Press t on a running container to suspend the TUI and run
`ssh -t root@<node> pct enter <vmid>`. cv4pve-cli has no shell or exec
for LXC, so this goes around it and needs key-based root SSH to the
PVE node.
- VMs, stopped containers and busy guests get a warning instead.
- Only exit code 255 (ssh failed) is reported as an error. Other codes
are the last status of the container's shell.
- OSError is caught inside suspend(). Textual's suspend() has no
try/finally, so an exception escaping it would leave the app
suspended.
- The guest table reloads when the shell returns.

Press c to list cv4pve-cli contexts and switch between them. The
active context is always shown in the header.
- Switching runs `cv4pve-cli config use`, which changes the global
current context. cv4pve-cli 2.4.0 has no per-call context option.
- `config list` has no JSON output, so its text lines are parsed.
- The guest table is cleared as soon as another context is chosen, so
the old cluster's guests cannot be acted on.
- A generation counter drops guest listings that started before a
switch, and g and c are refused while a switch runs. Without this,
a reload already in flight could refill the table with the old
cluster's guests, and VMIDs collide across clusters.
103 tests pass. The switch was tested live from mainframe to
mainframe-edge and back.

List VMs and LXC containers from the current cv4pve-cli context and
start, shutdown, stop and reboot them, change cores and memory, and
grow disks. The app shells out to `cv4pve-cli -o json` and stores no
credentials.
- Every mutating call uses --wait: without it cv4pve-cli exits 0 even
when the task fails.
- shutdown, stop and reboot need confirmation; disk growth is
increment-only and asks again because it cannot be undone.
- After an action the acted-on guest's status is read from
status/current, because /cluster/resources lags a few seconds.
- Notifies when a cores/memory change is pending until reboot.
Tests mock cv4pve-cli (85 tests). Live-tested edit, shutdown, start
and reboot on CT 104 (mainframe), restored afterwards; disk resize
was not run live.
