feat(firecracker): pull the infra rootfs as a prebuilt artifact (PRD 0069 Stage 2)

Stage 2 of the docker-free Firecracker backend (#348): stop building the
fixed infra image on the launch host. The infra VM's rootfs is host- and
bottle-agnostic (authorized_keys + guest IP ride the kernel cmdline, not the
rootfs), so it's built once off-host and published as a versioned, ready-to-
boot ext4; the launch host downloads + verifies + boots it — no Docker, no
image tooling, just HTTP + gunzip.

- infra_artifact.py: version = content hash of the rootfs inputs (the shipped
  bot_bottle package + the three Dockerfiles + the init), so a launch host
  pulls the artifact matching its code and a content change can't silently
  boot a stale rootfs. Pull + sha256-verify (fail-closed) + gunzip from a
  Gitea generic package; base/owner/token configurable, default this Gitea.
- infra_vm.ensure_built/boot default to the pull path; BOT_BOTTLE_INFRA_BUILD=
  local keeps the docker build-from-source path for iterating on Dockerfiles.
- publish_infra.py: the off-host half — builds the images with Docker, mke2fs
  the rootfs (with buildah slack), gzips, and PUTs it to the generic package.

Rollout note: default=pull means a launch 404s until an artifact is published;
until the Gitea packages endpoint is enabled + an artifact published, use
BOT_BOTTLE_INFRA_BUILD=local. Freeze/migrate's remaining docker use is a
separate PR.

+"""Prebuilt infra-VM rootfs, pulled as an artifact (PRD 0069 Stage 2).
+
+The Firecracker infra VM boots a fixed rootfs (orchestrator control plane +
+gateway + buildah, control-plane init as PID 1) that does not vary per launch —
+the per-boot bits (authorized_keys, guest IP) ride the kernel cmdline, so one
+rootfs boots on any host. Instead of building that rootfs on the launch host
+with Docker, we build it **off-host** and publish it as a versioned, ready-to-
+boot ext4 (gzip-compressed) to a Gitea **generic package**; the launch host
+downloads + verifies + boots it. No Docker, no image tooling on the launch
+host — just an HTTP fetch and gunzip.
+
+  publish (off-host, see publish_infra.py):
+    docker build -> rootfs dir -> mke2fs -> gzip -> PUT generic package
+  pull (this module, launch host):
+    GET .../rootfs.ext4.gz (+ .sha256) -> verify -> gunzip -> boot
+
+The artifact **version** is a content hash of everything baked into the rootfs
+(the shipped bot_bottle package, the three Dockerfiles, and the init), so a
+launch host always pulls the artifact matching its code and a content change
+can't silently boot a stale rootfs. A checksum mismatch fails closed.
+
+Set `BOT_BOTTLE_INFRA_BUILD=local` to skip the pull and build the rootfs
+locally with Docker (dev iteration on the Dockerfiles) — see `infra_vm`.

 ## Summary
 
 Make the Firecracker backend depend on **firecracker + KVM only**, removing
 Docker from the host. Two moves get us there: run the **sidecar bundle as a
 persistent, per-host service** (eventually a Firecracker VM) instead of a
-per-bottle container, and **build agent rootfs images without a host Docker
-daemon** (nix for the fixed images; an in-VM builder for user Dockerfiles).
+per-bottle container, and **provision rootfs images without a host Docker
+daemon** — pull the fixed images (orchestrator/gateway/infra) from an OCI
+registry and unpack them daemonlessly, and build user Dockerfiles in an in-VM
+builder. The images are still *built* with Docker, but off the launch host
+(CI / a publish step) and pushed to the registry; the launch host only pulls.

-The images bot-bottle *ships* — the sidecar, the agent base, and the builder

+The one fixed image the Firecracker backend needs at launch — the combined
+**infra** rootfs the infra VM boots (orchestrator control plane + gateway +
+buildah, with the control-plane init as PID 1) — is **prebuilt end-to-end off
+the launch host and published as a versioned, ready-to-boot ext4 artifact**.
+The launch host **downloads the `.ext4` and boots it directly** — no
+`docker build`, no `docker export`, no `mke2fs`, no image tooling at all.
+
+This is possible because the infra rootfs is already **host- and
+bottle-agnostic**: the per-boot bits (authorized_keys, guest IP) arrive on the
+**kernel cmdline**, not in the rootfs (see `build_base_rootfs_dir`). So one
+published ext4 boots on any launch host.
+
+- **Artifact.** `rootfs.ext4` + a `rootfs.ext4.sha256`, published as a Gitea
+  **generic package** (`bot-bottle-infra/<tag>`) — generic packages take
+  arbitrary large binaries (no attachment size cap / file-type allowlist that
+  release attachments impose). The matching `vmlinux` kernel can ship the same
+  way, so the whole VM is fetchable.
+- **Pull.** The launch host `GET`s
+  `…/api/packages/<owner>/generic/bot-bottle-infra/<tag>/rootfs.ext4` (+
+  `.sha256`) for its pinned tag, verifies the checksum, caches it under the
+  tag, and attaches it as the infra VM's root disk. Host prerequisite is an
+  HTTP client — nothing else. Public packages need no auth to pull; a token
+  with `read:package` covers a private instance.
+- **Registry.** The artifact base URL + owner are configurable, defaulting to
+  this deployment's Gitea (`https://gitea.dideric.is` / `didericis`);
+  overridable via env for other deployments / air-gapped mirrors.
+- **Versioning.** A pinned tag bumped when the infra rootfs contents change
+  (bot_bottle's shipped files, the base deps, or the init), so a launch host
+  pulls the artifact matching its code and a content change can't silently
+  boot a stale rootfs. A checksum mismatch fails closed.
+- **Publish.** A `publish` step (CLI subcommand / CI job) runs the full
+  pipeline **on a build/CI host** — `docker build` the three Dockerfiles →
+  export → inject guest boot → `mke2fs` → upload the `.ext4` + `.sha256`.
+  Building still uses Docker, but never on the launch/runner host, which is
+  the one #348 needs unprivileged.
+- **Dev escape hatch.** An explicit opt-in still builds the rootfs locally
+  with Docker (for iterating on the Dockerfiles without a publish
+  round-trip); it is never the default path.
+
+Removes Docker from the launch host entirely for the fixed image, and the
+launch host needs no OCI/rootfs tooling — just fetch + boot. The build-time
+cache / build-time-egress open problems a from-scratch build would face don't
+arise: the launch host never builds, it downloads a finished disk.
