+ *        A file is its bytes or text, or {data, mode?, uid?, gid?}; {dir: true, mode?, uid?, gid?} makes a
+ *        directory (W65: an image's WORKDIR). A control service with yamux: true is
+ *        wmd's control session (P-B11): vm.control drives it (src/host/ctl.js).
+ *        Pass the ports to vm.wasm yourself (--p9 PORT, --console PORT, ...). A port with no service
+ *        refuses (-111), as nothing listening does natively. collect?: [{port, path}]: files read

+ *        maxUpperBytes?: the cap on each 9P service's upper (bytes of file contents the guest's
+ *        writes hold in the service Worker) for services that do not set their own; default
+ *        upperCapDefault() (navigator.deviceMemory); Infinity for none. Reported in
+ *        timings.chanUppers; when a write hits it the guest gets ENOSPC and onStderr says so.
+ *        consoleInputBytes?: console input (vm.consoleWrite) queued for the guest at most
+ *        (default CONSOLE_IN_LIMIT, 4 MiB).
+ *        The guest should mount the 9P root with p9MountOptions() (cache=mmap): under
+ *        cache=loose a full upper cannot fail write(2) (src/host/p9mount.js).
+ *        P-B10: a net service with relay: {url, token?, tokenUrl?} ({port, kind: 'net', relay,
+ *        config?, maxConns?}) is the guest's network: a network Worker (src/net/net-worker.js) runs
+ *        a TCP/IP stack for the guest's virtio-net frames and carries its TCP connections and DNS
+ *        through the relay (web/relay). Pass --net PORT (and --mac) to vm.wasm. vm.net has its
+ *        stats; timings.net has them at the end.
+ *        W56: {port, kind: 'net', switch, name, ip?, relay?}: the guest is on an in-page network
+ *        (new NetSwitch(), src/net/switch.js) with the other guests of the page on the same switch:
+ *        they reach each other by address and by name (name, name.wmd.internal), with or without a
+ *        relay; the guest's address is `ip`, else the one its name had on the switch, else the next
+ *        free one (switch.address(name) tells it before the boot, for the bundle's /etc/hosts).
+ *        A restored guest must come back with the same address (same name, or the same ip). Without `ip` the
+ *        address follows the order names first reach the switch: to restore after a page reload, give `ip`.
+ * @param {(text:string)=>void} [o.onConsole]   text the guest wrote to the console channel (hvc0)
+ * @param {boolean} [o.checkpoint]               P-B9: the guest gets its checkpoint thread (wmd.ctl_attach) and point import
+ *        (wmd.point), the boot gets a key (the vm.wasm, kernel, command line, packs it ran), and the handle gets
+ *        checkpoint(): memory 0, the 9P service's files and fids, the JIT slot list and the fd table, taken while the
+ *        guest is stopped at its checkpoint point. Needs channels with a 9P service, and the same options to restore.
+ * @param {boolean} [o.checkpointHeapTop]       P-B9: bound the scan at vm.wasm's vm_heap_top() (default on, W58: false reads all of memory 0)
+ * @param {number} [o.checkpointScanLimit]      P-B9: bytes of memory 0 a checkpoint reads (default all). Above it pages are taken as zero:
+ *        only safe with the guest's real heap top (WebKit commits every page a scan reads, W34)
+ * @param {object} [o.restore]                  P-B9: a checkpoint ({header, sections}, from vm.checkpoint() or a store's load())
+ *        to continue from instead of booting: the same options as the boot that took it (a different vm.wasm, kernel,
+ *        command line, packs or bundle is refused with a CheckpointError, code 'stale'). The guest comes back as it was;
+ *        its console and control ports are reset (the init opens the control port again), network flows are gone.
+ * @param {boolean} [o.stallHook]               P-B8 test hook: vm.stallThread(tid, ms) stops one guest
+ *                                              thread's Worker at its next host call (default off; when
