Miles WardandClaude Opus 4.8 9fc9a9a1af v0.5.8: Windows ISOs just work (HTTP sanboot) + Storage UX
Windows boot, the "less is more" way. Windows ISOs now boot via iPXE
HTTP sanboot of the raw image — iPXE exposes the unmodified ISO as an
emulated CD backed by on-demand HTTP range reads, and Windows Setup
boots from it. This replaces the wimboot+SMB chain, which needed an SMB
server the host often can't provide (:445 collisions), served in-ISO
files via an ISO9660 lookup that failed on UDF-only Win11 ISOs, and was
gated behind a Settings toggle the WebUI never even exposed (so Windows
never booted). Now it needs only the HTTP port — works in any
environment, SMB or not — and nothing is injected into Windows (no
httpdisk.sys, no test certs, no trust-store changes; fully within the
project's hard rules).

- iso-store/store.rs: WindowsPe boot entry -> BootKind::SanBootIso of the
  raw iso/<id>.iso (render_entry already emits `sanboot --no-describe`).
- iso-store/introspect.rs: broaden Windows detection for UDF-only Win10/11
  ISOs — UTF-16LE markers (boot.wim/bootmgr/install.wim/microsoft),
  extra ASCII markers, and a filename heuristic, since their volume
  labels are cryptic and filenames are UTF-16. + unit tests.
- http-api/ipxe_script.rs: Windows installers submenu shows whenever a
  Windows ISO is present — no toggle, no "disabled in Settings".
- webui: dashboard no longer flags Windows ISOs (they boot now); the
  generic large-ISO warning reworded to read sensibly for genuinely
  non-bootable images (e.g. VMware VCSA appliance bundles).

Storage UX:
- Available images listed alphabetically by filename.
- Upload gains a Cancel button (aborts the chunk + discards the partial).
- beforeunload warning while an upload is in flight.

263 tests pass, clippy clean. NOTE: actual Windows boot is validated on
real hardware — code/script/range-serving are validated here.

//! ISO introspection — identify the distro family and locate kernel/initrd.
//!
//! We avoid a full ISO9660/Joliet/Rock-Ridge parser by reading a small number
//! of well-known files via `isoinfo` (from cdrtools/genisoimage) when it's on
//! the path. As a pure-Rust fallback we do a crude scan: read the volume
//! descriptor at offset 0x8000 to grab the volume label, and grep for known
//! filenames by scanning raw sectors — good enough to tell Debian from RHEL
//! most of the time, without shelling out.
//!
//! The returned `IntrospectionReport` is what `BootEntry`s get generated from.
