Changes
Added
Container machines: create, configure, run and monitor Apple container machines (persistent Linux VMs) directly in Orchard, over the native XPC API rather than shelling out to the CLI. A new Machines section in the sidebar lists your machines with state, IP address and a default badge, and the detail view shows the full configuration plus live CPU, memory, network and disk usage.
Create machines from an image with configurable CPUs, memory (defaulting to about half your host RAM), home-directory mount mode (read/write, read-only, or none), nested virtualization, and an optional custom kernel.
Machine lifecycle controls: start, stop, set-default, and delete, each with clear in-progress feedback.
Edit a machine's configuration with a one-click stop, apply and restart - Apple's runtime only applies CPU/memory/home-mount/kernel changes on the next boot, so Orchard does the restart for you.
Machine output and boot logs stream in the same multi-pane log viewer as containers, and running machines appear in a Machine Utilisation table on the Dashboard.
Init-system guardrails for the most common machine pitfall: a warning before creating from an image that has no init system, and a clear "the image has no init system" explanation when a machine boots and immediately stops because it lacks /sbin/init.
Changed
Reorganised the sidebar into Compute (Containers, Machines), Resources (Images, Mounts) and Networking (DNS, Networks), with Machines a first-class peer of Containers.
Fixed
Container machines' backing containers no longer appear as unexplained entries in the container list - they're now filtered out, matching the container CLI.
