supermachine 0.7.71

Run any OCI/Docker image as a hardware-isolated microVM on macOS HVF (Linux KVM and Windows WHP in progress). Single library API, zero flags for the common case, sub-100 ms cold-restore from snapshot.
Documentation
//! Validate KVM differential snapshots: capture a base, change guest state,
//! snapshot_diff vs the base (storing only changed pages), then restore from the
//! diff and confirm the change is present — and that the diff file is far
//! smaller than a full snapshot.
