Breaking clean cutover:
fdp/fdp-sysdependencies;virtualboxnow aggregatesvirtualbox-api+virtualbox-vmi; Linux CI covers each standalone method and aggregate cfg, Windows CI compilesvirtualbox-apionly;AccessMethodRequired; C keeps a validatedu32discriminant (0 = no VBox params, unknown values rejected without enum UB);0003-drop-fdp-access-method.mdand CHANGELOG breaking-removal entry.Platform note: both replacement methods currently work on Linux. Windows
virtualbox-apiis compile-only because rs-vboxapi loadsVBoxXPCOMC.so, notVBoxCAPI.dll; after FDP removal no VirtualBox runtime method works on Windows. Docs/artifact guide state this explicitly.Verification: Rust 1.99 fmt/clippy default/api/vmi/aggregate/aggregate-tests; lib/error/filter/utilities tests; Linux all-target aggregate check; Windows GNU api-only cross-check; Python 3.14 compile/unit/build/import; C header generation + 4 examples; CI YAML, Dockerfiles, mdbook. Cargo.lock/product/CI/container grep contains no FDP/icebox; only CHANGELOG and historical ADRs retain intentional mentions.
