- 209 `hyperv` needs a Generation 2 VHDX, DHCP, and a known local administrator
- 210 password in trusted config or `CRABBOX_HYPERV_GUEST_PASSWORD`. It installs
- 211 pinned, verified OpenSSH and MinGit packages when missing, using PowerShell
- 212 Direct. See `docs/providers/hyperv.md` for template and lifecycle details.
- 213 
- 214 For provider testing, prefer an elevated headless runner; early PowerShell
- 215 Direct failures can show credential UI. Keep passwords out of arguments and
- 216 logs, and verify the lease becomes ready, runs over SSH, and releases.
+ 209 `hyperv` is a direct Windows-hosted `ssh-lease`/`local-vm` provider for native Windows Generation 2 VHDXs; it supports SSH/sync, pause/resume, cleanup, guarded checkpoint `fork`/`restore` (`crabbox checkpoint`), and `--desktop` with WebVNC/screenshots (`crabbox desktop proof`). See `docs/providers/hyperv.md`.
+ 210 
+ 211 Needs DHCP plus a known local administrator password from trusted user config or `CRABBOX_HYPERV_GUEST_PASSWORD` (never argv/repo/logs); PowerShell Direct bootstraps OpenSSH/MinGit. Run with Hyper-V VM/storage permissions as the invoking interactive user, never as `LocalSystem`; local `Hyper-V Administrators` membership suffices without elevation. Host session 0 is only an unattended-host convenience against PowerShell Direct credential UI and diverges profile, `PATH`, and SSH known-hosts. Doctor is non-mutating inventory/feature proof only: it does not boot the image or validate credentials. Pause uses `Save-VM`.
+ 212 
+ 213 Windows proof: `crabbox doctor --provider hyperv --target windows --hyperv-image 'C:\Images\windows-template.vhdx'`, then `crabbox warmup --provider hyperv --target windows --hyperv-image 'C:\Images\windows-template.vhdx' --slug hyperv-win-smoke --timing-json`, `crabbox status --provider hyperv --id hyperv-win-smoke --wait`, a no-sync command, and `crabbox stop --provider hyperv hyperv-win-smoke`.
+ 214 
+ 215 Exercise `pause`/`resume` and `cleanup --dry-run`. Expected blockers: host permissions, wrong image/generation, bad Windows credentials, or DHCP/internet. Destructive actions require an exact claim; explicitly `--reclaim` recovered VMs.

How it works

crabbox

When your agent uses it

Detect and use Crabbox for repository tests and validation on remote runners. Use when crabbox.yaml or .crabbox.yaml exists, the crabbox CLI is available, or work needs remote compute, a clean or reusable environment, target-platform coverage, or auditable execution evidence.

# Crabbox

Use Crabbox when a project needs remote proof, larger cloud capacity, a fresh
PR checkout, a reusable warmed box, GitHub Actions-style setup, durable run
logs/results, UI proof artifacts, or sync from a dirty local checkout.

## Detect Crabbox

- Treat repo-root `crabbox.yaml` or `.crabbox.yaml` as an intentional signal to
  use this skill for validation work. `.crabbox.yml` is not a supported config
  filename.
- If neither config exists, `command -v crabbox` still identifies an installed
  CLI. Run `crabbox doctor` before depending on it for remote work.
- Inspect config before executing it. Detection does not imply permission to
