Name update

This is the bulk pre-beta cleanup pass. Bumps the workspace to 0.2.0.
Test count is 56 -> 66 (+10), clippy is fully clean across the
workspace (was several dozen warnings).

## New features

**Per-MAC host bindings** (Tinkerbell smee pattern). New
`HostBindings` registry maps a MAC -> preferred boot target, persisted
to <work_dir>/hosts.json. The DHCP reply now embeds `?mac=${mac}` in
the boot.ipxe URL; iPXE substitutes the literal MAC client-side, so
the HTTP layer can short-circuit straight to the bound target instead
of rendering the menu. Reserved menu shortcuts (`_local`, `_gate`,
`_tools_menu`) are valid targets too. New /api/hosts CRUD + a Hosts
tab in the sidebar.

**Prometheus `/metrics`** endpoint. Tiny lock-free implementation —
just AtomicU64s and a Display impl, no `prometheus` / `metrics-rs`
dep. Counters: DHCP replies (per arch label), DHCP declined, TFTP
transfers (per status), TFTP bytes, HTTP requests (per route).
Gauges: ISO count, client count, gate count, gate-imaging, NFS active
mounts, uptime, build info. Plain text exposition format,
text/plain;version=0.0.4 content-type, no auth (all metric values are
non-sensitive counts).

**Light + dark themes**. CSS tokens on `:root` and
`:root[data-theme=light]`, swap by toggle button (top-right) or `T`
hotkey. Persisted in localStorage; pre-paint inline script avoids
dark<->light flash. Light palette designed against the Netbox Labs
reference screenshot — near-white surfaces, soft grey dividers,
accent unchanged for brand consistency. Terminal pane stays dark in
both themes (it's a console, that's the right read).

**Animated SVG logo + forge widget**. New `logo.svg` is a refined
silver/grey anvil. New `anvil-forge.svg` adds rising sparks and a
pulsing underglow via SMIL — pure SVG, no GIF, no JS animation loop.
Used:
  - in the **forge progress** widget on Dashboard + Forge Gate, paired
    with a `linear-gradient(warn -> accent)` bar with a moving sheen;
    goes idle (greyscale, no sheen) at zero imaging load
  - in the page-load `<div class=loader>` that replaces the old
    "Loading..." text

## Code cleanup pass

`cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets` is now warning-free. Spot
fixes across the tree:
  - `format!()`-into-`String` -> `std::fmt::Write::write!`
  - manual reverse comparators -> `Reverse`
  - `map_or(false, ...)` -> `is_some_and`
  - redundant closures -> method references
  - `r#"..."#` raw strings without `"` -> `r"..."`
  - `std::io::Error::new(Other, ...)` -> `Error::other`
  - `as i32` on `c.id()` -> `cast_signed()`
  - merged identical match arms

## Windows workflow validation

New integration test synthesizes an ISO9660 with the SOURCES\\BOOT.WIM
sentinel, uploads it, asserts:
  1. introspection labels it `windows_pe` with has_boot_wim=true,
  2. the boot entry is `BootKind::Wimboot` with all five canonical
     files (bootmgr, bootmgr.efi, bcd, boot.sdi, boot.wim),
  3. the rendered iPXE script chains wimboot with `initrd --name`
     entries for each file, and
  4. NO trust-store strings appear in the rendered output: bcdedit,
     testsigning, certutil, httpdisk, and test-signed are all
     explicitly forbidden as a hard guarantee.

WinPE bootstrap (startnet.cmd) picks up the Bootimus v0.1.58 lessons:
explicit `net start Workstation` before `net use` to avoid the SMB
client lazy-init race, and surfaces errors instead of blind retries.

## Docs

architecture.md gains a "Phase 5" section explaining the host-bindings
+ metrics + theming + Windows-test work, plus a refreshed "deferred
to Phase 6" list (real-hardware integration, autounattend library,
distro profile manifest, WoL trigger, syslog receiver, IPv6).
README updates the status line, the "what it does" list, and adds
the new Hosts/Terminal tab names.

+//! Per-MAC host bindings.
+//!
+//! Inspired by the Tinkerbell `smee` "MAC-prepended URL" pattern: an
+//! operator can attach a preferred boot target (a `BootEntry::id`) to a
+//! specific MAC address. When a client with that MAC arrives, the
+//! top-level boot script chains straight to that target instead of
+//! showing the interactive menu.
+//!
+//! Use cases:
+//! - "This rack of Dell servers always images with Ubuntu Server 24.04"
+//! - "Tom's laptop always boots from local disk"
+//! - "Bench QA machines always boot Memtest until released"
+//!
+//! Persisted to `<work_dir>/hosts.json`. Like the SettingsStore, on-disk
+//! corruption falls back to an empty registry rather than failing
+//! startup — a bad hosts file should never block PXE for the network.

+# Phase 6 — recommendations
+
+The v0.2.0 cut leaves OpenPXE in a state where the entire protocol stack
+and operator UI are exercised by 66 automated tests, the container is
+multi-arch buildable, and the image ships at ~97 MB. What's left before
+this looks and feels like a 1.0 product is mostly **real-hardware
+validation** plus a small batch of features that can only sensibly be
+designed once we've watched real machines image.
+
+This doc is a punch list, ordered by what I'd do first if I had a week.
+
+## Tier 1 — must-do before we call anything "stable"
+
+### 1. Real-hardware validation matrix
+
+We have CI tests for every protocol leg, but no end-to-end PXE on real
+firmware. Build a small matrix:
+
+| client                              | firmware  | OS family  | pass criteria             |
+|-------------------------------------|-----------|------------|---------------------------|
+| any 10-y-old mini-PC                | Legacy BIOS | Ubuntu Server 24.04 | gets to GRUB / installer   |
+| Intel NUC / similar                 | UEFI x64  | Windows 11 | reaches "where do you want to install" |
+| Raspberry Pi 4                      | UEFI ARM64 | Raspberry Pi OS    | gets to login prompt       |
+| Dell / HP business laptop          | UEFI x64  | Fedora     | one of: kernel boot or wimboot |
+
+Add a `docs/HARDWARE_VALIDATION.md` checklist that records what worked,
+firmware versions, and any quirks. Anything weird gets a regression
+test in the relevant crate.
+
+### 2. Boot menu hotkey + UI accessibility audit
+
+The iPXE menu has number-key + letter hotkeys but no documentation on
+what they map to. Generate a printable cheat-sheet from
+`crates/http-api/src/ipxe_script.rs` so operators don't have to read
+the source. Run a screen-reader pass over the web UI — most of it
+should be fine since we're mostly tables + form labels, but the
+Terminal pane and the SSE log output need explicit `aria-live`
+regions.
+
+### 3. Boot.wim re-patch detection
+
+Bootimus v0.1.62's "fingerprint of patched inputs + Save & Re-patch"
+pattern is a small but high-value feature: when an operator changes
+the SMB host override or upgrades wimboot, the existing patched
+boot.wim is silently stale. We should:
+
+- Hash the inputs (smb_host, smb_share, startnet.cmd content,
+  wimboot binary digest) into the IsoMeta;
+- Surface a "needs re-patch" warning on the Storage tab when the
+  hash drifts;
+- Add a "Re-patch SMB" button that re-runs the WimPatcher.
+
+## Tier 2 — features that round out pre-beta
+
+### 4. Auto-install file library
+
+iVentoy and Bootimus both support attaching `autounattend.xml` /
+`preseed.cfg` / `kickstart.cfg` to an image. The mechanics are
+straightforward: store files under `<work_dir>/autoinstall/<distro>/`,
+expose CRUD via `/api/autoinstall-files`, and modify the WimPatcher
++ Linux kernel cmdline to fetch + apply the right file. Placeholders
+worth supporting (Bootimus pattern): `{{MAC}}`, `{{HOSTNAME}}`,
+`{{IP}}`, `{{SERVER_ADDR}}`, `{{IMAGE_FILENAME}}`, substituted
+serve-side per request.
+
+### 5. Wake-on-LAN trigger
+
+A natural pair with per-MAC host bindings: bind a MAC to an image,
+then click "Wake & Image" to send the magic packet and let OpenPXE
+do the rest. Implementation is small (`udp/9` broadcast, magic packet
+construction) but it makes the bound-host workflow feel instant.
+
+### 6. Distro profile manifest
+
+Today, distro detection lives as Rust match arms in `introspect.rs`
+and the kernel cmdline templates live in `store.rs`. Bootimus extracts
+this into a JSON manifest that ships embedded in the binary AND is
+overridable by the operator at runtime — so a new distro can be added
+without rebuilding the container. Worth porting; it'd let community
+contributions land as PRs to a single JSON file.
+
+### 7. Syslog receiver
+
+`smee` ships one. The use case: WinPE / Linux installers can be
+configured to syslog over the network to the PXE server; if we have
+an endpoint and a place in the UI to view per-client diagnostics,
+post-mortem on a failed install gets dramatically easier.
+
+### 8. UEFI HTTP Boot validation
+
+Option 60 = `HTTPClient` is wired up in `decide()` already, but
+we've never tested it on real firmware. Some Dell + Lenovo UEFIs
+prefer it over PXE-via-TFTP. A quick check on a real machine
+(disable TFTP boot in firmware, force HTTP boot) and a regression
+test would be nice.
+
+## Tier 3 — bigger lifts, only if there's demand
+
+### 9. Pure-Rust SMB server
+
+`smbd` from Samba is ~80 MB of the runtime image. There are pure-Rust
+SMB2 server crates (`smbd-server`, `smb-rs`) of varying maturity.
+Replacing the dep would slim the image by ~40% and remove the
+`CAP_SYS_ADMIN` requirement for SMB. Worth a spike, not necessarily
+landable in Phase 6.
+
+### 10. IPv6 / DHCPv6
+
+PXE-over-IPv6 is real (RFC 5970). Some sites are v6-only. Worth
+implementing once we know we have one. Until then, IPv4-only is the
+right default — flipping the bit on v6 without v6 testing is asking
+for silent breakage.
+
+### 11. Multi-replica deployment
+
+The current design assumes one OpenPXE per broadcast domain. Two
+proxies on the same L2 will race; the deployment queue is in-memory, etc.
+For HA we'd need to:
+- Externalize the deployment queue (Redis, etcd) or lean into "the menu is
+  cheap to refetch if a replica dies";
+- Ensure DHCP proxy replies are deterministic so a client always
+  gets the same answer regardless of which replica replied;
+- Document the L2 collision domain story.
+
+This is a large lift and should only happen if someone's actually
+asking for it.
+
+### 12. Pi 4 / SBC quirks
+
+Raspberry Pi netboot uses a specific DHCP option-43 vendor field +
+TFTP path layout that OpenPXE doesn't currently special-case. There's
+a spec; the work is small once we have a Pi to test on.
+
+## What I'd skip
+
+- **A custom DHCP server (not proxy).** The proxy mode is the right
+  abstraction; full DHCP would need raw sockets + a lot of corner-case
+  handling for problems no operator wants us to solve.
+- **A pluggable backend abstraction à la Tinkerbell.** Tinkerbell does
+  it because they integrate with k8s CRDs. OpenPXE's "the file system
+  IS the database" model is simpler and good enough for the target
+  audience. Don't add a Backend trait until something asks for it.
+- **Multiple language UIs.** Bootimus added these in v0.1.62 and the
+  translations are LLM-generated. Skip until we have real users
+  asking for non-English.
+
+## Quick wins (could land in a single afternoon)
+
+- Add a Grafana dashboard JSON to `deploy/grafana/` driven off the
+  new `/metrics` endpoint.
+- A `openpxe bench` subcommand that runs a 10-second internal load
+  test (synthetic queue joins) so an operator can sanity-check tuning.
+- Ship a basic `docker-compose.yml` for the Unraid path that demos
+  the new themes / progress widget.
+- Generate a printable single-page operator runbook from the README
+  + architecture.md (e.g. `cargo xtask runbook`).

+# Runbook: Boot a Linux machine from an ISO over the network
+
+End-to-end walkthrough: spin up OpenPXE, load an Ubuntu (or any
+Linux) ISO into it, target a specific bare-metal or VM client by its
+MAC address, and have that machine PXE-boot the installer over the
+LAN — no USB stick, no console babysitting.
+
+This runbook assumes:
+
+- You have **one Linux host** to run the OpenPXE container (any
+  distro with Docker / Podman; 2 GB RAM, ~50 GB disk for the ISO
+  library).
+- That host sits on the **same broadcast domain / VLAN** as the
+  client you want to boot. PXE is L2-broadcast — routed/VLAN’d
+  networks need a DHCP relay and are out of scope here.
+- An **existing DHCP server** is already handing out IP leases on
+  that VLAN (your home router, OPNsense, Windows Server, etc.).
+  OpenPXE runs as a *DHCP proxy* — it never leases IPs, it only
+  layers the boot information on top of the existing DHCP exchange.
+- The target client is configured to **PXE-boot** in BIOS/UEFI
+  firmware (usually `F12` boot menu → Network, or set as first boot
+  device).
+
+If those don’t hold, stop and read [troubleshooting.md](troubleshooting.md)
+or [docs/architecture.md](../docs/architecture.md) first.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Pick your host’s LAN IP
+
+You need the IPv4 address OpenPXE will advertise to clients. From
+the host:
+
+```bash
+ip -4 -o addr show | awk '{print $2, $4}'
+```
+
+Pick the address on the interface that faces the PXE VLAN — for
+example `10.0.0.5/24` on `eno1`. From here on we call it
+`PXE_HOST_IP`.
+
+> **Why this matters.** Every URL handed to clients (TFTP server,
+> iPXE chain URL, ISO URL) is built from this IP. If OpenPXE
+> auto-detects the wrong interface or loopback, clients will fetch
+> from an unreachable address and silently fail. The startup will
+> *fail loudly* if it can only auto-detect a loopback address.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Run OpenPXE
+
+The MVP path is a single `docker run` against the published image,
+with `--network host` so the container can see DHCP broadcasts on
+the LAN.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/openpxe/isos ~/openpxe/work
+
+docker run -d --name openpxe \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  --network host \
+  -e OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.5 \
+  -e OPENPXE_DHCP_MODE=proxy \
+  -v ~/openpxe/isos:/var/lib/openpxe/isos \
+  -v ~/openpxe/work:/var/lib/openpxe/work \
+  ghcr.io/YOUR-ORG/openpxe:0.2.0
+```
+
+Substitute your `OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP`, of course. If you’re building
+from this repo instead of pulling, see the
+[README quick start](../README.md#quick-start--mvp-container-recommended).
+
+### Verify it’s alive
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS http://10.0.0.5/healthz   # → 200 ok
+curl -fsS http://10.0.0.5/readyz    # → 200 ready  (iPXE binaries present)
+curl -fsS http://10.0.0.5/api/status | jq .
+```
+
+If `/readyz` is **not** 200, your container is missing iPXE binaries.
+Fix that before going further — clients have nothing to boot
+otherwise. See [README — Container health probes](../README.md#container-health-probes).
+
+### Check the listening ports
+
+OpenPXE holds three privileged UDP/TCP ports. From another shell on
+the host:
+
+```bash
+sudo ss -lnup | grep -E ':(67|69|4011)\b'   # DHCP proxy + TFTP
+sudo ss -lntp | grep ':80\b'                # HTTP UI / boot scripts
+```
+
+All four should be present. If port 67 is taken by `dnsmasq` or the
+host’s own DHCP, stop that service or run OpenPXE on a separate box —
+two listeners on `:67` will fight.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Load the ISO
+
+Two options. Pick one.
+
+### 2a. Web UI upload (recommended for one-offs)
+
+1. Open `http://10.0.0.5/` in a browser.
+2. Sidebar → **Storage**.
+3. Click **Upload ISO**, pick e.g. `ubuntu-24.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso`.
+4. Wait for upload + introspection. The row turns into a card showing:
+   - Distro family (`debian_ubuntu`)
+   - Volume label
+   - Detected kernel/initrd paths (`/casper/vmlinuz`, `/casper/initrd`)
+   - File size and SHA-256
+
+Big ISOs stream — there is no 2 GB limit, but expect upload to be
+throttled by your browser ↔ host link. The UI shows a progress bar; the
+animated anvil on the Dashboard tab fires up while imaging is in
+flight.
+
+### 2b. Bulk seed from a directory (recommended for fresh deploys / CI)
+
+If you already have a folder of ISOs on the host, skip the browser:
+
+```bash
+# Dry run first — see what would be imported, no writes:
+docker exec openpxe openpxe seed \
+  --from /seed \
+  --dry-run
+
+# For real, mount the source dir read-only into the container:
+docker run --rm \
+  -v /my/iso-library:/seed:ro \
+  -v ~/openpxe/isos:/var/lib/openpxe/isos \
+  -v ~/openpxe/work:/var/lib/openpxe/work \
+  -e OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.5 \
+  ghcr.io/YOUR-ORG/openpxe:0.2.0 seed --from /seed
+```
+
+Each `*.iso` in `/seed` runs through the same upload pipeline as the
+web UI: copy → introspection → boot-entry generation → metadata
+sidecar. Re-running is idempotent.
+
+### Confirm the ISO is registered
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS http://10.0.0.5/api/isos | jq '.[] | {id, name, family, size}'
+```
+
+You should see something like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "ubuntu-24-04-1-live-server-amd64",
+  "name": "ubuntu-24.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso",
+  "family": "debian_ubuntu",
+  "size": 2748000000
+}
+```
+
+The `id` is the **slug**. Remember it — you’ll bind a MAC to it in
+the next step.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Find the target machine’s MAC address
+
+You need the MAC of the **NIC that will PXE**, not the OS’s
+loopback or wifi.
+
+### 3a. From the target itself (if it’s already running an OS)
+
+```bash
+ip -o link | awk '/ether/ {print $2, $17}'    # Linux
+```
+
+Pick the line for the wired NIC plugged into the PXE VLAN.
+
+### 3b. From the firmware (if it’s a fresh box)
+
+Most BIOS/UEFI screens display the NIC MAC during the network-boot
+attempt — usually as `MAC: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF` flashing on the splash
+right before "PXE-E53: No boot filename received". Write it down.
+
+### 3c. By letting it boot once and watching OpenPXE
+
+Easiest if the box is in front of you:
+
+1. Power on, hit `F12`, pick **Network boot**.
+2. Without any binding configured, the client will land on the
+   OpenPXE menu (Default / Installers / Tools / Queued Deployment).
+3. Don’t pick anything. On your laptop:
+   ```bash
+   curl -fsS http://10.0.0.5/api/clients | jq .
+   ```
+4. The most-recent entry is your target. Copy its `mac`.
+
+From here on we call this MAC `TARGET_MAC` (e.g. `aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff`).
+Hyphens vs colons, upper vs lower case — OpenPXE normalizes both.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Pin that machine to the Ubuntu ISO
+
+This is the **per-MAC host binding**. With it set, the client won’t
+see the menu at all — it goes straight to the bound boot entry,
+Tinkerbell-style.
+
+### 4a. Via the web UI
+
+1. Sidebar → **Hosts**.
+2. **Add binding**:
+   - **MAC**: `aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff`
+   - **Target**: pick `ubuntu-24-04-1-live-server-amd64` from the dropdown.
+   - **Label**: free-form, e.g. `lab-rack3-node07`.
+3. Save.
+
+### 4b. Via the API
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS -X POST http://10.0.0.5/api/hosts \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "mac":    "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff",
+    "target": "ubuntu-24-04-1-live-server-amd64",
+    "label":  "lab-rack3-node07"
+  }' | jq .
+```
+
+The binding is persisted to `~/openpxe/work/hosts.json` and survives
+container restart.
+
+### Confirm
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS http://10.0.0.5/api/hosts | jq '.[] | select(.mac=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff")'
+```
+
+You should see your entry with `created_at` and `updated_at`
+timestamps.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Trigger the network boot on the target
+
+Now actually boot the machine.
+
+### 5a. Boot order
+
+In firmware setup, set the wired NIC as the **first** boot device
+(or hold `F12` / `F9` / `Esc` — vendor-specific — to pick "Network
+Boot" interactively).
+
+### 5b. What you should see on the target screen
+
+In order, with timing:
+
+| Stage | Approximate duration | What appears |
+|-------|---------------------:|--------------|
+| Firmware DHCPDISCOVER | ~1 s   | `Start PXE over IPv4` / `Station IP address …` |
+| TFTP iPXE binary fetch | ~1 s  | `TFTP… snponly.efi` (or `undionly.kpxe` for legacy BIOS) |
+| iPXE banner            | ~1 s  | The blue iPXE splash, version string |
+| iPXE second-stage DHCP | ~1 s  | `Configuring (net0 …)` then `ok` |
+| HTTP boot script fetch | <1 s  | `http://10.0.0.5/boot.ipxe?mac=…` |
+| Per-MAC chain          | <1 s  | `OpenPXE: per-MAC binding -> ubuntu-24-04-1-…` |
+| Kernel + initrd HTTP   | 5–30 s | Two 200-OK fetches against `/iso/<id>/casper/vmlinuz` and `…/initrd` |
+| Kernel boot            | 5–10 s | Kernel banner, then the Ubuntu/cloud-init splash |
+| Installer comes up     | 30–60 s | The distro’s normal Live/installer environment |
+
+If everything works, you’re looking at the Ubuntu Server installer
+welcome screen end-to-end **without ever touching a USB stick**.
+
+### 5c. Watch it from the server
+
+In a third shell, tail the live log:
+
+```bash
+curl -N http://10.0.0.5/api/log/stream
+```
+
+You’ll see each protocol step as it happens:
+
+```
+INFO openpxe::dhcp: reply mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff arch=X8664Uefi target=tftp/snponly.efi
+INFO openpxe::tftp: RRQ snponly.efi blksize=1468 windowsize=8 → 982 KiB in 412 ms
+INFO openpxe::dhcp: reply mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (iPXE) target=http/boot.ipxe
+INFO openpxe::http: GET /boot.ipxe?mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff → host binding hit
+INFO openpxe::http: GET /iso/ubuntu-…/casper/vmlinuz Range=bytes=0- 200 OK 14 MiB
+INFO openpxe::http: GET /iso/ubuntu-…/casper/initrd  Range=bytes=0- 200 OK 75 MiB
+```
+
+The **Terminal** tab in the web UI shows the same thing live, plus a
+short whitelisted command palette (`status`, `clients`, `gate`,
+`hosts`, `log`).
+
+### 5d. Internet-side ISO sources
+
+The runbook title says “via the internet” — the **client** itself
+boots from your LAN, but the underlying ISO can come from anywhere
+your *host* can reach:
+
+- **Direct upload** from a remote workstation via the web UI (HTTPS
+  reverse-proxied if you put OpenPXE behind nginx/Caddy).
+- **NFS mount** of a remote share — Sidebar → **Storage** → **NFS** →
+  `nfs://files.lab.example.com/exports/isos`. Mounted ISOs show up in
+  the same list and are PXE-bootable directly without copying.
+- **Pre-seed** from a CI job that `curl`s a vendor mirror and runs
+  `openpxe seed --from`.
+
+OpenPXE itself never reaches out to the internet at boot time — all
+client traffic stays on the LAN, served from the host.
+
+---
+
+## 6. After the install
+
+Once Ubuntu has finished installing to the target’s disk, you want
+the next reboot to come up off the new local disk, **not** PXE
+again. Two ways:
+
+### 6a. One-shot — release the binding
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS -X DELETE http://10.0.0.5/api/hosts/aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
+```
+
+Without a binding, the client either gets the menu (BIOS still set
+to PXE first) or boots local disk normally.
+
+### 6b. Permanent — pin to local disk
+
+Re-bind to the reserved local-boot target:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS -X POST http://10.0.0.5/api/hosts \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{ "mac": "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", "target": "_local", "label": "lab-rack3-node07 (installed)" }'
+```
+
+Now if anyone hits `F12 → Network` by accident, OpenPXE replies
+with a script that says *"chain back to local HDD"* and the box
+boots its real OS instead of re-imaging itself. This is the safest
+default for production hardware.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Re-imaging — the “Queued Deployment” flow
+
+Different scenario: you have **a rack of 30 servers** to image
+identically, all at once. Don’t bind 30 MACs by hand. Use the gate.
+
+1. **Don’t** create host bindings.
+2. PXE-boot every machine. They land on the menu.
+3. On each: select **Queued Deployment**. They get position #1, #2,
+   …, #30 and start long-polling.
+4. In the UI: **Forge Gate** tab shows all 30 lined up. Pick the
+   ISO, click **Assign to all waiting**.
+5. Every client’s open long-poll wakes up at the same instant and
+   chains the same boot script. They all start imaging
+   simultaneously — the “horse race gate” opens.
+
+The animated anvil widget on the Dashboard runs while any client is
+still in the kernel-fetch phase.
+
+---
+
+## Cheat sheet
+
+| Goal | Command |
+|------|---------|
+| Health check | `curl http://$IP/healthz` |
+| List ISOs | `curl http://$IP/api/isos \| jq .` |
+| List clients seen | `curl http://$IP/api/clients \| jq .` |
+| Bind MAC → ISO | `POST /api/hosts` with `{mac,target,label}` |
+| Bind MAC → local disk | same with `target=_local` |
+| Release binding | `DELETE /api/hosts/<mac>` |
+| Live log | `curl -N http://$IP/api/log/stream` |
+| Prometheus metrics | `curl http://$IP/metrics` |
+| Bulk import folder | `openpxe seed --from /path` |
+
+---
+
+## Where to look when things break
+
+- **Client gets `PXE-E53: No boot filename received`** — DHCP proxy
+  isn’t replying. Check `:67` is bound (`ss -lnup`), check
+  `--network host`, check the host firewall on UDP 67/69/4011.
+- **iPXE shows `No more network devices`** — firmware NIC isn’t in
+  PXE mode, or VLAN tagging is wrong.
+- **iPXE prints `Connection timed out (http://…)`** — `OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP`
+  is wrong. Clients can’t reach that IP. Check `/api/status` →
+  `public_base_url` and `ping` it from the client subnet.
+- **Kernel panics during initrd load** — corrupt ISO upload. Check
+  `/api/isos`, compare the SHA-256 to the vendor’s, re-upload.
+- **Boot menu shows but the bound entry doesn’t fire** — the binding
+  target slug doesn’t match any ISO `id`. Recheck
+  `GET /api/hosts` against `GET /api/isos`. The binding falls back
+  to the menu on miss (by design — never lock a client out).
+- **General confusion** — Terminal tab → `status`, then `log`. That
+  tells you what protocol stages have run and which haven’t.
+
+For deeper protocol-level debugging, see
+[docs/architecture.md](../docs/architecture.md).
