# Packer build orchestration
Trigger Packer builds from `sandboxer create` and ship the-custodian
`make remote-build` shim — completing the build-machines migration arc.
Gap analysis P8: `history/2026-06-24-post-wp0007-intent-scope-gap-analysis.md`
Carries forward: SAND-WP-0005-T06 (deferred)
**Predecessor:** SAND-WP-0011 (consumer profiles)
**Follow-on:** reuse-surface federation publish; sandboxer01 operator track

## Packer build mode on ext.vm-packer
```task
id: SAND-WP-0012-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "9dc30d94-1797-4c35-81a0-e75e5414f6fc"
```
`VMPackerExtension` build mode: inputs `packer_template`, `vm_name` trigger
local Packer run per the-custodian `infra/build-machines/` conventions.
Distinct from attach mode; teardown preserves OVA artifact. Tests mocked subprocess.
## profile.vm-packer-build
```task
id: SAND-WP-0012-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "8e30794c-d8b9-48c7-ae93-db84724eedf2"
```
Profile binding build mode with placement and TTL suitable for long builds.
Documented inputs in `docs/migration-build-machines.md`.
## Manager and CLI integration
```task
id: SAND-WP-0012-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "685f766c-90ae-4698-87d0-b61535e7491a"
```
`create` selects build vs attach via profile or `inputs.mode=build|attach`.
Progress events to State Hub during long provision. CLI help text updated.
## the-custodian remote-build shim
```task
id: SAND-WP-0012-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "6c4c0f85-5153-4fe9-84e6-26c5c9d33bb1"
```
`make remote-build PROJECT=` in build-machines delegates to
`sandboxer create --profile profile.vm-haskell-build` when CLI present;
legacy rsync path retained with deprecation notice.
`scripts/verify-remote-build-shim.sh` mirrors SAND-WP-0004 pattern.
## Port-registry automation
```task
id: SAND-WP-0012-T05
status: done
priority: low
state_hub_task_id: "701b2640-36ea-4702-b660-7169a4ec72cc"
```
Documented read-only port-registry pointer in `docs/migration-build-machines.md`;
full ops-bridge automation deferred.
## Docs, tests, runbook
```task
id: SAND-WP-0012-T06
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "2378cd6a-ac23-47e9-a5d9-0d80b9e9f7af"
```
Updated `docs/migration-build-machines.md`, `docs/extension-sdk.md`, operator
runbook `docs/runbooks/profile-vm-packer-build.md`. Build mode cases in
`tests/test_vm_packer.py`. `make check` green (90 tests).

## Out of scope
| Item | Track |
|------|-------|
| OVA import on hypervisor | Operator / build-machines |
| systemd build-agent changes | the-custodian infra |
| sandboxer01 host | Infra operator |

## Acceptance criteria
- Build mode provisions via CLI with mocked Packer in CI
- Attach mode unchanged (backward compatible)
- the-custodian shim documented and verified
- SAND-WP-0005-T06 superseded when complete
