d727a50ca0 migration: offline recovery card, and stop the leak test trusting a silent router
The change itself takes Management down, so the session that performs it has no
internet and no Claude. RECOVERY-CARD-vlan1-move.md is what is actually needed at
that point, on one page: the recovery path, the order, the commands, and what to
do when locked out.

The recovery path is `ssh vyos@10.0.1.252`, and the reason it is trustworthy is
that it is not routed -- the workstation is 10.0.0.210/23 and the router's LoT
leg is 10.0.1.252/23, so `ip route get` returns dev lanbr0 with no `via`. It
therefore survives Management, VRRP, the VIPs, DNS and the switch trunk all being
wrong at once. bond0.10 is untouched by the change and stays in the LAN group.

Order is switch-first, which is the opposite of what seems natural. The UniFi
controller is 192.168.1.5, on Management, reached from LoT *through vyos001*: do
the router first and you lose the controller you still need for the switch.

Two corrections to the leak test, both because it reported a router fault that
was its own:

  - it counted `pgrep -f 'tcpdump -i bond0'`, so a stray tcpdump from an earlier
    run satisfied the >=2 guard with none of this run's captures alive. A capture
    that records nothing reads as "the router sent no reply at all".
  - it believed a single silent run. Kea can be is-active and answering nothing
    for tens of seconds after a restart, so the first VLANs of a loop failed and
    the last passed. That produced two OPPOSITE and equally wrong conclusions
    about `listen-interface` before a retry showed the pattern.

On `listen-interface`: it is a real second branch in kea-dhcp4.conf.j2 that keeps
dhcp-socket-type raw, unlike listen-address which forces udp and took DHCP down
when it was tried live. But naming the sub-interfaces explicitly left Management
DHCP dead in the sim, reproducibly, against a clean control with interfaces:["*"].
Not adopted, and not needed -- the address move is the proven fix.

0481c38e09 labsim: prove the tagged-Management fix for kea's wrong-pool offers
Kea #1117: with dhcp-socket-type raw, a frame tagged for a sub-interface is
also delivered to the parent's AF_PACKET socket, and if the parent serves a
subnet kea answers from it too. Management being the native VLAN on bond0 is
what gives the parent that subnet. One DISCOVER on VLAN 3 produced two OFFERs,
and in the captures here the WRONG one arrives first as often as not -- which
is why this looked device-dependent rather than like a server bug.

labsim-vlan-leak-test.sh reproduces it and scores the SERVER's offers, not the
client's choice; a client picking correctly is how this hid. Fails on the old
shape, passes on the new one across all six LAN VLANs.

Three things the rehearsal caught that reasoning had not:

  - kea keeps its old raw socket. VyOS does not restart it for an interface
    address change, so the first post-fix test failed and looked exactly like
    the fix not working.
  - interface-group LAN names the bare bond0. Moving the address without
    moving the group drops every management session under default-deny.
  - there is no make-before-break. A port always egresses its native VLAN
    untagged, so while VLAN 1 is native the router can send tagged VLAN 1 but
    never receive it -- verified, the ARP landed on bond0 untagged.

What makes the cutover safe anyway is that tagged and untagged Management
coexist, so the firewalls convert one at a time: 0s of VIP downtime, versus
5m30s if both routers go before the switch does. In that state the healthy
BACKUP does NOT take over -- the sync group holds native BACKUP because the
other VLANs still hear the master.

Also fixes two ways the sim was lying. ovs_bond_router compared only the trunk
VLAN list on re-runs, so a VM restart left the bond holding taps that no longer
existed while the real ones sat in the bridge unbonded -- labsim-vyos2 had no
LACP at all. And the tap count included the primary's libvirt-NAT scaffold NIC,
so the primary's bond was skipped outright.
