This commit addresses the OWASP security audit by enforcing strict host key
verification and resolves persistent CI issues.
Security Changes:
- Replaced StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new with yes in pkg/container and devops.
- Removed insecure host key verification from pkg/ansible.
- Implemented synchronous host key discovery using ssh-keyscan during VM boot.
- Updated Boot lifecycle to wait for host key verification.
- Handled missing known_hosts file in pkg/ansible.
- Refactored hardcoded SSH port to DefaultSSHPort constant.
CI and Maintenance:
- Fixed auto-merge.yml by inlining the script and adding repository context
to 'gh' command, resolving the "not a git repository" error in CI.
- Resolved merge conflicts in .github/workflows/auto-merge.yml with dev branch.
- Added pkg/ansible/ssh_test.go for SSH client verification.
- Fixed formatting in pkg/io/local/client.go to pass QA checks.
