That shape needs a vpcs build that also refuses to auto-configure the host side of the TAP (``-n``): without the flag every ``ip`` command inside the guest runs ``ifconfig … up`` on the anchor — the server owns the anchor's addresses and bridge membership, so a vpcs touching them ranges from noise (an ifconfig on a name that cannot resolve) to sabotage (reconfiguring an interface that does exist). The probe asks the configured binary for its usage (``vpcs -h``) and looks for the ``-n`` line, caching the answer by binary identity (path, mtime, size, ctime) exactly like the uBridge probes — the same binary never answers differently, but replacing it must re-probe. This feeds the compute ``/capabilities`` payload (``vpcs_tap``) so the controller can gate VPCS kernel links on it. Never raises: any failure (missing binary, timeout) means unknown, reported as None and cached as such — the safe answer keeps the node on the relay datapath.
