OpenAI Coding Assistant 35ca88d517 feat: add project-composable DeepSeek Harness microVMs
Share the live project cwd, DSH home and skills read-write while running guest root behind rootless QEMU and Bubblewrap. Reuse project toolchains, expose configurable SSH-forwarded web access, and launch the latest official DSH.

Include the project template, operating guide, offline boot and mount tests, and shell checks.

Project + DeepSeek Harness microVM

project.nix is the shared toolchain for nix develop and the guest. flake.nix sets RAM, vCPUs and networking. Run from the project directory:

nix run .#agent               # boots with cwd mounted read-write at its original path
# Another terminal in the same directory:
nix run .#agent -- url        # private browser login URL
nix run .#agent -- ssh        # root shell, starting in the same project cwd
nix run .#agent -- stop

$DSH_HOME (default ~/.dsh) and ${DSH_AGENTS_HOME:-~/.agents}/skills are also mounted read-write. No other home directories or host sockets are shared. The first run creates missing DSH/skills directories. Existing DSH home must be private (chmod 700 ~/.dsh). Credentials, settings, profiles and skills are live shared files, not copied into the Nix store. Select the project's original absolute path in the DSH UI; /workspace is also an alias.

DSH resolves @deepseek-ai/dsh@latest inside the VM on startup. Nix packages follow the rolling Nixpkgs input: nix flake update, then restart the VM.

See /etc/nix/AGENT-VM.md for the full guide and security boundaries. The reusable input lives at /etc/nix/agent-vm; replace the local input with your Git remote when sharing this project. Keep backups: the agent can modify/delete the mounted project and its shared DSH configuration/credentials/skills.
