The CLI carried a full second copy of the workspace import
implementation that `vm run` never actually used:
- importVMRunRepoToGuest (no callers — the live flow calls the
daemon's PrepareVMWorkspace RPC instead)
- prepareVMRunRepoCopy, vmRunCheckoutCommit, vmRunCheckoutScript,
gitFileURL, runHostCommand (all reachable only from the dead
importVMRunRepoToGuest)
Plus a duplicated repo-inspection surface that shadowed the
daemon's:
- inspectVMRunRepo ran every git query the daemon re-ran during
workspace.prepare (HEAD, branch, identity, origin, overlay list)
- gitOutput / gitTrimmedOutput / gitResolvedConfigValue /
parseNullSeparatedOutput / listSubmodules / listOverlayPaths /
resolveVMRunSourcePath — all identical to the exported
workspace.* versions
- vmRunRepoSpec — same fields as workspace.RepoSpec
Replaced with a single minimal preflight:
func vmRunPreflightRepo(ctx, rawPath) (absPath, err error)
The preflight only checks what the user can fix locally before
banger creates a VM (path exists, sits in a non-bare git repo, no
submodules). The daemon's workspace.prepare RPC does the full
inspection — and returns RepoRoot + RepoName in the response, which
the CLI now threads into the tooling harness instead of computing
them a second time.
Signature changes:
runVMRun(ctx, ..., *vmRunRepo, ...) // was: *vmRunRepoSpec
startVMRunToolingHarness(ctx, client, repoRoot, repoName, progress)
// was: (ctx, client, spec, progress)
vmRunToolingHarnessScript(plan) // was: (spec, plan)
vmRunToolingHarnessLaunchScript(repoName) // was: (spec)
Tests: the CLI-side git-inspection tests are replaced by a single
TestVMRunPreflightRejectsSubmodules that exercises the preflight.
Everything else (tooling harness script, progress renderer, SSH args,
runVMRun flows) keeps working. The shallow-copy / checkout-script
tests are gone — that code now lives only in
internal/daemon/workspace and is tested there.
Also fixed a latent bug the refactor exposed: vm run's --from flag
defaults to "HEAD", which the daemon reads as "from without branch"
and rejects. CLI now scrubs fromRef when branchName is empty.
Live verified: `banger vm run --name X . -- cmd` boots, workspace
materialises at /root/repo with matching HEAD, exit code propagates.
