v0.6.0: bootable-ISO polish + close the 0.5.x chapter

Builds on v0.5.9's El Torito detection to make the boot menu honest and
clean, and confirms generic El Torito ISOs (ESXi/VMvisor installers, BSDs,
firmware tools) boot via iPXE sanboot with no special-casing:

- generate_boot_entries: an Unknown-family ISO now produces a sanboot entry
  only when it's actually bootable — it carries an El Torito catalog, OR it's
  a remote-share ISO we couldn't introspect (rev 0, assumed bootable). A
  locally-introspected ISO with no boot catalog (a data/appliance image like
  a VMware vCenter Server Appliance bundle) yields NO entry, so it stays out
  of the iPXE menu instead of offering a pick that always fails. ESXi
  installers (Unknown family + El Torito) surface under the installer menu
  and sanboot the raw ISO — backed by HTTP range reads, so size is moot.
- Dropped the stale "(SAN boot — may fail for >1GiB ISOs)" disclaimer and
  refreshed the SanBootIso doc: sanboot is the primary path for Windows and
  any El Torito image, and HTTP range reads remove the size limit.
- WebUI: renamed the dashboard panel "Images that won't boot with current
  settings" -> "Non-bootable images" (there's no setting that would make a
  data/appliance ISO boot).
- Tests: el_torito catalog detection + boot-entry generation across the
  ESXi / VCSA / remote-share cases.

Full v0.5.0->v0.5.9 compatibility sweep: clippy clean; entire workspace test
suite green (core 96, http-api 31+68, iso-store 61, dhcp 1, tftp 6, bin 2);
app.js syntax-checked.

-## What it does
+---
 
-1. **DHCP proxy** (RFC 4578). Coexists with your existing DHCP server —
-   never assigns IPs. Listens on UDP 67 + UDP 4011.
-2. **TFTP server** (RFC 1350 + RFC 2347/2348/2349/7440 option negotiation)
-   that serves architecture-specific iPXE binaries to firmware PXE ROMs.
-3. **HTTP server** that serves the web UI, the generated iPXE boot scripts,
-   raw ISOs (with Range), and files inside ISOs without prior extraction.
-4. **ISO introspection**: auto-detects the distro family and generates the
-   appropriate kernel+initrd or wimboot chain. No manual config.
-5. **Hierarchical PXE menu** mirroring the Phase 2 spec:
-   ```
-   Default        > Boot from Local HDD
-   Installers     > Linux Installers  / Windows Installers
-   Tools          > Utilities / OpenPXE Shell / Network Card Info
-   Queued Deployment
-   ```
-6. **Queued Deployment queue** — the coordinated launch flow. A client that
-   selects *Queued Deployment* gets a numbered position and waits. The
-   operator picks an ISO in the web UI and fires it to every waiting
-   client simultaneously.
-7. **Web UI** (Netbox-style): sidebar nav (Dashboard / Network / Queue /
-   Storage / Hosts / Terminal / About), light + dark themes
-   (toggle top-right or press `T`), animated OpenPXE progress
-   widget when devices are imaging. All assets served from the binary —
-   no external requests.
-8. **Per-MAC host bindings.** Pin a MAC to a boot target and the client
-   skips the menu, chains straight through.
-9. **Prometheus metrics** at `/metrics` — DHCP replies by arch, TFTP
-   transfer counts and bytes, HTTP request counts by route, queue /
-   imaging gauges, uptime, build info. Plain text exposition format,
-   no external metrics framework dependency.
-8. **Settings API** lets you change the default boot-menu timeout (default
-   600s), the timeout action (stay / Local HDD / Queued Deployment), and
-   feature toggles like Windows ISO support. The iPXE scripts regenerate
-   on every request using current settings.
+OpenPXE turns bare-metal provisioning into a single container with a web UI. It's a
+ground-up Rust reimplementation of [iVentoy (ventoy/PXE)](https://github.com/ventoy/PXE),
+designed for Docker/OCI and OpenShift instead of a Windows desktop — so it drops onto
+an Unraid box, a Linux server, or a Kubernetes cluster and just runs.
 
-### Architectures supported on day one
+Upload `.iso` files (or point at a remote share), and any machine on the network boots
+them — Linux installers, live tools, or stock Windows setup — with **zero iPXE knowledge
+required by the operator.**

-UEFI firmware that sends `HTTPClient` in option 60 is handled too — we
-skip TFTP and respond with an HTTP URL.
+## Why OpenPXE
 
-## Quick start — MVP container (recommended)
+Standing up network boot the traditional way means hand-wiring `dnsmasq`, a TFTP daemon,
+hand-written iPXE menu scripts, an HTTP server, and Samba — then keeping that fragile
+stack alive, and discovering none of it containerizes cleanly (kernel-mount NFS, raw
+sockets, `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`). iVentoy solved the UX beautifully, but it's a Windows GUI app.
+
+OpenPXE collapses that whole stack into **one statically-linked binary in one container**:
+
+- **A web UI does everything.** iPXE is an internal implementation detail — there is no
+  script upload, no `.ipxe` editing, no PXE jargon in the interface.
+- **It runs anywhere a container runs.** No kernel modules, no privileged mode — proxy-mode
+  DHCP + `NET_BIND_SERVICE` is the entire requirement. Verified on Unraid, plain Docker,
+  and OpenShift's restricted SCC.
+- **It's air-gap native.** Zero CDN assets, zero outbound calls from the server, browser,
+  or generated boot scripts. Build the image once, run it forever, disconnected.
+
+## Highlights
+
+#### Boot stack
+- **DHCP proxy** (RFC 4578) that coexists with your existing DHCP — it never hands out IPs.
+- **TFTP** (RFC 1350 + 2347/2348/2349/7440 option negotiation) serving arch-correct iPXE firmware.
+- **HTTP** serving the UI, generated boot scripts, raw ISOs (with byte-range), and files
+  *inside* ISOs with no prior extraction.
+- **Graphical iPXE boot menu** built from your uploads, with a PNG background and a clean
+  hierarchy — generated fresh on every request from current settings.
+
+#### ISO management & remote libraries
+- **Drag-and-drop chunked uploads** that don't 502 on multi-GB images.
+- **Automatic introspection** — detects the distro family and generates the right
+  kernel+initrd or Windows `wimboot` chain. No manual config.
+- **Remote ISO libraries, streamed on demand** (no local cache) over **SMB, NFS, or SFTP** —
+  see the table below.
+
+#### Fleet deployment
+- **Queued Deployment** — clients join a queue and wait; the operator fires one image at
+  every waiting machine simultaneously.
+- **Per-MAC host bindings** — pin a MAC straight to a target (with optional auto hostname,
+  auto IP, and an unattended answer file); it skips the menu and chains through.
+- **Unattended installs** — upload Kickstart / Preseed / Autoinstall / Windows answer files;
+  they're templated per-host (hostname / IP / MAC) and served only to booting clients.
+- **Windows deployment** from a stock Microsoft ISO — **every binary the client runs stays
+  Microsoft-signed** (details below).
+
+#### Operations & access
+- **SAML 2.0 single sign-on** (pure-Rust SP, no OpenSSL/xmlsec) alongside local accounts.
+- **Custom branding** — light / dark / PXE-client logos and favicon.
+- **Notifications** — Slack / Teams / Discord webhooks and SMTP email on boot events.
+- **Prometheus `/metrics`**, a built-in operator **terminal**, live tracing log, and
+  `/healthz` · `/readyz` probes.
+- **Layered config** — defaults → TOML file → `OPENPXE_*` env, in that order.
+
+## Built in Rust
+
+Rust isn't a checkbox here — it's why OpenPXE deploys the way it does:
+
+- **One static binary, ~18 MB.** Compiled to `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` — no glibc, no
+  interpreter, no sidecar runtime. The runtime image is "binary + a few CLI tools."
+- **No garbage collector, async throughout.** A Tokio runtime drives DHCP, TFTP, HTTP, and
+  many concurrent multi-GB ISO streams on a tiny, predictable memory footprint — it idles
+  near-zero and never GC-pauses mid-transfer.
+- **Memory-safe by construction.** `unsafe` is **denied workspace-wide**; the only
+  exceptions are two small, individually-audited FFI calls (`statvfs` for disk usage and a
+  Samba `SIGHUP`).
+- **OpenSSL-free, pure-Rust crypto.** TLS via `rustls`/`ring`; the SAML Service Provider
+  does XML-DSig verification with RustCrypto — no `xmlsec`, no `libxml2`, no C crypto to
+  CVE-patch. Even the SMB/NFS/SFTP clients avoid C libraries.
+- **Sub-minute, reproducible container builds.** Cross-compiled with `cargo-zigbuild`
+  (zig as the linker) — a full image builds in well under a minute on a warm cache, with
+  no QEMU emulation.
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Run the container
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Pull bundled iPXE binaries (~2 MB, one-time).
-./scripts/fetch-ipxe.sh
+# Build the self-contained image (iPXE binaries are fetched + built inside the Dockerfile).
+docker build -f deploy/docker/Dockerfile -t openpxe:0.5.5 .
 
-# 2. Build the container image (~3 min first time).
-docker buildx build -f deploy/docker/Dockerfile -t openpxe:0.4.1 --load .
-
-# 3. Run it on the box plugged into your PXE network. Set PUBLIC_IP to
-#    this host's LAN address so advertised iPXE URLs are reachable.
-docker run -d --name openpxe \
-  --network host \
+# Run it on the box plugged into your PXE network. Host networking is required in
+# proxy mode so the container sees DHCPDISCOVER broadcasts; set PUBLIC_IP to this
+# host's LAN address so advertised boot URLs are reachable.
+docker run -d --name openpxe --network host \
   -e OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.5 \
   -e OPENPXE_DHCP_MODE=proxy \
   -v $PWD/data/isos:/var/lib/openpxe/isos \
   -v $PWD/data/work:/var/lib/openpxe/work \
-  openpxe:0.4.1
+  openpxe:0.5.5
 
-# 4. Open the UI and drop an ISO in.
+# Open the UI and drop an ISO in.
 open http://10.0.0.5
 ```
 
-Host networking is required in proxy mode so the container sees DHCPDISCOVER
-broadcasts from the PXE VLAN. On macOS/Windows hosts Docker runs in a Linux
-VM, so "host" means the VM — use `openpxe-dev` in `docker-compose.yml` for
-API-only testing on a laptop.
+> On macOS/Windows, Docker runs inside a Linux VM, so "host network" means the VM — use
+> the `openpxe-dev` service in `docker-compose.yml` for API-only testing on a laptop:
+> `OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=127.0.0.1 docker compose up openpxe-dev`.
 
-### Quick start — docker compose
+### Build from source
 
 ```bash
-# MVP / API testing on a laptop (no DHCP, high ports):
-OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=127.0.0.1 docker compose up openpxe-dev
-# Real PXE deployment on a Linux host (host network, DHCP proxy on):
-OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.5  docker compose up openpxe
+./scripts/fetch-ipxe.sh          # populate assets/ipxe/ (embedded at compile time)
+cargo run --release              # needs root or CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE for :80/:69
 ```
 
-### Multi-arch build + push
-
-For deploying to x86_64 servers, build both arches in one manifest:
-
-```bash
-# One-time: bootstrap a multi-arch builder.
-docker buildx create --name openpxe-multi --driver docker-container --use
-
-# Build + push both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 under one tag.
-docker buildx build --builder openpxe-multi \
-  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
-  -t ghcr.io/YOUR-ORG/openpxe:0.4.1 \
-  --push \
-  -f deploy/docker/Dockerfile .
-```
-
-On an Apple Silicon host, the amd64 stage runs under QEMU emulation (~10-15 min for a cold cache). On a Linux x86_64 host, both arches build natively at normal speed. CI runners on GitHub Actions with `docker/build-push-action@v5` handle this cleanly.
-
-### Build from source (no container)
-
-```bash
-./scripts/fetch-ipxe.sh
-cargo run --release            # needs NET_BIND_SERVICE or root for :80/:69
-```
-
-### Container health probes
-
-| Endpoint    | Purpose                                                       |
-|-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
-| `/healthz`  | Liveness — HTTP stack alive. Always 200.                      |
-| `/readyz`   | Readiness — 200 only if iPXE binaries bundled + ISO dir OK.   |
-| `/api/status` | Full JSON status: versions, assets, counts, live settings, SMB state. |
-
-### Pre-seeding ISOs from a directory
-
-For CI, pre-baked homelab deployments, or a fresh PVC, the binary has a
-`seed` subcommand that imports every `*.iso` from a host path through the
-same pipeline the web UI uses (introspection + boot-entry generation):
+### Pre-seed ISOs from a directory
 
 ```bash
 docker run --rm \
   -v /my/iso-library:/seed:ro \
   -v openpxe-data:/var/lib/openpxe/isos \
   -e OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.5 \
-  openpxe:0.4.1 seed --from /seed
-
-# Dry run first to see what would be imported:
-docker run --rm -v /my/iso-library:/seed:ro openpxe:0.4.1 seed --from /seed --dry-run
+  openpxe:0.5.5 seed --from /seed          # add --dry-run to preview
 ```
 
-### Environment overrides
+## Remote ISO libraries
 
-| Var                    | Default                     | Meaning                                |
-|------------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------|
-| `OPENPXE_HTTP_PORT`   | `80`                        | Web UI + boot script HTTP port         |
-| `OPENPXE_TFTP_PORT`   | `69`                        | TFTP port                              |
-| `OPENPXE_DHCP_PORT`   | `67`                        | DHCP server-side port                  |
-| `OPENPXE_DHCP_MODE`   | `proxy`                     | `proxy` or `disabled`                  |
-| `OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP`   | auto-detect                 | Advertised IP for clients. Startup **fails** if unset and auto-detect returns loopback. |
-| `OPENPXE_ISO_DIR`     | `/var/lib/openpxe/isos`    | Where uploaded ISOs live               |
-| `OPENPXE_WORK_DIR`    | `/var/lib/openpxe/work`    | Scratch + runtime settings             |
-| `OPENPXE_LOG`         | `info,openpxe=debug`       | `tracing` filter                       |
+Point OpenPXE at a NAS and boot ISOs straight off it — **read on demand, no local copy**,
+so a 50-ISO library costs zero disk on the OpenPXE host. All three clients are userspace
+(no kernel mounts, no `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`); pick whichever your storage speaks.
 
-## What the boot menu looks like on a real client
+| Protocol | Implementation | Auth | HTTP Range¹ |
+|----------|----------------|------|-------------|
+| **NFS** (v3) | Pure-Rust in-process client | Client-IP (server export list) | ✅ |
+| **SFTP** (SSH) | Pure-Rust in-process client (`russh`) | Password **or** SSH key · host-key TOFU | ✅ |
+| **SMB** / CIFS | Userspace `smbclient` | Guest or username/password | — |
+
+¹ Range support lets clients seek into a multi-GB ISO without downloading what comes
+before it — needed for kernel/initrd extraction and `httpdisk`-style boots. NFS and SFTP
+expose explicit offsets; the SMB CLI streams sequentially, so SMB-sourced ISOs serve whole-file.
+
+## Supported client architectures
+
+| DHCP option 93 | Architecture | Firmware served |
+|----------------|--------------|-----------------|
+| `0x0000` | Legacy x86 BIOS | `undionly.kpxe` |
+| `0x0006` | IA32 UEFI | `snponly-i386.efi` |

-iPXE never appears in the UI — the whole hierarchy above is generated from
-ISOs you upload via drag-and-drop in the web UI plus toggles in Settings.
+The entire hierarchy is generated from what you upload and toggle — iPXE never surfaces.
+
+## Windows deployment
+
+Enable **Windows ISO support** in Settings, then upload a **stock, unmodified** Microsoft ISO:
+
+1. On upload, OpenPXE uses `wimlib-imagex` to inject exactly two plain-text files into the
+   WinPE image (`winpeshl.ini` + `startnet.cmd`) — no drivers, no certificates.
+2. The container's Samba `smbd` serves the extracted install tree on `:445`.
+3. The client chainloads `wimboot` → patched WinPE → Windows Setup running off the share.
+
+**Every executable the client runs is stock Microsoft-signed.** OpenPXE never ships
+drivers, never installs certificates into the client trust store, and never recommends
+`bcdedit /set testsigning on`. The SMB approach is adapted (re-implemented, not copied)
+from [Bootimus](https://github.com/garybowers/bootimus) (Apache-2.0). Port `445` must be
+directly reachable from clients; Windows 10/11 client SKUs are the tested target.
+
+## Configuration
+
+All settings have defaults and layer **defaults → TOML (`--config` / `OPENPXE_CONFIG`) →
+`OPENPXE_*` env**. The common knobs:
+
+| Var | Default | Meaning |
+|-----|---------|---------|
+| `OPENPXE_PUBLIC_IP` | auto-detect | IP advertised to clients. **Startup fails** if unset and auto-detect yields loopback. |
+| `OPENPXE_DHCP_MODE` | `proxy` | `proxy` or `disabled` |
+| `OPENPXE_HTTP_PORT` | `80` | Web UI + boot-script HTTP port |
+| `OPENPXE_TFTP_PORT` | `69` | TFTP port |
+| `OPENPXE_DHCP_PORT` | `67` | DHCP server-side port |
+| `OPENPXE_ISO_DIR` | `/var/lib/openpxe/isos` | Uploaded ISOs |
+| `OPENPXE_WORK_DIR` | `/var/lib/openpxe/work` | Scratch, settings, share + branding state |
+| `OPENPXE_LOG` | `info,openpxe=info` | `tracing` filter |
 
 ## OpenShift
 
 ```bash
 oc apply -f deploy/openshift/
-oc -n openpxe get all
 oc -n openpxe get route openpxe -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'
 ```
 
-### Why a custom SCC?
+The bundled `openpxe-scc` grants exactly `hostNetwork` (CNI overlays don't deliver L2
+broadcast into pod netns) and `NET_BIND_SERVICE` (to bind ports <1024) — nothing else.
+No raw sockets, no privileged mode. The Route covers `80/TCP`; PXE clients reach UDP
+67/69/4011 on the node's host IP directly.
 
-The default `restricted-v2` blocks `hostNetwork` and all capabilities. PXE
-cannot work without host network (CNI overlays don't deliver L2 broadcast
-into pod netns), and we need `NET_BIND_SERVICE` to bind <1024. The custom
-`openpxe-scc` grants exactly those two and nothing else. No raw sockets,
-no privileged mode — proxy-mode DHCP sidesteps the usual requirements.
+## Health & observability
 
-### What's on host ports
-
-| Port     | Proto | Purpose                         |
-|----------|-------|---------------------------------|
-| 67       | UDP   | DHCP server (proxy replies)     |
-| 69       | UDP   | TFTP                            |
-| 4011     | UDP   | PXE Boot Server discovery       |
-| 80       | TCP   | Web UI + HTTP boot assets       |
-
-The OpenShift Route only covers 80/TCP. Clients on the PXE network talk to
-the node's host IP directly for UDP.
-
-## Windows support
-
-Enabled by toggling **Windows ISO support** under Settings. The flow:
-
-1. Upload a stock Microsoft Windows install ISO (vanilla, no pre-processing).
-2. On upload, OpenPXE extracts the ISO and uses `wimlib-imagex` to rewrite
-   image index 2 (WinPE) of `sources/boot.wim`. It injects exactly two
-   plain-text files:
-   - `Windows/System32/winpeshl.ini` — tells WinPE to run `startnet.cmd`.
-   - `Windows/System32/startnet.cmd` — runs `wpeinit`, waits for the SMB
-     host to be reachable, `net use Z: \\<server>\<share> /user:guest`,
-     then `Z:\setup.exe`.
-3. The container's Samba `smbd` serves the extracted install tree on :445.
-4. The client gets chainloaded into wimboot → patched WinPE → Windows Setup
-   running off the SMB share. **Every binary the client executes is stock
-   Microsoft-signed.**
-
-### What we never do
-
-- Ship drivers — signed, test-signed, or otherwise — that load on the client.
-- Install certificates into the target's trust store or WinPE boot policy.
-- Recommend `bcdedit /set testsigning on` or any equivalent signing-policy
-  weakening.
-
-### Credit & limitations
-
-The SMB-based approach is adapted from [Bootimus](https://github.com/garybowers/bootimus)
-(Apache-2.0). Re-implemented in Rust; no code was copied verbatim. Known
-operational constraints inherited from the design:
-
-- **Port 445 must be directly reachable from PXE clients.** `net use`
-  ignores alternate ports. In OpenShift this means `hostPort: 445` on the
-  deployment; on a host that already runs SMB it will collide.
-- Windows 10/11 client SKUs are the tested target. Server SKUs untested.
-- Hardware with NICs/storage controllers missing from WinPE's bundled
-  drivers will need a driver-pack injection step (not yet implemented).
-
-## Queued Deployment
-
-The coordinated launch flow, end to end:
-
-1. A client boots and picks **Queued Deployment** in the PXE menu (or falls
-   through on timeout with the default `timeout_action`).
-2. The client joins the queue, gets a numbered queue position, and enters a
-   long-poll loop (25s per request, auto-renewed).
-3. In the web UI's **Queued Deployment** tab, the operator sees each waiting
-   client with its MAC, IP, arch, and position.
-4. The operator selects an image and clicks **Launch for all waiting**.
-   The server broadcasts the assignment to every queued client via a
-   `tokio::sync::Notify`; each client's next poll returns the boot script
-   for the chosen image.
-5. Every client chains the same image at effectively the same moment. The
-   queue stays visible until the operator releases entries, which keeps a
-   useful audit trail during hardware testing.
-
-No user-facing iPXE anywhere in this flow. The client only ever runs
-scripts we generate; the operator only interacts with the web UI.
+| Endpoint | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `/healthz` | Liveness — always 200 if the HTTP stack is up. |
+| `/readyz` | Readiness — 200 only once iPXE firmware is bundled and the ISO dir is reachable. |
+| `/api/status` | Full JSON: version, assets, counts, live settings, share + SMB state. |
+| `/metrics` | Prometheus text format — DHCP replies by arch, TFTP/HTTP counts, queue gauges, uptime. |

-#     slim for the `samba` / `wimtools` / `nfs-common` shellouts, but a
-#     scratch/distroless variant becomes a one-line swap).

-# x86_64-unknown-linux-musl is fully static by default (no extra

+# This stage is pinned to $BUILDPLATFORM (the builder's native arch — arm64
+# on an Apple-Silicon Mac, amd64 in x86 CI), exactly like `ipxe-build`. The
+# Rust compiler therefore runs at full native speed and emits an
+# x86_64-unknown-linux-musl binary via `cargo-zigbuild`, which uses `zig cc`
+# as the cross-linker (it bundles the musl sysroot for every target, so
+# there's no fiddly cross-gcc toolchain to assemble).
+#
+# Why this replaced the old `FROM rust ... --platform=linux/amd64` build:
+# that ran the *entire* compiler under QEMU x86_64 emulation on the arm64
+# host. It was ~15x slower (a single crate took >20 min) and the emulated
+# gcc/linker intermittently SIGSEGV'd or hung mid-link. Cross-compiling
+# sidesteps emulation entirely — the build is minutes, not half an hour,
+# and is deterministic.

+# The output is still a fully static musl binary with no glibc dependency,

+# 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.
