commit c791052 Author: Aditya Ramani <a_ramani@apple.com> Date: Wed Feb 18 07:43:56 2026 +0530 Add init methods for all the members of the Flags type (apple#1203) ## Type of Change - [ ] Bug fix - [x] New feature - [ ] Breaking change - [ ] Documentation update ## Motivation and Context Authors of CLI plugins for container will be able to reuse the container flags defined in the CLI package, instead of having to duplicate them in their project ## Testing - [ ] Tested locally - [ ] Added/updated tests - [ ] Added/updated docs commit dfac83d Author: Danny Canter <danny_canter@apple.com> Date: Tue Feb 17 16:54:44 2026 -0800 ContainerService: Add minimum memory amount validation (apple#1208) Closes apple#1202 Today it's possible to pass a memory amount that very easily will cause the container's VM to not be able to boot. We should protect against this to avoid weird hangs/error messages. I could be convinced that a limit should be in Containerization as well, but I think having one in the daemon is a decent idea regardless. commit 5385a5c Author: Kathryn Baldauf <k_baldauf@apple.com> Date: Tue Feb 17 15:08:32 2026 -0800 Support using multiple different network plugins (apple#1151) ## Type of Change - [x] New feature - [x] Breaking change ## Motivation and Context We want to be able to support using multiple network plugins during `container`'s lifetime. This additionally means needing to pick an interface strategy to interpret a network attachment based on what network plugin was used to create that attachment. This PR will potentially replace apple#1081.

Move this to the SandboxService to make it easier to support different container bundle types. ## Testing - [x] Tested locally - [x] Added/updated tests - [ ] Added/updated docs commit 4c800db Author: J Logan <john_logan@apple.com> Date: Fri Feb 13 10:51:27 2026 -0800 Fix persistent CI failures. (apple#1205) ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix - [ ] New feature - [ ] Breaking change - [ ] Documentation update ## Motivation and Context - CI build is failing because runners don't have an /etc/resolver directory, causing the directory monitor to fail. This occurs while the install-kernel make target is running, so it appears that kernel download is failing when it's just that the API server is dying. Created apple#1207 for the issue. - Fixing the initial scan for the directory just moves the problem to the filesystem watch loop, likely because we're not testing the result of `open()` for errors. - Right now the priority is getting CI running and PRs merged, so just commenting out the realhost DNS server setup. - Also seeing that under some conditions it can take quite a while for launchd to start the helper for the default network (8 seconds or more). With the 10 second health check timeout after API server registration, this means that some CI runs can exhibit this failure mode. Added a `--timeout` option to SystemStart and set a 60 second timeout for install-kernel and integration Makefile targets. - Fixed a bug where `--debug` was being placed in the wrong location in the api server startup args. - Disabled all network CLI tests due to container bootstrap errors when trying to run the container immediately after creating the network. The slow network helper launch could be the reason behind the failures that drove us to serialize these tests. Filed apple#1206 for this issue. ## Testing - [x] Tested locally - [ ] Added/updated tests - [ ] Added/updated docs commit f7d00aa Author: Danny Canter <danny_canter@apple.com> Date: Wed Feb 11 15:09:21 2026 -0800 APIServer: Add support for filtering to list rpc (apple#1175) This is not intended to be used to support `--filter` or similar on the CLIs list yet, it's solely to clean up our rather awkward use of `ContainerClient.list()` today in the CLI. The list RPC simply returns all of the containers we have created. Because of this, for a LOT of our commands we filter to what we need client side, which feels like a waste.. This change introduces a filter struct that we can provide an array of container IDs, labels, and the status of the containers to filter the `list()` output from. This additionally, because it was killing (pun not intended) me and I was already having to change this area for the `list()` additions, changes container kill slightly to return an error if you try and kill a container that doesn't exist. commit c9f81ca Author: ChengHao Yang <17496418+tico88612@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed Feb 11 04:26:33 2026 +0800 Feat: add container registry list (apple#1119) - Requires apple/containerization#502 - Closes apple#1088 --------- Signed-off-by: ChengHao Yang <17496418+tico88612@users.noreply.github.com> commit cf9b335 Author: Manu Schiller <56154253+manuschillerdev@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue Feb 10 03:11:27 2026 +0100 feat: add --init-image flag for specifying custom init filesystem images per VM (apple#937) - Users can now specify an alternate image to use with the `container run ---init-image` flag. commit 474906d Author: Amir Alperin <me@remotecpp.dev> Date: Fri Feb 6 23:38:19 2026 +0200 feat: Add runtime flag to container create and run commands (apple#1049) (apple#1109) ## Type of Change - [ ] Bug fix - [ ] New feature - [ ] Breaking change - [ ] Documentation update ## Motivation and Context Fixes apple#1049 - Add --runtime option for Flags.Management - Apply runtime handler in containerConfigFromFlags - Update command-reference.md doc ## Testing - [x] Tested locally - [ ] Added/updated tests - [ ] Added/updated docs Co-authored-by: J Logan <john_logan@apple.com> commit 40de343 Author: Dmitry Kovba <dkovba@apple.com> Date: Fri Feb 6 00:41:29 2026 -0800 Fix relative path mount tests (apple#1168) `make test` occasionally fails with: ``` ✘ Test testHostDNSReinitialize() recorded an issue at HostDNSResolverTest.swift:132:45: Expectation failed: (error → Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory") as?

It could only be created by passing either a ContainerConfiguration, or a Snapshot that had to be obtained from calling a static method on the type itself. The type also did not store a connection, so every single method got a new xpc connection to the APIServer. This change aims to rework this type to be just a generic client, that is *not* a client for one specific container, but for any. - Rename to ContainerClient - Have list() return [ContainerSnapshot] - Create a connection in the constructor - Change all the callsites to use the new API - Small, somewhat related, change to logs API in the APIServer. Now that we don't need to call get() to grab a client anymore which was typically what did "does this container exist" logic and gave a nice error message, I added a small check in the APIServer to see if the container exists and return mostly the same error message. commit 23c0ece Author: Danny Canter <danny_canter@apple.com> Date: Wed Feb 4 09:19:50 2026 -0800 CI: Add signed commit check (apple#1152) This requirement of ours often goes unnoticed because nothing yells at you openly about it.
