- Bundles the standalone VM compute driver in the OpenShell snap. - Adds e2fsprogs utilities required to create and modify VM-backed ext4 disks under strict snap confinement. - Connects the kvm interface for both system and user gateway services. - Makes the bundled VM driver the snap default when no compute driver is explicitly selected through the service environment or gateway TOML. - Preserves explicit driver selections from OPENSHELL_COMPUTE_DRIVER, gateway configuration, and the legacy OPENSHELL_DRIVERS variable. - Replaces the snap installer’s Docker prerequisite and readiness checks with non-blocking kvm access checks and remediation guidance. - Allows gateway registration and status operations without kvm access while warning that VM sandbox creation will fail. - Changes the release canary from a system-Docker snap test to a VM-backed snap test on a kvm-capable runner. - Removes obsolete canary coverage for missing Docker and the incompatible Docker snap.
