Use when booting custom kernels in QEMU, building Buildroot or Yocto rootfs, attaching virtio devices, or iterating kernel modules over NFS or 9p root. Not for KVM management: use qemu-kvm.

# QEMU for kernel development
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Kernel and driver work under QEMU: direct kernel boot with `-kernel` and `-append root=`, Buildroot or minimal rootfs, virtio block and network devices, out-of-tree module test loops, or a GDB stub against a booting kernel. |
| Authority | Read-only. Writes nothing. Chat output only. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Returns QEMU command lines and workflow steps the caller runs. No source files are modified. |
| Done | A booting QEMU command line for the target architecture, a rootfs plan, and the module or debug loop are delivered. |
## Inputs
1. Target architecture (required): arm64 or x86_64 primarily, with the kernel image path.
