On macOS the WebView was autocorrecting and autocapitalising VM names,
usernames, paths, and snapshot names as they were typed. There is no clean
public WKWebView toggle, so disable it in the markup: spellcheck="false" on
<body> (inherits to all descendants) plus the WebKit autocorrect="off" /
autocapitalize="off" extensions on the body and the free-text inputs (vm-name,
image-path, admin-user, modal-input). These attributes are inert on Windows, so
the shared web assets behave the same there.
style.css greys a disabled checkbox and its label (opacity, default cursor, via
:has()) so the "Deploy SSH key" option reads as unavailable until "SSH Server"
is enabled.
Linux guest provisioning now mirrors the host's regional settings instead
of hardcoding en_US / us / America/New_York / "ubuntu":
- detect_host_locale_settings() reads the current Windows user's locale
(GetUserDefaultLocaleName), keyboard (GetKeyboardLayoutList) and
timezone (GetDynamicTimeZoneInformation), translating each to the
Linux equivalent. Language is gated to the 8 ISO-preinstalled
languages (de/en/es/fr/it/pt/ru/zh) and falls back to en_US.UTF-8
otherwise; keyboard + timezone always match the host (every XKB
layout and IANA zone ships in the squashfs offline).
- VM name flows through as the guest hostname (mirrors Windows
ComputerName), staged as /etc/appsandbox-hostname.
- All four values staged as marker files; firstboot STEP 2/3/4 read
them with safe fallbacks and STEP 17 echoes the applied values.
Create-VM UI validation is now per-guest-OS, keyed consistently off
osType across validateVmName / validateUsername / validatePassword:
- Linux hostname: lowercase, RFC-1123 charset
- Linux username: ^[a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*$, <=32 chars
- Linux password: all chars allowed (host $6$ hash path), <=255 bytes
- default name lowercases to "myappsandbox" when Linux is selected
- OS Type moved above VM Name in the modal; .field-warn now wraps so
long messages don't break the modal layout; added admin-pass-warn span
IDD audio: drop the unused GetMixFormat call that returned
AUDCLNT_E_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT on some AMD endpoints and needlessly killed
the audio path. renderfmt is built from the guest header and Initialize
runs with AUTOCONVERTPCM, so the host mix format was never used.
bugs fixed: the agent -> host messaging passing was unreliable
The NAT IP address failed to automatically set on first boot for VMs created from ISO.
SSH doesn't require internet which is cool, goes over Hyper-V sockets.
