ansible 08677d264f 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 ✅
- **Action:** Configure 2GB swap on pihole
- **Method:** Created and executed configure_swap.yml playbook
- **Results:**
  - Created /swapfile (2048MB)
  - Formatted and enabled swap
  - Added to /etc/fstab for persistence
  - Set vm.swappiness=10 for optimal performance
  - Verified: 2.0GB swap active, 0% used
- **CLAUDE.md Compliance:** Now meets minimum 1GB swap requirement
- **Impact:** Eliminates OOM killer risk
- **Status:** RESOLVED

### 3. QEMU Guest Agent - pihole ✅
- **Action:** Install and configure qemu-guest-agent
- **Method:** Created and executed install_qemu_agent.yml playbook
- **Results:**
  - Installed qemu-guest-agent v10.0.3
  - Service enabled and started (active/static)
  - Virtio serial channel detected: /dev/vport2p1
  - Agent connectivity: Fully operational
  - Created /root/qemu-guest-agent-setup.txt documentation
- **Impact:**

## 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

# =============================================================================
# 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'/>
# </channel>

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"}'
{% endif %}
