Pilot setup failure (excluded from authentication-event dataset)

First attempted pilot script at guest 2026-10-10T19:09:26Z found that the
RAM-only Alpine live image had loopback administratively DOWN and no
IPv4 loopback address because no network initialization was requested.
The first two planned successful actions and one planned benign typo
returned ssh client status 255 with the authentic client error:
"ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 2222: Network unreachable"
`ip addr` showed "lo: <LOOPBACK> ... state DOWN" with no inet address.

No authentication outcome was inferred from these transport failures.
The corrected script explicitly configures 127.0.0.1/8 on lo and brings
lo up. A fresh VM reset ensures the published authentication-event
dataset comes from one subsequent execution, without pilot log mixing.
No external interface or network route was enabled by the correction.
