reconcileDelete asked Get first and dropped the finalizer only on
not-found, so a permanent Get retried forever: a KVM host removed from
the config, or a providerID the provider cannot resolve, left the Proxy
in Terminating with no way out. It now tries Delete anyway, which is
idempotent and can still finish where Get cannot converge, and releases
the object when that succeeds.
crawl.example.com/skip-cleanup abandons the instance for the cases that
stay stuck, such as revoked credentials. It is checked before the
provider lookup, so it also frees a Proxy whose provider is gone from
the config.
In the KVM provider, Delete over an unconfigured host is now a no-op
success, mirroring removeVolumes over a missing pool. Get keeps failing
permanently there on purpose: the live path reads not-found as "rebuild
it", so a typo in hosts must not look like a missing VM.

In the kind cluster two KVM Proxies with real cloud-configs booted fine
but never left Provisioning: the guest agent was not installed, so the
provider could not learn the IP. cloud-init merges vendor-data under
user-data with its default mergers, which keep the user-data's value
for any key both define and never append lists, so a cloud-config with
its own `packages:` silently dropped the vendor-data's packages and
runcmd. The integration test passed only because its user-data was
empty.
withGuestAgent now appends qemu-guest-agent to `packages` and the
enable command to `runcmd` of the Proxy's own cloud-config (skipping
entries already present) and re-renders it. Vendor-data is no longer
defaulted; `vendorData` is plain extra data. User-data that is not a
cloud-config document (script, #include, MIME) still gets the bootstrap
as vendor-data. A cloud-config that is not a YAML mapping, or whose
packages/runcmd is not a list, fails the Proxy as ErrPermanent.
Validated in-cluster: both Proxies Ready and healthy in two minutes, 204
through squid from the LAN. Docs, sample comment, CHANGELOG and the
plan execution log (Run 7) updated.

docs/kvm-provider.md walks through key generation, ssh-copy-id,
ssh-keyscan under the address the operator dials, and the Secret from
the private key plus ~/.ssh/kvm_known_hosts. make kvm-ssh-secret runs
the same as an apply with KVM_SSH_KEY / KVM_KNOWN_HOSTS overrides and
refuses a .pub, the classic mistake. README mirrors the short form.

The known-gaps entry, decision log, sample comment and builder comment
blamed the host; the cause is trixie's GRUB config ("terminal_output
gfxterm serial" with a serial console and no video device), reported
and reproduced upstream and still open. UEFI remains the default for the
reason recorded; bookworm images are noted as unaffected.

Run 5 on the real host bisected the guest hang: the Debian 13 image
hangs after GRUB under SeaBIOS with or without our seed and with either
CPU model, and boots under OVMF. The image's legacy boot chain is the
problem, not the provider.
images.<key>.firmware is "uefi" (default) or "bios". The domain XML
emits <os firmware="efi"> with secure boot off, so libvirt selects the
OVMF binary and manages the NVRAM file, which the existing nvram undefine
flag removes. Direct-URL images default to UEFI too. OVMF joins the
hypervisor prerequisites; sample, config table, known gaps, decision log
and the execution log record the finding.

The first live run showed the trace working but noisy: testr printed
ts/level/msg and the per-run constants on every line, the error text
appeared twice, host appeared twice on image-cache lines, and the Go
method name was less useful than the libvirt function it maps to.
The tracer now logs rpc=virDomainLookupByName (go-libvirt's names are the
public API names without the vir prefix), error plus libvirtError (code
name) and libvirtCode, and image.go stops re-adding host. The integration
test replaces testr with a compact logr sink: time, logger name, the rpc
as headline, then fields, with provider/host/name omitted since the first
line of the run states them. Docs and execution log updated.

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.

Registers "kvm" in the provider builtins, mounts an optional kvm-ssh
Secret at /etc/proxy-operator/kvm, adds a kvm-home providers-config
sample and a proxy_kvm.yaml Proxy sample, documents the provider in
docs/kvm-provider.md (prerequisites, config reference, image cache and
its do-not-replace-in-use rule, known gaps), and updates the README
and architecture provider sections and decision log.
