Headless mode: `appsandbox.exe --headless` runs a single-owner daemon that hosts the core over a loopback HTTP/JSON API (http.sys) with a host.json discovery file. A dependency-free Python SDK, examples, and a self-contained regression suite live under tools/headless-api/ (PLAN.md = design rationale). The API mirrors the GUI: create/start/shutdown/stop/delete/edit, snapshots and branches (incl. base branches via the new asb_snap_base_branch_count), templates, sshInfo, an SSE /v1/events stream, GUI-mirrored input validation, a startup fail-fast (admin / Win11 build / VirtualMachinePlatform), and a single-instance mutex shared with the GUI so only one of GUI/headless runs at a time. SSH key deploy: sshDeployKey (requires sshEnabled) has the core generate an AppSandbox ed25519 keypair once and the guest agent write the public key into authorized_keys -- Windows administrators_authorized_keys (+ ACL), Linux/macOS ~/.ssh -- reporting a new ssh_key_deployed status (sshState 4). The GUI SSH button and the SDK use the key for password-less login. Verified end-to-end on Windows. The Linux guest builds its agent/driver source from this branch's GitHub repo; asb_core.c points the prefetch at "headless-api" (revert to "main" before merge, see PLAN.md).
