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).
vmtest.sh [--install] [--window] [--screen] [boot|loader|suite...], a detached screen
session with --screen, the summary in ~/vms/last-test.txt, the rows that need a person
listed as SKIP. New: the installer suite (R2.1), the toggles suite (R1.8) and H3 (BIOS
dry-run, per-block '# env:' for the VM start). vmsuite.sh and vmbootloadertest.sh are
executable again.
Scripted menu input and Steamify's own status functions, journals free of duplicates,
--backend status as JSON, an older item shown as (update). The test scripts append to
$TEST_LOG and share one Konsole (common.sh view_start) instead of opening one each;
vmsuite.sh streams its output (sed -u). 36 checks pass.
- vmwatch.sh --release: run the newest GitHub release in the VM.
- vmreset.sh: skip the broken krfoss mirror, install shellcheck.
- vmshot.sh --clean: close Steam, CachyOS Hello and Konsole first.
- Skill: items 1-7, menu loop and restart question, current inputs, finish on a fresh snapshot, release testing, Steamify shortcut, zsh pitfall.
- run.sh: BIOS_VERSION=... reports that BIOS version to the guest (SMBIOS type 0).
- Skill: testing the BIOS item with WIZARD_BIOS_DRY_RUN=1, and the wizard's menu loop.
- scripts/vmreset.sh, vmwatch.sh (wizard in a visible Konsole), vmshot.sh.
- vmstate.sh: DKMS per kernel, DKMS override, headers service, dark LnF, wallpaper, layout backup.
- cmp.sh: also kcminputrc and ksplashrc.
- Skill: pitfalls and checks from testing cachyos-gamescope-boot 0.7.0.
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.
