Exploratory proof-of-concept for replacing the privileged envbox/sysbox wrapper with a KVM-backed microVM booted inside an unprivileged pod that requests /dev/kvm via a device plugin instead of mknod-ing devices under privileged. Includes a design README, a kvm-device-plugin DaemonSet, an unprivileged workspace pod, a Coder template sketch, and NOTES.md mapping the approach to the existing envbox code paths and the make-or-break tests. No code is wired into the envbox build; this is a deployment-surface sketch. Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @f0ssel.
Drop the "envbox v2" / epic framing; this is exploratory only. Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @f0ssel.
Target cross-pod first-boot warmth, not restart persistence. Add a node-local pull-through registry mirror (Lever 1) so new pods pull already -fetched layers from the node, and CSI-mount the inner workspace image (Lever 2) to reuse the node containerd cache. Drop the persistent /var/lib/docker framing; guest docker data dir is now ephemeral. Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @f0ssel.
