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

Five new smoke scenarios layered on top of the existing bare + workspace
vm-run tests:
- exit-code propagation: `sh -c 'exit 42'` must rc=42
- workspace dry-run: --dry-run lists tracked files without a VM
- workspace --include-untracked: opt-in ships files outside the git
index (regression guard on the security-default flip from review 4)
- concurrent vm runs: two --rm invocations in parallel both succeed
(stresses per-VM locks, createVMMu reservation window, tap pool)
- invalid spec rejection: --vcpu 0 must fail with no VM row left
behind (the "cleanup on partial failure" path the review flagged)
The exit-code scenario caught a real bug on first run:
`banger vm run --rm -- sh -c 'exit 42'` returned rc=0, not 42.
Root cause in internal/cli/ssh.go's sshCommandArgs: extra args were
appended to the ssh argv verbatim, relying on ssh(1)'s implicit
space-join to deliver the remote command. That works for single
tokens (echo hello) but re-tokenises multi-word commands on the
remote side: `ssh host sh -c 'exit 42'` becomes remote
`sh -c exit 42`, where `42` is $0 for the already-completed `exit`,
and the exit code the user asked for is lost.
Fix: shell-quote every element of extra (`'sh'` `'-c'` `'exit 42'`)
and join them into a single trailing argv entry. ssh's space-join
then produces exactly the command the user typed on the remote
shell. TestSSHCommandArgs was updated to pin the quoting; the
existing TestRunVMRunCommandModePropagatesExitCode test needed a
one-word quote tweak (`false` → `'false'`).
Smoke run after fix passes all seven scenarios in ~2 min on warm
state. cmd/banger coverage jumped to 100% (the invalid-spec
scenario hits the error-reporting path that wasn't covered
before).

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.
