vmsuite.sh: the ssh-ready snapshot becomes one base image, every block gets a new qcow2 overlay
(no snapshot restore), each suite has its own VM directory and ssh port (2301-2305, boot loaders
2401-2403), the host's package cache is bound over pacman's, VM_MEM defaults to 4G for tests
(run.sh VM_MEM, default 8G). vmtest.sh runs up to MAX_PARALLEL=3 jobs at once, slowest first.
scripts/vmtest-remote.sh runs vmtest.sh on another machine (the PC) over ssh and prints the
summary. CLAUDE.md and the branch cleanup skill now live in the repo.
Not proven as a whole: three VMs at once and the base image work, but a complete parallel run to
the end has not finished yet (P1/P2 in TODO.md); the remote runner and WSL2 are untried (R1-R2).
VM_BOOTLOADER=limine|systemd-boot|grub, VM_STEAMIFY (steamify-install runs after
the headless installer, like Calamares does), VM_CACHE (host pacman cache shared
as 9p, default ~/vms/pkg-cache). run.sh --headless / VM_HEADLESS=1: no window.
Fixes found on the way: the live script deadlocked on is-system-running (it is
the running kernel-command-line.service) and now waits for pacman-init; the post
script kept forcing the Plasma login over Steamify's gaming-mode SDDM, gave
systemd-boot no timeout/default (it waited in the menu for ever), and left ufw
blocking the host's ssh; the first-boot check wanted plasmashell in gaming mode.
