Research direction

Start with the traceback entry points in /app/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py, virtManager/createnet.py, and /app/lib/python3.12/site-packages/libvirt.py, then reproduce creation of the virbr0 bridge. Determine why the packaged application receives “Operation not permitted” for privileged networking and document or fix the behavior so network creation succeeds or reports a clear actionable limitation.
