feat(firecracker): build agent images in a builder VM, not host docker (Stage 3)

Replace the host `docker build` + `docker export` behind the Firecracker
agent rootfs with an in-VM buildah build. `image_builder.build_agent_rootfs_dir`
boots a throwaway builder VM (the orchestrator image, which carries
buildah) on the NAT'd orchestrator link, sends the Dockerfile over SSH,
`buildah build`s it, smoke-tests the result with `buildah run` (the
image's own PATH, so it catches an npm silent-failure stub), and streams
the rootfs tar back into the content-addressed cache dir — the same base
dir `util.build_rootfs_ext4` already turns into a bootable ext4 with
`mke2fs -d`. No host Docker daemon, no root-equivalent `docker` group;
an untrusted Dockerfile runs in a confined microVM, not on the host.

- new firecracker/image_builder.py (boot → build → smoke → stream).
- launch.py: `_build_agent_image` → `_build_agent_base`, returning the
  base dir from the builder VM. The committed-snapshot (freeze/migrate)
  path still exports via host docker until it too is ported.
- util: `_inject_guest_boot` → public `inject_guest_boot` (shared with
  the builder). unit tests for the cache decision + smoke-test paths.

Verified on a KVM host end-to-end: builds the real claude Dockerfile
(node:22-slim + npm claude-code) in-VM in ~60s, the produced agent VM
boots and `claude --version` returns 2.1.172; the content cache skips
the rebuild on a repeat launch.

 ## Architecture
 
-On the default macOS Apple Container backend, a bottle is an agent container on a host-only internal network plus a sidecar bundle attached to both that internal network and a NAT egress network. The agent gets HTTP(S)_PROXY and CA bundle env vars pointing at the sidecar's internal-network IP, so HTTP/HTTPS traffic flows through the sidecar instead of direct egress. `bottle.git` / git-gate is intentionally deferred on this backend until a safe Apple Container key-delivery path exists.

-On the smolmachines backend, a bottle is an agent micro-VM plus a Docker sidecar bundle for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the sidecars through a per-bottle loopback alias allowed by TSI; smolmachines handles DNS filtering below the guest OS.
+On the Firecracker backend, a bottle is an agent microVM plus a Docker gateway for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the gateway over a per-bottle point-to-point TAP link; a dedicated fail-closed `nftables` table (`inet bot_bottle_fc`) confines the guest to that link, so nothing leaves the box except through the gateway. The TAP pool and nft table are provisioned once (root); per-launch needs no privilege.
 
-On the legacy Docker backend, the same logical bottle is two containers per agent: an `agent` container and a `sidecars` container. They share a per-agent Docker `--internal` network; the agent has no default route off-box.

Run `./cli.py backend setup --backend=firecracker` for the host-appropriate config (a NixOS module, a `sudo` script elsewhere); `./cli.py backend status --backend=firecracker` reports what's present, including whether the pool range collides with an existing route. The pool defaults to `10.243.0.0/16` (an obscure RFC-1918 block that dodges docker/libvirt/LAN and, deliberately, Tailscale's `100.64.0.0/10` CGNAT range); override with `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_IP_BASE` if it clashes on your host.

+BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=firecracker ./cli.py start <agent>
+```
+
+> **NixOS:** enable `virtualisation.docker`, ensure the KVM module is loaded (`boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-intel" ];` or `kvm-amd`), and add your user to the `kvm` and `docker` groups. For the network pool, consume the flake module — `imports = [ inputs.bot-bottle.nixosModules.firecracker-netpool ]; services.bot-bottle-firecracker = { enable = true; owner = "you"; };` — then `nixos-rebuild switch` (imperative nft/TAP rules don't survive a rebuild; channel users can `imports = [ <bot-bottle>/nix/firecracker-netpool.nix ]`). `firecracker` isn't in nixpkgs by default as a user binary — install the release binary (pin the version) and put it on `PATH`.

+Unlike Firecracker, the Docker backend needs no privileged one-time
+host provisioning (no TAP pool / nft table) — networks and the gateway
+bundle are created per-launch. So `setup()` is mostly an install/daemon
+pointer, and `status()` reports whether docker is usable.
+
+This is intentionally minimal; a richer version (daemon config checks,
+gVisor/runsc install guidance, rootless-docker hints) is tracked
+separately. Reached via `DockerBottleBackend.setup` / `.status`, which
+the generic `./cli.py backend {setup,status}` dispatches to.

+"""Consolidated bottle launch sequence for the Firecracker backend (PRD 0070).
+
+Mirrors bot_bottle.backend.docker.consolidated_launch but wired for
+Firecracker's TAP-based network topology instead of a shared Docker bridge.
+
+The per-bottle sidecar bundle (one `docker run` per bottle, published on the
+slot's host-side TAP IP) is replaced by a single persistent gateway that
+every Firecracker VM shares. The gateway runs as a Docker container in the
+dev-harness (a Firecracker VM is stage B per PRD 0070), with its ports
+published on the host (`0.0.0.0:PORT`). VMs reach it at their slot's
+host-side TAP IP because Docker's iptables PREROUTING DNAT redirects
+port 9099/9100/9420 traffic to the gateway container — a path the nft
+isolation table already allows via `ct status dnat accept` in the forward
+chain.
+
+Attribution is by the VM's guest IP, which is unspoofable by construction:
+the /31 point-to-point TAP topology + the `bot_bottle_fc` nft table ensure
+that only the expected VM can source-IP that address.
+
+Sequence:
+  1. ensure the Firecracker-flavoured orchestrator + gateway are up;
+  2. register the bottle by its guest IP (attribution key) → bottle id +
+     identity token;
+  3. provision its git-gate repos/creds into the running gateway;
+  4. fetch the shared gateway CA for the provisioner to install in the rootfs.

+"""Docker-free agent-image builds for the Firecracker backend (PRD 0069 Stage 3).
+
+Instead of `docker build` on the host, an agent's Dockerfile is built inside a
+throwaway Firecracker *builder VM* running buildah (rootless, daemonless): no
+host Docker daemon, no root-equivalent `docker` group, and the untrusted
+Dockerfile executes in a confined microVM rather than on the host.
+
+Flow (on a cache miss, keyed by Dockerfile content):
+  1. boot the builder VM (the orchestrator image, which carries buildah) on
+     the NAT'd orchestrator link (`netpool.orch_slot()`), so the Dockerfile's
+     `FROM` pulls + apt/npm reach the internet;

+  3. `buildah mount` the built image and stream its rootfs tar back to the
+     host, extracting it into the cache dir;
+  4. inject the guest boot bits + mark the cache ready — the same base-dir
+     shape `firecracker.util` turns into a bootable ext4 with `mke2fs -d`.
+
+The builder shares the orchestrator's TAP; once the orchestrator is a

+"""Firecracker network pool: constants, IP math, allocation, and the
+config renderers (shell command + NixOS module) shown to operators.
+
+The Firecracker backend needs a privileged one-time network setup:
+a pool of point-to-point TAP devices (owned by the invoking user, so
+`./cli.py start` never needs root) and a dedicated nftables table that
+isolates every VM. The pool parameters live in exactly one place —
+`netpool.defaults.env`, a plain KEY=VALUE file next to this module —
+and every consumer reads *that*: this module (below), the shell script
+(`scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh`), and the NixOS module
+(`nix/firecracker-netpool.nix`). A `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_*` env var of the
+same name always overrides the file, and the backend's fail-closed
+preflight derives from these accessors, so nothing can drift.
+
+Topology (per slot i):
+  * TAP  ``bbfc{i}``  — no shared bridge, so no docker0 / virbr0 / cni0
+    / br-* collisions.
+  * a /31 host<->guest link: host = base + 2i (the gateway the VM
+    routes through), guest = base + 2i + 1 (the VM's address).
+  * isolation via ``table inet bot_bottle_fc``: a VM reaches only its
+    own gateway (DNAT'd from the host TAP IP) and nothing else.
+
+The default IP block is ``10.243.0.0/16`` — an intentionally obscure
+corner of RFC-1918 private space. RFC-1918 is the range *designated*
+for private links; we pick a high, unusual /16 to steer clear of the
+common occupants (Docker's 172.17-31, libvirt's 192.168.122, k8s
+10.42/10.244, and typical home LANs on 192.168.0/1.x or 10.0.0.x).
+We deliberately avoid ``100.64.0.0/10`` (RFC-6598 CGNAT) because
+Tailscale hands out node addresses from exactly that range. No default
+is collision-proof, so `overlapping_routes()` is the real guard —
+`backend setup`/`status` and the launch preflight call it to catch
+a base that clashes with something already on the host.

-"""Ephemeral local OCI registry for the smolmachines agent-image
-conversion path (PRD 0023 chunk 4c).
-
-`smolvm pack create --image <ref>` only accepts OCI registry refs
-— it can't read the local docker daemon's image cache, an OCI
-layout directory, or a `docker save` tarball. To convert the
-agent's Dockerfile-built image into a `.smolmachine` artifact we
-spin up a short-lived `registry:2.8.3` container alongside a
-`crane` helper container on a private docker network, push via
-`crane push --insecure <tarball> <registry-container>:5000/...`,
-and let smolvm pull from the registry's published host port. The
-network + both containers are torn down after the pack completes.
-
-Why this two-container dance instead of plain `docker push`:
-- Docker Desktop's daemon runs in its own Linux VM, so its
-  `localhost` is not the host's loopback. A registry bound to
-  the host's 127.0.0.1 is unreachable from the daemon side.
-- `host.docker.internal` is reachable from the daemon but isn't
-  in Docker's default insecure-registries CIDRs (only `::1/128`
-  and `127.0.0.0/8` are), so `docker push` to it tries HTTPS,
-  hits a plain-HTTP registry, and dies with
-  `http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client`. Adding
-  `host.docker.internal` to daemon.json works but is a one-time
-  manual step the user has to do in Docker Desktop's UI.
-- Going through a docker network sidesteps the host-vs-daemon
-  loopback mismatch (crane and registry containers see each
-  other on the network) AND the HTTPS preference (crane has an
-  `--insecure` flag that forces plain HTTP).
-
-The registry is also published on a random host port so smolvm
-— a host process — can pull from `localhost:<port>` via Docker's
-port-forward. smolvm's bundled crane auto-falls-back to HTTP for
-localhost addresses, so no insecure-registries config is needed
-on that side either."""

-"""Per-bottle loopback alias allocation + TSI allowlist
-enforcement (PRD 0023, follow-up to PR #74).
-
-After the pivot to host-loopback port-forwards, the smolmachines
-TSI allowlist was `127.0.0.1/32` — which meant the agent VM could
-reach **any** service bound to macOS's loopback, not just the
-bundle's published ports. Real downgrade from the docker
-backend's `--internal` network isolation.
-
-This module narrows the allowlist by allocating each bottle a
-unique loopback alias (`127.0.0.16` .. `127.0.0.31`). The
-bundle's port-forwards bind to that alias, and the alias's /32
-is what TSI allows.
-
-**Smolvm 0.8.0 quirk + workaround.** `smolvm machine create
---from <smolmachine> --net --allow-cidr X/32` silently drops the
-flag — verified empirically that the agent process's allowlist
-ends up `null` in smolvm's persistent state DB (`~/Library/
-Application Support/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`, `vms` table,
-`data` BLOB), and the booted VM reaches all of `127.0.0.0/8`
-regardless of what we passed. Workaround: after machine_create,
-open the SQLite DB and patch the row's `allowed_cidrs` field
-directly. Smolvm reads the DB at machine_start, so the patched
-value takes effect on boot. Tested: enforcement is real — the
-guest's connect to a non-allowlisted IP fails with `Permission
-denied`. Other paths we tried (machine update, stop-edit-
-agent.config.json-restart, --smolfile, --image localhost:N/...)
-were dead ends.
-
-macOS only configures `127.0.0.1` on `lo0` by default; the
-additional aliases require `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias`. We lazily
-sudo-add the missing pool on first use per boot — the aliases
-persist on `lo0` until reboot, so subsequent launches don't
-prompt.
-
-Linux native daemons share the host's network namespace; the
-whole `127.0.0.0/8` is reachable by default and aliases are
-unnecessary. The pool logic detects native-Linux and skips sudo
-entirely; the DB patch is also gated on macOS.
-
-Allocation is coordinated by inspecting running bundle
-containers' published host IPs — each bottle's bundle owns the
-alias appearing in its port bindings. The lowest-numbered free
-alias gets handed to a new bottle."""

-
-smolvm 0.8.0 `machine exec -t` allocates an in-VM PTY but never
-forwards the host terminal's window size (TIOCSWINSZ) to it. The

-
-This module wraps `smolvm machine exec` with a thin parent
-process that:
-
-  1. Spawns the original argv as a child (it gets the inherited
-     TTY, so claude's stdin/stdout/stderr work unchanged).
-  2. On startup + every host SIGWINCH, reads the host terminal
-     size via TIOCGWINSZ on stdin (or stderr if stdin isn't a
-     TTY — tmux respawn-pane gives us a TTY on stdout/stderr)

-     SIGWINCH to the foreground process group on the slave end

-"""Thin subprocess wrapper around the `smolvm` CLI (PRD 0023).
-
-One thin Python function per smolvm subcommand the launch flow
-needs. Two design choices worth flagging:
-
-  - **No daemon, no SDK.** smolvm 0.8.0 ships a `smolvm serve`
-    HTTP API as the long-term-clean integration target. The
-    project's stdlib-first ethos + the lower-overhead CLI calls
-    push v1 to shell out via `subprocess.run`. If a future
-    smolvm release makes `serve` mandatory (or significantly
-    faster), revisit.
-
-  - **Two return shapes.** `SmolvmRunResult` (returncode + stdout
-    + stderr captured) is returned by `machine_exec` because the
-    caller cares about the in-VM command's exit status, and by
-    test helpers that introspect output. The other calls
-    (`machine_start`, `machine_stop`, `pack_create`, etc.) raise
-    `SmolvmError` on non-zero exit — failure to start a VM is
-    fatal to the launch flow, not something callers want to
-    branch on.

-The wrapper is unit-tested with `subprocess.run` mocked; the
-integration smoke test (chunk 2d) exercises against a real
