// CreateVM is split into three phases so the global createVMMu guards
// only the narrow name+IP reservation window, not the slow image
// resolution or the multi-second boot flow:
//
//  1. Validate + resolve image. No global lock. Image auto-pull
//     self-locks via imageOpsMu (which is also now publication-only).
//  2. Reserve a row: generate id, pick next IP, claim the name,
//     UpsertVM the "created" record. Held under createVMMu so two
//     concurrent `vm create --name foo` calls can't both think they
//     won.
//  3. Boot. Only the per-VM lock is held — parallel creates against
//     different VMs fully overlap.
