The ACL-based approach didn't work because libvirt creates per-VM
swtpm dirs with mode 0111, which caps the ACL mask to --x, making
the libvirt-qemu:rwx ACL ineffective.
The real fix is configuring libvirt's swtpm_user and swtpm_group
in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf so libvirt creates swtpm state dirs
owned by libvirt-qemu directly.
Updated scripts/fix-swtpm-permissions.sh to:
- Set swtpm_user="libvirt-qemu" and swtpm_group="libvirt-qemu"
- Fix ownership of any existing stale state dirs
- Restart libvirtd to apply changes

Added scripts/fix-swtpm-permissions.sh that sets default ACLs on
/var/lib/libvirt/swtpm/ so new per-VM state directories inherit
libvirt-qemu access. This permanently fixes the "CMD_INIT: 0x9" error
caused by libvirtd creating swtpm dirs as root:root.
The user runs this ONCE with sudo. ACLs persist across reboots and
apply to all new VMs automatically.
Updated vm_create error message to reference the fix script.
Updated AGENTS.md with corrected swtpm setup instructions.
