Maximus Gorog 69c09f4404 Phase 2: real-VM episode (Cirros under KVM) + works-cited doc

vm/launch_demo.sh boots a Cirros qcow2 under KVM with QMP and a monitor
socket exposed; snapshot=on routes guest writes to a temporary overlay
so the on-disk image is never mutated (clean factory reset every boot).

End-to-end verified: vm/launch_demo.sh → orchestrator with --target-pid
&lt;qemu pid&gt; → 201 telemetry rows over 20s against the real qemu-system
process. The plotted envelope shows the expected idle-VM shape:
periodic ~10% CPU spikes from KVM/timer interrupts, flat 230 MiB RSS,
and a single late-boot disk write. Distinct from the synthetic
load_mimic envelope, confirming the collector reads real KVM behavior.

docs/sources.md is the works-cited doc — every tool, library, sample
source, paper, and standard the project leans on, grouped by category.
README's nav table now points at it. README's status section also lists
what's done vs. in progress so reviewers can see scope at a glance.

Note: vm/images/ stays gitignored. The Cirros 0.6.3 image is documented
with its sha256 (7d6355852aeb...) in docs/sources.md so any team member
can reproduce the bytes.

vm/

Recipes and helpers for building and snapshotting guest VMs. Disk images and snapshots themselves are gitignored — this directory carries the how, not the bytes.

vm/
  images/                # qcow2 staging (gitignored)
  snapshots/             # exported snapshots if needed (gitignored)
  guest-agent/           # in-guest telemetry agent (shipped into the guest)
  metasploitable2.md     # download/convert/snapshot procedure (TODO)
  custom-debian/         # cloud-init for our own vulnerable Debian (TODO)

See docs/lab-setup.md for the full host + guest bring-up procedure.
