feat(saml): wire SAML 2.0 SSO end-to-end (pure-Rust) + Settings/Storage UI consolidation (v0.5.1)

SAML SSO (the config was storage-only since v0.4.5; now it logs you in):
- New openpxe-core::saml — pure-Rust SP built on bergshamra (XML-DSig +
  exclusive c14n via RustCrypto, no OpenSSL/xmlsec/libxml2). The static
  musl binary stays C-free; samael was rejected for hard-requiring OpenSSL.
  * metadata.rs   — parse IdP EntityDescriptor (SSO URLs + signing certs),
                    build our SP metadata.
  * authn_request.rs — build + HTTP-Redirect-encode AuthnRequests.
  * response.rs   — verify the signature against the pinned IdP cert
                    (trusted_keys_only + strict_verification for XSW),
                    then enforce Status/Destination/Audience/time-bounds/
                    signature-scope. Stateless; returns the IDs the HTTP
                    layer needs.
- http-api saml_routes: GET /api/sso/login (302 to IdP), POST /api/sso/acs
  (verify -> InResponseTo correlation / IdP-initiated gating / assertion
  replay guard -> mint operator session -> 302), GET /api/sso/metadata.
  Added to the pre-auth allowlist; /api/sso config stays gated.
- SsoConfig gains entity_id (SP Entity ID, defaults to public base URL)
  and allow_idp_initiated (default off), mirroring FleetDM.
- Access model: any IdP-authenticated, cryptographically-verified user gets
  an operator session (single-tier; local admin remains the fallback owner).
- Login page: the "Sign in with <IdP>" button now drives the real flow and
  surfaces sso_error redirects.

UI consolidation:
- Removed the Advanced sidebar tab; folded its webhook-notifications +
  API-reference cards into a collapsible "Advanced" disclosure at the
  bottom of Settings.
- Merged the Storage tab's separate SMB and NFS cards into one "Remote
  shares" card with a protocol dropdown and a unified, protocol-badged
  table. No backend changes — same /api/smb-shares + /api/nfs-shares.

Tests: 17 SAML core tests (accept + reject tampered/unsigned/wrong-key/
wrong-audience/expired/future/wrong-issuer/non-success) and 6 ACS
integration tests (happy path, IdP-initiated gating, SP correlation,
replay, garbage). Full workspace: 206 tests green, clippy clean.

+//! Webhook / email notification configuration.
+//!
+//! v0.5.0: OpenPXE can ping a chat webhook or send an email when
+//! something noteworthy happens (a machine PXE-booted an image, a
+//! deployment was assigned, a WoL was sent). One active provider at a
+//! time, chosen by `kind` — dead-simple for an L1 tech: pick Slack,
+//! paste the incoming-webhook URL, done.
+//!
+//! This module owns only the *configuration* (validation + persistence
+//! to `<work_dir>/notify.json`). The actual sending — HTTP POST for the
+//! chat providers, SMTP for email — lives in the http-api crate, which
+//! 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.

+//! 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.

+# 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.

+#
+# 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

+# (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

+# works whether this stage runs on an arm64 Mac builder or an amd64 CI

+# toolchain — so those arches keep their upstream-fetched (no-PNG)
