Adopts the firecracker infra-VM pattern for macOS: the orchestrator control
plane and the gateway data plane now run in a SINGLE Apple container instead of
two. Apple Containers are lightweight VMs with separate kernels, so the prior
two-container design had both guests writing one bot-bottle.db over virtiofs,
where fcntl locks are not coherent across kernels — concurrent writes (the
orchestrator's registry vs the gateway supervise daemon's queue) could corrupt
it. One container = one kernel = coherent locking.
The DB moves onto a container-only Apple volume (bot-bottle-mac-db), never
bind-mounted from the host, so no host process opens the live file either. The
host CLI already reaches registry + supervise state over the control-plane HTTP
surface (cli/supervise.py uses OrchestratorClient), exactly as firecracker's
VM-only DB requires.
Two simplifications fall out of the single container:
- No DNS dance: the control plane and gateway daemons reach each other over
127.0.0.1, so the orchestrator-before-gateway ordering (a workaround for
Apple having no container DNS) is gone, along with the moved-IP recreate
logic it needed.
- Net -243 lines.
Mechanics: the infra container runs from the gateway image with the
control-plane source bind-mounted read-only (like the docker orchestrator, so a
code change needs no rebuild) and a small sh -c init that starts both processes
(mirrors firecracker's _infra_init). Also implements the macOS backend's
ensure_orchestrator() and adds it to discover_orchestrator_url, so operator
tools (supervise) can bring up / find the control plane on demand — previously
the macOS backend died with "no orchestrator control plane".
Verified end-to-end on real Apple Container 1.0.0: the single infra container
comes up healthy (one address for control plane + gateway), both processes run,
the DB is written on the container-only volume, host-side supervise works over
HTTP, and a registered agent gets 200 for an allowed host / 403 for a denied
one. 1824 unit tests pass with `container` absent (CI parity), pyright clean,
pylint 9.89.

Add an abstract teardown() classmethod to BottleBackend — the inverse of
setup(), surfaced as `./cli.py backend teardown [--backend=NAME]`
(uninstall). Symmetric with setup: it prints the privileged commands /
declarative config change to remove the host prerequisites.
- firecracker: NixOS-aware — disable the flake module (or drop the
import) and rebuild, or `firecracker-netpool.sh down` imperatively.
- docker / macos-container: nothing to undo (no privileged host state);
print a short note.
Not called by the launch path or the test suite. Extends test_cli_backend
for the new dispatch.

Add abstract `setup()`/`status()` classmethods to BottleBackend (same
per-host, no-instance shape as is_available) so host provisioning is
part of the backend contract, not a per-backend command. Replace the
`./cli.py firecracker {setup,status}` command with a generic
`./cli.py backend {setup,status} [--backend=NAME]` that resolves a
backend (flag / $BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND / host default) and dispatches —
swapping backends is just a different --backend.
Implementations:
- firecracker: moved out of cli/ into backend/firecracker/setup.py
(network pool module/script + range-overlap check), unchanged output.
- docker: new backend/docker/setup.py — reports docker on PATH, daemon
reachability, and gVisor runsc; setup notes no privileged pool is
needed. Minimal placeholder; richer version tracked in #345.
- macos-container: new setup.py — container CLI + system-service checks.
Also retarget the launch-preflight / isolation-probe pointers to the new
command. New test_cli_backend covers dispatch + docker setup/status.

BottleSpec.manifest was ManifestIndex | Manifest — a union encoding
two lifecycle stages in one field. The union was unjustifiable:
it forced a type-narrowing workaround (loaded_manifest property)
on every consumer.
Clean split:
- BottleSpec.manifest: ManifestIndex (always; CLI-supplied intent)
- BottlePlan.manifest: Manifest (always; loaded by _validate())
_validate() returns the loaded Manifest directly. prepare() passes
it to _resolve_plan(), which stores it on the plan. All provisioner
code now reads plan.manifest.agent / plan.manifest.bottle — no
union, no asserts, no type: ignore.
