+/**
+ * virtualization.ts — kernel level virtualization surface for saddle v6.
+ *
+ * the module merges four sources identified by the merge map (T7):
+ * - qemu-wrapper.ts: the full "turbo" qemu 11.1.0 argv builder with
+ *   DiamondRapids cpu model, TDX and SEV-SNP guest objects, OVMF secure
+ *   boot, io_uring drives and the venus virtio-gpu device
+ * - passage.ts: the network passage stack with six modes (direct, bridge,
+ *   nat, overlayVxlan, zeroTrust, latencyOptimization) built on OVS
+ *   3.7.1, DPDK 26.07.0, XDP at 10 Mpps, libbpf 1.6.0 and cilium/ebpf
+ *   v0.21.0, macvtap (bridge/vepa/private/passthrough), ipvlan (l2/l3/l3s),
+ *   SR-IOV VF passthrough, WireGuard namespaces and io_uring ZCRX
+ * - mttg.ts: the cgroups v2 multi-tenant thread group controller (cpu.weight
+ *   1-10000, cpu.max quota/period/burst, cpuset, memory.high/max, io.weight,
+ *   pids.max) with the EEVDF 6.6, BORE 0-39 and sched_ext 6.12 scheduler
+ *   notes, PSI, DAMON and CRIU live migration context
+ * - mttggrid: the Mttg work-stealing grid ported from forge.cpp because
+ *   architect.ts imports createGrid/MTTG_MAX that previously existed only
+ *   in the C++ binary (gap flagged by the merge map)
+ *
+ * naming warning preserved from the map: MTTCG (qemu multi-thread TCG, one
+ * host thread per vCPU) and MTTG (multi-tenant thread groups, this file)
+ * are unrelated concepts with similar acronyms and must never be merged.
+ *
+ * qemu argv hierarchy documented across the repository: buildqemucmd in
+ * this file is the complete "turbo" argv (TDX/SEV/vfio romfile/venus);
+ * qemuargv in index.ts is the lean plan argv; qemuruntime.buildcommand in
+ * orchestrator.ts is the runtime strategy argv; qemu_argv in forge.cpp is
+ * the C++ emitter. all four stay, each with a different role.
+ *
+ * contexts (25): qemuopts, buildqemucmd, qemuversioncheck, passagemode,
+ * passagebridge, passagesriov, passagemacvtap, passageipvlan, passageoverlay,
+ * passagezerotrust, passagelatencyopt, ebpfprogram, tenantqos, cgrouproot,
+ * tenantcgroupbuilder, createtenant, cpumaxqos, eevdfinfo, boreinfo,
+ * schedextinfo, psidamoninfo, criumigration/checkpoint (the v3-B1 append:
+ * criu planner, file snapshot, uffd restore, diff snapshots, live
+ * migration), mttggrid, idmapped (v3-B1 kernel gap), virtualizationcore
+ * bridge (buildmemorybackendargs + kvmcapnames)
+ *
+ * patterns: builder (tenantcgroupbuilder), namespace modules as plain
+ * function groups. rules: lowercase identifiers, english jsdoc third
+ * person, no emoji, try/catch catcher on every fallible path, node:*
+ * built-ins only, never a hardcoded localhost address.
