GuofangandClaude Sonnet 5.5 a920ba0ca5 Windows launcher only creates a differential disk; seed via Unattend.xml
run-windows11.py no longer installs Windows or touches ISO/img files: it
creates a QCOW2 overlay on the base image (made by vm-images/build-windows-base.sh)
and, when the disk is created, mounts seed.iso. Windows reads the Unattend.xml
in its root during the specialize and OOBE passes (host name, account, auto
logon, Remote Desktop) and Configure-Windows.ps1 then installs OpenSSH with the
host's key, turns off Windows Update and copies the installer scripts.

The VM hardware uses devices with inbox Windows drivers (IDE/NVMe, e1000e,
ramfb on arm64), since the base image has no VirtIO drivers. Autounattend.xml
moves to vm-images; the vm-images pointer is updated.
