Snider 6c4050486b refactor(container): migrate module path to dappco.re/go/core/container

Update module path from forge.lthn.ai/core/go-container to
dappco.re/go/core/container. Migrate import paths for go-io (v0.2.0),
go-log (v0.1.0), and go-i18n (v0.2.0) to their new dappco.re
equivalents. cli and config remain at forge.lthn.ai (not yet migrated).

go-container

Module: dappco.re/go/core/container

Container runtime for managing LinuxKit VMs as lightweight containers. Supports running LinuxKit images (ISO, qcow2, vmdk, raw) via QEMU or Hyperkit hypervisors. Includes a dev environment system for Claude Code agents and development workflows.

Architecture

File/Dir	Purpose
`container.go`	`Container`, `Manager` interface, `Status`, `RunOptions`, `ImageFormat` types
`hypervisor.go`	`Hypervisor` interface, `QemuHypervisor`, `HyperkitHypervisor`, `DetectHypervisor()`
`linuxkit.go`	LinuxKit image building
`state.go`	Container state persistence
`templates.go`	LinuxKit YAML template management
`devenv/`	Development environment: Claude agent, config, Docker, images, shell, SSH, serve, test
`sources/`	Image sources: CDN, GitHub, generic source interface
`cmd/vm/`	CLI commands: container, templates, VM management

Key Types

Container Runtime

Container — Running instance: ID (8 hex chars), Name, Image, Status, PID, StartedAt, Ports, Memory, CPUs
Manager interface — Run(), Stop(), List(), Logs(), Exec()
RunOptions — Name, Detach, Memory (MB), CPUs, Ports, Volumes, SSHPort, SSHKey
Status — StatusRunning, StatusStopped, StatusError
ImageFormat — FormatISO, FormatQCOW2, FormatVMDK, FormatRaw, FormatUnknown

Hypervisors

Hypervisor interface — Name(), Available(), BuildCommand()
QemuHypervisor — QEMU with KVM (Linux) or HVF (macOS) acceleration, virtio networking, 9p volume shares
HyperkitHypervisor — macOS-only Hyperkit with ACPI, virtio-blk, slirp networking
HypervisorOptions — Memory, CPUs, LogFile, SSHPort, Ports, Volumes, Detach
DetectHypervisor() — Auto-selects best available (prefers Hyperkit on macOS, falls back to QEMU)
DetectImageFormat() — Determines format from file extension

Dev Environment (`devenv/`)

Claude agent configuration and management
Docker container operations
Image management (pull, build, cache)
Shell access to containers
SSH utilities for container access
Serve — development server management
Test — container-based test execution

Image Sources (`sources/`)

Source interface for fetching LinuxKit images
CDN source — Download from CDN
GitHub source — Download from GitHub releases

Usage

import "dappco.re/go/core/container"

// Auto-detect hypervisor
hv, _ := container.DetectHypervisor()

// Detect image format
format := container.DetectImageFormat("vm.qcow2") // FormatQCOW2

// Generate container ID
id, _ := container.GenerateID() // e.g. "a1b2c3d4"

Dependencies

No core ecosystem dependencies in root package
devenv/ imports SSH and Docker tooling
