Remind users when a VM is still running after hanger vm ssh exits instead of silently dropping them back to the host shell.\n\nAttach a Firecracker vsock device to each VM, persist the host vsock path/CID,\nadd a new guest-side banger-vsock-pingd responder to the runtime bundle and both\nimage-build paths, and expose a vm.ping RPC that the CLI and TUI call after SSH\nreturns. Doctor and start/build preflight now validate the helper plus\n/dev/vhost-vsock so the feature fails early and clearly.\n\nValidated with go mod tidy, bash -n customize.sh, git diff --check, make build,\nand GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./... outside the sandbox because the\ndaemon tests need real Unix/UDP sockets. Rebuild the image/rootfs used for new\nVMs so the guest ping service is present.
Make host-integrated VM features fit a standard Go extension path instead of adding more one-off branches through vm.go. This is the enabling refactor for future work like shared mounts, not the /work feature itself.
Add a daemon capability pipeline plus a structured guest-config builder, then move the existing /root work-disk mount, built-in DNS, and NAT wiring onto those hooks. Generalize Firecracker drive config at the same time so later storage features can extend machine setup without another hardcoded path.
Add banger doctor on top of the shared readiness checks, update the docs to describe the new architecture, and cover the new seams with guest-config, capability, report, CLI, and full go test verification. Also verify make build and a real ./banger doctor run on the host.
New VMs should come up with tmux session persistence ready instead of requiring per-VM plugin setup, and rebuilt images should stop carrying stale Docker installer scraps.
Configure both image build paths to install TPM, tmux-resurrect, and tmux-continuum for root, manage a marked /root/.tmux.conf block with autosave enabled and restore left manual, and remove legacy get-docker helper files during provisioning.
Update the README and repo guidance to document the rebuilt-image behavior. Verified with bash -n customize.sh, GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./internal/daemon -run TestBuildProvisionScriptInstallsDefaultTools, and GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache make build.
Extend the default image provisioning path so opencode is installed through mise as part of both the Go-native image builder and the shell-based rootfs customization flow. That keeps new images consistent regardless of which build path produced them.
The change reuses the existing mise activation setup instead of adding a second tool bootstrap path, and adds a provisioning-script assertion so the generated guest setup includes the opencode install step.
Verified with bash -n customize.sh and go test ./....
New VMs should have mise available without a per-VM bootstrap step, and the activation needs to work in the default root bash workflow.
Install a pinned mise binary during both the Go-native image build path and the customize.sh rootfs rebuild path, then enable bash activation through /etc/profile.d for login shells and /etc/bash.bashrc for interactive shells.
Add a regression around the generated provisioning script and validate with bash -n customize.sh, go test ./..., and make build. Rebuilding the default rootfs is still required before future default-image VMs pick up the change.
Reduce the control plane's dependency on helper scripts while keeping the hard Linux integration points in the approved shell-out layer.
Replace the bash-driven image build path with a native Go builder that clones and optionally resizes the rootfs, boots a temporary Firecracker VM, provisions the guest over SSH, installs packages and modules, and preserves the package-manifest sidecar.
Also replace a few small convenience shell-outs with Go helpers: read process stats from /proc, use os.Truncate for ext4 image growth, add file-clone and normalized-line helpers, drop the sh -c work-disk flattening path, and launch Firecracker via a direct sudo command.
Add tests for the new SSH/archive and system helpers, plus a policy test that keeps os/exec imports confined to cli/firecracker/system. Update the docs to describe customize.sh as a manual helper rather than the daemon's image-build backend.
Validated with go mod tidy, go test ./..., and make build.
