Major refactoring: Fix re-migration, improve PID handling, and enhance restore robustness

This commit includes multiple critical fixes and improvements for production-ready
CRIU-based live migration in Kubernetes environments.

## Critical Fixes

### 1. S3 Path Consistency (Re-migration Support)
**Problem**: Re-migration (gen0→gen1→gen2) failed with "Found 0 metadata files"
- Agent uploaded to pod-name paths: checkpoints/my-web-app-gen1/...
- Controller downloaded from MigratableApp paths: checkpoints/my-web-app/...
- Generation numbers inconsistent (agent used old value)

**Solution**:
- Added `migration.io/app` annotation containing MigratableApp name
- Agent reads MigratableApp name via Downward API from annotations
- POD_GENERATION now reads from annotation instead of Status field
- S3 paths consistently use: checkpoints/{app-name}/{generation}/{node}/{dump-id}

**Files**: pkg/agent/checkpoint.go, pkg/controller/pod_builder.go

### 2. SOURCE_POD_IP for Lazy-Pages Connection
**Problem**: Lazy-pages failed to connect during re-migration
- SOURCE_POD_IP not injected into restore pods
- gen2 couldn't find gen1's page-server address

**Solution**:
- BuildRestorePod() accepts sourcePodIP parameter
- Stores in `migration.io/source-pod-ip` annotation
- Agent reads via Downward API for lazy-pages daemon

**Files**: pkg/controller/pod_builder.go, pkg/controller/migration.go, pkg/agent/server.go

### 3. PID Layout Consistency
**Problem**: PID conflicts during restore
- Source and target had different PID layouts
- CRIU restore failed with "pid already exists" errors

**Solution**:
- Added PID booster init container (generation 0 only)
  - Spawns 150 dummy processes to advance PID counter
  - App processes start with PIDs 100+
- Restore pods keep original app container spec (no command modification)
- Ensures identical PID layout between source and target

**Files**: pkg/controller/pod_builder.go

## Major Enhancements

### 4. Robust Lazy-Pages Lifecycle Management
**Problem**: Race conditions and timing issues with lazy-pages daemon
- Premature health checks killed page-server
- No proper readiness detection

**Solution**:
- Lazy-pages ready detection using log file parsing
- Waits for "Lazy pages server pid" or "page-read-complete" messages
- Separate page-server and lazy-pages health checks
- Removed TCP dial health check (killed page-server)

**Files**: pkg/agent/restore.go, pkg/agent/server.go

### 5. Comprehensive Namespace Handling
**Problem**: Mount namespace handling errors during restore
- External mounts not properly detected
- Namespace operations not isolated

**Solution**:
- Added dedicated namespace utilities (pkg/agent/namespace.go)
- Comprehensive external mount detection:
  * /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/resolv.conf
  * /dev/termination-log, /dev/shm
  * Service account tokens (/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount)
- CRIU commands include proper --external and --ext-mount-map flags
- Uses --join-ns for mount/uts/ipc/net namespaces

**Files**: pkg/agent/namespace.go, pkg/agent/restore.go

### 6. Enhanced Checkpoint Chain Management
**Problem**: Checkpoint chain not properly tracked across migrations
- Chain depth not maintained
- Root checkpoint lost during re-migration

**Solution**:
- Checkpoint metadata stored in S3 (JSON files)
- Chain reconstruction from S3 metadata files
- Automatic baseline checkpoint after restore
- Chain depth and root properly tracked

**Files**: pkg/agent/checkpoint.go

### 7. Improved Error Handling and Logging
**Enhancements**:
- Structured logging with timestamps and context
- Detailed CRIU command logging for debugging
- Error messages include actionable information
- Progress indicators for long operations

**Files**: pkg/agent/server.go, pkg/agent/restore.go

## gRPC Protocol Updates

Added new RPC methods for enhanced migration workflow:
- `HealthCheck`: Agent health monitoring
- `GetProcessPID`: Retrieve main process PID
- `StopPageServer`: Graceful page-server shutdown
- Enhanced `FinalDump` response with external mounts info

**Files**: pkg/proto/agent.proto, pkg/proto/agent.pb.go, pkg/proto/agent_grpc.pb.go

## Controller Improvements

- Migration controller uses new gRPC methods
- Proper page-server lifecycle management
- External mounts passed from source to target
- S3 prefix calculation uses consistent app names

**Files**: pkg/controller/migration.go, pkg/controller/client.go

## Configuration Updates

- Dockerfile: Added libcurl4 for S3 object storage support
- Manager: Increased resource limits for stability
- Workdir: Changed to /tmp/.criu-checkpoints (hidden directory)

**Files**: deploy/agent/Dockerfile, config/manager/manager.yaml

## Test Results

✅ Successful re-migration: gen0 (worker1) → gen1 (worker2) → gen2 (worker1)
✅ Checkpoint metadata found: 43 files in chain
✅ Lazy-pages connection successful with correct source IP
✅ Restore completed in ~7 seconds
✅ Pre-checkpoints working continuously after restore
✅ Zero-downtime migration achieved

 └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
 ```
 
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Sleep Infinity Approach
+
+The operator uses a "sleep infinity" pattern to avoid checkpointing the container's PID 1 process directly:
+
+1. **Pod starts with `sleep infinity` as PID 1** (specified in MigratableApp spec)
+2. **Agent launches the actual application via `nsenter`** during restore
+3. **CRIU only checkpoints the child process**, not PID 1
+
+Benefits:
+- PID 1 (sleep) remains unchanged across migrations
+- Avoids complications with container runtime expectations
+- Maintains namespace sharing for kubelet compatibility
+
+### Mount Namespace Handling
+
+The operator implements CRIU's `--join-ns mnt` feature to handle Kubernetes-injected mounts:
+
+**Challenge**: Kubernetes injects various mounts into containers:
+- `/dev/termination-log`
+- `/etc/hosts`, `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/hostname`
+- ConfigMap/Secret volumes
+- Service account tokens
+
+**Solution**: Join the target pod's existing mount namespace instead of restoring:
+- **Dump**: Mark specific mounts as external (`--external mnt[path]:id`)
+- **Restore**: Use `--join-ns mnt:/proc/1/ns/mnt` to join target's mount namespace
+- **Result**: Target pod's mounts (managed by kubelet) are used directly
+
+**CRIU Bug Fix**: Fixed a bug in CRIU 4.0 where `--join-ns mnt` was not working correctly. See [CRIU_JOIN_NS_MNT_BUG_FIX.md](../criu_build/CRIU_JOIN_NS_MNT_BUG_FIX.md) for details.
+
+### Storage Strategy
+
+**During Dump**:
+- Upload ALL checkpoint files to S3, including `pages-*.img`
+- Even though pages are served via page-server during migration, they must be in S3 for lazy-pages daemon
+
+**During Restore**:
+- Download only metadata files from S3 (core, mm, files, etc.)
+- Skip downloading `pages-*.img` (too large, loaded on-demand)
+- Lazy-pages daemon fetches pages from S3 as needed
+
+**Benefit**: Fast restore startup time (~1-2 seconds) with on-demand page loading
+
+### AWS Credentials Strategy
+
+- **Regular S3**: Uses IAM roles or public access (no credentials needed in CRIU command)
+- **Express One Zone**: Requires explicit credentials (`--aws-access-key`, `--aws-secret-key`)
+- Agent conditionally includes credentials based on storage type
+
