Slice C1 of adding Google Compute Engine as a second execution surface. No behaviour changes; this is the seam every later slice builds on.

What changed

internal/provider defines a Provider interface over the execution surface a VM runs on: Name, Capabilities, Start, Stop, Status, Endpoint. internal/provider/qemu wraps internal/qemu and is the only implementation. config.VM gains an omitempty provider key; an empty value resolves to qemu, so every existing vm.toml loads unchanged.

internal/sshx gains an Endpoint carrying host, port, user, and host-key policy. Args, CopyArgs and Wait take one instead of reading v.SSHPort against a hardcoded 127.0.0.1. A loopback endpoint keeps today's unchecked host-key settings; an endpoint naming a known_hosts file pins instead, which is what a routable cloud address will need.

hostops.RequireVM splits into RequireLocalHypervisor and RequireDataRoot. Reading and writing VM records needs no hypervisor, so a host that cannot start a local VM can still own a data root.

internal/core reaches the machine through provider.For for lifecycle and endpoint calls. Screenshot, snapshots and display still call internal/qemu directly; they get capability checks in C2.

internal/provider/fake lets every core test run with no QEMU process. It replaces fakeRunning.

Scope

Create and Destroy join the interface in C2, alongside the storage-namespace work. core.Destroy deletes the VM record as well as the machine, and that split depends on where a non-QEMU record lives.

Verification

go build ./..., go test ./..., and go test -race ./internal/core/ ./internal/provider/... all pass. go.mod is unchanged. Nothing under internal/provider imports internal/core. grep -rn RequireVM internal cmd is empty. The only non-test 127.0.0.1 left in internal/sshx is LocalEndpoint.

Draft while a follow-up review pass runs over the whole branch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added provider configuration for VMs, defaulting to QEMU when unspecified.
    • VM lifecycle and connection operations now use provider-specific execution and endpoint settings.
    • SSH connections can use configured host keys for non-local endpoints.
  • Bug Fixes

    • VM state, start/stop, copying, forwarding, and execution now consistently reflect provider-reported status.
    • Unsupported hosts can read and edit VM records while clearly rejecting local VM lifecycle operations.
  • Documentation

    • Updated installation, troubleshooting, host support, provider configuration, and unsupported-host reporting guidance.

Lifecycle and endpoint calls go through provider.For. Screenshot,
snapshots and display still call internal/qemu directly; they get
capability checks in C2.

internal/capabilities imported internal/core for HostCheck and three
sentinel errors. Once core imports provider, and provider imports
capabilities, that closed a cycle. HostCheck's fields already matched
internal/hostcheck.Check, so capabilities now takes that instead, with
a converter at the two callers that build capabilities.Input. The
sentinel errors move to a new internal/coreerr leaf package; core
re-exports the same values under its existing names so every
core.ErrXxx caller compiles unchanged and errors.Is still matches by
identity.

Core tests run with no QEMU process. Replaces fakeRunning, except
clone_test.go's running-source check and autorestart_test.go's
ISO-missing case: both need the real qemu provider, since one reads
qemu.Running directly and the other's assertion depends on a real
Start attempt actually failing rather than the fake's Start, which
always succeeds.

Destroy discarded StateOf's error the same way fromConfigUnchecked did
before it was fixed, letting a vm.toml naming an unimplemented
provider fall through to Delete with no running check performed.

Also update VM.Error's doc: fromConfigUnchecked now writes
providerFor's and Status's error strings into it too, not only
config.Load's parse error.

core.waitStopped polls Status from its own goroutine while a test flips a
VM, so the fake's liveness map takes a mutex and callers go through
SetRunning and SetStopped. Replaces fakeRunning.

AutoRestartAfterInstall returns StateOf's error instead of reporting
nothing to restart for a VM whose provider will not resolve.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change introduces provider-based VM lifecycle and status handling, endpoint-based SSH operations, separate host qualification gates, shared error contracts, updated capability adapters, and revised documentation.

Changes

Provider-based VM execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider contract and implementations
internal/config/config.go, internal/provider/..., internal/provider/qemu/..., internal/provider/fake/...
VMs now declare an execution provider. The provider registry resolves QEMU by default and rejects unknown providers.
Endpoint-based SSH operations
internal/sshx/..., internal/core/access.go, internal/cli/run_access.go, internal/tui/cloudinit.go
SSH and SCP operations use provider endpoints with host, port, user, and host-key settings.
Core state and lifecycle migration
internal/core/...
VM state, lifecycle, wait, copy, access, prune, and validation paths use provider status and lifecycle methods instead of direct QEMU checks.
Host gates and shared contracts
internal/hostops/..., internal/capabilities/..., internal/coreerr/..., internal/cli/..., internal/mcpsrv/..., internal/qemu/run.go
Local hypervisor requirements are separated from data-root access. Capability host checks and shared error sentinels move to cycle-free packages.
Operational documentation
docs/...
Documentation describes provider configuration, unsupported-host behavior, and generic SSH endpoints.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1b511

The change can block promised VM-record operations on unsupported hosts and can delete VM data when cleaning up malformed non-QEMU records. It also obscures provider state failures and breaks SSH readiness for IPv6 endpoints. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Clone called qemu.Running(src) directly, bypassing the provider seam
every other lifecycle check goes through; a provider="gce" VM would be
cloned after consulting a local pidfile that can never be live.

Restores Dir and Name as load-bearing in three tests that had stopped
exercising the reconstructed-config path they claim to guard, rewrites
two tests that asserted only zero-value or mock behaviour, drops a
tautological test that cannot fail on either build tag, and corrects
comments pointing at code paths that no longer exist.

sshBannerUp dialled 127.0.0.1 while waitReachable resolved state through
the provider one line above, so a VM answering anywhere else would never
be seen as reachable. Adds the two tests that pin the endpoint seam and
the provider's Start/Stop errors; fake.Ep, StartErr and StopErr had no
caller until now.

Splitting RequireVM moved config's three gates and the CLI boundary onto
RequireDataRoot, so on macOS and Windows up, apply, ssh, exec, cp,
snapshot and rm proceeded past a refusal and created STOAT_HOME. Nothing
sits behind the opened gate yet: every provider is still QEMU. The two
hostops functions stay; C3 moves the call sites when a provider runs a
VM off this host.

In `@docs/getting-started/installation.md`:
- Line 192: Update the unsupported-host documentation to state that the CLI
rejects ls, get, status, and update before dispatch via
hostops.RequireLocalHypervisor(), so none of these commands run on unsupported
hosts. Apply the corrected wording in docs/getting-started/installation.md:192,
docs/troubleshooting.md:10, and docs/troubleshooting.md:22.

In `@internal/config/config.go`:
- Line 209: Replace the RequireLocalHypervisor gates in EnsureRoot, VM.Save, and
VM.Delete with RequireDataRoot for data-root operations, while preserving
RequireLocalHypervisor in QEMU start and stop paths.

In `@internal/core/prune.go`:
- Line 166: Update pruneBroken to recover and preserve the VM provider before
calling StateOf, ensuring state checks use the correct provider rather than
defaulting to QEMU. If provider recovery fails, return the error immediately and
do not reach bv.Delete(); retain deletion only for VMs confirmed stopped by the
recovered provider.

In `@internal/core/vm.go`:
- Line 655: Update Destroy’s StateOf check to recover the provider from the raw
vm.toml before evaluating the VM state, using the same recovery approach as
config.BrokenSSHPort; if provider recovery fails, return an error and refuse
deletion rather than defaulting to qemu.

In `@internal/core/wait.go`:
- Around line 299-300: Update the waitStopped polling predicate to propagate a
later StateOf error instead of treating it as still running, while retaining the
non-running state check on successful calls. Ensure pollUntil surfaces that
provider error to direct Wait(..., UntilStopped) callers, without changing
AutoRestartAfterInstall’s existing behavior of discarding errors from this wait.

In `@internal/hostops/support.go`:
- Around line 10-12: Update the VM record-access statements near
RequireLocalHypervisor to avoid claiming reads or edits work on unqualified
hosts until CLI routing supports them; either route those commands through
RequireDataRoot or revise the statements to match the current dispatch behavior.

In `@internal/sshx/sshx.go`:
- Line 150: Update endpoint address construction in Wait to use net.JoinHostPort
with Endpoint.Host and Endpoint.Port instead of fmt.Sprintf, preserving valid
dialing for IPv4, hostnames, and IPv6 literals.
- Around line 66-69: Update Provider.Endpoint to reject or otherwise prevent
empty KnownHosts for non-loopback endpoints, while continuing to allow it for
loopback endpoints. Enforce this invariant before constructing the SSH host
options in the Endpoint flow, preserving the existing known-hosts configuration
for endpoints that provide KnownHosts.

Use hostops.RequireDataRoot() for data-root operations.

EnsureRoot, VM.Save, and VM.Delete call RequireLocalHypervisor() before creating, writing, or removing VM records. On unsupported hosts, these operations return ErrUnsupported even though they do not start or stop QEMU. Replace these three gates with RequireDataRoot(). Keep RequireLocalHypervisor() for QEMU start and stop paths.

Preserve the provider before pruning a broken VM.

pruneBroken reconstructs bv without Provider, so StateOf defaults to QEMU. A broken vm.toml that names a non-QEMU provider can then appear stopped and reach bv.Delete(), which removes its directory and guest disk. Checking only for a StateOf error does not prevent this path. Recover the provider before checking state; if it cannot be recovered, return an error and do not delete the VM.

Recover the provider before checking a broken VM, or refuse deletion.

Destroy reconstructs bv with an empty Provider. provider.For then selects qemu, so StateOf checks the local pidfile even when the broken vm.toml declared another provider. When another provider is added, Destroy can treat that VM as stopped and delete its directory. Recover provider from the raw vm.toml, as config.BrokenSSHPort does, or return an error when recovery fails.

Return provider errors from waitStopped.

If a later StateOf call fails during polling, this predicate treats the failure as “still running.” pollUntil can then return only ctx.Err() to direct Wait(..., UntilStopped) callers. AutoRestartAfterInstall intentionally discards errors from this wait, so the fix should stop the unnecessary timeout; it should not change that caller’s silent-give-up contract. Its initial StateOf error is already returned directly.

♻️ Proposed fix
 func waitStopped(ctx context.Context, v *config.VM) error {
-	return pollUntil(ctx, func() bool {
-		state, err := StateOf(ctx, v)
-		return err == nil && state != StateRunning
-	})
+	var stateErr error
+	pollErr := pollUntil(ctx, func() bool {
+		state, err := StateOf(ctx, v)
+		if err != nil {
+			stateErr = err
+			return true
+		}
+		return state != StateRunning
+	})
+	if stateErr != nil {
+		return stateErr
+	}
+	return pollErr
 }

Do not advertise record access before the CLI routes it correctly.

Both new statements say that VM record reads and edits work on an unqualified host. However, internal/cli/cli.go calls hostops.RequireLocalHypervisor() on Line 506 before dispatching every command after the early exceptions. Such commands cannot reach their handlers on unsupported hosts. Either route record-only commands through RequireDataRoot, or change these statements until that routing exists.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Theoretical
CWE: CWE-295 — Improper Certificate Validation

Enforce the endpoint host-key invariant at the provider boundary.

The only production provider currently returns loopback, so this is not exploitable today. However, Provider.Endpoint accepts arbitrary Endpoint values, while empty KnownHosts disables host-key verification. Allow empty KnownHosts only for loopback endpoints to protect future routable providers.

Use net.JoinHostPort for endpoint dialing.

Endpoint.Host has no IPv4-only restriction. An IPv6 literal produces an invalid address with fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", e.Host, e.Port), so Wait can fail before bannerReady runs. Use net.JoinHostPort.

Proposed fix
-	addr := fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", e.Host, e.Port)
+	addr := net.JoinHostPort(e.Host, fmt.Sprint(e.Port))
