 0 -m <mode>` (default 0600).
- Directory entries: walked in Go; each source file is installed
with its own source permissions preserved. The entry's `mode` is
ignored for directories.
Removed (all dead after this):
- `ensureOpencodeAuthOnWorkDisk`, `ensureClaudeAuthOnWorkDisk`,
`ensurePiAuthOnWorkDisk`, the shared `ensureAuthFileOnWorkDisk`,
their `warn*Skipped` helpers, `resolveHost{Opencode,Claude,Pi}AuthPath`,
and the work-disk relative-path + default display-path constants.
- The capability hook registering the three syncs now calls the
generic `runFileSync` once.
Seven tests exercising the old codepath deleted; six new tests cover
the new runFileSync (no-op on empty config, file copy, custom mode,
missing-host-skip, overwrite, recursive directory). Config-layer
test adds happy-path parsing and a case-per-shape table of invalid
entries (empty, relative host, guest outside /root, '..' traversal,
`~user`, bad mode).
README updated: replaces the "Credential sync" section with a
"File sync" section showing the new config shape.

The "repairing SSH access on work disk" stage detail sounded
remedial, like something had gone wrong. It's just writing banger's
SSH key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the work disk for the first
time.

The `image build` flow spun up a transient Firecracker VM, SSHed in,
and ran a large bash provisioning script to derive a new managed
image from an existing one. It overlapped heavily with the golden-
image Dockerfile flow (same mise/docker/tmux/opencode install logic
duplicated in Go as `imagemgr.BuildProvisionScript`) and had far more
machinery: async op state, RPC begin/status/cancel, webui form +
operation page, preflight checks, API types, tests. For custom
images, writing a Dockerfile is simpler and more reproducible.
Removed end-to-end:
- CLI `image build` subcommand + `absolutizeImageBuildPaths`.
- Daemon: BuildImage method, imagebuild.go (transient-VM orchestration),
image_build_ops.go (async begin/status/cancel), imagemgr/build.go
(the 247-line provisioning script generator and all its append*
helpers), validateImageBuildPrereqs + addImageBuildPrereqs.
- RPC dispatches for image.build / .begin / .status / .cancel.
- opstate registry `imageBuildOps`, daemon seam `imageBuild`,
background pruner call.
- API types: ImageBuildParams, ImageBuildOperation, ImageBuildBeginResult,
ImageBuildStatusParams, ImageBuildStatusResult; model type
ImageBuildRequest.
- Web UI: Backend interface methods, handlers, form, routes, template
branches (images.html build form, operation.html build branch,
dashboard.html Build button).
- Tests that directly exercised BuildImage.
Doctor polish (task C):
- Drop the "image build" preflight section entirely (its raison d'être
is gone).
- Default-image check now accepts "not local but in imagecat" as OK:
vm create auto-pulls on first use. Only flag when the image is
neither locally registered nor in the catalog.
Net: 24 files touched, 1,373 lines deleted, 25 added.

The golden-image Dockerfile + catalog pipeline replaces the entire
manual rootfs-build stack. With that shipped, the per-distro shell
flows are dead code.
Removed:
- scripts/customize.sh, scripts/interactive.sh, scripts/verify.sh
- scripts/make-rootfs{,-void,-alpine}.sh
- scripts/register-{void,alpine}-image.sh
- scripts/make-{void,alpine}-kernel.sh
- internal/imagepreset/ (only consumer was `banger internal packages`,
which fed customize.sh)
- examples/{void,alpine}.config.toml
- Makefile targets: rootfs, rootfs-void, rootfs-alpine, void-kernel,
alpine-kernel, void-register, alpine-register, void-vm, alpine-vm,
verify-void, verify-alpine, plus the ALPINE_RELEASE / *_IMAGE_NAME
/ *_VM_NAME variables
The void-6.12 kernel catalog entry is also gone — golden image pairs
with generic-6.12 and nothing else in the catalog depended on it.
Consolidated: imagemgr now holds the small DebianBasePackages list +
package-hash helper inline, so the `image build --from-image` flow
(still supported) no longer pulls from a separate imagepreset package.
Net: 3,815 lines deleted, 59 added. No runtime functionality removed
beyond the `banger internal packages` subcommand (hidden, used only
by the deleted customize.sh).

One-command sandbox: `banger vm run` on a fresh host now Just Works.
No prior `banger image pull` or `banger kernel pull` needed.
Changes:
- Default `default_image_name` flips from "default" to "debian-bookworm"
so the golden image is the implicit target when `--image` is omitted.
- `CreateVM` resolves the image via a new `findOrAutoPullImage`: try
the local store first, and on miss fall back to the embedded imagecat
catalog + auto-pull. Emits a vm-create progress stage so the user
sees "pulling from image catalog" in the create output.
- `resolveKernelInputs` gains context + the same pattern via
`readOrAutoPullKernel`: try the local kernelcat, and on miss look up
the embedded kernelcat and auto-pull. Fires whenever a bundle's
manifest references a kernel the user hasn't pulled yet, not just
during image pull — any CreateVM with an image that needs a kernel
not yet local will resolve it.
- `--image` help text updated on both `vm run` and `vm create`.
Six tests cover local-hit-no-pull, auto-pull-on-miss, not-in-catalog
error propagation, and a non-ENOENT kernel read error does NOT trigger
a misleading "not in catalog" claim.

Both masks were added when the direct-boot path first landed for
container rootfses that didn't have anything mounted on /dev/vdb. The
golden image (and any pulled OCI image running under banger's
patchRootOverlay) has an /etc/fstab entry mounting /dev/vdb at /root —
masking dev-vdb.device makes systemd wait forever for a unit that can
never become active, and the work-disk mount never completes. dev-ttyS0
is a real serial console the image needs too. Drop both.

PullImage now checks the embedded imagecat catalog first. If the
ref matches a catalog entry, it takes the bundle path:
1. Fetch the .tar.zst bundle into a staging dir (rootfs.ext4 +
manifest.json).
2. Strip manifest.json (staging-only metadata).
3. Stage kernel/initrd/modules alongside rootfs.ext4.
4. Publish the staging dir and upsert the image row.
Bundle rootfs is already flattened + ownership-fixed + agent-
injected at build time, so the daemon-side work is strictly I/O —
no flatten, no mkfs, no debugfs.
Kernel resolution in the bundle path: --kernel-ref > entry.kernel_ref
> --kernel/--initrd/--modules.
If the ref doesn't match a catalog entry, PullImage falls through
to the existing OCI path unchanged (extracted into pullFromOCI).
New test seam: d.bundleFetch. Six unit tests cover happy path,
--kernel-ref override, existing-name rejection, kernel-required
error, fetch-failure cleanup, and the catalog → OCI fallthrough.
CLI help updated: image pull now documents both forms and takes
<name-or-oci-ref> instead of requiring an OCI ref.
