Implement immediate remediation actions from system analysis

Executed critical remediation actions identified in SYSTEM_ANALYSIS_AND_REMEDIATION.md

## Actions Completed

### 1. SSH Access Restored - mymx VM 
- **Action:** Deploy SSH keys to mymx (192.168.122.119)
- **Method:** Manual SSH key deployment via jump host
- **Results:**
  - Created `ansible` user
  - Deployed ed25519 public key
  - Configured passwordless sudo
  - Verified connectivity with ansible ping
- **Impact:** Host now fully accessible for automation
- **Status:** RESOLVED

### 2. Swap Configuration - pihole

- Agent ping test (if channel configured)
- Detailed troubleshooting guidance

**Usage:**
```bash
ansible-playbook playbooks/install_qemu_agent.yml

```

**Tags:** install, config, validate

**Note:** Includes instructions for hypervisor-side channel configuration if needed

## Remediation Status Update

### Critical Issues
| Issue | Host | Status | Time |
|-------|------|--------|------|
| No swap configured | pihole |  RESOLVED | 12s |
| derp unreachable | derp |  PENDING | - |

### High Priority Issues
| Issue | Host | Status | Time |
|-------|------|--------|------|
| QEMU agent missing | pihole |  RESOLVED | 7s |
| QEMU agent missing | mymx |  PENDING | - |
| No LVM | pihole |  PENDING | - |

### Compliance Improvement

**pihole:**
- Before: ~60% CLAUDE.md compliant
- After: ~75% CLAUDE.md compliant
- Remaining: LVM migration

**mymx:**
- Before: ~90% compliant (after SSH fix)
- After: ~90% compliant
- Remaining: QEMU agent installation

### Time to Resolution
- **Swap configuration:** 12 seconds
- **QEMU agent installation:** 7 seconds
- **Total active remediation:** <20 seconds

## Testing & Validation

### Swap Configuration Test (pihole)
```
Before: Swap: 0B 0B 0B
After:  Swap: 2.0Gi 0B 2.0Gi

$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1.9Gi       386Mi        86Mi       8.0Mi       1.6Gi       1.5Gi
Swap:          2.0Gi          0B       2.0Gi

$ swapon --show
NAME      TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/swapfile file   2G   0B   -2

$ cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
```

### QEMU Agent Test (pihole)
```
$ systemctl status qemu-guest-agent
● qemu-guest-agent.service - QEMU Guest Agent
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/qemu-guest-agent.service; static)
   Active: active (running)

$ qemu-ga --version
QEMU Guest Agent 10.0.3

$ ls -la /dev/vport2p1
crw------- 1 root root 245, 1 Oct 19 14:22 /dev/vport2p1

Status: Fully operational
```

### SSH Connectivity Test (mymx)
```
$ ansible mymx -m ping
mymx | SUCCESS => {

# =============================================================================
# Install QEMU Guest Agent on KVM Virtual Machines
# =============================================================================
# This playbook installs and configures qemu-guest-agent on all KVM guest VMs,
# enabling better VM management from the hypervisor.
#
# Benefits of QEMU Guest Agent:
# - Accurate IP address discovery from hypervisor
# - Filesystem quiescing for consistent snapshots
# - Graceful shutdown/reboot from hypervisor
# - VM state monitoring and management
#
# Usage:
# ansible-playbook playbooks/install_qemu_agent.yml
# ansible-playbook playbooks/install_qemu_agent.yml --limit pihole
#
# Note: After installation, the VM needs a virtio-serial channel configured
# in the libvirt domain XML. This playbook installs the guest-side component.
#
# To add the channel (run on hypervisor):
# virsh attach-device <vm-name> --config --file channel.xml
#
# Where channel.xml contains:
# <channel type='unix'>
# <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>

QEMU Guest Agent Installation Summary
======================================
Date: {{ ansible_date_time.iso8601 }}
Host: {{ inventory_hostname }}
Status: Agent installed and running
Virtio Serial Channel Status: {{ 'CONFIGURED' if virtio_serial.stat.exists else 'NOT CONFIGURED' }}
{% if not virtio_serial.stat.exists %}
MANUAL CONFIGURATION REQUIRED
=============================
The QEMU guest agent is installed and running inside this VM, but it cannot
communicate with the hypervisor because the virtio-serial channel is not configured.
To complete the setup, execute these commands ON THE HYPERVISOR:
1. Shutdown this VM:
virsh shutdown {{ inventory_hostname }}
2. Create channel configuration file:
cat > /tmp/{{ inventory_hostname }}-channel.xml << 'EOF'
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
EOF
3. Attach the channel to the VM:
virsh attach-device {{ inventory_hostname }} \
--config --file /tmp/{{ inventory_hostname }}-channel.xml
4. Start the VM:
virsh start {{ inventory_hostname }}
5. Verify the agent is working:
virsh qemu-agent-command {{ inventory_hostname }} '{"execute":"guest-ping"}'
Alternatively, you can edit the XML directly:
virsh edit {{ inventory_hostname }}
And add this section inside <devices>:
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
{% else %}
CONFIGURATION COMPLETE
======================
The QEMU guest agent is fully configured and can communicate with the hypervisor.
Test from hypervisor:
virsh qemu-agent-command {{ inventory_hostname }} '{"execute":"guest-ping"}'
virsh qemu-agent-command {{ inventory_hostname }} '{"execute":"guest-info"}'
