+# Test buckets — short vs long
+
+Integration tests in `test/` split by image-build cost.
+
+**Short tests** assume a test image already exists (`DEVCELL_TEST_*_IMAGE`, or a local `devcell-user:*-thin`) and skip cleanly when it doesn't. They must NEVER call `buildLocalImage()`. The inner loop and per-PR CI run only these.
+
+**Long tests** call `buildLocalImage(...)` to provision their own image (~5–10 min per stack) and MUST gate at the top:
+
+```go
+if testing.Short() { t.Skip("long: builds its own image") }
+```
+
+Nightly and release CI run these.
+
+## Run modes
+
+| Command | What runs | When |
+|---|---|---|
+| `go test -short ./test` | Short only | Inner loop, pre-commit, PR CI |
+| `DEVCELL_TEST_THIN_IMAGE=<tag> go test ./test` | All, against a pinned tag, no build | PR CI after `docker pull` |
+| `DEVCELL_TEST_BUILD_THIN=1 go test ./test` | `TestMain` builds ultimate-thin once, shared by all | Nightly, release |
+
+## Rules
+
+- Only `TestMain` and long tests may call `buildLocalImage`.
+- Long tests start with the `testing.Short()` skip — no exceptions.
+- Skip messages must name both the missing artifact and the command that supplies it, e.g. ``"set DEVCELL_TEST_DEV_IMAGE or run `cell build --stack dev --thin`"``.

+# Vocabulary
+
+The runtime model has five entities. Use these words consistently in code, comments, error messages, log output, docs, and prose — a rename in one layer without the others is what made the old naming ambiguous.
+
+- **cell** — a named, persistent identity, and a boundary: one shared `$HOME` (`~/.devcell/<cellName>/`), one network, one secrets scope. May host many projects. May be running or stopped. Defaults to `main`; override with `DEVCELL_CELL_NAME`, or inherit from `TMUX_SESSION_NAME`.
+- **project** — a host directory with code, mounted into a container.
+- **container** — the running docker instance for one (cell, project) pair. Ephemeral.
+- **stack** — the image variant a container is built from.
+- **module** — a toggleable Nix capability composed into a stack.
+
+## Retired words
+
+Do not use these as devcell-layer terms:
+
+- ~~**session**~~ — tmux owns this word.
+- ~~**workspace**~~ — survives only in `internal/serve/` for the MS-TSWP RDP protocol, where it is the protocol's own term. `WorkspaceResource` is still pending a rename to `Cell`.

+# devcell — Project Instructions
+
+## Terminology
+
+cell, project, container, stack, module — defined in `.claude/rules/vocabulary.md`, which loads every session. Do NOT use *session* or *workspace* as devcell-layer terms.
+
+## Git Policy
+
+- Do NOT create commits automatically. Always ask the user to commit.
+- Do NOT push to remote unless the user explicitly asks.
+
+## TDD
+
+Every behavioral change to `cmd/`, `internal/`, or `nixhome/modules/llm/*.nix` lands with a test that was failing before the change. Write the failing test first, implement the minimum to pass, then refactor.
+
+Applies to: a new flag, env var, TOML key, or CLI subcommand (`cmd/*_test.go`); a new `internal/*` function with observable behavior (same package); a new MCP server, system-prompt source, or runner argv field (`internal/runner/*_test.go`).
+
+No new test required for: pure refactors, docs, dependency bumps, nix module additions (nixhome now lives in `devcell-sh/community-home`), or entrypoint shell fragments (covered by `test/`).
+
+## Nix environment layout
+
+- Nix is owned by the `devcell` user, home at `/opt/devcell` — stable, never remounted.
+- The session user is `$HOST_USER`, home at `/home/$HOST_USER`, created at startup by the entrypoint.
+- Nix profile path is `/opt/devcell/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile` — home-manager's native path, updated on every `home-manager switch`.
+- The entrypoint copies `/opt/devcell/` dotfiles to `/home/$HOST_USER/` with `sed "s|/opt/devcell|$HOME|g"` to redirect write paths.
+- Use `ln -sfT` (not `ln -sf`) when replacing a symlink-to-directory; `-T` prevents creating the link *inside* the target.
+- `ENV USER=devcell` is required in the nix stage — `nix.sh` checks `[ -n "$USER" ]` and silently no-ops if empty.
+- `$HOME/.config/nix/nix.conf` must carry `experimental-features = nix-command flakes` at BUILD time.
+
+## Architecture detection in Dockerfiles
+
+Do NOT use `ARG TARGETARCH=amd64` — the docker driver doesn't set it for host-platform builds. Use `ARCH=$(uname -m)` in `RUN` steps.
+
+## Nix module edits
+
+Nix modules (nixhome) now live in the standalone `devcell-sh/community-home` repo. Edits to `.nix` files in this repo are limited to `flake.nix` (the Go package build).
+
+Escaping inside `writeShellScriptBin` (`''...''` strings) is the usual culprit:
+
+- `${VAR}` must be `''${VAR}` (otherwise Nix interpolates it)
+- `''` (empty shell string) must be `''''`
+- `$VAR` without braces passes through as-is
+
+## Go module and generated-docs hygiene
+
+The CI **Deploy Site** workflow compiles all `cmd/*.go` together with `cmd/gendoc.go`. Three things must hold or `go build` exits 1:
+
+1. Run `go mod tidy && go build ./...` after any dependency or import change, and commit the result. A green local build is NOT enough — CI starts from a clean module cache, so a missing `go.sum` entry only surfaces there.
+2. Build-time-only tooling deps must stay anchored in `cmd/tools.go` (`//go:build tools`). `cmd/gendoc.go` is `//go:build ignore`, so `go mod tidy` can't see its `cobra/doc` import and would prune the transitive deps. Anchor any other build-ignored tool's deps there too.
+3. `docs/` is gitignored (swagger output) but `cmd/serve.go` imports it, so any workflow compiling `serve.go` must run `task swagger:generate` first.
+
+After changing `go.mod`/`go.sum`, run `task nix:sync` — it resolves `flake.nix`'s `vendorHash` and stages it. The pre-commit hook only verifies.
+
+## Disk space
+
+If a build fails with "no space left on device":
+
+1. Prune build cache first (safe): `docker buildx prune -af`
+2. If still insufficient, **ask the user to stop old containers — never stop them yourself.** Each pins a ~13 GB untagged image with almost no layer sharing, so 2–3 usually frees ~20 GB. Then `docker image prune`.

+# CONTINUE.md — session wakeup document (written 2026-08-06)
+
+## Mission context
+Goal: get WSL2 + NixOS-WSL running inside the Windows 11 ARM64 debug VM, booted
+with plain `qemu-system-aarch64` on the user's Mac (M4 Pro, macOS 26.5.2) at
+native speed. VM disk = UTM bundle `test/testdata/Windows.utm/Data/D76FB0BC-D7CC-4481-A6B6-492BEB4D834B.qcow2`.
+
+## FINAL VERDICT (fully diagnosed, sealed)
+**WSL2 under hvf nested virt is impossible today.** Chain of evidence:
+- QEMU 11.0.93 (= 11.1-rc) installed on the Mac; nested virt (EL2) enabled via
+  `-M virt,virtualization=on,gic-version=3`.
+- EDK2 hangs at "Start boot option" under nested — known upstream issue in the
+  hvf nested series; workaround `-boot menu=on,splash-time=0` (APPLIED in
+  Taskfile, works — Windows boots to desktop under nested config).
+- Alpine control VM (`task debug:alpine:start`): kernel prints
+  `CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2` and `kvm: Hyp nVHE mode initialized
+  successfully` → nested EL2 WORKS for Linux, but in **nVHE-only** form.
+- Windows event log (every boot): Event 43
+  `Hypervisor launch failed; EL2 not present.` → Windows' hypervisor requires
+  **VHE**; Apple's nested API (macOS 26) is nVHE-only, no FEAT_NV1/VNCR.
+  `wsl --install --from-file` always fails `HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED`.
+- Not fixable in QEMU: VHE is pervasive untrappable hardware behavior; hvf has
+  no NV-style exits. Blocked on Apple exposing VHE-in-nested (Feedback
+  Assistant) or QEMU hybrid hvf+tcg (multi-year).
+- Practical paths: `ACCEL=tcg` (whole WSL2 chain works, slow 10-25 min boot);
+  or run NixOS directly under hvf (nested Linux works great); or wait for Apple.
+- `HypervisorPresent:True` from WMI is a red herring; event log is authoritative.
+- Tractable upstream patches if ever desired: tpm-tis HV_BAD_ARGUMENT under
+  nested; EDK2 hang root cause (missing EL2 phys timer); clearer VHE error.
+
+## Current state of the VM tooling (all works, verified)
+`task debug:windows:start` — boots UTM disk under hvf, 4 gates
+(VNC→IP→SSH→qga), ~10s to green, IP 192.168.2.2, SMB share via dockurr/samba,
+VNC 127.0.0.1:5907 pass `vnc`. Graceful stop verified: "guest shut down
+cleanly" (qga path). Passwordless SSH: Mac key in guest's
+administrators_authorized_keys; `ssh dmitry@192.168.2.2` (password fallback:
+rdp). Guest has staged `%TEMP%\nixos.aarch64.wsl` (577MB) +
+`C:\Users\Dmitry\nixos-import.ps1`; WSL engine 2.7.11 installed; wsl --list
+empty (expected — import blocked).
+
+### Taskfile changes this session (feature/wip, ALL UNCOMMITTED — git policy: never commit unless asked)
+- `debug:windows:start`: NESTED var (default 1; 0 = proven plain-virt boot
+  with TPM); SECURE var (0 = qemu's plain EDK2 instead of UTM secure-code);
+  version-gated `virtualization=on,gic-version=3` + `-boot
+  menu=on,splash-time=0` when nested; TPM skipped when nested (tpm-tis =
+  HV_BAD_ARGUMENT under EL2; safe: BitLocker Protection Off); NVMe serial
+  truncated `cut -c1-20` (QEMU 11.1 enforces spec); launch wrapped in
+  `if ! qemu…; then tail -5 qemu.log; fi` (daemonize hides errors);
+  pidfile pre-touched user-owned (no more root-owned leftovers); stop reads
+  pidfile via `cat || $SUDO cat`.
+- NEW `debug:alpine:start` / `debug:alpine:stop`: nested-virt litmus test.
+  ISO `.tmp/alpine-virt-aarch64.iso` (downloaded, 80MB). SERIAL_PORT default
+  5910 → interactive serial on tcp:0.0.0.0:5910 (`nc 127.0.0.1 5910`);
+  SERIAL_PORT= (empty) → file log + blocking wait for login prompt.
+  NESTED=0 control boots at EL1.
+- Also earlier (pre-session summary): flake.nix devShell + swtpm; .gitignore
+  `.tmp/`; whole start/stop rewrite (pid lock, qmsg perl helper for
+  QMP/qga — macOS `nc -U` never returns data; `env kill` not `kill` in task
+  scripts — mvdan/sh builtin no-ops).
+
+## Techniques discovered (reusable)
+- I can watch the VM myself from this container: VNC via

 On first run the CLI scaffolds a `Vagrantfile`, starts the VM, installs Nix single-user, and applies the same home-manager configuration used by Docker images. Subsequent runs detect whether provisioning is needed and skip it if the binary is already present.
 
+## libvirt engine (host VMs from inside a cell)
+
+Inside a Docker cell on a Mac there is no HVF and no `/dev/kvm`, so `--engine=qemu` falls back to TCG software emulation (10–20× slower). The libvirt engine instead drives QEMU **on the macOS host** — with HVF acceleration — through libvirtd, reached from the cell over `qemu+tcp://host.docker.internal/session`.
+
+Scope: libvirt mode boots and connects to an **already-prepped template**. Build the template once with `cell build --engine=qemu` on the macOS host; `cell build --engine=libvirt` intentionally refuses (CELL-379 tracks install-over-libvirt).
+
+One-time host setup (macOS):
+
+```bash
+brew install libvirt
+brew services start libvirt
+```
+
+Enable TCP listen for the session daemon in `libvirtd.conf` (usually `/opt/homebrew/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf`):
+
+```
+listen_tcp = 1
+listen_addr = "127.0.0.1"
+auth_tcp = "none"
+```
+
+> **Security note:** `qemu+tcp` with `auth_tcp = "none"` is unauthenticated — anyone who can reach the port can control your VMs. Keep `listen_addr` on loopback/the Docker bridge only. A hardened `qemu+ssh://` transport is planned; until then treat this as a local-development convenience.
+
+Then from any cell:
+
+```bash
+cell shell --engine=libvirt            # boot the template on the host, SSH in
+cell shell --engine=libvirt --dry-run  # print the resolved URI + domain XML
+```
+
+**Auto-default:** inside a Docker cell on a Mac (container + `host.docker.internal` resolves + no usable `/dev/kvm`), `--engine=qemu` automatically upgrades to libvirt remote mode — local qemu could only mean TCG. Pin the in-container path with `--engine=qemu --local`.
+
+**Project files:** the guest's `~\<project>` is synced over the session's SSH channel — pushed before your agent starts (`push`, default), optionally pulled back on exit (`two-way`), or disabled (`off`).
+
+Configuration (`.devcell.toml`):
+
+```toml
+[cell]
+engine = "libvirt"
+libvirt_uri = "qemu+tcp://host.docker.internal/session"  # default; env: DEVCELL_LIBVIRT_URI
+qemu_project_sync = "push"  # push (default) | two-way | off; env: DEVCELL_QEMU_PROJECT_SYNC
+
+# Container→host path rewrites for the domain XML: QEMU on the host must
+# open disks/firmware at HOST paths, not the cell's bind-mount paths.
+[cell.libvirt_path_map]
+"/devcell-155" = "/Users/dmitry/dev/dimmkirr/devcell"
+"/home/dmitry" = "/Users/dmitry"
+```
+
+The host UEFI firmware defaults to brew's `/opt/homebrew/share/qemu/edk2-aarch64-code.fd`; override with `DEVCELL_LIBVIRT_FIRMWARE`.
+
+Verify connectivity with `virsh -c qemu+tcp://host.docker.internal/session list --all` from inside the cell, or just run any libvirt-engine command — the preflight maps each failure (port closed, wrong service, auth enabled) to the fix.
+
 ## MCP servers
 
 Baked into the image and auto-merged into each agent's config at container startup. User-defined servers are preserved. Where applicable, the backing tools ship too: KiCad, Inkscape, and OpenTofu are installed alongside their MCP servers, so the agent can run `tofu plan`, analyze PCBs, or edit SVGs. New servers ship with image updates.

-// Pull tests — RED phase of TDD for CELL-293.
-//
-// What we're testing:
-//
-//  1. Pull(srcRef, dstDir) downloads an OCI image's LAST layer and
-//     extracts it (as a gzipped tarball) into dstDir. dstDir is the
-//     filesystem root onto which `nix/...` archive paths land directly
-//     (no --strip-components needed inside the package — the workflow
-//     extracts into a mount where /dest IS the volume root, so archive
-//     entries like `nix/store/...` become /dest/nix/store/...).
-//
-//  2. The pulled bytes match the input bytes — i.e., what we push and
-//     what we pull are byte-identical. This is the exact assertion
-//     CELL-292 burned 30 commits failing to maintain.
-//
-// Setup: an in-memory OCI registry (httptest + pkg/registry from
-// go-containerregistry, already imported by internal/runner/registry.go).
-// We seed it with a known image (busybox base + a known tar.gz layer
-// containing a fixture nix-store layout) and exercise Pull against it.

-// Push tests — RED phase of TDD for CELL-293 (push side).
-//
-// What we're testing:
-//
-//  1. Push streams an uncompressed tar from a reader through to the
-//     registry as a single OCI tar+gzip layer atop a base image. The
-//     resulting on-wire layer is SINGLE-gzipped (not double — `crane
-//     append --new_layer -` re-gzipped pre-gzipped stdin; the
-//     `stream.NewLayer` approach we're using here doesn't).
-//
-//  2. Round-trip integrity: what we push via Push() is what we pull via
-//     Pull(). Byte-for-byte. This is the test the local cache pipeline
-//     has needed all along — same Go code path on both sides means
-//     format drift between push and pull is impossible.
-//
-//  3. Auth + reference parsing surface — bad image refs return errors,
-//     not panics.

+
+## Constraints
+
+- `/opt/devcell` is the nix environment — do not modify at runtime.
+- Nix profile: `/opt/devcell/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile`
+
+## Nix runtime
+
+## Installing packages
+
+To persist a package across image rebuilds, add it to nixhome — the Nix Home Manager configuration at `/opt/devcell/nixhome`. Pick the module matching the tool's domain (e.g. `go.nix`, `node.nix`, `base.nix`, `infra.nix`), add the package to `home.packages`, then run `task nix:validate` before building. See `.claude/rules/nixhome.md` for the full workflow.
+
+### Installing packages ad-hoc
+
+If a package is needed only for the current container, use `nix profile install`:
+
+```sh
+nix profile install nixpkgs#<attr>
+```
+
+Installed binaries land in `~/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/bin/`, already on PATH. To verify an attribute exists first: `nix eval nixpkgs#<attr>.pname --raw`. These installs survive container restarts (persistent `$HOME`) but are not baked into the image — they will be lost on image rebuild.
+
+### PATH layout
+
+First match wins:
+
+1. `~/go/bin` — Go binaries built by the user
+2. `~/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/bin` — ad-hoc nix profile installs
+3. `/opt/devcell/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/bin` — baked image packages
+4. `~/.local/share/mise/shims` — mise-managed runtimes (go, node, python, terraform)
+5. system PATH
+
+This is a Nix environment — binaries are NOT in `/usr/bin` or `/usr/local/bin`. If you can't find something at a standard path, do not assume the software is missing. Check the directories above and use `which <cmd>` or `command -v <cmd>` before concluding a tool is not installed. Ad-hoc installs (2) shadow baked packages (3).
+
+### C libraries and dynamic linking
+
+Nix does not use `/usr/lib` or `/usr/include`. The nix-ld shim handles non-nix binaries.
+
+- Shared libraries (`.so`) from the profile closure are symlinked into `/opt/devcell/.nix-ld-libs/`.
+- `NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (not `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`) points there — this is what nix-ld reads.
+- If a binary fails with "cannot open shared object": install the library via `nix profile install`, then check if the
+  `.so` appears in `~/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/lib/`.
+- For ad-hoc installs, you may need to extend the search path:
+
+```sh
+export NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/lib${NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
+```
+
+### Go + C (CGO)
+
+`CC` is set to `cc` (resolves to clang via nix). `gcc` is not available.
+
+For Go packages with C dependencies (`CGO_ENABLED=1`), install the C library via nix profile, then point CGO at the nix
+store paths:
+
+```sh
+PKG=$(nix eval nixpkgs#<lib>.outPath --raw)
+export CGO_CFLAGS="-I$PKG/include"
+export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$PKG/lib"
+```
+
+`pkg-config` works if the library provides a `.pc` file — the nix profile puts them in
+`~/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile/lib/pkgconfig/` or `share/pkgconfig/`. Set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` accordingly if needed.

-#   SingletonCookie  — symlink → "<random>-<unix-time>"

-# SIGKILL (e.g. `docker rm -f`, OOM, container restart, panic) they're left
-# behind, pointing at a PID that's now dead in the previous PID namespace.
-# A subsequent chromium launch either hangs probing the dead socket, or
-# refuses to start with "Failed to acquire SingletonLock".

-# WHAT
-# ----
-# On every container start, sweep these three files from ALL per-app
-# Chromium profile dirs under $HOME/.chrome/. We don't need to check

-# recorded in a SingletonLock from a previous container generation is

-# scraping/extensions.nix — third-party Chromium extensions for the patchright
-# MCP and the interactive chromium wrapper.
-#
-# Distribution model (non-negotiable, see CELL-37):
-#   • Fetch from upstream URL at image build time (`pkgs.fetchurl`).
-#     NEVER vendor the extension zip in this repo — no .zip in tree, no LFS,
-#     no base64'd bytes in .nix.
-#   • Version pin via URL: the upstream release tag is embedded in the URL.
-#     Bump = edit the tag string AND the hash. No floating "latest" URLs.
-#   • Integrity pin via sha256 (SRI form, `hash = "sha256-..."`). md5 is
-#     collision-broken and nixpkgs fetchers reject it for new sources.
-#   • Unpack at build time. `--load-extension` requires an unpacked directory
-#     containing manifest.json at the root — NOT a .crx or .zip.
-#
-# Bumping an extension:
-#   1) Replace the `url` with the new release-tag-versioned URL.
-#   2) Re-prefetch the hash:
-#        nix store prefetch-file <new-url> --json | jq -r .hash
-#      or:  nix-prefetch-url <new-url>     (gives bare sha256; convert to SRI
-#                                            with `nix hash convert --to sri`)
-#   3) Run `task nix:validate` (or its equivalent — see CELL-37 notes).
-#
-# Enabling an extension at the cell level:
-#   devcell.scraping.extensions.<name>.enable = true;
-#
-# Defining a new extension:
-#   devcell.scraping.extensions.adblock = {

-// human-mouse.js — Realistic human mouse movement for Playwright v2
-//
-// Paste the helper block below into browser_run_code scripts.
-// Tracks mouse position across calls (_mx/_my).
-//
-// Features:
-//   - Cubic Bezier curves with asymmetric control points
-//   - Overshoot proportional to distance, then smooth correction
-//   - Quintic ease-in-out (slow→fast→slow, more pronounced than smoothstep)
-//   - Mid-path micro-corrections on long moves (hesitation/direction change)
-//   - Hand tremor inversely proportional to speed
-//   - Occasional micro-pauses (2% chance mid-path)
-//   - Short moves (<50px) use direct path with jitter (no Bezier overhead)
-//   - Pre-click hover pause (30-150ms)
-//   - Post-click drift (hand shifts 1-4px after clicking)
-//   - Off-center clicks (35-65% of element width/height)
-//   - Variable typing speed with word-boundary pauses and rare thinking pauses
-//
-// ── Copy this block into browser_run_code ──────────────────────────────────
