Summary
Fix the actual first-boot failures of
grace-editor:/home/agentvolume before the non-root bootstrap starts. Fresh ext4 roots were owned by root, preventing the clone.~admin/.ssh/grace-editoron patroclus.jujutsu, not the unrelated JSON utility namedjj.Validation
patroclusStrippedtoplevel (the host's deployed variant).The guest's repository-scoped deploy key is already registered. Copilot still needs the user's OAuth login.
Live test deployment
The live repair is installed via a runtime-only override for the Grace VM's installation unit. A full host switch had unrelated service differences, so I did not activate that full system. The tested derivation is GC-rooted under
/home/admin/.cache/grace-editor-debug/final-installer.After this PR is merged and the host configuration deployed, remove that temporary override so future VM updates use the declarative installation unit:
The runtime override disappears on a host reboot, so deploy this PR before rebooting the host. The persistent guest volume is retained throughout.
The live guest is testing
