GuofangandClaude Opus 5.5 3561fc6729 Remove shell VM launchers in favor of the Python ones
Delete run-*.sh and point the documentation at run-*.py. The
seediso build-seed.sh helpers stay, as the Python launchers call them.

Usage: {Path(sys.argv[0]).name} [--daemon] [--install-from-iso] [--state-dir DIR] [-- QEMU_ARGUMENT ...]
If the system disk (DIR/disk.qcow2, see --state-dir) is missing, create it from
the Windows 11 QCOW2 base image.
Use --install-from-iso to perform an automatic ISO installation instead.
If it exists, start Windows normally without attaching installation media.
Options:
--daemon Run QEMU in the background
--install-from-iso Install from ISO when the system disk is missing
--state-dir DIR Directory for the VM disk, seed ISO and runtime files
(default: .vm/windows11; overrides WIN11_VM_STATE_DIR)
-h, --help Show this help
Environment variables:
WIN11_VM_BASE_IMAGE Windows 11 base QCOW2 image (default: beside shared images)
WIN11_VM_INSTALL_ISO Windows 11 installation ISO used with --install-from-iso
WIN11_VM_TOOLS_ISO VirtIO Windows tools ISO (default: resolved by shared image helper)
WIN11_VM_MEMORY Guest memory (default: 8G)
WIN11_VM_CPUS Virtual CPU count (default: 8)
WIN11_VM_RDP_PORT Host RDP port (default: 3389)
WIN11_VM_SSH_PORT Host SSH port (default: 2222)
WIN11_VM_STATE_DIR Runtime directory (default: .vm/windows11)
WIN11_VM_DISK_IMAGE System disk path
WIN11_VM_DISK_SIZE New system disk size (default: 64G)
WIN11_VM_SEED_ISO Answer-file ISO path (default: alongside the VM disk)
WIN11_VM_UEFI_CODE OVMF read-only firmware path (auto-detected if unset)
WIN11_VM_UEFI_VARS OVMF variable-store template path (auto-detected if unset)
WIN11_VM_DISPLAY QEMU display backend (default: cocoa on macOS, gtk elsewhere)
