The two entries — « local VMs » and « nested, recursive » — wrote the same
thing and differed only by how far they walked. That is a question, not a
menu, so there is now a single flow and the depth is asked:
Profondeur (1 = ces machines seulement, défaut : 2)
Depth counts LEVELS of machines including the roots, so 1 writes the roots and
probes nothing. The old code always probed, which is why « local VMs only »
needed to be a separate entry at all.
The first question is where to look, because the machine to configure is not
always a VM of this host:
[1] Local QEMU VMs (virsh) the previous behaviour
[2] Hosts from ~/.ssh/config pick among what is already known; each is
probed over SSH and only those actually
running QEMU get their guests configured
[3] Type a host or an IP a raw IP gets an alias, without which
neither the children's ProxyJump nor
virt-manager would have a name to use
A root taken from ~/.ssh/config carries no IP: its address is already in the
file, so nothing is rewritten — the walk simply starts from it. That is the
single change that let the two flows merge.
Verified on a config holding a wildcard, a bastion and a hypervisor: local VMs
reaching their nested guest, ssh-config hosts skipping the bastion (no QEMU)
while configuring the hypervisor's guest and offering only the hypervisor to
virt-manager, a raw IP producing qemu-10-9-9-9 and its child, depth 1 probing
nothing, and [0] asking nothing further.
