claude-hdb 793f499178 fix: a clone must not inherit its source's identity ... Two boxes cloned from one snapshot came up holding the SAME IP address — 10.87.0.128, on the same dnsmasq lease, matching to the second on the lease timer. Incus does regenerate the MAC (they differed), but /etc/machine-id rides along inside the disk image, and systemd derives its DHCP client identifier from it. Same client-id, same lease. This breaks the workflow claudebox exists for: log in once, snapshot, clone forever. Every clone of a snapshot is, to the network, the same machine as its source and as its siblings. Truncating /etc/machine-id makes systemd mint a fresh one at next boot, so the clone path now resets it and restarts before handing the box over. Costs one reboot; the alternative is colliding boxes. Found by the drill on a live host (#26) — and it also explains why the sibling-isolation probe (#15 A3) could never work: it was aiming box A at box A's own address.
