Remove image build --from-image; doctor treats catalog images as OK
The `image build` flow spun up a transient Firecracker VM, SSHed in,
and ran a large bash provisioning script to derive a new managed
image from an existing one. It overlapped heavily with the golden-
image Dockerfile flow (same mise/docker/tmux/opencode install logic
duplicated in Go as `imagemgr.BuildProvisionScript`) and had far more
machinery: async op state, RPC begin/status/cancel, webui form +
operation page, preflight checks, API types, tests. For custom
images, writing a Dockerfile is simpler and more reproducible.

Removed end-to-end:
- CLI `image build` subcommand + `absolutizeImageBuildPaths`.
- Daemon: BuildImage method, imagebuild.go (transient-VM orchestration),
  image_build_ops.go (async begin/status/cancel), imagemgr/build.go
  (the 247-line provisioning script generator and all its append*
  helpers), validateImageBuildPrereqs + addImageBuildPrereqs.
- RPC dispatches for image.build / .begin / .status / .cancel.
- opstate registry `imageBuildOps`, daemon seam `imageBuild`,
  background pruner call.
- API types: ImageBuildParams, ImageBuildOperation, ImageBuildBeginResult,
  ImageBuildStatusParams, ImageBuildStatusResult; model type
  ImageBuildRequest.
- Web UI: Backend interface methods, handlers, form, routes, template
  branches (images.html build form, operation.html build branch,
  dashboard.html Build button).
- Tests that directly exercised BuildImage.

Doctor polish (task C):
- Drop the "image build" preflight section entirely (its raison d'être
  is gone).
- Default-image check now accepts "not local but in imagecat" as OK:
  vm create auto-pulls on first use. Only flag when the image is
  neither locally registered nor in the catalog.

Net: 24 files touched, 1,373 lines deleted, 25 added.

# Repository Guidelines
Always run `make build` before commit.
## Project Structure
- `cmd/banger` and `cmd/bangerd` are the main user entrypoints.
- `internal/` contains the daemon, CLI, RPC, storage, Firecracker integration, guest helpers, and the experimental web UI.
- `internal/daemon/` is the composition root; pure helpers live in its subpackages (`opstate`, `dmsnap`, `fcproc`, `imagemgr`, `session`, `workspace`). See `internal/daemon/ARCHITECTURE.md`.
- `internal/imagecat/` and `internal/kernelcat/` embed the image + kernel catalogs.
- `images/golden/` is the Dockerfile for the `debian-bookworm` catalog entry.
- `scripts/` contains manual helper workflows for rootfs, kernel, and bundle preparation.
- `build/bin/` is the canonical source-checkout build output.
- `build/manual/` is the canonical source-checkout location for manual rootfs/kernel artifacts.
## Build and Test
- `make build` builds `./build/bin/banger`, `./build/bin/bangerd`, and `./build/bin/banger-vsock-agent`.
- `make test` runs `go test ./...`.
- `make lint` runs `gofmt -l`, `go vet ./...`, and `shellcheck --severity=error` on `scripts/*.sh`. Run before commits.
- `./build/bin/banger doctor` checks host readiness.
- `./build/bin/banger vm run` is the primary user-facing entry point — auto-pulls the default image + kernel from the catalogs if missing.
- `./build/bin/banger image pull <name>` uses the bundle catalog (fast) when `<name>` is a catalog entry, or falls through to the OCI path for arbitrary registry refs. See `docs/image-catalog.md` and `docs/oci-import.md`.
- `./build/bin/banger image register ...` registers an unmanaged host-side image stack.
- `./build/bin/banger image promote <image>` copies an unmanaged image into daemon-owned managed artifacts.
- `scripts/make-generic-kernel.sh` builds a Firecracker-optimized vmlinux from upstream sources. `scripts/publish-kernel.sh <name>` publishes it to the kernel catalog.
- `scripts/publish-golden-image.sh` rebuilds + publishes the golden image bundle and patches the image catalog.
## Image Model
- Managed images own the full boot set: rootfs, optional work-seed, kernel, optional initrd, and optional modules.
- The image catalog ships pre-built bundles. `vm run` auto-pulls the default catalog entry; `image pull <name>` can be invoked explicitly.
- `default_image_name` defaults to `debian-bookworm`. On miss, the daemon auto-pulls from `imagecat` before surfacing "not found".
- Kernel references follow the same auto-pull pattern against `kernelcat`.
## Config
- Config lives at `~/.config/banger/config.toml`.
- Firecracker comes from `PATH` by default, or `firecracker_bin`.
- SSH uses `ssh_key_path` or an auto-managed default key at `~/.config/banger/ssh/id_ed25519`.
## Coding Style
- Prefer small, direct Go code and standard library solutions.
- Keep shell scripts strict with `set -euo pipefail`.
- Use `gofmt` for Go formatting.
- When a CLI accepts either an inline string or a file input, always prefer the file-based form.
- For shell commands and AI/LLM tooling, prefer passing files as input whenever the CLI allows it.
- Create temporary files as needed to follow the file-first rule.
- Examples: use `git commit -F <file>` instead of `git commit -m <message>`, and use prompt files instead of inline prompt strings when invoking LLM CLIs.
## Testing Guidance
- Primary automated coverage is `go test ./...`.
- For lifecycle changes, smoke-test with `vm run` end-to-end (covers create + start + boot + ssh).
- If guest provisioning changes, document whether existing images must be rebuilt or recreated.
## Security
- Do not commit secrets.
- VM workflows require `sudo` and `/dev/kvm`.
- The default SSH key is local configuration, not a checked-in runtime artifact.
