Stop treating Firecracker, kernels, modules, and guest images as tracked source files. Source checkouts now resolve runtime assets from ./runtime, while installed binaries keep using ../lib/banger. Add a small runtimebundle helper plus runtime-bundle.toml so make can bootstrap, package, and install a runtime bundle with checksum validation. Update the shell helpers and daemon path hints to fail clearly when the bundle is missing instead of assuming repo-root artifacts. This removes the tracked runtime blobs from HEAD in favor of an ignored local runtime/ tree. Verified with go test ./..., make build, bash -n on the shell helpers, make -n install, and a temporary package/fetch smoke test. The manifest URL/SHA still need a published bundle before fresh clones can bootstrap, and history rewrite remains a separate rollout step.

Project Structure & Module Organization
cmd/bangerandcmd/bangerdare the primary user-facing entrypoints.internal/contains the daemon, CLI, RPC, storage, Firecracker, and system integration code.customize.sh,make-rootfs.sh, andinteractive.shremain as image-build/customization helpers; normal VM lifecycle and NAT management are handled by the Go control plane.- Source checkouts use a generated
./runtime/bundle for Firecracker, kernels, modules, rootfs images, and helper copies. Those runtime artifacts are not meant to be tracked directly in Git. - The daemon keeps state under XDG directories rather than the old repo-local
state/layout.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Go code should stay small, direct, and standard-library-first unless there is a clear reason otherwise.
- Shell helpers use Bash with
set -euo pipefail; keep remaining shell scripts strict and explicit. - Prefer lowercase filenames with short descriptive names.
- Use
gofmtfor Go formatting; no extra formatter is configured for shell files.
Testing Guidelines
- Primary automated coverage is
go test ./.... - Manual verification for VM lifecycle changes:
./banger vm create, confirm SSH access, then stop/delete the VM. - If you add a new operational workflow, document how to exercise it in
README.md. - For NAT changes, verify both guest outbound access and host rule cleanup, for example with
./verify.sh --nat.
Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
- Git history uses short, imperative subjects.
- Prefer a real commit body when the change affects lifecycle behavior, storage semantics, or host integration.
- PRs should call out runtime requirements, migration impact, and any host-side verification performed.
Security & Configuration Tips
- The VM workflow requires
sudoand/dev/kvmaccess; do not commit secrets. id_ed25519lives inside the runtime bundle; rotate or replace it before publishing a shared bundle.
