claude_bottle/backend/smolmachines/smolvm.py — one thin Python
function per smolvm CLI subcommand the launch flow needs:
- pack_create(image, output) → smolvm pack create
- machine_create(name, from_path,
smolfile) → smolvm machine create
- machine_start(name) → smolvm machine start
- machine_stop(name) → smolvm machine stop
- machine_delete(name) → smolvm machine delete -f
- machine_exec(name, argv, env,
workdir, timeout) → smolvm machine exec
- machine_cp(src, dst) → smolvm machine cp
- is_available() → shutil.which check
The wrapper hides the CLI's inconsistent name-flag style
(positional NAME on create/delete, --name on start/stop/exec/
status) behind a uniform `name=` kwarg.
Two return shapes:
- SmolvmRunResult (returncode + stdout + stderr) from
machine_exec, because callers care about the in-VM
command's exit code.
- Raises SmolvmError on non-zero for all other commands;
failure to create/start/stop a VM is fatal to the launch
flow, not branched on.
Tests:
- 15 unit cases mocking subprocess.run, covering argv shape
per subcommand (the --name vs positional inconsistency
locked down), SmolvmError on non-zero for non-exec paths,
SmolvmRunResult passthrough on exec, empty-path cp no-op.
- 2 integration cases against the real smolvm binary
(gated on Darwin + smolvm on PATH + not GITEA_ACTIONS):
smolvm --help responds, machine ls --json parses as a
list (the contract chunk 4's list_active will consume).
531 unit tests passing. Real-smolvm smoke green locally.
Bundle bringup + launch wiring + the localhost-reach /
egress-port-bypass probes land in chunks 2c + 2d.
