box/templates/claude/user-data.yaml
claude-hdb c11f3d7552 feat!: claudebox becomes box — the Claude box is one template among several
The tool underneath was already generic: a thin, honest wrapper over
Incus. What was Claude-specific was welded on — one image, one profile,
one cloud-init file, one hardcoded 'sudo -u claude'. The weld is now a
template.

The mechanic: 'box new' stamps the template's identity onto the
instance (user.box=1, user.box.template, user.box.user); shell/exec/
tmux read the user back off the instance, and 'incus copy' carries
user.* keys (audit B2), so a clone knows what it is without consulting
the template. Templates are box.env (parsed against a strict allowlist,
never sourced — no key for a network exists, on purpose) plus a
verbatim cloud-init. Every template launches with the shared box-net
profile: the isolated NIC and root disk, nothing template-controlled —
resources land per-instance from box.env, overridable via BOX_CPU/
BOX_MEMORY/BOX_DISK (which is also how the drill shrinks boxes on a
small host now that profile edits can't).

The three open calls, taken as recommended: clean cut at 0.4.0 (no
claudebox shim; the installer retires the old symlink); default
template = claude (muscle memory survives); repo stays heavy-duty/
claudebox, binary is box.

Compat is the tag, not the name: resolve_box and list honor the legacy
user.claudebox=1 forever, and the legacy tag maps to the claude user —
a pre-rename box lists, shells, clones, unchanged.

Deliberate divergence from #17's table: the host-stack resource names
(claudenet, claude-isolate, nft tables, claudebox-firewall.*) are NOT
renamed — they are host-internal, invisible to users, and renaming
them breaks every provisioned host for zero user-visible gain.
claude-dev is no longer created; setup-host creates box-net, teardown
removes both.

Closes #17

# You are running inside a claudebox
A claudebox is a trust-less, network-isolated, ephemeral VM created by the
`box` CLI (template: claude). Keep this context in mind:
- **Creds-free by default.** The box starts with no Claude and no git
credentials. If you need to authenticate Claude, the operator runs `/login`
interactively. For git, the operator adds their own credentials (a PAT or
`gh auth login`). Never assume credentials are present; never ask for or
store secrets on disk beyond what the operator sets up.
- **Isolated.** The box reaches the public internet but nothing on the host or
local network. There is no inbound path.
- **Disposable.** Nothing here is backed up. State is discarded when the box is
removed; the operator persists work via git push and via `box snapshot`.
- **Bootstrap runbook.** If the repository you are working in contains a
`.claudebox/` folder, read it as your setup runbook — how to install
dependencies, start services, template environment files, seed data, and
smoke-test — and follow it. It is documentation for you, not a script the
host runs.
