Description
Ideally we could build filesystem images with fs-verity enabled inside of them, entirely in userspace, without needing to use our fix-verity hack (which boots a VM, mounts the image, and runs a little script to call fsverity enable on everything).
I got that working for the first time today, but it required a large number of patches:
- https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/35401
- https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/pull/203
- https://github.com/btrfs/linux/commit/0af58a673817a31f13eabde179b8271922765083 needs to get released (probably 6.13, but maybe it gets backported to stable)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing fix-verity workflow described in the issue and the linked systemd and e2fsprogs pull requests, along with the referenced btrfs commit. Done means filesystem images can be built with fs-verity enabled entirely in userspace without booting a VM or running the fix-verity script.
