Use tmux for test runner — detachable SSH sessions

Tests now run inside a tmux session so you can disconnect and
reconnect without interrupting multi-hour test runs.

Changes:
- create-vm.sh: cloud-init no longer auto-runs tests, just provisions
  packages and clones the repo. Installs a `darkforge-test` command
  in /usr/local/bin that wraps run-in-vm.sh in tmux.
- run-in-vm.sh: detects when called as `darkforge-test` and re-execs
  inside a tmux session named "darkforge". --tmux flag for internal use.
- README updated with tmux workflow (detach/reattach instructions).

Workflow:
  ssh darkforge@<ip>
  darkforge-test --quick    # starts in tmux
  Ctrl+B D                  # detach, go do other things
  tmux attach -t darkforge  # come back later

### 1. Create the test VM (run on Proxmox host) ### 1. Create the test VM (run on Proxmox host)
```bash ```bash
# Copy scripts to Proxmox host # Copy the script to Proxmox and run it
scp tests/proxmox/create-vm.sh root@proxmox:/root/ scp tests/proxmox/create-vm.sh root@your-proxmox:/root/
scp tests/proxmox/run-in-vm.sh root@proxmox:/root/ ssh root@your-proxmox bash /root/create-vm.sh
# Create the VM
ssh root@proxmox bash /root/create-vm.sh
``` ```
### 2. Run the tests (automated via cloud-init or manual SSH) This creates the VM and cloud-init installs all packages + clones the repo. Wait ~5 minutes for provisioning to complete.
### 2. SSH in and run tests
```bash ```bash
# Option A: wait for cloud-init to finish (fully automated) # Get the VM IP from Proxmox
# The VM runs tests automatically on first boot. ssh root@your-proxmox "qm guest cmd 900 network-get-interfaces" | grep ip-address
# Option B: SSH in and run manually # SSH into the VM
ssh darkforge@<vm-ip> bash /home/darkforge/run-in-vm.sh ssh darkforge@<VM_IP> # password: darkforge
``` ```
Then start the tests. They run inside a **tmux session** so you can disconnect and reconnect without interrupting them:
```bash
# Full test suite (~2-6 hours) — runs in tmux, safe to disconnect
darkforge-test
# Fast mode (~30 min) — skips toolchain/kernel/ISO builds
darkforge-test --quick
# Medium mode (~1 hour) — skips only toolchain bootstrap
darkforge-test --no-build
```
**tmux controls:**
- `Ctrl+B` then `D` — detach (tests keep running in background)
- `tmux attach -t darkforge` — reattach to see progress
- `tmux ls` — list running sessions
### 3. Collect the report ### 3. Collect the report
Once tests finish (check with `tmux attach -t darkforge`):
```bash ```bash
scp darkforge@<vm-ip>:/home/darkforge/darkforge/tests/report.json ./ # From your local machine
scp darkforge@<vm-ip>:/home/darkforge/darkforge/tests/report.txt ./ scp darkforge@<VM_IP>:~/darkforge/tests/report.json ./
scp darkforge@<VM_IP>:~/darkforge/tests/report.txt ./
```
The `report.txt` is a human-readable summary. The `report.json` is machine-readable and can be given to the development process for automated debugging.
### 4. Re-run after code changes
```bash
ssh darkforge@<VM_IP>
cd ~/darkforge
git pull --recurse-submodules
darkforge-test --quick # re-run tests
``` ```
