DRAFT: DO NOT MERGE - refactor VM agent bootstrap pipeline

[simple-agent-manager]

DO NOT MERGE / DO NOT DEPLOY TO STAGING

This PR is intentionally draft. Per human instruction: do not merge, do not mark ready, and do not deploy this branch to staging or production. No staging deployment was performed.

Summary

• Refactors VM agent bootstrap orchestration into explicit bootstrap-token and PrepareWorkspace plans.
• Adds a bootstrap-local step runner, context, result statuses, fatal/non-fatal semantics, and cleanup stack.
• Decomposes ensureDevcontainerReady into focused helpers for existing-container repair, named config validation, CLI wait, cache handling, override preparation, fallback, post-state repair, and async cache push.
• Preserves bootstrap-token and PrepareWorkspace behavior, including lightweight mode, cache best-effort behavior, named config fatality, fallback recovery, and credential-helper cleanup ownership.

Behavioral Equivalence Audit — PR #1354 (VM Agent Bootstrap Pipeline)

This PR was reviewed for behavioral equivalence as part of the code elegance audit. Below is a summary of changes that go beyond pure restructuring.

Minor Behavior Changes (All Acceptable)

Change	Type	Impact
Richer reporter events (StepStarted, StepCompleted, StepFailed)	Additive	New events emitted at pipeline step boundaries. Purely additive — existing consumers are unaffected, and new consumers get better observability
Cache push moved after ownership repair	Ordering fix	Original pushed cache before repairing ownership, which could cache files with wrong permissions. New ordering is arguably a bugfix
Log message wording changes	Cosmetic	Slightly different log strings (e.g., step names in structured logs). No behavioral impact
Durable Object class exports preserved	Structural	NodeLifecycle DO class correctly re-exported from new module structure

Assessment

The bootstrap pipeline refactor extracts the monolithic provisionWorkspace() into a step-based pipeline pattern. The behavior changes are all minor improvements: better observability events, correct cache ordering, and cosmetic log changes. No regressions detected.

Recommendation: Accept as-is. No fixes needed.
