- Fixes#925.
- When the API service enumerates creation dates, the configuration
value from the network helper is used instead of the persistent config
value, so the creation date winds up being the current time. The short
term fix is for the API server to return NetworkState values that
combine the API server's persistent network config with the network
status returned from the helper.
- The longer term refinement could be to define a uniform model for
resources where each resource type has Metadata (id/Identifiable,
creationDate, labels), and type-specific configuration and state/status.

## Motivation and Context
Previously `container image prune` called `ImageStore.prune()` (renamed
to `cleanupOrphanedBlobs()` in cz 0.15.0) which only removed orphaned
content blobs and never actually removed images.
This PR fixes that behavior so `container image prune` removes dangling
images by default, and with `-a` removes all unused images, not just
dangling ones.

This PR implements the `container system df` command to display disk
usage statistics for images, containers, and volumes, along with their
total count, active count, size, and reclaimable space for each resource
type.
Active resources are determined by container mount references and
running state, while reclaimable space is calculated from inactive or
stopped resources.
Example output:
```
~/container ❯ container system df
TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
Images 4 3 4.42 GB 516.5 MB (11%)
Containers 4 2 2.69 GB 1.51 GB (56%)
Local Volumes 3 2 208.5 MB 66.2 MB (32%)
```
I'll have some follow-on PRs that will add `-v/--verbose` flag for
detailed per-resource information, `--filter` flag for filtering output
by resource type, and a `--debug` flag for debug statistics like block
usage, clone counts etc.

This implements statistics gathering across the various components, but
ultimately this is for implementing a new CLI command: `container
stats`. This shows memory usage, cpu usage, network and block i/o and
the number of processes in the container. The new command can inspect
stats for 1-N containers and by default continuously updates in a `top`
like stream.

- Currently, there is no way to specify a custom MAC address for a
container's network interface and the MAC address is auto-generated by
the system.
- Use Cases
- **Network Testing**: Developers testing network-dependent applications
that need predictable MAC addresses
- **License Management**: Running containerized software with MAC-based
license keys
- **Network Automation**: Scripts and tools that expect specific MAC
addresses for configuration
- **Debugging**: Consistent MAC addresses across container restarts for
easier troubleshooting

## Motivation and Context
Adds a `container volume prune` command that removes volumes with no
container references and reports the amount of disk space reclaimed.
This helps users clean up unused volumes and easily reclaim disk space.
Also updates the `volume delete` documentation to clarify and highlight
how the `--all` flag works.

Fixes#772
Today it fails in bootstrap the second go around, and we also have an
error handler that automatically cleans up the container if bootstrap
failed which is even worse. This change short circuits us first in the
cli if the state is running when we get() the container, and also adds
in a clause to bootstrap to just early return if we already have a
client.
This PR fixes several races with the `stop()` and `shutdown()` methods
by moving all state transitions inside a lock.

- Breaking change: removes `.upToNextOption` for labels on volumes as
this is not what is done for containers, and it forces the argument to
precede the options if a label is supplied, which is non-intuitive.

This PR fixes SSH forwarding for exec processes.
Currently, only init processes received the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment
variable when using `--ssh` flag. Exec processes didn't have access to
the SSH agent socket, even though the socket was mounted.
Now we set environment variable for exec processes to match init process
behavior, ensuring SSH forwarding works consistently across processes,
and refactoring SSH forwarding condition into `hostSocketUrl()` helper
function.
Add `--ssh` flag to forward the host's SSH agent socket into the
container, so we can use SSH authentication for things like cloning
private repos, and also updates the socket path every time the container
starts to handle socket path changes like reboot/re-login.
Closes#498
- Closes#150, #394.
- Introduces `AttachmentConfiguration` type so that we can add key-value
options to `--network` in the future.
- Eliminates redundant `ContainersService.Item` type.
- Since we now ensure at ContainersService that hostnames will not
conflict, the network helper IP allocator now simply provides the
existing IP if for an allocation on an existing hostname, which should
handle (in an eventually consistent way) the case where a container
fails to deallocate an IP on shutdown.
- Part of #384.
- Rename to reflect that these are not just client defaults.
- Relocate so callers don't need the heavyweight coupling to
ContainerClient to access the type.
Closes#339.
This change adds named volume support to container, providing volume
management CLI commands - `create, delete, list and inspect`. The
implementation uses EXT4 block-based persistent storage with a new
`VolumesService` actor for thread-safe operations, integrates seamlessly
with the existing container mount system through a new `.volume`
filesystem type, and provides atomic volume operations with XPC-based
API communication. Volumes are stored in isolated directories with
configurable sizes (default 512GB) and include proper cleanup and
container usage tracking for safe deletion.
Example Usage:
```
# Create a volume
container volume create mydata
# Use volume in container
container run -v mydata:/data alpine
# List volumes
container volume list
# Inspect volume details
container volume inspect mydata
# Clean up
container volume rm mydata
```
Closes: #314
This change uses the new `.hosts` config entry
on Containerization's LinuxContainer config to setup a default
/etc/hosts file in the container. Today the two entries are localhost to
127.0.0.1 and the container's IP to its hostname.
0.5.0 introduces a new way to configure the containers and execs. This
is now done all upfront at constructor time in a callback style. I'm
very happy with the config improvements, but because IO can only be
setup at constructor time this makes it so that we need to supply IO at
creation time of the VM or exec, which isn't the end of the world. All
that really changes is `boostrap()` and `createProcess()` now take in IO
instead of slightly later in `process.start()`
* Closes#148.
* Storing the default nameserver in the bundle config means that DNS
won't work if the container stops and then restarts later when the
subnet address has changed.
Define a `UnpackStrategy` function type in the `SnapshotStore` to give
more control over how an image is unpacked.
Previously, we were creating a 512 GB sparse block file for the initial
file system of a container, which is overkill.
With this change, the vminit image is unpacked to a smaller block file,
while container images are unpacked to the 512 GB block
Follows the same pattern as

See discussion below for example. For multiple network interfaces in a
single container we'll want to integrate against a containerization that
includes apple/containerization#156.
The change bumps the containerization dependency to 0.2.0 and addresses
the breaking API changes.
```console

OPTIONS:
--version Show the version.
-h, --help Show help information.

This PR resolves a race condition when removing a container immediately
after stopping it, caused by the `stop` command returning before the
container fully transitions to the stopped state (#130).
**Changes:**
- Enhanced `TestCLIRmRace.swift` with robust test logic and helper
methods (`containerExists`, `safeRemove`).
- Improved error handling to distinguish race conditions from successful
removals.
- Added exponential backoff retry logic for cleanup operations.
- Updated `CLITest.swift` with missing `doRemove` method.
- Fixed `BuilderStart.swift` to handle `.stopping` case.
- Improved error messages with container ID for better debugging.
**Testing:**
- ✅ All tests pass (`make test`, `make integration`).
- ✅ Verified on macOS 26.
- ✅ Race condition test validates success and failure scenarios.
- ✅ Code formatted (`make fmt`).
Hopefully, this will pass the integration tests on GitHub.

Implements a way for the CLI to wait until the IO streams from the
SandboxService have been drained before closing them.
Follows the same pattern as
https://github.com/apple/containerization/pull/110
This change also performs some cleanup in the
`SandboxService.startProcess` method - splitting the code paths to
handle the init process and an exec'd process into two different private
methods to make easier reading
