Miles WardandClaude Opus 4.8 29040e8a5a v0.7.1: walk the ladder once ever — persistent learned modes, rule pins, same-boot iPXE recovery
Answers the operational question 'can a machine try all three boot
binaries in one go?' The protocol can't carry three NBPs in one cycle
(one boot file per DHCP round, the Secure-Boot refusal happens after
handoff with no error report, and the broken-NIC case specifically needs
the firmware itself to load builtin-driver iPXE — GRUB's network rides
the same broken firmware stack). What we CAN do is make the walk a
once-per-machine-ever event and give operators a way to skip it:

- Learned driver modes persist (<work_dir>/driver_modes.json). A MAC
  that reaches the Shim rung, or confirms an iPXE handoff at Builtin,
  is pinned to disk: immune to the 30-min TTL, reloaded at startup.
  The file only carries exceptions — a healthy fleet never writes it.
  Corrupt file starts empty (standard crash-cache policy).
- Boot rules gain an optional driver_mode pin (auto/firmware/builtin/
  shim), consulted by the DHCP proxy BEFORE the escalation ladder:
  'this OUI is a Secure Boot rack -> serve shim immediately' = zero
  failed cycles. Mode-only rules coexist with target rules (a pin
  doesn't shadow a later target match). Editor column on Hosts tab.
- grub.cfg now tries to chainload all-drivers iPXE before showing the
  signed menu: with SB off the chainload succeeds and the client gets
  the full iPXE feature set back in the SAME boot (self-healing for
  mis-escalations, and the handoff then pins the working mode); with
  SB on, shim's verifier refuses it inline — no reboot — and the
  signed menu appears.

DhcpProxyServer now takes the escalation table + rules store from main
(persistence path comes from the configured work dir).

Validation: clippy clean, fmt clean, 299 workspace tests green (+9:
persistence round-trip across restart, Shim pin survives TTL, learned
Builtin survives TTL, corrupt-file recovery, default-mode-never-
persisted, rule-pin matching incl. unknown-mode tolerance and
pin/target coexistence, GRUB chainload-before-menu ordering, API
round-trip of the driver_mode field).

//! GRUB menu rendering for the Secure Boot chain (v0.7.0).
//!
//! Secure-Boot-enabled firmware refuses our unsigned iPXE, so those
//! clients are automatically escalated (see `openpxe_dhcp_proxy::
//! escalation`) to the Microsoft-signed Fedora `shim` → signed `grub`
//! chain. GRUB then fetches `grub.cfg` from this server (TFTP `$prefix`
//! resolution, or HTTP when the whole chain came over HTTP Boot) — and
//! this module renders that config from the same boot-entry model that
//! renders `boot.ipxe`.
//!
//! Scope: **Linux kernel entries only.** A signed GRUB will only execute
//! kernels that pass shim verification — i.e. distro-signed kernels —
//! which is exactly what `LinuxKernel` boot entries point at. `sanboot`
//! ISO emulation and `wimboot` are iPXE mechanisms with no signed
//! equivalent; those entries are omitted here, and the menu says so.
//! (Windows deployment under Secure Boot has no legitimate unsigned
//! path — per project policy we never ship test-signed binaries or touch
//! client trust stores.)
//!
//! The kernel/initrd lines use GRUB's `(http,host:port)` device syntax;
//! Fedora's signed netboot GRUB carries the `http`, `tftp` and `efinet`
//! modules built in, so no unsigned module loading is required.
