Remove opendal dependency from QEMU driver

[ambient-code]

Summary

• Move FlasherInterface ABC to core jumpstarter package (jumpstarter.driver.flasher) — it's a pure abstract class with no opendal imports
• Create a simplified FlasherClient in core (jumpstarter.client.flasher) that handles local files via resource_async and HTTP URLs via PresignedRequestResource, without requiring the opendal library
• Update QEMU driver to import FlasherInterface from jumpstarter.driver instead of jumpstarter_driver_opendal.driver
• Remove jumpstarter-driver-opendal from QEMU's pyproject.toml dependencies
• Update test to use direct HTTP URLs instead of opendal.Operator

Backward Compatibility

• The opendal package's own FlasherInterface is unchanged — drivers that depend on opendal (esp32, pi-pico, dutlink, sdwire) continue to work without modification
• The core FlasherInterface.client() points to jumpstarter.client.flasher.FlasherClient (simplified, no opendal)
• The opendal FlasherInterface.client() continues pointing to jumpstarter_driver_opendal.client.FlasherClient (full opendal support)

Test plan

• All 7 QEMU unit tests pass (resize, set_disk_size, set_memory_size)
• Integration test (test_driver_qemu) fails only due to missing qemu-img binary in CI environment (pre-existing)
• Linting passes on all changed files
• Verify other drivers (esp32, pi-pico, dutlink, sdwire) still import correctly from opendal

Fixed the CI failures by adding click>=8.1.7.2 to the jumpstarter package dependencies.

The new jumpstarter/client/flasher.py file imports click for its CLI functionality, but this dependency was missing from the package's pyproject.toml. This caused ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click' errors when tests tried to import modules that depend on the flasher client.

The version requirement >=8.1.7.2 matches the convention used in other jumpstarter driver packages.

[mangelajo]

I think it's reasonable to start accumulating common driver interfaces in the core jumpstarter, as, for example, this one is broadly used around Jumpstarter, and lived on opendal initially.

[ambient-code]

Agreed! The FlasherInterface ABC is purely abstract with no external dependencies, so it makes sense for it to live in core. This way any driver can implement it without pulling in opendal as a transitive dependency.

[mangelajo]

Are we testing all paths in here: https://github.com/jumpstarter-dev/jumpstarter/blob/main/python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-qemu/jumpstarter_driver_qemu/driver_test.py#L79 ?

I see it uses the Operator, can we make sure that we take that and interpret that for compatibility purposes without really relying/using opendal?

[ambient-code]

Good question. The current test covers two paths:

1. Local file path (cached_image.resolve()) -- this exercises the _local_file_adapter code path in the new FlasherClient, streaming the file via resource_async.
2. HTTP URL (the Fedora download URL) -- this was previously using Operator("http", endpoint=...) and is now a direct https:// URL, which exercises the _http_url_adapter code path using PresignedRequestResource.

Both paths in the new FlasherClient are covered by the integration test.

Regarding backward compatibility with opendal.Operator: the opendal package's FlasherClient (in jumpstarter_driver_opendal.client) is unchanged and still accepts the operator= parameter. Drivers that depend on jumpstarter-driver-opendal (esp32, pi-pico, dutlink, sdwire) continue to use that client via their own FlasherInterface.client() classmethod which points to the opendal version.

The QEMU driver now uses the core FlasherInterface which points to the simplified FlasherClient -- this one intentionally does not accept an operator= parameter since the goal is to avoid the opendal dependency entirely. The Operator usage in the old test was only needed because the old flasher client required it for HTTP downloads; the new client handles HTTP URLs natively.

So the API surface for QEMU users changes from:

# Old (required opendal)
qemu.flasher.flash("path/on/server", operator=Operator("http", endpoint="https://example.com"))

# New (no opendal needed)
qemu.flasher.flash("https://example.com/path/on/server")

The new API is simpler and doesn't break any existing QEMU usage since the operator= parameter was only used in this test, not in production QEMU workflows.

[mangelajo]

Ok, but if that test is there, is not executing. Should we make sure to have a test that executes the full url download?

[ambient-code]

You're right -- when the cached image exists (which it does in CI), the HTTP URL branch is never exercised.

I'll add a dedicated unit test for the _http_url_adapter and _parse_path helpers in the core jumpstarter package to make sure the URL code path is covered without needing a full Fedora image download. This will verify that:

1. _parse_path correctly distinguishes local paths from HTTP/HTTPS URLs
2. _http_url_adapter produces a proper PresignedRequestResource for HTTP URLs
3. The FlasherClient._flash_single method routes HTTP URLs through the presigned request path

For a full end-to-end HTTP download test, that would involve downloading a large image in CI which is expensive. I think a unit test covering the routing logic is the right trade-off here. Does that work for you?

[ambient-code]

Added unit tests for FlasherClient URL routing in 6bacdd62 to address @mangelajo's feedback about test coverage for the HTTP URL code path.

The new tests in flasher_test.py cover:

• _parse_path correctly distinguishing local paths from HTTP/HTTPS URLs
• _http_url_adapter producing correct PresignedRequestResource for read (GET) and write (PUT) modes
• FlasherClient._flash_single routing HTTP URLs through the presigned request path (not the local file adapter)
• FlasherClient.dump routing HTTP URLs correctly

This ensures the URL download logic is exercised in CI without needing to download a full Fedora image.

[ambient-code]

Fixed the lint-python CI failure in 6c8eee9 — removed two unused imports in flasher_test.py that ruff flagged as F401:

• pathlib.Path (line 3)
• jumpstarter.common.resources.PresignedRequestResource (line 56)

The netlify deploy preview failure is unrelated to this PR's changes.

[mangelajo]

Rebase the pr please.

[ambient-code]

Rebased onto main (d7a65e0). The branch now has a clean history on top of the latest main.
