feat(gce): run stoat VMs on Google Compute Engine - #122
Conversation
Flag, then config.toml, then gcloud's active configuration read from disk. The resolved value carries where it came from, so create output can name it. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
ADC is the base credential. An impersonated service account gives a headless host a stable identity with no secret on disk. A key file stays available behind its own config key, and setting both is an error. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Ubuntu resolves to a public image family. Debian gets none: its official GCE images carry no cloud-init, so a stoat seed does nothing there. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
The hard deadline is lastStartTimestamp plus maxRunDuration. A probe on 2026-09-08 found compute v1 returns no terminationTimestamp field, so a warning reading it would never fire. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
A non-qemu VM has no 9p device, so mountsDoc omits the mount entries there: a mount unit for a device that does not exist fails on every boot. A test proves the two providers' seeds differ by nothing else. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
…rule insertRequest is pure: no client, so every shape (labels, run-time limit, no service account, an oversize seed) is a table test with no network. rangeFor returns /32 for IPv4 and /128 for IPv6 (docket d45); a /32 on an IPv6 address would open most of the operator's prefix. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Registers as "gce". Create creates the firewall rule before the instance and rolls it back on a failed insert. Status maps GCE's instance states onto provider.Status, keeping the raw word for a frontend to show; REPAIRING falls to not-running since the API gives no guarantee the guest is reachable during repair. Endpoint pins the host key to a per-VM known_hosts file, since this connection crosses a routable network. Capabilities declares share, screenshot, sendkey, console logs, forward, snapshot, clone, and update's ram/cpu edits unsupported. A gce VM records its project and zone on vm.toml (GCEProject, GCEZone): settings.ResolveGCE's precedence only applies once, at create time, and every later command needs the instance's location without re-resolving it against whatever the environment says now. backend.RecipeScripts and cloudinit.UserData are now exported so this provider can build the same seed content the QEMU cloud-init backend builds, without a cdrom device to hand it a NoCloud ISO. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
config.VM.OS holds a guest name ("ubuntu"); catalog entry IDs are
more specific ("ubuntu-24.04"). GCEImageFor matched on ID, so Create
failed ErrNoSuchImage before any API call. GCEImageForOS matches on
Entry.OS instead.

domains.google.com/checkip now 301s to an HTML page since Google Domains was retired, so operatorRange always failed net.ParseIP and Create aborted. Switch to ipify, whose api.ipify.org hostname carries only A records, and reject a non-v4 answer explicitly: the instance's access config is always v4-only ONE_TO_ONE_NAT, so a v6 source range in the firewall rule would never match it. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Insert, Start, Stop, Delete and Get replayed against a fake http.RoundTripper with fixtures shaped like real API responses, no credentials and no network. instance_get.json's scheduling object carries no terminationTimestamp field, matching what compute v1 actually returns (docket d42). Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
core.VM carried no Provider field, so ls had nothing to show which surface a VM runs on. WHERE reads local for the empty (qemu) provider and the provider's own name otherwise; the JSON wire carries the same fact, omitted for qemu to keep the existing golden shape. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
A qemu VM gets one line; a v2 VM gets the provider name plus the project and zone it was created in, read from vm.toml directly since core.VM does not carry them. core.load() checked Root()/name/vm.toml directly, never DirFor, so Get() on any v2 VM (gce included) always reported not found. Route through config.Exists instead. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
qemu.Running dials a local pidfile; a gce VM has none even while its provider reports it live, so the edit pane's restart note and enter-key save both read a running VM as stopped. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
qemu.TypeConsolePassword dials a local monitor socket that only a qemu VM has. A gce VM can carry a console password too, and pressing t on a running one would try to type it through a socket that was never opened (docket d46). Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
core never imported internal/provider/gce, so its init never ran and
provider.For("gce") failed in the real binary; only tests, which import
the package directly, exercised it.
Detailer is a new optional interface: project, zone, machine type,
address and both stop deadlines, for a caller that wants more than
Status's running bit. gce implements it with one instances.get call.
Create now resolves settings.ResolveGCE itself and persists the
result, rather than leaving a gce VM with no project or zone at all.
Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
create gains --provider, --gcp-project and --gcp-zone, and prints a second line naming where the project and zone came from (docket d48): a silent fallback to gcloud's active project creates billable instances in whichever project gcloud happens to point at. ls warns under the table, and every command that loaded the VM warns to stderr, once the nearer of the run-time limit and any operator-requested stop is under an hour away. get's provider block gains machine type, address and expires, matching JSON and MCP, which now report the same facts. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
…er facts viewEdit called vmRunning directly, which for a gce VM reaches Provider.Status: a compute client and an instances.get with no timeout, on every render of the edit pane. It now resolves once through a tea.Cmd when the pane opens; View reads the stored result. The list row and the detail pane now show a VM's provider, matching the CLI's WHERE column and get's provider block. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
The address lookup is wrong for anyone whose ssh traffic leaves by a different path than an https request: a split-tunnel VPN, a proxy, a NAT pool wide enough that the answer is one address among many. The guest takes keys only, so a wrong range locks the operator out rather than letting anyone in, and source_range is the way out. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
C2 built RequireCapability and C3 declared capabilities, and nothing called one from the other: stoat snapshot on a gce VM took the qemu path. The two providers also named operations differently, so the first wiring refused snapshots on qemu as well. The operation names are now constants in internal/capabilities that both providers and every call site share. snapshot, clone, screenshot, forward and console logs consult them; qemu declares all of them supported and gce declares them unsupported. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
The limit was fixed at six hours with no way to change it. The spec and docket d11 both say 24h with providers.gce max_run_duration overriding it, and a value outside compute's 30s to 120d range is refused here rather than by an opaque 400. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Six defects the test suite could not see, found by running against a live project. create demanded the local qcow2 for an image gce never opens, so the provider was unusable without a multi-gigabyte download of a file nothing reads. create also inserted a running instance, leaving up to refuse with "already running"; the insert moves to Start, matching what create means everywhere else, and Status reports a VM whose instance does not exist yet as stopped. internal/sshx built a loopback endpoint inside Run, Provision, RunCheck and the cloud-init probe, so exec dialled 127.0.0.1 on a cloud guest. Those resolve through a hook internal/provider installs at init, since provider imports sshx and the reverse would cycle. up printed an ssh port and a qemu window for a Compute Engine instance, and rm warned about a run-time deadline on a stopped VM, which has none. CapabilityError carries its reason in a field, and the JSON envelope carries it too: an agent branching on why an operation was refused should not parse the sentence. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
…exist The gate creates a real instance and asserts what the unit suite cannot see: that create makes no instance, that the guest answers as the seeded account with cloud-init finished, that a refusal carries a machine readable reason, that the home directory survives a stop and start, and that rm leaves no instance, disk or firewall rule behind. It skips loudly without STOAT_GCE_LIVE_PROJECT and STOAT_GCE_LIVE_ZONE. The deadline warning told the reader to run stoat gce extend, which lands in the next slice. It states the deadline and names nothing. The TUI detail screen hides the display and vnc rows for a cloud VM: a socket path nothing listens on sends a user hunting for a viewer.

…ated option errcheck flagged every deferred Close on a compute client and on the address lookup's response body. option.ImpersonateCredentials is deprecated in favour of the impersonate package, which mints a token source from whatever ADC resolves and exchanges it for one as the target account; ADC stays the base credential either way. option.WithCredentialsFile is deprecated because a key file on disk is a standing credential someone can copy, which is the same reason d7 makes it an explicit escape hatch rather than a fallback. It has no replacement, so the call carries a targeted suppression naming why. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>

Inline comments:
In `@internal/core/image.go`:
- Around line 162-170: Update the remote catalog-entry branch in the image
construction flow to retain a stable catalog/provider image reference when no
local file exists, and ensure Create stores that reference in config.VM. Update
Diff to compare the persisted reference with the desired image so changes still
trigger the immutable-image check; preserve local absolute/relative path
handling.
In `@internal/core/vm.go`:
- Line 307: Update Provider.Details to derive a bounded child context from its
input context, and use that context for both Compute client creation and the
InstancesClient.Get request instead of an unbounded context. Keep the existing
details behavior unchanged otherwise.
In `@internal/iso/iso.go`:
- Line 466: Define and export a sentinel error for the missing GCE image
variant, then update both GCEImageFor and GCEImageForOS to wrap it with %w while
preserving the existing contextual message. Ensure errors propagated through
gce.Provider.Create and insert remain matchable via errors.Is.
In `@internal/provider/gce/deadline_test.go`:
- Around line 33-41: The test currently targets the duplicate GCE helper instead
of the retained provider-level helper. Move coverage to provider.Nearest, add
cases for zero deadlines, remove the unused now parameter from Nearest and all
callers, and delete the redundant internal/provider/gce nearest helper and its
tests; do not add past-deadline filtering unless separately required.
In `@internal/provider/gce/firewall_test.go`:
- Around line 8-16: Strengthen TestFirewallRuleIsScopedToOneVMAndOneSource by
asserting the firewall rule’s protocol, port, and direction, and compare
TargetTags[0] exactly with vmTag("cloudy") instead of using a substring check.
Remove the strings import if no longer used.
In `@internal/provider/gce/gce.go`:
- Around line 270-283: Update Destroy’s c.Delete and deleteFirewallRule error
handling to treat GCE 404/not-found errors as successful completion, allowing
firewall cleanup and subsequent local vm.toml deletion; continue returning all
non-404 errors unchanged.
- Around line 144-149: Update the per-VM firewall insertion flow in insert to
recognize a 409 alreadyExists response for the ownership-scoped stoat-ssh rule
as reusable, allowing Start to continue to InstancesClient.Insert instead of
returning an error. Preserve normal error propagation for other firewall
insertion or fwOp.Wait failures.
In `@internal/provider/gce/instance_test.go`:
- Around line 166-174: Add table-driven regression coverage for diskSizeGB
conversion using inputs "20G", "512M", "1.5T", "8G", "", and "20", asserting
each produces the expected DiskSizeGb value through insertRequest. Keep the test
focused on the existing diskSizeGB path and do not modify production code in
this test file.
In `@internal/provider/gce/instance.go`:
- Around line 140-158: Update diskSizeGB so the K and M suffixes apply their
corresponding fractional-gigabyte multipliers instead of leaving mult at 1, and
compute n multiplied by mult in floating point before converting to int64 once.
Preserve the existing positive-value validation and 10 GB minimum clamp,
including correct handling of fractional terabyte inputs such as 1.5T.
- Around line 117-129: Update Create and the machineType flow to reject
unsupported E2 custom shapes before instances.insert: require an even CPU count
from 2 through 32, and ensure the rounded RAM is between 0.5 and 8 GB per vCPU.
Remove reliance on the cpus = 1 fallback for values that Create should reject,
while preserving the existing RAM rounding behavior for valid inputs.
- Around line 89-91: Update the instance metadata constructed in the instance
creation flow to include a block-project-ssh-keys entry set to TRUE alongside
the existing user-data item, ensuring project-wide SSH keys are not merged when
metadata-based SSH is active.
In `@internal/provider/resolver.go`:
- Line 24: Update the endpoint resolver contract to accept a context.Context,
then pass the caller’s context through the resolver implementation and every
Provider.Endpoint invocation instead of creating context.Background(). Ensure
endpoint lookups honor SSH caller cancellation and deadlines.
In `@internal/settings/resolve_test.go`:
- Around line 66-75: Remove the hand-written contains helper and use the
standard-library strings.Contains function at its call sites, adding the
required strings import if absent. Preserve the existing substring-check
behavior.
In `@internal/settings/resolve.go`:
- Around line 27-30: Choose a single resolution contract for ResolveGCE and make
both implementation and documentation consistent: either preserve mixed
project/zone fallback and track the source independently for each field,
updating the Resolved model and internal/core/core.go reporting accordingly, or
resolve both fields exclusively from the first source providing both values and
remove mixed-pair behavior. Update the ResolveGCE comment and related source
handling to match the chosen contract.
In `@internal/sshx/endpoint.go`:
- Line 62: Update the mustEndpoint call sites in Provision to propagate the
endpoint-resolution error instead of continuing with an empty host. Ensure
provisioning returns immediately when resolution fails, before retries or SSH
attempts, while preserving normal endpoint handling on successful resolution.
In `@internal/sshx/sshx.go`:
- Line 294: Resolve the GCE endpoint once before invoking waitCloudInit, then
pass the resolved endpoint into cloudInitProbe and reuse it for each SSH probe
instead of calling mustEndpoint(v) inside the polling loop.
In `@internal/tui/edit.go`:
- Line 446: Update the save flow around saveEdit so the Bubble Tea Update path
no longer calls vmRunning synchronously. Move the status check and saveEdit
operation into a tea.Cmd, then return and handle a message carrying the result
to keep the Update loop responsive.
- Around line 58-64: Update editRunningMsg and checkEditRunning to carry the VM
directory and edit-session generation alongside the running result, then in the
Update handling path modify m.edit.running only when both values match the
active edit session. Keep the save path’s independent vmRunning call unchanged.
In `@tests/gce-live-gate.sh`:
- Line 23: Update the VM name construction using the vm variable in
tests/gce-live-gate.sh to include a CI run identifier or sufficiently random
suffix in addition to the process ID, ensuring names are globally unique across
workers and preventing cleanup collisions for instances and firewall rules.

Persist a stable remote image reference.
For a remote catalog entry with no local file, this branch leaves both abs and rel empty. Create then stores no image field for the cloud-init VM, and Diff compares empty stored and desired values. A later change to vms.<key>.image can therefore bypass the immutable-image check and leave the existing VM on the original image.
Store a catalog or provider image reference in config.VM, and compare that reference in Diff.

Provider.Details passes its context directly to InstancesClient.Get without a deadline. internal/core/vm.go supplies context.Background(), so this request has no caller cancellation and can keep the details path waiting when the Compute API or network is unavailable. Derive a bounded child context in Details and use it for client creation and Get.

Cover the provider-level helper and remove the duplicate GCE helper.
internal/provider/gce.nearest has no production callers. internal/provider.Nearest contains the same branch logic. Both helpers return the correct labels, and neither reads now or filters expired deadlines. Add the zero-deadline cases to tests for the retained helper, then remove now from that helper and its callers. Define and test past-deadline filtering separately if that behavior is required.

Bind editRunningMsg to the active edit session.
A delayed checkEditRunning result can overwrite m.edit.running after another edit session starts. The edit pane can then show an incorrect restart warning for the active VM.
Include the VM directory and a session generation in editRunningMsg. Update m.edit.running only when both values match the active edit session. The save path calls vmRunning independently, so this race does not affect the save decision.
