Miles WardandClaude Opus 4.8 f6eddd59f8 v0.4.69: PNG boot-menu background (iPXE built from source), NFS AUTH_SYS, FleetDM logo 
Three things, headlined by the long-blocked graphical PXE menu.

## 1. Graphical PXE boot background — the iVentoy feature, finally

iVentoy paints a PNG background on the PXE screen using stock iPXE
built with CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER + IMAGE_PNG + CONSOLE_CMD; the public
iPXE binaries omit those, so `console --picture` is a no-op on them.
We now build our own iPXE from upstream with that thin config delta
(deploy/ipxe/local/{general,console}.h).

The 8-release blocker was cc1 segfaulting when an amd64 gcc ran under
QEMU emulation on the arm64 build host. Fix: a new `ipxe-build`
Dockerfile stage pinned to $BUILDPLATFORM (native arch — no emulation)
that cross-compiles x86_64 iPXE with CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux-gnu-.
The compiler runs native and emits x86_64. Validated end-to-end:
png.o + fbcon.o + pixbuf.o all compile and link (confirmed via the
linked-ELF symbol table, not just strings), ~112s, no segfault. Host
tools needed libc6-dev (dropped by --no-install-recommends; without
it the native host compile falls through to iPXE's freestanding
headers and dies on bits/stdint.h — fixed).

Server side:
- pxe_logo.rs is now a full-screen background compositor: a dark field
  (matching the WebUI theme) with the operator's uploaded logo across
  the top, or — with no upload — a default OpenPXE rainbow disc drawn
  with pure pixel math (no font/SVG deps). Always 1024x768 (iPXE
  doesn't scale; this is the universal mode). WebP/JPEG/GIF/PNG in,
  PNG out (iPXE only eats PNG).
- /branding/pxe-logo always returns a PNG now (default when no logo,
  default when SVG) so the menu always has a background.
- render_menu uses `console --picture … --top 290 || console`: paints
  the background and reserves the logo band on PNG-capable binaries
  (x86_64 UEFI), cleanly falls back to text on the others. The ASCII
  wordmark is GONE.

Only x86_64 UEFI is built from source (host-arch-agnostic cross build);
BIOS/i386/arm64 keep upstream-fetched no-PNG binaries + text fallback.
Modern clients are overwhelmingly x86_64 UEFI.

## 2. NFS AUTH_SYS credential — fixes NFS3ERR_ACCES

v0.4.68's privileged-port fix got past MNT3ERR_ACCES (mount); operators
then hit NFS3ERR_ACCES on READDIR because nfs3_client defaults to
AUTH_NONE and virtually every server exports sec=sys. We now present an
AUTH_UNIX credential (uid 0 / gid 0): no_root_squash servers treat us
as root, root_squash servers map us to anon which reads any
world-readable ISO share. Kept fixed (no UI knob) to stay dead-simple.
Hint updated: a remaining NFS3ERR_ACCES is now a server-side
permission/squash issue, not IP/auth-flavor.

## 3. FleetDM-style full-width logo (top-left)

When a custom logo is uploaded the sidebar header drops the bundled
mark + "OpenPXE" wordmark and lets the logo span the header
(left-aligned, capped 200x50, contain). Rendered server-side via a
brand-class in index_html (has_custom_logo) so there's no flash of the
default. The bundled-default case is unchanged.

Tests: 164 passing. clippy -D warnings clean. iPXE build stage
validated in isolation before the full image build.

Miles Ward e3452fe976 v0.3.0 — rebrand: PXEForge → OpenPXE, Gated → Queued Deployment 
Full rename to match the openpxe.com brand. The product now reads as a
polished open-source project rather than a personal-tool nickname:
the anvil/forge metaphor is gone, replaced with the rainbow-horizon
brand mark from the marketing site.

## Naming changes

**PXEForge → OpenPXE** everywhere it's user-visible or developer-
facing:
- All 8 crate package names (`pxeforge-*` → `openpxe-*`).
- The bin crate dir + binary (`crates/pxeforge` → `crates/openpxe`,
  `bin = "openpxe"`).
- Env vars: `PXEFORGE_*` → `OPENPXE_*` (no compat shim — pre-beta).
- Tracing targets: `pxeforge::*` → `openpxe::*`.
- Prometheus metrics: `pxeforge_*` → `openpxe_*` (pre-beta; nobody
  has dashboards on these yet).
- Container image: `gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/openpxe:0.3.0`.
- All in-tree paths: `/var/lib/openpxe/{isos,work,smb}`,
  `/usr/share/openpxe/ipxe`, `/etc/openpxe/...`.
- Unraid template renamed `pxeforge.xml` → `openpxe.xml`.
- README, NEXT_PHASE.md, architecture.md, comments, and the WebUI
  brand string.

**Gated Deployment → Queued Deployment** as the user-facing concept:
- `Settings::TimeoutAction::GatedDeployment` →
  `QueuedDeployment` (with `#[serde(alias = "gated_deployment")]`
  so v0.2.0 settings.json files keep deserializing).
- Rust types: `Gate` → `QueueEntry`, `GateQueue` → `DeploymentQueue`,
  `GateInner` → `QueueEntryInner`.
- File: `crates/core/src/gate.rs` → `crates/core/src/queue.rs`.
- HTTP routes: `/api/gate/*` → `/api/queue/*`. The JSON list key
  flipped from `"gates"` to `"entries"` to match.
- iPXE shortcut: `/boot/_gate.ipxe` → `/boot/_queue.ipxe`. The
  top-level menu's item id is now `queue` instead of `gate`.
- WebUI sidebar tab: "Forge Gate" → "Queue".
- Field on `AppState`: `gates` → `queue`.

## Brand assets

The anvil + forging-sparks logos are dropped:
- `logo.svg` is now a 24×24 medallion filled with the
  `rainbow-horizon` gradient from openpxe.com (sliding hue rotation
  via SMIL on the gradient stops, no JS needed).
- `anvil-forge.svg` renamed to `loader.svg` and rebuilt as a 64×64
  louder version of the same disc — used for page-load transitions
  and the imaging-progress widget. Adds a subtle scale pulse and a
  white inner-glow so it has dimensionality on either theme.

## CSS rename

- `.forge-progress` → `.queue-progress`
- `.forge-progress .anvil` → `.queue-progress .mark`
- `@keyframes forge-sheen` → `queue-sheen`
- `.loader .anvil` → `.loader .mark`
- "Heating the forge…" loader text → "Loading…"

The rest of the layout is untouched. Light/dark theme tokens and the
sidebar/topbar structure carry over from v0.2.0 unchanged — the
brief was "keeping the UI similar."

## Validation

- `cargo build --workspace` — clean.
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets` — no warnings.
- `cargo test --workspace` — **66 tests passing**, same as v0.2.0.
- Local smoke run against the rebuilt release binary verifies:
  - `/boot.ipxe` emits `Queued Deployment` + `item queue` + chains
    `/boot/_queue.ipxe`
  - `/api/queue` returns `{count, entries}`
  - `/metrics` emits `openpxe_queue_count` (renamed)
  - `/assets/logo.svg` and `/assets/loader.svg` serve the new
    rainbow brand SVGs
  - `/api/status` reports version `0.3.0`

## Migration notes for operators on v0.2.0

- Container image path changed: pull
  `gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/openpxe:0.3.0` (not `pxeforge:`).
- Bind mounts: `/var/lib/openpxe/{isos,work,smb}` (not `pxeforge`).
  Move the host path or update the template.
- Env vars: replace `PXEFORGE_*` with `OPENPXE_*`. The Unraid
  template at `deploy/unraid/openpxe.xml` is already updated.
- `settings.json` carries over transparently — the
  `gated_deployment` value is accepted as an alias.
- HTTP API: any external scripts that hit `/api/gate/*` need to
  switch to `/api/queue/*`. The JSON envelope key is `entries`
  instead of `gates`.

Miles Ward 083277faae Add Unraid quickstart: build-and-publish script + Docker template 
Three paths from "Gitea-on-Unraid + a built repo" to "Unraid pulls
PXEForge by tag":

1. scripts/build-and-publish-unraid.sh — one-shot run on the Unraid
   host. Clones from local Gitea (http://localhost:3000), runs the
   iPXE fetch, docker build, docker login + push to Gitea's container
   registry. Token never lands in the host's ~/.docker/config.json:
   we set DOCKER_CONFIG to a tempdir and rm -rf it on exit. Token
   never lands in `ps`/bash history either: --password-stdin.

2. deploy/unraid/pxeforge.xml — Docker template for the Unraid UI.
   Forces NetworkType=host (PXE needs raw L2 broadcast — bridge mode
   doesn't work, full stop), declares the right cap-add, and surfaces
   PXEFORGE_PUBLIC_IP / PXEFORGE_LOG as configurable variables.

3. deploy/unraid/README.md — three documented paths (registry, compose
   from cloned repo, docker load from tarball) and the gotchas that
   actually bite (DHCP collision, host networking, perms on
   /mnt/user/appdata, NFS-needs-CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

The build host I'm running on can't reach Unraid right now (LAN moved
to a different subnet) and the Cloudflare WAF skip rule on
gitea.milesward.dev doesn't yet cover /v2/* or /git-{upload,receive}-pack
paths, so the publish has to happen from the Unraid host itself for now.
This commit is what makes that one-shot.

Miles Ward cc309da062 Initial commit: PXEForge Phases 1-4 
Container-native PXE boot server in Rust, designed as a clean-room
alternative to iVentoy that never touches the client OS trust store.
This is the first commit of the project; it lands the full output of
Phases 1, 2, 3, and 4 in one shot.

## Phase 1 — protocol stack

- 8-crate workspace (core, dhcp-proxy, tftp, http-api, iso-store,
  ipxe-assets, webui, pxeforge bin).
- DHCP proxy (RFC 4578): replies with boot info only, never leases —
  sidesteps CAP_NET_RAW. Architecture-aware bootfile selection from
  option 93 (BIOS, IA32, x64-UEFI alias 0x0007/0x0009, ARM64).
- TFTP server with full OACK negotiation: blksize, tsize, windowsize.
  Without it a 1 MiB iPXE binary takes 2000 packets and unusably long.
- Two-stage iPXE chain: firmware PXE -> TFTP iPXE binary -> iPXE
  re-DHCPs with user-class iPXE -> HTTP /boot.ipxe -> kernel+initrd.
- HTTP server (axum) with byte-Range ISO streaming and an in-place
  ISO9660 lookup so kernel/initrd are served from inside the ISO
  without ever extracting it to disk.
- Linux ISOs boot via kernel+initrd extraction (memdisk/sanboot fail
  for >1-2 GiB modern distros). Distro-family detection drives the
  cmdline (Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Alpine).

## Phase 2 — UX + Windows

- Hierarchical PXE menu (Default / Installers / Tools / Gated
  Deployment) generated from settings — no hand-written .ipxe paths
  surface in the UI. Number-key + letter hotkeys, BIOS+UEFI variants
  for some RHEL ISOs.
- Gated Deployment "horse-race" queue: clients join, operator picks
  one ISO, every gate launches simultaneously via tokio::sync::Notify.
- Bootimus-pattern Windows: WimPatcher injects a CRLF startnet.cmd
  into boot.wim so vanilla WinPE net-uses an SMB share and runs
  setup.exe. All Microsoft-signed; no test certs, no testsigning,
  no httpdisk.sys. SmbManager supervises smbd start/stop/SIGHUP.
- Netbox-style dark UI, fully offline (no CDN, no external fonts).

## Phase 3 — MVP hardening

- TFTP retransmit rewrite with explicit window tracking — UEFI SNP
  clients no longer hang on files that end mid-window. 4 new tests.
- DHCP broadcast-flag honored per RFC 2131 §4.1.
- Multi-arch container (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64). Entrypoint chowns
  bind-mounts as root then drops to uid 10001 via gosu.
- /healthz + /readyz split from /api/status — readyz fails if no
  iPXE binaries are bundled.
- pxeforge seed --from <path> CLI: same pipeline as web upload (slug,
  sha256, introspection, boot-entry).
- All timestamps RFC 3339 (browser Date couldn't parse the 9-tuple).
- Gate poll retains assignment until operator releases — clients that
  retry on transient network errors reuse the assignment instead of
  falling back to the menu.
- Custom OpenShift SCC: hostNetwork + NET_BIND_SERVICE only, no
  NET_RAW.

## Phase 4 — UI restructure + remote storage

- Web UI rebuilt around six tabs inspired by the iVentoy layout:
  Dashboard / Network / Forge Gate / Storage / Terminal / About.
  Old "Monitoring/Content/Configuration" sidebar groups are gone.
- NFS share manager (crates/iso-store/src/nfs.rs): mount NFSv3 or
  NFSv4.1 shares as ISO sources instead of uploading every file
  into the PVC. New IsoSource enum on IsoMeta lets the store resolve
  Local vs NFS lazily. Persisted to <work_dir>/nfs.json; failed
  mounts surface in the UI rather than blocking startup.
- Dockerfile gains nfs-common + iproute2; mounting NFS in-container
  also requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Documented in docs/architecture.md.
- LogBus + tracing layer in core: 500-line ring buffer + broadcast
  channel feed an SSE endpoint at /api/log/stream.
- Operator terminal at /api/terminal: whitelisted commands (status,
  isos, clients, gate, nfs, smb, log) — deliberately not a shell.
  Output mirrored onto the LogBus so the live tail and the terminal
  pane share one timeline.
- Network tab: read-only nic_name / subnet_mask / gateway probed
  from `ip` at startup; only DNS server is editable. Editing IP/mask
  on a hot UI would silently break PXE for every client mid-boot.
- Bootimus parity (releases v0.1.55 -> v0.1.62): amber row tint on
  un-bootable ISOs with inline reasons, dashboard "won't boot" panel.

## Tests

56 tests passing across the workspace:
- 16 core (LogBus, gate, settings, arch, client)
- 1 dhcp-proxy (raw option-93 extraction)
- 8 http-api unit (range parsing, terminal split/format)
- 13 http-api integration (gated deployment, range, settings, NFS,
  terminal, log SSE, network endpoint, ui assets, no-external-urls)
- 12 iso-store (introspect, slugify, smb, windows wim, NFS options)
- 6 tftp (RRQ parsing, plan_window edges)

cargo build --workspace and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
both finish clean (warnings only, no errors).
