When using `labctl provision debug <target> --sshd`, the rescue
kickstart generates host keys, starts sshd (pw: debug) and nc
listener (port 2323), and reports the IP back to bastion via
/api/progress callback. Fully self-contained, no mounted FS needed.

New `labctl provision debug <target>` command that PXE boots a machine
into Fedora rescue mode (inst.rescue) for live debugging. Auto-clears
after one boot so next reboot returns to normal.
Adds debug state to BastionState, dispatch routing, API endpoints,
labd command routing, and CLI with rescue workflow guide.

Kickstart installs on real hardware failed silently — no error reporting,
only 3 progress callbacks, zero log streaming. This overhaul makes every
install fully observable.
Kickstart improvements:
- Error trapping in %pre and %post (trap ERR sends failure details to bastion)
- 12+ granular progress stages (was 3): SSH, hostname, k3s prep, EFI boot, metadata
- Background log streamer: tails %post output and batch-sends to /api/log
- bastion_log() function for explicit log lines from kickstart scripts
Bastion API:
- POST /api/log — receives raw log lines from kickstart (single or batch)
- InstallLogBuffer — per-MAC ring buffer (2000 lines) + file persistence
- GET /api/logs/:mac — now returns log_lines + log_total alongside stages
- SSE /api/logs/:mac/follow — uses named events (event: stage vs event: log)
- Progress events forwarded to labd via bastion-progress WebSocket message
- Post-provision k3s logs routed through progressBus (was console-only)
dnsmasq fixes found during VM testing:
- HTTP Boot filename: ipxe-real.efi → ipxe.efi (leftover from old 2-stage approach)
- pxe-service directives: only in proxy mode (breaks OVMF PXE in full mode)
- PXEClient vendor class echo for UEFI firmware compatibility
Integration tests:
- PXE boot test: blank UEFI VM → dnsmasq → HTTP Boot → iPXE → bastion → install
- ISO boot test: blank VM boots from bastion-generated ISO → same flow
- Shared helpers: pxe-network (no DHCP, nftables fix), pxe-vm (UEFI + ISO boot)
- test-provision.sh: runs both PXE + ISO tests with prerequisite checks
- 250GB sparse QCOW2 disk (LVM layout needs ~204GB)
201 unit tests passing (11 new).
