feat(kiosk): graphics tiers + Settings knob; network map kiosk mode
Demo images / Build & push demo images (push) Successful in 3m51s

The animated federation map froze the framework-pt 4K TV: the launcher
held every machine to the HD 5500-era choppy-audio flags (single raster
thread, GpuRasterization banned) while the map wrote SVG attrs at 60fps.

- Launcher: two flag tiers. legacy = the proven conservative set; modern
  (Intel gen8+, 'NNth Gen' models, AMD Ryzen) = default raster threads +
  GPU rasterization. Classified from /proc/cpuinfo (11 model strings
  covered by tests in-session); KIOSK_GRAPHICS=performance|quality in
  kiosk-display.conf overrides; headless unchanged. Reaches deployed
  kiosks via the include_str! self-heal, same as the vsync fix.
- system.kiosk-display.get/set: carries a 'graphics' field alongside
  'preset'; setting one no longer clobbers the other.
- Settings → Display: Graphics picker (Auto / Compatibility / Quality).
- NetworkMap3D: kiosks default to the 2D projection (remembered toggle
  still works) and tick at half rate with carried-over deltas — same
  spin speed, half the paint cost.
- Changelog: curated Unreleased notes for all of the above + the gate
  frame-embedding fix.

# Changelog
## Unreleased
- **Apps that refused to open inside the dashboard now embed like everything else.** Some apps ship browser headers that forbid being shown inside another page — correct hardening on the open web, but inside Archipelago it produced a dead grey pane when you opened them from My Apps (Alby Hub was the first to hit it). The app gate, which already checks your login on every request to an app, now removes just those framing headers on the way through; each app's own content-security rules pass through untouched. No more per-app proxy workarounds.
- **The network map no longer freezes kiosk TVs.** The animated federation map at 4K was too much for the deliberately conservative graphics settings the on-screen display used on every machine — settings chosen years back to stop audio crackle on much older hardware. Two fixes: on kiosk screens the map now opens in its flat 2D view (the 3D globe is one tap away, and remembered) and animates at half rate — invisible from the couch, half the work. And the display itself now recognizes what machine it runs on: older kiosk boxes keep the proven careful settings, modern ones finally get real GPU rendering.
- **New Settings → Display → Graphics choice for the on-screen display.** Auto (recommended) picks the right rendering mode for the machine by itself; Compatibility forces the most conservative mode if a screen ever stutters, tears, or crackles; Quality forces full GPU rendering on hardware the automatic detection doesn't recognize. Changing it restarts the on-screen display, like the size presets.
## v1.8.0-alpha (2026-08-12)
- **Archipelago is now open source.** The full source code of the node you are running — the orchestrator, the dashboard, the app platform, the mesh, the release tooling — is published for anyone to read, build and audit at source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy. A node that holds your money, your files and your communications should not ask to be taken on faith: from this release onward you, or anyone you trust, can see exactly what it does and follow every change we make in the open.
