workspace.export: add base_commit to capture worker git commits
Without base_commit, export diffs against the current guest HEAD.
If the worker ran git commit inside the VM, HEAD advanced and the
diff came back empty — committed work was silently lost.

With base_commit set to the head_commit from workspace.prepare,
the diff uses that fixed point instead. After git add -A the index
holds the full working state, so git diff --cached <base_commit>
captures everything: committed deltas (HEAD moved past base) and
any uncommitted changes on top, in one patch, applied with the
same git apply flow.

- WorkspaceExportParams gains base_commit
- WorkspaceExportResult echoes back the ref actually used
- CLI gains --base-commit flag
- Tests assert scripts use the caller-supplied ref and that
  omitting it falls back to HEAD

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 web UI.
  • scripts/ contains explicit manual helper workflows for rootfs and kernel 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 ./....
  • ./build/bin/banger doctor checks host readiness.
  • ./build/bin/banger image build --from-image <image> builds a managed image from an existing registered image.
  • ./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.
  • make void-kernel, make rootfs-void, and make void-register drive the experimental Void flow under ./build/manual.

Image Model

  • Managed images own the full boot set: rootfs, optional work-seed, kernel, optional initrd, and optional modules.
  • There is no runtime bundle and no auto-registered default image from disk paths.
  • default_image_name selects a registered image only.

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 create, vm ssh, vm stop, and vm delete.
  • 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.
