Add an RFC document describing the composable image architecture that replaces monolithic guest rootfs images with a lean base image plus purpose-specific addon images cold-plugged as virtio-blk devices. The proposal covers the runtime configuration (extra_images), host-side cold-plugging, guest-side mounting via systemd and dm-verity, agent-side dynamic path resolution, the image build pipeline, and the security model.
