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

# Integration Targets
These are the main ways to integrate `pyro-mcp` into an LLM application.
Use this page after you have already validated the host and guest execution through the
CLI path in [install.md](install.md) or [first-run.md](first-run.md).
## Recommended Default
Use `vm_run` first for one-shot commands.
That keeps the model-facing contract small:
- one tool
- one command
- one ephemeral VM
- automatic cleanup
Move to `task_*` only when the agent truly needs repeated commands in one workspace across
multiple calls.
## OpenAI Responses API
Best when:
- your agent already uses OpenAI models directly
- you want a normal tool-calling loop instead of MCP transport
- you want the smallest amount of integration code
Recommended surface:
- `vm_run`
- `task_create(source_path=...)` + `task_exec` when the agent needs persistent workspace state
Canonical example:
- [examples/openai_responses_vm_run.py](../examples/openai_responses_vm_run.py)
## MCP Clients
Best when:
- your host application already supports MCP
- you want `pyro` to run as an external stdio server
- you want tool schemas to be discovered directly from the server
Recommended entrypoint:
- `pyro mcp serve`
Starter config:
- [examples/mcp_client_config.md](../examples/mcp_client_config.md)
- [examples/claude_desktop_mcp_config.json](../examples/claude_desktop_mcp_config.json)
- [examples/cursor_mcp_config.json](../examples/cursor_mcp_config.json)
## Direct Python SDK
Best when:
- your application owns orchestration itself
- you do not need MCP transport
- you want direct access to `Pyro`
Recommended default:
- `Pyro.run_in_vm(...)`
- `Pyro.create_task(source_path=...)` + `Pyro.exec_task(...)` when repeated workspace commands are required
Lifecycle note:
- `Pyro.exec_vm(...)` runs one command and auto-cleans the VM afterward
- use `create_vm(...)` + `start_vm(...)` only when you need pre-exec inspection or status before
that final exec
- use `create_task(source_path=...)` when the agent needs repeated commands in one persistent
`/workspace` that starts from host content
Examples:
- [examples/python_run.py](../examples/python_run.py)
- [examples/python_lifecycle.py](../examples/python_lifecycle.py)
- [examples/python_task.py](../examples/python_task.py)
## Agent Framework Wrappers
Examples:
- LangChain tools
- PydanticAI tools
- custom in-house orchestration layers
Best when:
- you already have an application framework that expects a Python callable tool
- you want to wrap `vm_run` behind framework-specific abstractions
Recommended pattern:
- keep the framework wrapper thin
- map one-shot framework tool input directly onto `vm_run`
- expose `task_*` only when the framework truly needs repeated commands in one workspace
Concrete example:
- [examples/langchain_vm_run.py](../examples/langchain_vm_run.py)
## Selection Rule
Choose the narrowest integration that matches the host environment:
1. OpenAI Responses API if you want a direct provider tool loop.
2. MCP if your host already speaks MCP.
3. Python SDK if you own orchestration and do not need transport.
4. Framework wrappers only as thin adapters over the same `vm_run` contract.
