Research direction

Start by reviewing the checklist and reproducing the linked Qubes issue on Debian 12, including swtpm and swtpm-tools. Then assess the novnc port-forwarding, container setup, and requested 4-CPU/16-GB workspace against the linked Codespace and forum discussions. Done means each checklist item is implemented and the resulting testing workflow is validated.
