DuckbootandClaude Opus 5.5 32809b6743 Add guest info screen with backups, backup now and network
Press i on a guest to see its backups and network. Backups from every
backup-capable storage are listed newest first, with the backup jobs
that cover the guest. The network part shows the netN settings
(bridge, VLAN, MAC, IPv4/IPv6 setting, firewall) and the addresses in
use.

Press b in the info screen to back the guest up now: snapshot mode and
zstd, like the scheduled job, to a storage you pick (the job's storage
is preselected). It asks for confirmation, marks the guest busy and
uses --wait.

Fixed after review and a read-only live check:
- prune-backups arrives as a JSON string; parsing it as a dict
  crashed the app.
- CT addresses come from ip-addresses. inet6 holds only the
  link-local address, so the global SLAAC address was missing.
- The info screen uses the guest's live status, and odd API data
  (null size, unknown address types) no longer kills the app.
- The test fake now copies guest dicts; a shared constant was being
  mutated across tests.

# cv4pve-cli-tui
Textual TUI for [cv4pve-cli](https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-cli): list Proxmox VE
guests (VMs and LXC), start/shutdown/stop/reboot them, and change cores, memory and
disk size.
It shells out to `cv4pve-cli` and uses its current context (`cv4pve-cli config use <name>`);
it stores no credentials itself. Tested with cv4pve-cli 2.4.0.
## Run
```sh
uv run cv4pve-tui
```
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `s` | start |
| `S` | shutdown (confirm) |
| `x` | stop - hard power-off (confirm) |
| `r` | reboot (confirm) |
| `e` | edit cores / memory / grow a disk (disk growth asks again; it cannot be undone) |
| `i` | info: backups, backup job, network (config and runtime IPs); `b` there = backup now (snapshot, zstd, storage choice) |
| `t` | shell in a running LXC container (`ssh -t root@<node> pct enter <vmid>`) |
| `g` | refresh |
| `c` | switch cv4pve-cli context (cluster) |
| `q` | quit |
The shell key needs key-based root SSH to the PVE node (LXC only).
Switching context runs `cv4pve-cli config use`, which changes cv4pve-cli's global current
context: other shells and scripts follow, and it stays after the app exits.
Empty fields in the edit dialog are left unchanged. If a CPU/memory change cannot be
hot-plugged, the app tells you it applies at the next reboot.
## Development
```sh
uv sync
uv run pytest
```
Tests mock `cv4pve-cli`; they never touch a cluster. Design: `docs/plans/guest-tui-mvp.md`.
