Every shipped `cmux vm new` sends persistentHome + perMachineHome. The route currently answers vm_operation_unsupported for providers without the persistentHome capability (Freestyle), so no default create works. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EKhg9oquDiSgPHm4jeJF3G
PR #11609 added a capability gate that rejects persistentHome or perMachineHome when the provider does not declare persistentHome. Freestyle does not, and every shipped cmux vm new sends both flags by default, so every plain create in production has failed with vm_operation_unsupported since that merge (only an explicit --provider bypassed it). The flags are a client default, not a user choice, so the route now keeps the sizing gate only, passes the home-volume flags to the workflow only when the provider honors them, and records cmux.vm.home_volume_requested / home_volume_dropped on the span.

Since #11609 merged (2026-09-10 13:29 PT), every plain
cmux vm newin production fails withvm_operation_unsupported("This machine does not support persistent home volumes."). The CLI sendspersistentHome+perMachineHomeon every default create (CLI/cmux.swiftaround line 6030, all channels), and the Freestyle driver declares nopersistentHomecapability, so the new gate rejects the body. Only an explicit--provider freestylebypasses it. Axiom shows the 400s oncmux.api.POST /api/vmwithcmux.vm.error_code = vm_operation_unsupported.The flags are a client default, not a user choice, so the route keeps the sizing gate only. The home-volume flags reach the workflow only when the provider honors them, so rows never claim a volume they do not have, and the span records
cmux.vm.home_volume_requested/cmux.vm.home_volume_dropped.Commit 1 adds the failing route test, commit 2 the fix.

capabilities.persistentHomeis false, and Freestyle should either honorhomeVolumeor the CLI comment promising a per-machine persistent home should go.https://claude.ai/code/session_01EKhg9oquDiSgPHm4jeJF3G

Medium Risk
Changes VM create validation and provisioning inputs on a hot path; behavior is narrowed (fewer 400s) but incorrect capability checks could still mis-record home volume state.
Overview
Fixes a production regression where default
cmux vm newcreates returnedvm_operation_unsupportedbecause the CLI always sendspersistentHome/perMachineHomewhile Freestyle does not advertisepersistentHome.POST
/api/vmnow runs those flags throughhomeVolumeOptionsFor: they are passed tocreateVmonly when the provider’s capabilities allow persistent home; otherwise both are cleared so the DB row does not claim a volume the driver cannot provision. OpenTelemetry spans recordcmux.vm.home_volume_requestedandcmux.vm.home_volume_dropped. The create “unsupported option” gate no longer treats home-volume fields as an explicit user choice—it only rejects unsupportedmemoryMbsizing.A route auth test asserts a Freestyle create with the default home-volume body succeeds and
createVmreceivespersistentHome: falseandperMachineHome: false.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 9bf0a94. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
