Integration tests now select their backend from BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND and
skip on the capability that backend actually needs, instead of gating
every backend on unrelated Docker availability.
Task 1 — backend-agnostic guards (tests/_backend.py):
- Capability probes: docker_capability() (reachable daemon) and
firecracker_capability() (accessible /dev/kvm + firecracker on PATH,
Docker-independent). backend_capability()/selected_backend() resolve
the target from BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND (default docker).
- skip_unless_selected_backend_available() for backend-agnostic tests
(test_sandbox_escape) — runs through whichever backend is selected and
checks that backend's real capability.
- skip_unless_backend("docker") for Docker-implementation tests
(DockerBroker, DockerGateway, backend.docker.*) — they no-op under a
non-Docker run rather than testing internals that run doesn't target.
- Retires tests/_docker.py; the KVM job no longer needs SKIP_DOCKER_TESTS
to steer Docker-only classes.
Task 2 — explicit per-backend skip visibility:
- tests/backend_preflight.py prints a clear PASS/FAIL capability line and
exits non-zero when the selected backend is missing.
- Both integration jobs run it as a preflight, so absent infrastructure
is surfaced at the job level instead of hidden among unittest.skip
lines. The docker job replaces its soft "Show environment" step; the
firecracker job keeps its richer backend-status check.
Docs (tests/README.md, docs/ci.md) updated; unit coverage for the probes,
guards, and preflight in test_backend_skip_guards.py.
Closes#414

Completes the de-sidecar cleanup: no live code, test, current doc,
script, or nix file mentions or is named "sidecar" any more. Only the
dated PRD/research docs keep the term as historical record (agreed on
the #385 thread).
- Rename `sidecar_init.py`→`gateway_init.py` was done earlier; this pass
sweeps the remaining descriptive uses: the egress / git-gate / supervise
components are the gateway's *daemons*, the shared container is the
*gateway*, the old per-bottle container was the *companion container*.
- Rename `tests/integration/test_sidecar_bundle_image.py`→`test_gateway_image.py`
and its class; update `docs/ci.md` + `tests/README.md` for the renamed/
removed integration tests.
- `SIDECAR_PORTS` shell var in `scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh`→`GATEWAY_PORTS`.
Full unit suite green (bar the pre-existing `/bin/sleep`-missing env
errors in test_gateway_init); docker integration — gateway singleton,
broker, real two-bottle multitenant isolation, and the gateway-image
build — all pass.

Pipelock was removed in PR #193. Update the five remaining places
where current documentation (README, examples/bottles/claude.md,
tests/README.md, docs/ci.md, sidecar_bundle.py comment) still
described the old pipelock + cred-proxy topology.
