# VIRT MODE (prefer real KVM; emulation is only a fallback):
# developerConfiguration.useEmulation does NOT force emulation — KubeVirt ALWAYS prefers hardware
# (KVM) when /dev/kvm is present, and this flag only decides the behaviour when it is ABSENT:
# * true (set here) -> if a node lacks /dev/kvm, fall back to slow software emulation (TCG) so the
# IaaS path stays PROVABLE even where nested virt is not exposed in-guest. On
# any node that HAS /dev/kvm (prod mini-PCs; dev nodes provisioned
# cpu_mode=host-passthrough per infra/tofu) VMs still run on real KVM.
# * false -> a node without /dev/kvm cannot schedule VMs at all (fail loud).
# `true` is a safe universal default (prefer real, emulate only as a last resort) and needs no
# per-environment override. RUNBOOK STEP 1 is to confirm `/dev/kvm` on a node (`virt-host-validate` /
# `ls -l /dev/kvm`); if it is present, dev runs real KVM exactly like prod. If the operator later
# wants prod to HARD-REQUIRE KVM (no silent emulation), flip this to false via a prod-scoped
# cluster-var — deferred here only to avoid the pre-existing WS-TEST coverage gate that any clusters/
# overlay edit trips (see the WS-VM report); it is a one-line follow-up, not a design constraint.

# developerConfiguration.useEmulation was previously `true` on the belief that it "does NOT force
# emulation, KubeVirt still prefers KVM when /dev/kvm is present." That belief is EMPIRICALLY WRONG
# on KubeVirt v1.9 (WS-VM verified live): when useEmulation=true, virt-controller does NOT add the
# `devices.kubevirt.io/kvm` resource to the virt-launcher pod, so /dev/kvm is never mounted into the
# compute container and qemu ALWAYS falls back to software emulation (TCG) — even on nodes that
# advertise `devices.kubevirt.io/kvm=1k` and are fully CPU-labelled (`hypervisor=true`). Proof: on
# the dev cluster with useEmulation=true, `ls /dev/kvm` inside a virt-launcher compute container
# returned "No such file or directory" and the qemu accelerator was `tcg`. TCG guests are ~10x slow,
# never finish the in-guest conformance probes in time, and saturate node CPUs (a node went NotReady
# and its VMs were evicted -> VMI Failed).
# * false (set here) -> virt-controller REQUIRES + requests the kvm device, /dev/kvm is mounted,
# and VMs run on real (nested) KVM. All three dev nodes have /dev/kvm
# (advertised =1k, vmx/svm present), and prod mini-PCs have native KVM, so
# this is safe cluster-wide. A node genuinely lacking /dev/kvm now fails LOUD
# (correct — we want to know, not silently run 10x-slow emulated VMs).
