Raj b2994ac369 Add container machine for managing persistent Linux VMs (#1662)
## Type of Change
- [ ] Bug fix
- [x] New feature  
- [ ] Breaking change
- [ ] Documentation update

## Motivation and Context
`container` runs each workload in an ephemeral VM, so there's no
built-in way to keep a persistent Linux environment you can log into and
work in. `container machine` adds one.

A container machine is a lightweight, persistent, and integrated Linux
environments that feel like an extension of your Mac, created from
standard OCI images with a familiar UX. The login user matches your host
account with passwordless `sudo`, your home directory is mounted inside
the VM, and each machine keeps its filesystem and runs the image's own
init system (such as`systemd` or `openrc`).

```bash
container machine create alpine:3.22 --name my-machine
container machine run -n my-machine # interactive shell
container machine set -n my-machine cpus=4 memory=8G
```

Subcommands: `create`, `run`, `list` (`ls`), `inspect`, `set`,
`set-default`, `logs`, `stop`, `delete` (`rm`); `m` aliases `machine`.
Docs added to `docs/command-reference.md` (Machine Management) and
`docs/how-to.md` ("Use container machines").

J Logan 59e015acd1 Use name instead of id in NetworkConfiguration. (#1648)
- Closes #1647.
- `id` will become a system assigned (Docker-like) identifier
  for the managed resource, and `configuration.name` is the
  user-assigned name.

Raj 7358102c68 Fix system df to count content blobs and deduplicate shared storage (#1555)
- Closes #1526 and #1527.

## Type of Change
- [x] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature  
- [ ] Breaking change
- [ ] Documentation update

## Motivation and Context
This PR fixes `system df` to report actual on-disk allocated bytes
(content blobs + snapshots) instead of summing per-image snapshot sizes.
Orphaned blobs are now included as reclaimable, and storage shared
across tags is no longer double counted. Also consolidates three
identical `calculateDirectorySize` implementations into a shared
`FileManager.allocatedSize(of:)` extension.

J Logan 37595a734c Remove XPC compatibility code, simplify network model. (#1616)
- Refactor network model types: replace `NetworkState` enum and
phase-based NetworkStatus with a flat `NetworkStatus` struct.
- Simplify API server ↔ plugin protocol: plugin `status()` returns
runtime status only, API server owns configuration.
- `NetworksService` `list()`/`create()` now return `NetworkResource`
directly.
- Remove lifecycle phase checks and state machine guards throughout CLI
and API server.
- `variant` is plugin-specific, it's not a required property. This PR
replaces `NetworkPluginInfo` with a `plugin` name property on
`NetworkConfiguration` and an `options` list similar to that for
volumes.
- Moved `variant` to the option list.

J Logan c5a8d7a802 Reorganize Swift package targets for network plugin. (#1615)
- Part of #1404.
- Updates containerization to 0.33.2.
- Reorganizes network plugin targets into:
  - `ContainerNetworkClient` - network plugin client and default types
- `ContainerNetworkServer` - separate protocols for `Network` which
manages the underlying virtual network, `NetworkService`, which takes a
network and implements the API, and an actor `NetworkHarness` that
marshals between the API and the XPC protocol. The service-harness
separation will help us ensure XPC protocol compatibility in both
directions as we evolve the plugin APIs.
- Removes `disableAllocator()` which is no longer used since #1545
switched over to using XPC connections between runtime and network
plugin instances to track whether a network has attached containers.

J Logan ca3a4d6670 Use FilePath for app, install, and log roots. (#1558)
- Closes #1557.
- Replaces `executableURL` utility function for getting app executable
path with `executablePath`.
- Adds `FilePath.resolvingSymlinks()` extension.
- Also converts for FilePath for types in `ContainerVersion` target.

AJ Emory afeceb05d4 Reorganize runtime targets for scalable plugin support (#1577)
## Type of Change
- [x] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature  
- [ ] Breaking change
- [ ] Documentation update

## Motivation and Context
Closes #1569

Separates generic runtime infrastructure from Linux-specific
implementation into distinct SPM targets:

- ContainerRuntimeClient — generic runtime plugin client API
- ContainerRuntimeLinuxClient — Linux-specific types
- ContainerRuntimeLinuxServer — Linux runtime service + interface
strategy implementations

Renames types to reflect the runtime/sandbox distinction:
- SandboxClient → RuntimeClient
- SandboxService → RuntimeService
- SandboxRoutes → RuntimeRoutes
- SandboxKeys → RuntimeKeys

Breaking for external consumers:
- ContainerSandboxService removed, replaced by ContainerRuntimeClient +
ContainerRuntimeLinuxServer
- Public types renamed

Simone Panico 9895ba8d08 Add container copy/cp command for host-container file transfer (#1190)
## Type of Change
- [ ] Bug fix
- [x] New feature  
- [ ] Breaking change
- [x] Documentation update

## Motivation and Context
Adds the `container copy` (aliased as `cp`) command to copy files
between a running container and the local filesystem.

I saw [#1023](https://github.com/apple/container/pull/1023) and the
feedback from @dcantah — the previous attempt relied on tar being
installed inside the container.
This implementation takes the recommended approach:
file transfers go through the guest agent via the existing
`copyIn`/`copyOut` methods on the core `Containerization`, with no
dependency on container tooling.

AJ Emory 521df518e2 Add variant Support (#1548)
- This change adds two types to support opaque runtime
  data passing through the APIServer:
  - RuntimeConfiguration `data`
  - RuntimeLinuxData type
- LinuxRuntimeData defines runtime specific information.
  With this change, it will support `variant` only. The
  optional RuntimeConfiguration `data` field encodes
  runtime specific data to pass through the APIServer.
  It is decoded as needed by the runtime.
- The idea is to eventually move all runtime specific data
  into the `data` field so that the APIServer is only aware
  of generic container information.

Noah Thornton a967399d48 Add support for layered and plugin configurations (#1543)
- This adds support for reading configurations from
  a three layer hierarchy:
  1. User provided TOML
  2. Install root TOML
  3. Code defaults
- We add some code to support plugin configurations
  via the ConfigurationLoader. Each plugin can provide
  a struct with an accompanying id that gets used to
  parse the scoped section of the TOML.

J Logan c56a659d33 Use allocate with session to automatically clean up IPs. (#1544)
- Part of #1318.
- Part of #1378.
- Removes network plugin `deallocate()`, and allocate takes an
`XPCServerSession` that registers an `onDisconnect` handler that
performs deallocation.
- ContainerService now tracks `networkSessions` for allocations.

J Logan 1794afc449 Adds XPC sessions with disconnect handlers. (#1524)
- Part of #1318.
- Part of #1378.
- `RouteHandler` now accepts an additional `XPCServerSession` which
include a disconnect handler.
- `XPCServer` configures a session for each client connection and passes
it to every route handler.
- `XPCServer.route(fn:)` can be used to wrap existing route handlers
that don't care about sessions.
- `XPCClient` adds functions to support client-side session handling.
- Update all existing routes.

Noah Thornton 0328f5c4c5 Centralize utilities for configuration loading and path parsing (#1448)

Noah Thornton e3c49803a0 Move to TOML configuration for defaults (#1425)
- Discussion topic #1336.
- This change migrates away from using `UserDefaults`,
  instead providing a TOML configuration mechanism for
  user configurable settings. All existing system property
  settings keys are supported in the new configuration
  file. However, users will have to migrate any settings
  they have configured in the `UserDefaults` into TOML
  for these settings to take effect.
- Breaking changes:
  * `container system property get` is removed in favor of
    users directly utilizing `container system property list --format toml | jq<>`.
  * `container system property set` is removed since the TOML
    configuration is effectively immutable during the lifetime of the
    `container` daemon. Uses can edit the TOML they have in their home
    directory, however no changes will take effect until the daemon is
    restarted via `container system stop && container system start`
* `container system property list --format table` is removed as
    generating tabular format is non-trivial and the new TOML format is
    intended to be human readable

Noah Thornton 9be1020679 Move to TOML configuration for plugin configurations (#1422)
This change migrates plugin config format away from using JSON to use
TOML.
- Addresses the plugin portion of discussion #1336

## Type of Change
- [ ] Bug fix

## Motivation and Context
Context within https://github.com/apple/container/discussions/1336

> We're looking to improve the user experience and overall functionality
of setting defaults for container to better enable future use cases.
> 
> Today container uses macOS's
[UserDefaults](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/userdefaults)
to configure settings needed at runtime. As mentioned in
https://github.com/apple/container/issues/608, UserDefaults may be
idiomatic for macOS, but they apply globally to all sessions and do not
handle representing complex, hierarchical data well. Additionally, we
currently have two ways of setting these defaults, either directly with
macOS's defaults command or through container system property.
> 
> https://github.com/apple/container/issues/608 proposes moving to use
environment variables in place of UserDefaults. However, we do not
believe this is sufficient. Environment variables are not in a
consistent location, are not sourced from data, and also do not handle
representing complex, hierarchical data well.

As part of this migration to TOML for user settings we want to also move
plugin settings to use TOML so that we can have a singular file format
for `container` configurations.
