Both had regressed back to the pre-2026-06-28-incident state: GPU_FLAGS used
--enable-gpu-rasterization on any node with a GPU, and CPUQuota was 75%.
On archy-x250-exp (Intel HD 5500 under X11) this spins a dedicated GPU
process at 55-92% CPU (falls back to software compositing anyway), and the
75% cgroup quota throttled the kiosk unit ~81% of the time (nr_throttled
4856/6005) — the exact CPU-starvation signature documented as the choppy-
audio root cause. Restores the validated fix: --in-process-gpu,
--num-raster-threads=1, GpuRasterization disabled via --disable-features,
CPUQuota=200%. Verified on archy-x250-exp: no separate gpu-process, throttling
dropped to ~3% (nr_throttled 14/503).

The kiosk chromium pinned ~92% of a core (software-compositing spin from
--enable-gpu-rasterization on a GPU-less/headless node), saturating the machine
and starving the backend + container builds — it caused the .198 receive timeout
and the deploy storms.
- archipelago-kiosk.service: CPUQuota=75% + MemoryMax/High + Delegate, so a
runaway kiosk can never take the whole node down.
- archipelago-kiosk-launcher.sh: detect /dev/dri — use GPU rasterization only
when a GPU exists, else --disable-gpu (avoids the headless spin).
- bootstrap::ensure_kiosk_hardened: OTA self-heal that installs the updated
unit+launcher on already-deployed nodes, daemon-reloads, and only try-restarts
a *running* kiosk (never re-enables an operator-disabled one).
cargo check clean; launcher bash -n clean; unit syntax valid.

1. FIPS auto-activate at server startup only fires if fips_key already
exists on disk, which on a fresh install is never true until AFTER
onboarding. By the time the user completes seed-generate/restore,
archipelago has been running for minutes and the startup task has
long since exited. User still had to hit Activate.
Fix: call spawn_post_onboarding_fips_activate() from the tail of
handle_seed_generate and handle_seed_restore — the moment the
fips_key materialises, a detached task runs `fips::config::install`
+ `archipelago-fips.service activate`. Logged only, never blocks
the onboarding RPC.
2. Kiosk health-poll window was 30 × 2s (configs/ copy was 60 × 2s
but unused — the heredoc in build-auto-installer-iso.sh is what
actually lands on disk). On .198's slower hardware archipelago
/health wasn't ready within 60s, so Chromium launched against a
not-yet-running backend → blank window until manual reboot. Bumped
to 150 × 2s (5 min) + TimeoutStartSec=360. .253 was already well
within the window; this protects the slower box too. Standalone
configs/archipelago-kiosk.service updated in lockstep so the two
copies don't drift.

1. nostr-vpn still failing despite last mask attempt — confirmed in
the 6th ISO's rootfs.tar: the .service file was present but
not in multi-user.target.wants. Previous `systemctl mask` silently
no-oped because the real file was already there. Fixed properly
with explicit `rm -f` + `ln -sf /dev/null` for nostr-vpn,
archipelago-wg, and archipelago-wg-address — same /dev/null
symlink state that `mask` would produce on a clean install.
2. Kiosk didn't come up on first boot, only on reboot. Extended the
ExecStartPre health-poll from 30s → 120s (unbundled ISO takes
longer to settle on first boot: archipelago initializes state,
pulls FileBrowser, frontend settles), raised TimeoutStartSec to
180s, and added After=systemd-user-sessions.service +
After=network-online.target so X / Chromium aren't racing.
3. /init: line 29: can't create /root/etc/network/interfaces error
on installer boot — debootstrap --variant=minbase omits ifupdown
so the target has no /etc/network/ directory, and live-boot's
init tries to seed it. Non-fatal but noisy. Added ifupdown +
isc-dhcp-client to the debootstrap --include list.

- Added new dependencies: `adler2`, `crc32fast`, `flate2`, `miniz_oxide`, and `libredox`.
- Updated existing dependencies: `tokio-rustls` to version 0.26.4 and `filetime` to version 0.2.27.
- Removed the `backup.rs` file as it is no longer needed.
- Introduced tests for configuration and credential management.
- Enhanced the `identity` module to generate W3C compliant DID documents.
