Usage: {Path(sys.argv[0]).name} [--daemon] [--download-only] [--state-dir DIR] [-- QEMU_ARGUMENT ...]

Start a Fedora 44 Cloud Base virtual machine. The launcher obtains a missing
base image through the shared image helper and creates a writable overlay
in the state directory, leaving the base image unchanged. The VM hardware
(memory, CPUs, ...) is defined in qemu/fedora44/config.ini, which is
rendered to qemu.ini in the state directory and loaded with QEMU's -readconfig,
followed by qemu/fedora44/<os>-<arch>.ini (os is linux or darwin, arch is amd64 or arm64). Later QEMU arguments override them, e.g.
`-- -m 4G -smp 4`.
Host port forwards, one "LABEL HOST_PORT GUEST_PORT" rule per line, are
read from qemu/fedora44/forwards.conf.

Options:
  --daemon         Run in the background while keeping the graphical window
  --download-only  Download the base image if it is missing, then exit
  --state-dir DIR  Directory for the VM disk, seed ISO and runtime files
                   (default: vm/fedora44; overrides FEDORA_VM_STATE_DIR)
  -h, --help       Show this help

Environment variables:
  FEDORA_VM_BASE_IMAGE     Base qcow2 image path (default: resolved by shared image helper)
  FEDORA_VM_SEED_IMAGE     cloud-init seed ISO path (default: alongside the VM disk)
  FEDORA_VM_STATE_DIR      Runtime state directory (default: vm/fedora44)
  FEDORA_VM_DISK_IMAGE     Writable overlay path
  FEDORA_VM_DISK_SIZE      New overlay virtual capacity (default: 20G)
  VM_IMAGE_ARCH            Guest/host architecture: arm64 or amd64 (default: auto-detected from the host)
  FEDORA_VM_UEFI_CODE      UEFI read-only firmware path (auto-detected for the selected architecture)
  FEDORA_VM_UEFI_VARS      UEFI variable-store template path (auto-detected for the selected architecture)
  FEDORA_VM_DISPLAY        QEMU display backend (default: cocoa on macOS, gtk elsewhere)
  FEDORA_VM_QEMU_CONFIG    QEMU config template rendered into the state directory and
                           passed to -readconfig (default: qemu/fedora44/config.ini)
  FEDORA_VM_FORWARDS       Port forward file (default: qemu/fedora44/forwards.conf)
