ADR 0136: Q-0101: pre-M4 VMs get the terminal and console only after a redeploy; the release notes say so and the panel shows a ‘redeploy to enable’ hint instead of the action; the node agent never recreates a VM on its own

Context

The maintainer accepted the recommendation on 2026-11-04. A restart that silently changed a VM’s devices would break the rule that a restart keeps the stored spec; a redeploy is the explicit way to change it.

Decision

Q-0101: pre-M4 VMs get the terminal and console only after a redeploy; the release notes say so and the panel shows a ‘redeploy to enable’ hint instead of the action; the node agent never recreates a VM on its own.

Some wording was changed for the public repository.

Consequences

  • This decision is binding for all contributors and agents. Changing it requires a new ADR approved by the maintainer (see ADR 0036).
