Workshop

  • Reworked the workshop boot process in preparation for VM confinement support. The machine ID and SSH host keys now persist across refreshes, and Workshop no longer uses SFTP to change the instance filesystem during launch or refresh, which should resolve a recurring LXD bug with busy ZFS volumes.
  • Added productid and vendorid attributes to the custom-device interface (community contribution @locnnil).
  • Improved onboarding for users with no LXD or an older LXD installed. Error messages are now actionable, and workshopd enters a degraded state that recovers without a daemon restart after LXD is installed, refreshed, or restarted.
  • Added storage pool monitoring that proactively moves the daemon into a degraded state and returns an actionable error message, preventing “out of space” failures.
  • Added and expanded documentation on runtime hooks, plugs, and slots, and updated it to reflect recent changes to the CLI structure, output, and hostnames.
  • Gave every running workshop a *.wp hostname in the workshop info output if there is a conflict. When the preferred hostname is unavailable, the explanatory note is now simplified to hostname-fallback (the workshopd log has more details).

SDKcraft

  • Added productid and vendorid attributes to the custom-device interface.
  • sdkcraft whoami now reports where its token is stored: the keyring, a file, or in memory.
