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).
Each block in share/vmtest/<suite>/ starts from a fresh ssh-ready snapshot, gets a
Plasma session environment over ssh (the theme item needs one) and prints PASS/FAIL
lines. ONLY=<prefix> runs one block. 55 checks pass on the plain CachyOS VM.
One VM per loader, Steam Machine (--fremont): Steamify's state as its menu sees it,
OS name untouched, loader identity, the DKMS modules for every kernel, Steamify's
loader-specific code (hdmi_remove_boot_param), a kernel update, and a reboot into
each of the two kernels. Headless by default with a log Konsole (--window shows
the VMs). Fails when an advertised loader has no test. Limine 41, systemd-boot 40,
GRUB 40 checks pass.
QEMU/KVM scripts for a CachyOS KDE test VM (run.sh/run.ps1, get-iso,
guest SSH setup), host helper scripts to drive and inspect the
cachyos-gamescope-boot wizard in the guest, and a Claude Code skill
documenting the test workflow.
