Thales Maciel aa886b346e Add seeded task workspace creation

Current persistent tasks started with an empty workspace, which blocked the first useful host-to-task workflow in the task roadmap. This change lets task creation start from a host directory or tar archive without changing the one-shot VM surfaces.

Expose source_path on task create across the CLI, SDK, and MCP, add safe archive upload and extraction support for guest and host-compat backends, persist workspace_seed metadata, and patch the per-task rootfs with the bundled guest agent before boot so seeded guest tasks work without republishing environments. Also switch post--- command reconstruction to shlex.join() so documented sh -lc task examples preserve argument boundaries.

Validation:
- uv lock
- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache uv run pytest --no-cov tests/test_vm_guest.py tests/test_vm_manager.py tests/test_cli.py tests/test_api.py tests/test_server.py tests/test_public_contract.py
- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make check
- UV_CACHE_DIR=.uv-cache make dist-check
- real guest-backed smoke: task create --source-path, task exec -- cat note.txt, task delete

First Run Transcript

This is the intended evaluator path for a first successful run on a supported host. Copy the commands as-is. Paths and timing values will differ on your machine. The same sequence works with an installed pyro binary by dropping the uvx --from pyro-mcp prefix. If you are running from a source checkout instead of the published package, replace pyro with uv run pyro.

1. Verify the host

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro doctor
Platform: linux-x86_64
Runtime: PASS
KVM: exists=yes readable=yes writable=yes
Environment cache: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments
Capabilities: vm_boot=yes guest_exec=yes guest_network=yes
Networking: tun=yes ip_forward=yes

2. Inspect the catalog

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro env list
Catalog version: 2.2.0
debian:12 [installed|not installed] Debian 12 environment with Git preinstalled for common agent workflows.
debian:12-base [installed|not installed] Minimal Debian 12 environment for shell and core Unix tooling.
debian:12-build [installed|not installed] Debian 12 environment with Git and common build tools preinstalled.

3. Pull the default environment

The first pull downloads an OCI environment from public Docker Hub, requires outbound HTTPS access to registry-1.docker.io, and needs local cache space for the guest image. See host-requirements.md for the full host requirements.

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro env pull debian:12
[pull] phase=install environment=debian:12
[pull] phase=ready environment=debian:12
Pulled: debian:12
Version: 1.0.0
Distribution: debian 12
Installed: yes
Cache dir: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments
Default packages: bash, coreutils, git
Install dir: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0
Install manifest: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0/environment.json
Kernel image: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0/vmlinux
Rootfs image: /home/you/.cache/pyro-mcp/environments/linux-x86_64/debian_12-1.0.0/rootfs.ext4
OCI source: registry-1.docker.io/thalesmaciel/pyro-environment-debian-12:1.0.0

4. Run one command in a guest

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro run debian:12 -- git --version
[run] phase=create environment=debian:12
[run] phase=start vm_id=...
[run] phase=execute vm_id=...
[run] environment=debian:12 execution_mode=guest_vsock exit_code=0 duration_ms=...
git version ...

The guest command output and the [run] ... summary are written to different streams, so they may appear in either order in terminals or capture tools. Use --json if you need a deterministic structured result.

5. Optional next steps

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro demo
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro task create debian:12 --source-path ./repo
$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro mcp serve

pyro demo proves the one-shot create/start/exec/delete VM lifecycle works end to end.

When you need repeated commands in one sandbox, switch to pyro task ...:

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro task create debian:12 --source-path ./repo
Task: ...
Environment: debian:12
State: started
Workspace: /workspace
Workspace seed: directory from ...
Execution mode: guest_vsock
Resources: 1 vCPU / 1024 MiB
Command count: 0

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro task exec TASK_ID -- sh -lc 'printf "hello from task\n" > note.txt'
[task-exec] task_id=... sequence=1 cwd=/workspace execution_mode=guest_vsock exit_code=0 duration_ms=...

$ uvx --from pyro-mcp pyro task exec TASK_ID -- cat note.txt
hello from task
[task-exec] task_id=... sequence=2 cwd=/workspace execution_mode=guest_vsock exit_code=0 duration_ms=...

Use --source-path when the task should start from a host directory or a local .tar / .tar.gz / .tgz archive instead of an empty /workspace.

Example output:

{
  "cleanup": {
    "deleted": true,
    "reason": "post_exec_cleanup",
    "vm_id": "..."
  },
  "command": "git --version",
  "environment": "debian:12",
  "execution_mode": "guest_vsock",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "stdout": "git version ...\n"
}

When you are done evaluating and want to remove stale cached environments, run pyro env prune.

If pyro doctor reports Runtime: FAIL, or if the pyro run summary does not show execution_mode=guest_vsock, stop and use troubleshooting.md.
