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().

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.

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.
Beat VM create wall time without changing VM semantics.
Generate a work-seed ext4 sidecar during image builds and rootfs rebuilds, then clone and resize that seed for each new VM instead of rebuilding /root from scratch. Plumb the new seed artifact through config, runtime metadata, store state, runtime-bundle defaults, doctor checks, and default-image reconciliation so older images still fall back cleanly.
Add a daemon TAP pool to keep idle bridge-attached devices warm, expose stage timing in lifecycle logs, add a create/SSH benchmark script plus Make target, and teach verify.sh that tap-pool-* devices are reusable capacity rather than cleanup leaks.
Validated with go test ./..., make build, ./verify.sh, and make bench-create ARGS="--runs 2".
