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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>

-//!    `{ 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.

-//! Operator-logo compositor for the iPXE menu.
+//! PXE boot-menu background compositor.
 //!
-//! The brief: match iVentoy's polished centered-logo PXE chrome with
-//! whatever raster the operator drops onto Settings → Branding. A wide
-//! wordmark, a portrait stack, a square monogram — all three should
-//! land in roughly the same place on the boot screen.
+//! 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:
 //!
-//! Approach: decode the operator's upload, fit it into a fixed
-//! 1024×768 canvas with the logo horizontally centered and pinned a
-//! short margin from the top, re-encode as PNG, return the bytes. iPXE
-//! built with `IMAGE_PNG` paints the result via `console --picture`.
+//!   - 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.
 //!
-//! The 1024×768 size matches the default VESA framebuffer iPXE picks
-//! on most BIOS/UEFI consoles. Operators uploading 4K logos get
-//! correctly downscaled; tiny icons get drawn at their native size,
-//! centered, with transparent margins.
+//! 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.
 //!
-//! We deliberately don't ship `resvg` for SVG support — keeping the
-//! dependency surface narrow matters more than supporting SVG-only
-//! brand assets. The WebUI's logo stays SVG-native (the browser
-//! rasterizes it); the PXE menu wants a raster regardless.
+//! 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.

+# 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
