Git Sagar 0f9373263d macOS: guest agent, online templates, virtio-fs shares, persistent home volume
Apple's built-in QEMU guest agent (AppleQEMUGuestAgent, launched by launchd
when a virtio console port org.qemu.guest_agent.0 appears; guest-exec as root)
is attached by vmix run --macos and the NixOS module. AppleVirtIO.kext on x86
Tahoe drives virtio-fs, block, console, input, net — verified in QEMU.

- customizeImage: `bootScript` — online step through the guest agent (driver
  mode qga): boot the image, run the script as root with the VMIX volume, shut
  down through the agent. `as_user` runs commands in the logged-in session.
- templates.software: pkg/app (offline in the PE), script/homebrew (online).
- templates.profile.settings: widgets, wallpaper (pinned desktoppr — Apple
  Events need TCC consent that a headless session cannot give), dock apps,
  autohide, dark mode, hidden files.
- generalize: persistHome (fstab LABEL=vmix-home /Users), hideWidgets offline.
- formatVolume: formats a blank disk image as APFS by booting the PE (~35 s);
  idempotent.
- NixOS module: macos.guestAgent (/run/vmix/qga-<name>.sock), shares via
  virtiofsd + vhost-user-fs (Apple automount tag for the first share, others
  mounted through the agent), macos.homeDisk (created + formatted on first
  start, virtio-blk), SPICE keeps -vga vmware for macOS.
- CLI: vmix run --macos --share DIR --home FILE --qga PATH.
- qemu.nix helpers; README section.
