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.
