Subject: [PATCH 02/11] Extract engine resolution into a shared function
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- refactor(cmd): extract resolveEngine() from three call sites — init, build, and run now share one priority chain (CLI flag > TOML [cell].engine > "docker" default) instead of each reimplementing it
- test(cmd): add resolveEngine unit tests covering flag, TOML fallback, macOS alias, and default

Subject: [PATCH 03/11] Delegate WinPE build steps to go-winkit winpe.Build()
MIME-Version: 1.0

- refactor(build): replace ~90 lines of inline stage/inject/master with one winpe.Build() call — WinPE ISO creation is now the library's responsibility
- chore(deps): point go-winkit at local working copy (replace directive) — drop before merging

Subject: [PATCH 04/11] [CELL-426] Resolve nixhome path in integration tests
 instead of hardcoding ../nixhome
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- test(helpers): add nixhomeDir() honoring DEVCELL_NIXHOME > DEVCELL_NIXHOME_PATH > ../nixhome — tests keep finding nixhome once it moves to devcell-sh/community-home
- test(image,mise,modules): replace hardcoded ../nixhome with nixhomeDir() at every call site — tests survive the external repo split without editing each file again

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] Catch automation tells in stealth checks that live
 BrowserScan/CreepJS runs slipped through
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- test(stealth): require navigator.webdriver as native boolean false, not deleted — matches BrowserScan's expectation that the property exists
- test(stealth): flag any override of Navigator.prototype.webdriver — forces reliance on AutomationControlled flag, cutting lie surface
- test(stealth): fail when window.chrome.runtime is fabricated on ordinary pages — closes CreepJS hasBadChromeRuntime signal
- test(stealth): require window.chrome.app present alongside the runtime check — keeps real Chrome's baseline shape intact
- test(stealth): reject a SwiftShader string in the spoofed WebGL renderer — closes the top headless/datacenter GPU tell
- test(stealth): require a named Function.prototype.toString wrapper with stack scrubbing — closes CreepJS hasToStringProxy signal
- test(stealth): resolve nixhome path via nixhomeDir() helper instead of a hardcoded relative path — keeps test working after nixhome relocation

Subject: [PATCH 06/11] Fix nixhome self-reference incident that corrupted
 .devcell/ mid-copy
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- fix(scaffold): reject nixhome source nested in its own build dir — stops DEVCELL_NIXHOME self-reference from corrupting .devcell/
- fix(scaffold): CopyDir skips a destination nested inside its source — prevents silent partial-copy corruption if the upfront guard is bypassed
- test(scaffold): add regression tests for self-referential nixhome source and nested-destination CopyDir calls

Subject: [PATCH 07/11] [CELL-491] Let users target a guest OS with --os
 instead of naming an engine
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- feat(engine): add --os linux/macos/windows, mapped to its default engine — targets a platform without knowing engine names
- feat(engine): reject incompatible --os/--engine pairs (e.g. windows+tart) — catches misconfigured builds before they run
- feat(cli): keep --macos as a working alias for --os=macos — existing scripts and muscle memory keep working
- feat(cfg): add [cell].os TOML fallback — lets teams pin an OS default in project config instead of passing --os every time
- refactor(engine): resolveEngine now returns an error and takes os args — no user-facing impact
- test(engine): cover os precedence, macos alias, and invalid/incompatible combinations — locks in the new resolution order
- docs(nix): expose [cell].os in home-manager module options — keeps generated config docs in sync with the new setting

Subject: [PATCH 09/11] [CELL-491] Add OCI-backed VM disk cache with a
 disk-store CLI and QEMU build fast path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- feat(cmd): add `cell disk-store push/pull/resolve` wrapping go-diskoci — lets operators seed or inspect cached disk images outside a build
- feat(cmd): probe/pull a cached base-profile disk in runBuildQemu — skips the full winkit provisioning pipeline entirely on a cache hit, cutting build time
- feat(cmd): push ssh-able and base-profile disks after a successful build — populates the cache so later builds can hit it
- feat(cmd): support `--no-cache` to bypass the pull probe only — pushes still happen, so cache stays warm even when forcing a fresh build
- feat(cmd): support DEVCELL_DISK_CACHE_REGISTRY/REF and DISKOCI_USERNAME/PASSWORD env vars — lets registry and auth be overridden per environment
- test(cmd): cover disk-cache ref/fingerprint derivation and push/pull round-trip against an in-process registry
- build(go.mod): drop the local go-winkit replace directive — build now resolves the published module instead of a developer-machine path

Subject: [PATCH 10/11] CELL-491: Fix go.mod/go.sum missing entry for
 go-diskoci, unblocking clean-module-cache builds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- build(deps): declare github.com/devcell-sh/go-diskoci v0.1.0 in go.mod/go.sum — lets CI's Deploy Site build resolve the import from a clean checkout instead of failing go mod tidy
- build(deps): bump go-containerregistry, docker/cli, klauspost/compress, x/mod, x/net, x/tools as incidental go mod tidy fallout — picks up upstream point-release fixes
- build(nix): refresh flake.nix vendorHash to match the updated go.sum — keeps `nix build` from failing on a hash mismatch

Subject: [PATCH 11/11] [CELL-447] Add test coverage for shipped flake, MCP,
 and no-ports behavior
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- test(cfg): cover FlakeEnabled() env>toml>false precedence — no user-facing impact
- test(cfg): cover [mcp].enabled merge/dedup and TOML load — no user-facing impact
- test(runner): rename SkipFlake tests to TrustFlake, add NoPorts coverage — no user-facing impact
