+/// This volume's representation is then base64-encoded and added as the only option to a new, singular Mount entry,
+/// which becomes the sole item in the returned Vec<Mount>.
+/// This ensures that when guest pull is active, the root filesystem is exclusively configured via this virtual volume.
