Hard-cut banger away from source-checkout runtime bundles as an implicit source of\nimage and host defaults. Managed images now own their full boot set,\nimage build starts from an existing registered image, and daemon startup\nno longer synthesizes a default image from host paths.\n\nResolve Firecracker from PATH or firecracker_bin, make SSH keys config-owned\nwith an auto-managed XDG default, replace the external name generator and\npackage manifests with Go code, and keep the vsock helper as a companion\nbinary instead of a user-managed runtime asset.\n\nUpdate the manual scripts, web/CLI forms, config surface, and docs around\nthe new build/manual flow and explicit image registration semantics.\n\nValidation: GOCACHE=/tmp/banger-gocache go test ./..., bash -n scripts/*.sh,\nand make build.
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.
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.
