🔎 Describe the Bug

Description

AgentStack platform fails to start properly on Fedora 43 due to two critical issues:

1. Cloud-init user creation fails with deprecated syntax errors in the MicroShift VM image
2. Port forwarding doesn't work when using plain: true mode as a workaround

This prevents users from:

• Starting the AgentStack platform successfully
• Accessing services on localhost (UI, API, etc.)
• Connecting local agents to Ollama or other services

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install AgentStack CLI on Fedora 43:

   uv tool install agentstack-cli

2. Try to start the platform:

   agentstack platform start

3. Observe the failure during VM initialization

Expected Behavior

• AgentStack platform should start successfully
• Services should be accessible on localhost (ports 8333, 8334, etc.)
• Local agents should be able to connect to Ollama and other services

Actual Behavior

Issue 1: Cloud-init Failure

Error: cloud-init user creation fails with deprecated syntax
The MicroShift VM image uses outdated cloud-init syntax incompatible with Fedora 43

Issue 2: Port Forwarding Failure (when using plain: true workaround)

Port forwarding is disabled in plain mode
Services are not accessible on localhost
Agents cannot connect to Ollama or other host services
