v0.5.2: FleetDM login split, 3-slot branding, unattended installs

Authentication / login:
- Separate the local username/password form from the SSO "Sign in with …"
  button (FleetDM-style divider + optional IdP logo); credential fields no
  longer double as the SSO trigger. Settings → SSO copy now says SAML is live.

Branding — three slots (light / dark / client) on one row:
- Light/Dark feed the top-left mark + sign-in page by active theme (with
  cross-theme fallback; theme toggle swaps the logo live). Client feeds the
  PXE boot-menu background. Favicon pinned to the bundled mark via a new
  /assets/favicon.svg endpoint. Legacy single logo migrates to dark + client.
- BrandingStore refactored to per-slot storage; /api/branding/logo/:slot.

Unattended installs (Storage → Advanced):
- New UnattendedStore (iso-store) + /api/unattended upload/list/delete and a
  public templated serve at /unattended/:id (+ NoCloud seed dir for
  autoinstall). Accepts .ks/.cfg/.seed/.yaml/.yml/.xml/user-data; classified
  on upload; stored in its own unattended/ dir, never the ISO listing/menu.
- {{HOSTNAME}}/{{IP}}/{{MAC}} substituted per host at serve time.

Host pins + Queue profiles:
- HostBinding + QueueEntry carry an optional DeployProfile (auto_hostname /
  auto_ip / unattended_file). Hosts pin form + a per-device Queue "Profile"
  button collect them. On boot, a matched MAC has the right kernel arg
  injected (inst.ks= / preseed url= / autoinstall ds=nocloud-net) and the
  hostname/IP templated into the served answer file. DHCP stays proxy-only.

Storage:
- Remote shares default protocol is now NFS; updated descriptive copy.

235 tests green, clippy clean. Still a single static musl binary, pure Rust.

+//! This module owns only the *configuration* (validation + persistence

+//! already carries an HTTP client and the SMTP dependency. Keeping the
+//! network I/O out of `core` matches how `BrandingStore`/`SsoStore`
+//! stay pure config stores.
+//!
+//! Secrets note: the SMTP password is persisted in `notify.json`
+//! alongside the rest of the config (0644 like the other state files).
+//! It is never echoed back through the API — the snapshot used for the
+//! GET response blanks it (see `Self::redacted`).

+//! This module implements the SP half of a SAML Web-Browser-SSO profile:
+//!
+//! * [`metadata`] — parse the IdP's `EntityDescriptor` (SSO URLs + signing
+//!   certificates) and build *our* SP metadata for the IdP admin to import.
+//! * [`authn_request`] — build an `AuthnRequest` and encode it for the
+//!   HTTP-Redirect binding.
+//! * [`response`] — decode a `SAMLResponse`, **verify its XML signature**
+//!   against the IdP's pinned certificate (via the pure-Rust `bergshamra`
+//!   crate — no OpenSSL/libxml2/xmlsec, so the static musl binary stays
+//!   C-free), then enforce the SP-side semantic checks (Status, Destination,
+//!   Audience, time bounds) that are where SAML SPs actually get attacked.
+//!
+//! Stateful checks (replay of assertion IDs, correlating `InResponseTo`
+//! against requests *we* issued, gating IdP-initiated login) live in the
+//! HTTP layer — [`response::consume`] is deliberately stateless and returns
+//! the IDs the caller needs to perform them.
+//!
+//! Access model: any assertion the IdP authenticates and we cryptographically
+//! verify yields an operator [`VerifiedPrincipal`]. OpenPXE is single-tier —
+//! there is no per-user role table — and the local admin account remains a
+//! guaranteed fallback owner regardless of SSO state.

+//! end-to-end (see [`crate::saml`]): SP-initiated AuthnRequest, the ACS
+//! endpoint, pure-Rust signature verification, and operator-session
+//! minting. This module owns only the persisted *configuration*.
+//!
+//! Shape borrowed from <https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet>'s app-config
+//! SSO block, minus the user-RBAC fields (OpenPXE is single-tier: any
+//! IdP-authenticated user the SP cryptographically verifies gets an
+//! operator session; there is no per-user role table). Entity ID is
+//! exposed (FleetDM-style) but defaults to the advertised public base
+//! URL when blank, which is what most IdPs expect anyway.

+//! Wake-on-LAN.
+//!
+//! v0.5.0: from the Hosts tab, an operator can wake a bound machine.
+//! WoL is a "magic packet" — six `0xFF` bytes followed by the target
+//! MAC repeated sixteen times (102 bytes total) — broadcast on the
+//! local segment. The NIC's WoL logic matches the repeated MAC and
+//! powers the board on.
+//!
+//! ## Why this is trivial and safe in our container
+//!
+//! - It's a single UDP datagram to a broadcast address. No privileged
+//!   *local* port is needed (we bind an ephemeral source port); the
+//!   destination port is conventionally 9 (discard) or 7 (echo), and
+//!   nothing actually listens there — the magic is in the payload, not
+//!   the port. So WoL works without any extra capability.
+//! - We send to the limited broadcast `255.255.255.255` (stays on the
+//!   local link) and, when the caller knows the server's own subnet
+//!   broadcast, to that too — directed broadcast reaches the right VLAN
+//!   even when the host bridges multiple segments.
+//!
+//! ## Limits
+//!
+//! WoL only crosses L2. If the target is on a different subnet than the
+//! OpenPXE host, the intervening router must be configured to forward
+//! directed broadcasts (most aren't, by design). For the common case —
+//! OpenPXE and its PXE clients on the same VLAN — the limited broadcast
+//! is enough.

-//! NFS share manager.
-//!
-//! Lets an operator mount a remote NFS export as an ISO source instead of
-//! uploading every ISO into the container's PVC. Supports NFSv3 and
-//! NFSv4.1 — the two versions the user explicitly asked for.
-//!
-//! ## How it works
-//!
-//! 1. Operator submits a mount spec via the Storage tab:
-//!    `{ server: "10.0.0.20", export: "/srv/isos", version: "v41" }`.
-//! 2. We slugify a stable id, mkdir `<work_dir>/nfs/<id>/`, then shell out
-//!    to `/bin/mount -t nfs -o vers=...,ro,nolock server:export local`.
-//! 3. On success we walk the mount point looking for `*.iso` files and
-//!    register each one with the `IsoStore` as an external source — same
-//!    introspection pipeline as a web upload, but no sha256 (the bytes
-//!    live on a remote machine; hashing them would suck them through the
-//!    network on every restart).
-//! 4. On failure we record `last_error` on the spec and persist anyway
-//!    so the UI can show a row in red rather than silently dropping it.
-//!
-//! ## Operational notes
-//!
-//! - Mounting NFS inside a container needs `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` and the
-//!   `nfs-common` package. The default image ships these (see Dockerfile).
-//! - On OpenShift, the SCC must allow `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. The bundled SCC
-//!   doesn't — operators have to opt in by switching to a more privileged
-//!   SCC or running NFS mounts as a CSI driver outside the pod.
-//! - Mount commands are issued sequentially under a single mutex to avoid
-//!   `mount` racing on the same target dir.
-//!
-//! ## Persistence
-//!
-//! Mount specs (without runtime state) live at `<work_dir>/nfs.json`,
-//! re-mounted on startup. Mounts that fail to come back online keep their
-//! spec and their `last_error` so the operator sees what happened.

+//! PXE boot-menu background compositor.
+//!
+//! The brief (v0.4.69): match iVentoy's polished graphical PXE screen.
+//! iPXE built with `CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER` + `IMAGE_PNG` paints a PNG to
+//! the framebuffer via `console --picture`, then draws the text menu on
+//! top (the console's default background colour is rendered transparent
+//! so the picture shows through the menu's blank cells). So what we
+//! produce here is a **full-screen 1024×768 background**, not just a
+//! floating logo:
+//!
+//!   - a solid dark field (matches the WebUI dark theme so the product
+//!     feels consistent from browser to bare metal), with
+//!   - the operator's uploaded logo composited across the top, leaving
+//!     the lower ~two-thirds clear for the iPXE menu text.
+//!
+//! When no custom logo is uploaded we still return a designed
+//! background — a dark field with a centered "rainbow-horizon" disc
+//! echoing the bundled OpenPXE mark — so the boot screen is graphical
+//! out of the box. This replaces the old ASCII wordmark entirely.
+//!
+//! iPXE does **not** scale pictures (confirmed against the decoder
+//! source): the image is painted at native pixel size and the firmware
+//! picks the smallest video mode that fits. 1024×768 is the universal
+//! safe mode, so we pin the canvas there. Operators uploading a 4K logo
+//! get it downscaled to fit the top band; tiny icons paint at native
+//! size, centered.
+//!
+//! Input formats: anything the `image` crate decodes with our enabled
+//! features — PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF. iPXE itself only consumes PNG, so
+//! we always *emit* PNG regardless of what the operator uploaded; a
+//! WebP logo is transcoded here transparently.

+# PXE menu theme — research for next-release follow-up
+
+Status: queued. v0.4.63 keeps the ASCII-banner fallback + `console --picture`
+compositor wired; this note captures the design for the menu-theming work
+that lands once iPXE rebuilt with `IMAGE_PNG` is published.
+
+## How iVentoy actually does it
+
+iVentoy is closed-source for its menu, but the supporting bits are
+public at https://github.com/ventoy/PXE — a vanilla iPXE snapshot
+(`iPXE/ipxe-bd13697`) used to produce the loader binaries iVentoy
+serves over TFTP (`pxeboot.efi`, `iventoy_loader_16000`,
+`iventoy_loader_16000_uefi`).
+
+The graphical menu itself is rendered by iPXE's framebuffer console
+with a baked-in PNG background via `console --picture` — same
+primitive OpenPXE already uses in `crates/http-api/src/ipxe_script.rs`.
+Evidence:
+
+- The iPXE build in `ventoy/PXE` is configured with `CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER`
+  + `IMAGE_PNG` + `CONSOLE_CMD` (the three flags `console --picture`
+  needs).
+- iVentoy issue #11 confirms "iventoy using default 1024x768"; users
+  report 800x600 / 1024x768 / 1280x720 / 1280x1024 / 1920x1080 as
+  selectable resolutions from the iVentoy web UI **Configuration tab**,
+  not via EDID auto-detect. iPXE has no EDID parsing; the daemon writes
+  a resolution-tagged script per boot and serves the matching PNG.
+- iVentoy docs explicitly state both Free and Pro editions **do not
+  support** modifying the boot background/title — it's baked into the
+  shipped PNG assets.
+- Chrome is iPXE's native `menu` / `item` / `choose` widgets (single
+  highlight bar, no borders) painted on top of the PNG, with margins
+  set via `console --left/--right/--top/--bottom` to keep the text off
+  the logo. Not GRUB, not syslinux — UEFI iVentoy uses iPXE's
+  `snponly.efi` / `pxeboot.efi`, and `--picture` does work under UEFI
+  GOP despite older folklore.
+
+Do not conflate this with Ventoy-USB, which is a separate codebase and
+uses GRUB2 themes (`theme.txt`, `background_ventoy.png`, `select_c.png`).
+
+## Rust ingredients to replicate / surpass
+
+Most of these already exist in the workspace.
+
+1. **Compositor (extend, don't replace)** — extend
+   `crates/iso-store/src/pxe_logo.rs` to emit per-resolution PNGs
+   (1024x768, 1280x1024, 1920x1080 as the v1 set). `image` +
+   `imageproc` crates handle scaling; `ab_glyph` / `fontdue` for raster
+   text (subtitle, hostname, version). One source SVG/logo, three to
+   five rendered PNGs cached on disk.
+2. **Script generator** — `ipxe_script.rs` already emits
+   `console --picture … || console`. Add a `?res=` query param (or
+   per-MAC client hint persisted in `hosts.json`) and serve the matching
+   PNG plus matching `console --x --y` line. Keep the text-console
+   fallback already in place.
+3. **Resolution selection** — iPXE exposes `${vesa-x}` / `${vesa-y}` on
+   BIOS; UEFI side we can probe firmware vars at chain-time. The simpler
+   v1 is a "low-res / hi-res" toggle in Settings plus a per-host
+   override — mirrors iVentoy's UX, no kernel helper needed. True EDID
+   parsing is overkill for the first cut.
+4. **Chrome upgrades over iVentoy** — iPXE menus are limited (single
+   highlight, no borders). To look distinctly cooler without leaving
+   iPXE: paint border / title / footer **into the PNG**, leave a window
+   in the middle, then `console --left/--right/--top/--bottom` to inset
+   the iPXE menu exactly into that window. ASCII box-drawing inside the
+   menu remains fragile (iPXE mangles non-ASCII on some builds — already
+   noted in `ipxe_script.rs`).
+
+## Recommended architecture for the next OpenPXE release
+
+- Build a `pxe_theme` module beside `pxe_logo.rs`: takes operator logo
+  + theme tokens (accent colour, title, footer) and renders a layered
+  PNG (background gradient → framing chrome → logo → title bar → footer
+  with `${hostname}` / `${version}` / `${ip}`) at the three target
+  resolutions. Cache by hash of inputs.
+- Serve at `/branding/pxe-menu-{w}x{h}.png`. Default 1024x768; expose a
+  Settings dropdown.
+- In `ipxe_script.rs`, emit
+  `console --picture …/pxe-menu-1024x768.png --left 80 --right 80 --top 180 --bottom 60 || console`,
+  then the existing `menu` / `item` / `choose` block — text now lands
+  inside the framed window.
+- Compile iPXE with `CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER`, `IMAGE_PNG`, `CONSOLE_CMD`,
+  `CONSOLE_VESAFB` (BIOS) and `CONSOLE_EFIFB` (UEFI). The v0.4.61 image
+  attempted this in-Docker via QEMU emulation and hit `cc1` segfaults.
+  The follow-up will use a Gitea Actions runner pinned to native
+  `linux/amd64` (an Unraid host already exists for this).
+- Stretch goal: a second "theme pack" that ships a layered PNG with
+  subtle scanlines / grid — iPXE can't animate, but a well-designed
+  static composite beats iVentoy's plain centered logo handily.

+# OpenPXE v0.5.1 — SAML SSO wiring + Settings/Storage UI consolidation
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-31
+**Author:** Miles Ward (with Claude)
+**Status:** Approved design → implementation
+
+## Summary
+
+Three workstreams for v0.5.1:
+
+1. **Wire SAML 2.0 SSO** end-to-end (currently config is persisted but no runtime
+   sign-in exists). Pure-Rust implementation that preserves the static-musl /
+   no-OpenSSL architecture, mirroring how FleetDM exposes and handles SAML.
+2. **Fold the Advanced sidebar tab into Settings** as a collapsible section.
+3. **Merge the Storage tab's SMB and NFS cards** into one "Remote shares" card
+   with a protocol dropdown.
+
+Then bump `0.5.0 → 0.5.1`, build the static musl image, push `:0.5.1` + `:latest`
+to Gitea, create the release, and scrub registry credentials.
+
+## Decisions (locked with the user)
+
+- **Crypto:** pure-Rust via `bergshamra` (XML-DSig + exclusive c14n, RustCrypto-based,
+  `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`, ~99% xmlsec interop). `samael` is rejected — it
+  hard-requires OpenSSL/`xmlsec`/`libxml2` C deps, which would break the static
+  musl binary and the project's pure-Rust / no-OpenSSL architecture.
+- **Access model:** any SAML assertion the IdP successfully authenticates and that
+  we cryptographically verify mints a full operator session. No user table, no
+  roles, no domain allowlist. The local admin account remains a guaranteed
+  fallback owner regardless of SSO state.
+- **Flows:** SP-initiated (the "Sign in with <IdP>" button) is always on.
+  IdP-initiated is supported but gated behind an `allow_idp_initiated` toggle
+  (default off), mirroring FleetDM's "Allow SSO login initiated by identity
+  provider."
+
+## Scope boundaries (v0.5.1)
+
+In scope: SP-initiated + (gated) IdP-initiated login, signature verification on the
+SAML Response/Assertion, full SP-side semantic validation, SP metadata endpoint,
+login-page button wiring.
+
+Out of scope (note for later releases): EncryptedAssertion (assertions must be
+unencrypted), signed AuthnRequests (sent unsigned; Keycloak "client signature
+required" must be off), Single Logout (SLO), multi-user accounts / RBAC / JIT role
+mapping.
+
+---
+
+## Workstream 1 — SAML SP wiring (pure-Rust)
+
+### New dependencies (workspace)
+
+- `bergshamra` — XML-DSig verification + exclusive c14n (pure Rust).
+- `roxmltree` (read/navigate) and/or `quick-xml` (build/serialize) — parse IdP
+  metadata + SAMLResponse, build AuthnRequest and SP metadata.
+- `x509-parser` — extract the IdP signing certificate / public key from metadata.
+- `flate2` — raw DEFLATE for the HTTP-Redirect binding.
+- `base64` — encode/decode SAMLRequest/SAMLResponse.
+
+All pure-Rust → the `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` static build stays OpenSSL-free.
+Exact `bergshamra` function signatures (`verify`, `DsigContext`, `KeysManager`,
+`Key`, `VerifiedReference`, `VerifyResult`) will be pinned against the installed
+crate source during implementation.
+
+### Module boundaries
+
+Pure protocol logic lives in `openpxe-core` (no axum dependency, unit-testable);
+HTTP wiring lives in `openpxe-http-api`.
+
+- `crates/core/src/saml/mod.rs` — public surface + shared types
+  (`VerifiedPrincipal { email, display_name, name_id, session_index }`, `SamlError`).
+- `crates/core/src/saml/metadata.rs` — parse IdP `EntityDescriptor`: IdP EntityID,
+  `SingleSignOnService` locations + bindings, and one or more X.509 signing
+  certificates. Also build **our** SP metadata XML.
+- `crates/core/src/saml/authn_request.rs` — build an AuthnRequest, return both the
+  request ID (to track) and the encoded HTTP-Redirect query value
+  (deflate → base64 → URL-encode).
+- `crates/core/src/saml/response.rs` — decode `SAMLResponse` (base64 → XML),
+  **verify the signature via bergshamra** against the IdP cert, then enforce SP
+  semantics, returning `VerifiedPrincipal` or a typed `SamlError`.
+
+### SP-side validation (response.rs)
+
+After a cryptographically valid signature over the Response and/or the Assertion:
+
+1. `Status` is `Success`.
+2. `Destination` (if present) equals our ACS URL.
+3. `Conditions/AudienceRestriction/Audience` equals our SP EntityID.
+4. `NotBefore` / `NotOnOrAfter` within bounds (allow small clock skew, e.g. ±60s).
+5. `InResponseTo` matches an outstanding request we issued (SP-initiated). Absent
+   for IdP-initiated, which is only accepted when `allow_idp_initiated` is true.
+6. Assertion-ID replay guard: reject a previously consumed assertion ID.
+7. NameID is the email (`nameid-format:emailAddress`). Display name read from
+   common attributes (`name`, `displayname`, `cn`, `urn:oid:2.5.4.3`).
+
+XML Signature Wrapping (XSW) defenses come from bergshamra (duplicate-ID rejection,
+strict positional verification); enable its strict verification options. We
+additionally confirm the verified `Reference` covers the element we read claims from.
+
+### State (in `openpxe-http-api`)
+
+Two small TTL-pruned in-memory stores (parking_lot `Mutex<HashMap<...>>`):
+
+- **Outstanding requests:** `request_id → issued_at`, TTL ≈ 5 min, for `InResponseTo`.
+- **Consumed assertions:** `assertion_id → expires_at`, TTL = assertion validity,
+  for replay protection.
+
+(In-memory is acceptable: a single-container app; a restart simply invalidates
+in-flight logins.)
+
+### Routes (all pre-auth; added to the public allowlist in the auth middleware)
+
+- `GET /api/sso/login` → build AuthnRequest, record its ID, 302 to the IdP SSO URL
+  (HTTP-Redirect binding) with `SAMLRequest` + `RelayState`.
+- `POST /api/sso/acs` → consume `SAMLResponse` (form-encoded). Verify + validate.
+  On success: `SessionStore::create(email)`, set the `openpxe_session` cookie
+  (same attributes as forms login), 302 to the dashboard. On failure: 302 back to
+  the login page with an error indicator. (Mirrors FleetDM's `/sso/callback`.)
+- `GET /api/sso/metadata` → serve our SP `EntityDescriptor` XML for IdP import.
+
+### Config changes (`crates/core/src/sso.rs`)
+
+Add to `SsoConfig` (preserve existing fields + validation):
+
+- `entity_id: String` — SP Entity ID (mirrors FleetDM's "Entity ID"); defaults to
+  the configured public base URL. The ACS URL is derived as
+  `<public_base_url>/api/sso/acs`.
+- `allow_idp_initiated: bool` — default `false`.
+
+`GET /api/sso` returns the new fields; `PUT /api/sso` validates and persists them.
+
+### Login page (`crates/webui/src/app.js`)
+
+Replace the "configured · runtime pending" message: the existing
+"Sign in with <IdP>" button navigates to `GET /api/sso/login`. Render the IdP logo
+(if `idp_logo_url` set) and use `idp_name` as the label. Keep the existing
+FleetDM-style login layout.
+
+### Testing
+
+- `core/saml` unit tests using a self-signed test keypair we control:
+  - Parse representative Keycloak IdP metadata → correct SSO URL + cert.
+  - Build an AuthnRequest → well-formed, deflate/base64 round-trips, ID recorded.
+  - A correctly signed Response → `VerifiedPrincipal { email, .. }`.
+  - Reject: tampered signature, expired (`NotOnOrAfter`), wrong audience,
+    replayed assertion ID, unsigned response, `Status != Success`.
+- `http-api` integration test: `GET /api/sso/login` returns a 302 with a
+  `SAMLRequest` query param; a crafted signed `SAMLResponse` POSTed to
+  `/api/sso/acs` (signed with the test key) sets an `openpxe_session` cookie.
+
+---
+
+## Workstream 2 — Advanced tab → Settings
+
+- Remove the `Advanced` sidebar entry (`crates/webui/src/index.html`) and its
+  `advanced` view route in `app.js`.
+- In the Settings view, append a **collapsible "Advanced" disclosure**
+  (default-collapsed) at the bottom containing the existing **Webhook
+  Notifications** card and the **API reference** block (moved out of the removed
+  Advanced view).
+- No backend changes; `/api/notify*` and `/api/docs` endpoints are unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Workstream 3 — Storage: merge SMB + NFS → "Remote shares"
+
+- Replace the separate "SMB shares" and "NFS shares" cards with a single
+  **"Remote shares"** card:
+  - One add-form with a **protocol dropdown (SMB / NFS)**. Selecting the protocol
+    swaps the fields: SMB → server, share, guest checkbox, username, password;
+    NFS → server, export path.
+  - One unified table with a leading **Protocol** column (SMB/NFS badge), then
+    server/share-or-export, auth, ISO count, reachability, and Re-scan / Remove
+    actions.
+- **No backend changes.** The form dispatches to the existing
+  `POST /api/smb-shares` or `POST /api/nfs-shares`; the table merges
+  `GET /api/smb-shares` + `GET /api/nfs-shares`, tagging each row with its
+  protocol. Re-scan/Remove call the existing per-protocol endpoints.
+- Leaves the card pattern open for a future "Config files" card.
+
+---
+
+## Release
+
+1. Bump workspace version `0.5.0 → 0.5.1` (`Cargo.toml`).
+2. `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy`, `cargo test` (all crates) green.
+3. Build the static musl binary + Docker image; verify SAML deps compile clean
+   under musl (no OpenSSL/C linkage).
+4. Push `openpxe:0.5.1` + `openpxe:latest` to Gitea via the established
+   temp-DOCKER_CONFIG pipeline; scrub credentials (logout + verify no token traces).
+5. Create the Gitea release `v0.5.1` with notes.
+
+## Risks
+
+- `bergshamra` is pre-1.0 and unaudited. Mitigation: pin the version, enable strict
+  verification, keep the local-admin fallback, and own the SP-semantic checks
+  carefully (audience/Conditions/replay/InResponseTo — where SP vulns usually live).
+- SAML is security-sensitive; negative tests (tamper/expiry/audience/replay/unsigned)
+  are part of the definition of done, not optional.

+# Build PNG-enabled iPXE binaries from source.
+#
+# Why from source: the official boot.ipxe.org binaries (and the
+# Debian-packaged ones) are NOT built with CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER +
+# IMAGE_PNG + CONSOLE_CMD, so `console --picture` is a no-op on them —
+# you can't paint a graphical boot-menu background. iVentoy solves this
+# by shipping its own iPXE build with exactly those three flags; we do
+# the same, from upstream iPXE, with a thin auditable config delta
+# (deploy/ipxe/local/{general,console}.h).
+#
+# Why a real cross-compiler instead of QEMU: building amd64 iPXE by
+# emulating an amd64 gcc under QEMU on an arm64 host intermittently
+# segfaults cc1 (the reason this was stuck for ~8 releases). Running a
+# NATIVE arm64 gcc that cross-targets x86_64 (CROSS_COMPILE=
+# x86_64-linux-gnu-) sidesteps emulation entirely — the compiler is a
+# native binary, it just emits x86_64 objects. This stage is meant to
+# run on $BUILDPLATFORM (the native builder arch), NOT the emulated
+# target platform.
+#
+# Outputs (into $DEST), using the filenames OpenPXE's arch mapping
+# expects:
+#   snponly.efi   x86_64 UEFI, PNG-enabled
+#   ipxe.efi      x86_64 UEFI, PNG-enabled (bundled drivers)
+#
+# We build ONLY x86_64 UEFI, always via the x86_64 cross toolchain
+# (`x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc`). That's deliberately host-arch-agnostic: it
+# works whether this stage runs on an arm64 Mac builder or an amd64 CI
+# runner, because the cross compiler runs native and emits x86_64
+# either way. Building arm64-efi or BIOS here would re-introduce a
+# dependency on the host arch (native arm64 build) or a 32-bit multilib
+# toolchain — so those arches keep their upstream-fetched (no-PNG)
+# binaries and fall back to the menu's clean `|| console` text screen.
+# Modern PXE clients are overwhelmingly x86_64 UEFI, which get the full
+# graphical background.
