Each configured host is checked concurrently over the pooled SSH+libvirt
connection: libvirt version and hostname prove the daemon answers, then
the configured pool must exist and be running, with its free space
reported. Dial failures are now tagged with their stage (SSH material,
TCP, SSH handshake, libvirt connect) by a dialError that keeps the
message and unwraps to the cause, so classification is unchanged and the
check can say why a host is unreachable. A pool verdict is decided after
the call returns so it never drops a working connection.

Collapse duplicated logic the review found in PR #5 without changing
behaviour: one releaseFinalizer helper for the four finalizer exits in
reconcileDelete, classify reusing isClassified and provider.Class, the
image URL check and format/firmware values shared from the provider
package, imageSource and the metadata parser embedding their config
structs instead of copying fields, and the SSH loader as a small struct
that keeps only the SSH fields and is seeded by New instead of loading
the key twice. Tracing builds its V(2)-only lists only at V(2).
Tests: drop a duplicate New test, fold near-identical tests into tables
(connection drops, metadata parsing, cached images), add mustSSHAuth,
and use wantClass where classes were checked by hand.

The kvm-ssh Secret is mounted optional, but kvm.New read the key and
known_hosts eagerly and registry.Build aborts the whole provider set on a
constructor error, so a missing or misnamed Secret exited the manager
before any controller started and took the kubernetes and gcp providers
down with it.
lazyAuth loads the material on the first connection and caches it once it
works, so a Secret created after the manager starts heals the affected
proxies on the next reconcile with no restart. A missing file classifies
transient for that reason; a key that does not parse is permanent.
New still checks both files and logs a WARNING: line when they are
unreadable, keeping the startup diagnostic the eager load was there for.

The manager runs with a read-only root filesystem and the seed ISO
writer stages files in a temp directory, so the first in-cluster Create
failed with "creating iso writer: read-only file system". Mount a 64 MiB
emptyDir on /tmp.
That error is classified ErrPermanent by writeSeed, yet hostPool.call
treated every non-libvirt error as a transport failure and dropped the
cached SSH connection, redialling on each retry. Errors that already
carry a provider sentinel are local verdicts, not evidence about the
link; leave the connection alone for those.

A tracingAPI decorator wraps the 17-method libvirt seam and logs one
"libvirt call" line per RPC after it returns: method, the identifiers it
was given, curated results, duration, and on failure the error with its
libvirt code, name and message. At V(2) the same line carries the domain
and volume XML, metadata and addresses; upload bodies are never logged.
The pool applies it in call() when V(1) is enabled and logs connect,
dial-failure and drop events, taking the caller's logger explicitly like
every other helper in the package.
The integration test installs a testr logger at KVM_TEST_LOG_LEVEL
(default 1) so the trace interleaves with t.Log output, which also ends
the "log.SetLogger(...) was never called" warning. Docs gained a Logging
section and the test env var; the KVM provider execution log records run
4 (guest hang at GRUB) that prompted this.

Per-host connection pool over SSH with the libvirt unix socket forwarded
through the session, lazy dial and redial after disconnect, context
cancellation for go-libvirt's context-less RPCs, handshake deadline and
SSH keepalives. Error classification onto the provider taxonomy. Tested
with a fake dialer and an in-process SSH server that forwards unix sockets.
Step 3 of docs/plans/2026-09-04-1404-kvm-provider.md.
