CI now runs a headless QEMU boot test after the smoke test:
- Boots ISO with -nographic, captures serial output
- Watches for "Press Enter to start installation" (pass)
- Detects kernel panic or initramfs shell (fail)
- 120 second timeout, runs as continue-on-error
Also: updated iso-debug reference with embedded vs appended EFI
findings from real hardware testing.

Root cause of USB boot failure: our xorriso used -e boot/grub/efi.img
to embed the EFI image inside the ISO. This works for CD-ROM and QEMU
but NOT for USB on real UEFI hardware.
Fix: use the Will Haley / Debian live-build approach:
- -append_partition 2 (GPT type EFI) appends efi.img AFTER ISO data
- -e --interval:appended_partition_2:all:: references the appended partition
- --mbr-force-bootable forces MBR active flag
- grub-mkstandalone with embedded bootstrap config (searches for grub.cfg)
- grub.cfg placed in both /boot/grub/ AND /EFI/BOOT/ on ISO
- grub.cfg uses search --label ARCHIPELAGO to find the ISO root
This is the exact approach used by StartOS, TAILS, and every production
custom Debian live ISO that boots from USB.
Also: iso-debug, iso-branding skills + reference docs, dev-start.sh
option 0 for branding dev, improved dev-branding.sh and test-iso-qemu.sh.

- Correct off-by-one in UID mapping: container UID N → host UID
(100000 + N - 1), not (100000 + N)
- Deploy script auto-fixes UID ownership on every deploy
- Bitcoin UI nginx uses __BITCOIN_RPC_AUTH__ placeholder injected
from secrets at deploy time
- container rules updated for rootless podman architecture
