labsim: default-deny firewall policy, proven in the sim

Policy: internal VLANs reach each other and the internet; the internet
initiates nothing inward. That was already the effect of the IPv4 ruleset, but
built as a blacklist -- default-action accept plus explicit drops per WAN
interface. Identical behaviour right up until a WAN is added, at which point it
is open and nothing looks wrong. This expresses it as a whitelist.

Two findings from the sim, both of which would have been outages in production:

`set` on a rule number is ADDITIVE. The sim already had a rule 10 carrying
inbound/outbound interface constraints; `set ... rule 10 state established`
ANDed onto it, producing a stateful-accept that applied to one interface pair
only. Return traffic from the internet then matched no rule and hit the default
drop, so LAN hosts could reach nothing outbound. The generator now deletes each
filter before rebuilding it, so the code owns the subtree. It is one commit, so
nftables is rebuilt atomically -- there is no window without a firewall.

DHCP lease renewal is unicast UDP to port 68 and conntrack does not reliably
cover it. Without an explicit rule the WAN keeps working until the lease
expires and then dies -- a delayed failure that looks nothing like a firewall
change. Also added a loopback accept for both families, absent from the v6
policy since it went default-deny.

Verified in labsim: inter-VLAN ok, LAN-to-internet ok, internet-to-router
dropped, and internet-to-LAN dropped with the drop counter incrementing by
exactly the packets sent, after routing the test through the router rather than
around it via the hypervisor.

Also extends the drift check to the firewall subtree, which it did not cover --
so it had been reporting "in sync" while that subtree was uncaptured.

+## Skill routing
+
+When the user's request matches an available skill, ALWAYS invoke it using the Skill
+tool as your FIRST action. Do NOT answer directly, do NOT use other tools first.
+The skill has specialized workflows that produce better results than ad-hoc answers.
+
+Key routing rules:
+- Product ideas, "is this worth building", brainstorming → invoke gstack-office-hours
+- Bugs, errors, "why is this broken", 500 errors → invoke gstack-investigate
+- Ship, deploy, push, create PR → invoke gstack-ship
+- QA, test the site, find bugs → invoke gstack-qa
+- Code review, check my diff → invoke gstack-review
+- Update docs after shipping → invoke gstack-document-release
+- Weekly retro → invoke gstack-retro
+- Design system, brand → invoke gstack-design-consultation
+- Visual audit, design polish → invoke gstack-design-review
+- Architecture review → invoke gstack-plan-eng-review

+# TODOS
+
+## P1 — Ship with Phase 1
+
+### v2.0 Architecture Document Update
+Update `bastion/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` to cover v2.0: driver model, fleet system,
+Pulumi integration, Vault secrets, Deno evaluator, new CLI grammar. The existing
+doc covers v1.0 comprehensively (432 lines). v2.0 adds 5+ major subsystems.
+**Effort:** M (human: 1 week / CC: 1-2 days)
+**Depends on:** Phase 1 complete
+**Source:** CEO review 2026-04-01
+
+## P2 — Post-v2.0 Core
+
+### SSH Emergency Mode (scoped)
+SSH-based operations limited to: (1) earliest necessary box provisioning before agent
+is installed, and (2) emergency debugging/fixing operations that can't be done via agent.
+NOT a general-purpose DeploymentTarget alternative. The v1.0 `recheck` and `fix-ssh-root.sh`
+patterns are the model. Agent stays the primary management path.
+**Effort:** S (human: 1 week / CC: 1 day)
+**Depends on:** Phase 2 complete (DeploymentTarget interface exists)
+**Source:** CEO review 2026-04-01
+
+### Prometheus Metrics Endpoint
+Add `/metrics` endpoint to labd: resource counts by status, apply duration histograms,
+driver operation latency, fleet pipeline completion rates. Standard Prometheus scraping
+for Grafana dashboards and alerting.
+**Effort:** S (human: 2-3 days / CC: 2-3 hours)
+**Depends on:** Phase 1 (labd exists with resource store)
+**Source:** CEO review 2026-04-01 (observability gap)
+
+## P3 — Future Enhancements
+
+### Infrastructure Graph Visualization
+Visual representation of resource dependencies, environment topology, fleet status.
+Could be a web UI or terminal-based (like `kubectl tree`).
+**Source:** CEO review 2026-04-01
+
+### `labctl import` for Existing Cloud Resources
+Discover and import existing AWS/GCP resources into the state store.
+Pulumi's import functionality could be leveraged.
+**Source:** CEO review 2026-04-01
+
+### Built-in Secrets Rotation
+Automatic rotation of managed secrets (database passwords, API keys).
+Vault handles rotation but a labctl-native workflow could simplify.
+**Source:** CEO review 2026-04-01

+# Lab Platform Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+A bare-metal and hybrid cloud infrastructure platform for automated machine provisioning, Kubernetes cluster management, and fleet operations. The platform discovers hardware via PXE boot, installs operating systems unattended, deploys k3s clusters, and provides centralized management through a CLI and API.
+
+**Components:**

+
+### Communication Patterns
+
+| Path | Protocol | Auth |
+|------|----------|------|
+| labctl -> labd | HTTP/HTTPS | mTLS cert (future: token) |
+| bastion -> labd | WebSocket | Join token enrollment |
+| lab-agent -> labd | WebSocket | mTLS certificate |
+| machine -> bastion | HTTP | None (local network) |
+| Anaconda -> bastion | HTTP + UDP syslog | None (install-time) |
+| labctl -> bastion | HTTP | None (standalone mode) |
+
+### Standalone vs Centralized
+
+The bastion can operate in two modes:
+
+1. **Standalone** -- single bastion, state in local JSON file, CLI talks directly to bastion HTTP API
+2. **Centralized** -- bastion registers with labd via WebSocket, state aggregated in CockroachDB, CLI talks to labd which routes commands to the correct bastion

+## Packages
+
+### Monorepo Structure
+
+TypeScript ESM monorepo with pnpm workspaces. Six packages:
+
+| Package | Role | Key Tech |
+|---------|------|----------|
+| `@lab/shared` | Types, protocol, constants | - |
+| `@lab/bastion` | PXE server | Fastify, dnsmasq |
+| `@lab/cli` | CLI binary | Commander.js |
+| `@lab/labd` | Master daemon | Fastify, Prisma, CockroachDB |
+| `@lab/agent` | Server agent | WebSocket |
+| `@lab/modules` | Config modules | SSH, k8s-client |
+
+### @lab/shared
+
+Core type system shared by all packages.
+
+**State Model:**
+```typescript
+interface BastionState {
+  discovered:    Record<MAC, HardwareInfo>
+  install_queue: Record<MAC, InstallConfig>
+  installed:     Record<MAC, InstalledInfo>
+  debug:         Record<MAC, DebugConfig>
+}
+```
+
+**Roles:**
+- `vanilla` -- OS only, no k3s, no cluster services
+- `worker` -- k3s agent + Longhorn storage (joins existing cluster)
+- `infra` -- k3s server + etcd (control plane node)
+- `labcontroller` -- infra + bastion + labd + CockroachDB (self-sufficient)
+
+**OS Support:**
+- `fedora-43` -- Anaconda kickstart installer
+- `ubuntu-26.04` -- cloud-init autoinstall
+
+**Protocol:** Discriminated union message types for WebSocket communication between agents, bastions, and labd. Type guards and parsers for runtime validation.
+
+### @lab/bastion
+
+PXE boot server that handles the physical provisioning lifecycle.
+
+**Services:**
+- `StateManager` -- JSON file persistence with immutable update pattern
+- `SyslogListener` -- UDP syslog receiver (port 5514) for Anaconda install logs
+- `InstallLogBuffer` -- In-memory ring buffer + disk persistence per machine
+- `BastionConnection` -- WebSocket client to labd for centralized mode
+- dnsmasq management (spawn, config generation, proxy/full DHCP)
+- Network auto-detection (interface, IP, subnet, gateway)
+- ISO builder (xorriso + mtools for non-PXE machines)
+
+**HTTP Routes:**
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `GET /dispatch?mac=` | Dynamic iPXE script (discover/install/debug/local-boot) |
+| `GET /ks?mac=` | Per-machine Anaconda kickstart |
+| `GET /debug.ks` | Rescue mode kickstart |
+| `GET /debug-setup.sh` | nc listener setup script for rescue shell |

+| `GET /api/machines` | List all machines |
+| `GET /api/logs/:mac` | Install logs + progress |
+| `GET /api/logs/:mac/follow` | SSE stream of progress events |
+| `DELETE /api/machines/:mac` | Forget machine |
+
+**Templates:**
+- `boot.ipxe.ts` -- iPXE scripts for each boot mode (discover, install, debug, pxe-boot-debug, local-boot)
+- `install.ks.ts` -- Full Fedora kickstart with LVM, SSH, k3s prereqs, progress callbacks, SysRq keys
+- `debug.ks.ts` -- Minimal rescue kickstart (SSH via inst.sshd)
+- `ubuntu-autoinstall.ts` -- cloud-init for Ubuntu
+- `dnsmasq.conf.ts` -- DHCP/TFTP configuration
+
+**Boot Dispatch Logic:**
+```
+1. debug[mac]?        -> renderDebugIpxe (auto-clear after serving)
+2. install_queue[mac]? -> renderInstallIpxe
+3. installed[mac]?    -> renderLocalBootIpxe (exit to disk)
+4. unknown            -> renderDiscoverIpxe
+```
+
+### @lab/labd
+
+Central management daemon. Aggregates multiple bastions, stores persistent state in CockroachDB, relays commands, manages agent fleet.
+
+**Database (Prisma + CockroachDB):**
+- `Server` -- hostname, MAC, IP, role, status, cloud, environment, labels
+- `Bastion` -- hostname, network, serverIp, lastHeartbeat
+- `Agent` -- certificate, enrollment, heartbeat
+- `Cluster` -- name, cloud, environment, kubeconfig (encrypted)
+- `User` / `Role` / `Permission` -- RBAC (action:cloud:env:server matrix)
+- `JoinToken` -- one-time/reusable enrollment tokens
+- `AuditLog` -- action, resource, result, timestamp
+
+**Key Services:**
+- `BastionRegistry` -- in-memory registry of connected bastions, state aggregation, MAC-to-bastion routing
+- `AgentRegistry` -- connected agents, heartbeat tracking
+- `MessageRouter` -- command relay between CLI/agents and bastions
+
+**Command Routing:**
+```
+CLI: labctl provision install <mac> <hostname>
+  -> POST /api/machines/install
+  -> labd finds bastion that knows this MAC
+  -> WebSocket: {type: "command-install", mac, hostname, disk, role}
+  -> bastion updates install_queue
+  -> WebSocket: {type: "command-response", status: "ok"}
+  -> HTTP response to CLI
+```
+
+### @lab/cli (labctl)
+
+Operator CLI. Commander.js binary, distributed as RPM/DEB or standalone bun-compiled executable.
+
+**Command Groups:**
+
+```
+labctl init bastion standalone start|stop|status
+labctl provision list|install|reprovision|forget|debug|logs|makeiso
+labctl app k3s install|health|list
+labctl config list|get|set|path
+labctl login
+labctl doctor
+labctl roles
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Target resolution: hostname, MAC, or IP -> machine lookup
+- SSH reboot into PXE for reprovision/debug (efibootmgr --bootnext)
+- Follow mode: `labctl provision logs <target> -f` (5s polling)
+- Shell completions: bash, fish
+
+### @lab/modules
+
+Declarative configuration modules with three-phase lifecycle: install -> configure -> health.
+
+**k3s Module:**
+- 5 operation groups: host-prep, networking, k3s-server, k3s-agent, hardening
+- 15+ individual operations: kernel modules, sysctl, firewall, Cilium CNI, SELinux, audit policy, pod security, cert checks
+- Health checks: service running, node ready, API health, pod status, Cilium status, secrets encryption
+- SSH execution backend with progress callbacks
+
+### @lab/agent
+
+Daemon on provisioned servers. WebSocket to labd for:
+- Heartbeat (hostname, uptime, CPU/mem usage)
+- Command execution (with stdout/stderr streaming)
+- Log streaming (journalctl relay)
+- mTLS certificate enrollment and rotation
+
+---
+
+## Disk Layout
+
+### LVM Partitioning (labvg)
+
+All roles share a common LVM layout. The kickstart `%pre` auto-detects the install disk (NVMe preferred, then SATA, skipping USB/removable).
+
+| Volume | Size | FS | Reprovision |
+|--------|------|-----|-------------|
+| `/boot/efi` | 600 MB | vfat | Reused |
+| `/boot` | 3 GB | ext4 | Reused |
+| `swap` | 27 GB | swap | Recreated |
+| `/` (root) | 33 GB | xfs | Recreated |
+| `/var` | 100 GB | xfs | Recreated |
+| `/var/log` | 10 GB | xfs | Recreated |
+| `/home` | 10 GB | xfs | **Preserved** |
+| `/srv` | 20 GB | xfs | **Preserved** |
+| `/var/lib/longhorn` | remaining | xfs | **Preserved** (worker) |
+| `/var/lib/rancher` | 20 GB | xfs | **Preserved** (infra) |
+| `/tmp` | 4 GB | tmpfs | - |
+
+Reprovision detection: if `labvg` VG exists, reuse EFI/boot partitions and preserve data volumes.
+
+---
+
+## Kickstart Features
+
+The Fedora kickstart template (`install.ks.ts`) includes:
+
+- **Dynamic disk detection** -- `%pre` probes NVMe/SATA/virtio, skips USB/removable, supports both fresh install and reprovision
+- **Progress callbacks** -- `curl -sf POST /api/progress` at each stage (partitioning, post-install substeps, complete)
+- **Anaconda syslog forwarding** -- `logging --host --port` streams real-time install logs to bastion
+- **SSH hardening** -- key-only auth, root login via pubkey only, admin user with passwordless sudo
+- **Network-first boot order** -- `efibootmgr` reorders boot entries so PXE is always first (bastion controls every reboot)
+- **SysRq magic keys** -- `kernel.sysrq=1` for emergency reboot via KVM keyboard
+- **Role-specific setup:**
+  - `vanilla`: chronyd only
+  - `worker`/`infra`: kernel modules (br_netfilter, overlay), sysctl (ip_forward, inotify), firewalld disabled, k3s binary installed
+  - `infra`: k3s server binary pre-installed
+
+**What is NOT in the kickstart:**
+- `console=ttyS0` -- causes 30s-per-step boot timeout on hardware without physical serial UART (discovered 2026-03-30, see docs/pxe-boot-debugging-2026-03-30.md)
+- Background log streamer (`tail -f`) -- prevents Anaconda from syncing filesystem, causes %post writes to not persist
+
+---
+
+## Deployment

+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Kickstart rendering (ksvalidator syntax check, partition layout, role-specific sections)
+- State management (load, save, update, debug field)
+- Dispatch routing (correct iPXE script for each machine state)
+- Syslog listener (UDP receive, IP->MAC resolution, RFC 3164 parsing)
+
+### Integration Tests (libvirt VMs)
+- **pxe-provision.test.ts** -- Full end-to-end: create VM -> PXE discovery -> queue install -> Anaconda install -> SSH verification -> systemd health -> SELinux enforcing -> boot order check
+- **iso-provision.test.ts** -- ISO boot for non-PXE machines
+- **k3s-single-node.test.ts** -- Post-provision k3s installation and health
+- VM screenshot capture during boot for debugging
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+- **mTLS** for agent-labd communication (certificate enrollment via join tokens)
+- **SSH key-only auth** on provisioned machines (no password auth)
+- **SELinux enforcing** verified in integration tests
+- **RBAC** (planned): action:cloud:environment:server permission matrix
+- **Audit logging** (planned): every mutation tracked in CockroachDB
+- **Network-first boot order** prevents machines from booting without bastion approval
+- **SysRq keys** enabled for emergency reboot without SSH access
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues & Lessons Learned
+
+### Serial Console Boot Delay (2026-03-30)
+`console=ttyS0,115200n8` in kernel cmdline causes 30-second timeout at every systemd boot phase on hardware without a physical serial UART. Root cause: systemd blocks writing to non-existent UART. Fix: removed from kickstart entirely.
+
+### Anaconda %post Log Streamer
+Background `tail -f` in kickstart `%post` prevents Anaconda from syncing the filesystem. All file writes in %post appear to succeed but are lost on reboot. Fix: removed background log streamer, replaced with Anaconda's built-in `logging --host --port` syslog forwarding.
+
+### Disk Auto-Detection
+Hardcoded `/dev/sda` default broke NVMe-only machines. Fix: default to empty string (auto-detect) which triggers the `%pre` disk probe logic.
+
+### Anaconda Rescue Mode Limitations
+`%pre` and `%post` sections do not execute in `inst.rescue` mode. SSH in rescue mode is provided by Anaconda's `inst.sshd` kernel parameter + `sshpw` kickstart directive. Manual setup via `curl bastion:8080/debug-setup.sh | bash` for nc listener.
+
+---
+
+## Planned Work (Taskmaster)
+
+13 tasks in queue, all pending:
+
+1. **#72** Expand Prisma schema with resource relationships (Network, ServerNic, ServerDisk, ClusterMember)
+2. **#73** State persistence service (bastion state -> CockroachDB)
+3. **#74** State loading from labd on bastion startup
+4. **#75** Fix bastion --dir env var default
+5. **#76** Resource type registry with aliases (kubectl-style)
+6. **#77** `labctl get <resource>` command
+7. **#78** `labctl describe <resource>` command
+8. **#79** `labctl create/delete` commands
+9. **#80** Refactor provision commands to kubectl-style

+# Kickstart Reference — Lessons Learned
+
+This documents pitfalls discovered during PXE boot testing. Read before modifying
+the kickstart template (`src/bastion/src/templates/install.ks.ts`).
+
+## Package requirements
+
+### `kernel-modules` is mandatory
+
+`@core` only installs `kernel-modules-core`, which lacks common modules like `vfat`,
+`zram`, and many network/filesystem drivers. Without `kernel-modules`:
+
+- `/boot/efi` (FAT32) cannot mount → `systemd-remount-fs` fails → **root stays
+  read-only** → sshd-keygen can't write host keys → SSH unreachable
+- `zram-generator` fails → can trigger emergency mode
+
+**Always include `kernel-modules` in %packages.** This matches what the real
+labmaster (192.168.8.11) has installed.
+
+Regression introduced in commit `fac14b6` which removed `@server-product`
+(that group pulled in `kernel-modules` via `fedora-release-server`).
+
+### `dosfstools` is needed
+
+Provides `mkfs.vfat` and ensures FAT filesystem support is available. The real
+labmaster has it installed.
+
+### Verify against the real machine
+
+Before changing the package list, SSH to the labmaster and compare:
+```bash
+ssh 192.168.8.11 "rpm -q <package>"
+```
+
+## Anaconda %post execution order
+
+This is critical and not well documented:
+
+1. `%pre` scripts run
+2. Disk partitioning and formatting
+3. Package installation
+4. **Anaconda writes system config (fstab, hostname, etc.)**
+5. `%post` scripts run (in chroot of installed system)
+6. `%post --nochroot` scripts run
+7. **Anaconda MAY overwrite fstab again after %post scripts**
+
+**Consequence:** You cannot reliably modify `/etc/fstab` from `%post` or
+`%post --nochroot`. Anaconda overwrites it. Tested and confirmed — both
+`sed` in %post and %post --nochroot had no effect on the final fstab.
+
+What DOES work from %post:
+- Writing files to `/etc/` (systemd units, config files, SSH keys)
+- Enabling/disabling systemd services
+- Installing additional packages
+- Running `systemctl enable/mask`
+
+What does NOT work from %post:
+- Modifying `/etc/fstab` (Anaconda overwrites it)
+- `--fsoptions` on `part /boot/efi` (Anaconda ignores it for EFI partitions)
+
+## UEFI / EFI partition
+
+- Anaconda always creates an EFI System Partition for UEFI installs
+- The EFI partition is FAT32 — requires `vfat` kernel module to mount
+- If `/boot/efi` fails to mount, `systemd-remount-fs` fails, which leaves
+  root as read-only. This cascades to break ALL services that need to write
+- The EFI partition is used by firmware directly for bootloader — the OS
+  doesn't strictly need it mounted, but Anaconda adds it to fstab
+
+## VM-specific issues (libvirt/QEMU/OVMF)
+
+### iPXE exit behavior
+- `exit` (no args) returns EFI_SUCCESS → OVMF retries PXE, never reaches disk
+- `exit 1` returns EFI_ABORTED → OVMF moves to next boot device (disk)
+- VM boot order needs both `network` and `hd`: `--boot=uefi,network,hd`
+
+### nftables
+- libvirt creates reject rules for NAT networks in table `ip libvirt_network`
+  (NOT `inet libvirt` — this wrong table name cost hours of debugging)
+- These rules block new host→VM connections (SSH)
+- Rules are recreated on every `virsh start` — must delete after each VM restart
+- Chains: `guest_input` and `guest_output`
+
+### Serial console
+- VM serial port: `--serial=tcp,host=127.0.0.1:4555,mode=bind,protocol=telnet`
+- Use `virsh console <vm-name>` for interactive access (handles telnet protocol)
+- Raw `socat` works for reading but pagers/readline break interactive use
+- Add `console=ttyS0,115200n8` to kernel args for boot output on serial
+
+### SELinux on labmaster
+- Set to **permissive** — this is for k3s/kubernetes, NOT because SSH needs it
+- SSH works fine with SELinux enforcing on a properly installed Fedora system
+- The `ld.so.cache` AVC denials seen during debugging were caused by the
+  read-only root filesystem, not by SELinux policy
+
+## Testing checklist
+
+Before merging kickstart changes:
+1. Check the real labmaster has the same packages: `ssh 192.168.8.11 "rpm -q <pkg>"`
+2. Run the PXE integration test: `sudo pnpm run test:integration:pxe`
+3. Verify via serial console (root / `lab-root-pw`) if SSH fails
+4. Check `mount | grep " / "` — must show `rw`, not `ro`
+5. Check `systemctl --failed` — no critical failures

+# PXE Boot Debugging Session — 2026-03-30
+
+## Problem
+Beelink SER Mini Pro (AMD Ryzen 7 255, Radeon 780M, 64GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe) boots Fedora 43 100x slower than normal after PXE kickstart install. Every systemd boot phase takes ~30 seconds. The Anaconda installer/rescue mode boots fast on the same hardware.
+
+## Root Cause
+**`console=ttyS0,115200n8` in kernel cmdline** — added via kickstart `bootloader --append` during install.
+
+This mini PC has **no physical serial UART**. When systemd writes to ttyS0, each log write blocks for ~30 seconds waiting for the non-existent UART hardware. Since systemd logs at every phase transition, the total boot time was 10+ minutes.
+
+The Anaconda installer was unaffected because it uses a different init flow that doesn't go through the same systemd phase transitions.
+
+## How We Found It
+Hours of systematic elimination:
+
+| What we tried | Result | Ruled out |
+|---|---|---|
+| `modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu` | No change | GPU driver |
+| `amd_iommu=off` | No change | IOMMU |
+| Rebuild initramfs without plymouth/drm/fips | No change | Initramfs bloat |
+| systemd-boot instead of GRUB | Still slow | Bootloader |
+| PXE-boot kernel+initrd (skip local GRUB entirely) | Still slow | Local bootloader/firmware |
+| Disable TPM in BIOS | No change | TPM |
+| Remove `resume=` + resume dracut module | No change | Hibernate resume |
+| Manual LVM activation in rescue shell | **Fast** | NVMe/LVM themselves |
+| Remove `console=ttyS0,115200n8` from GRUB | **FAST BOOT** | **This was it** |
+
+The key breakthrough was noticing the timestamps showed **exactly 30-second gaps** between boot phases — a timeout pattern, not general slowness. Then realising the serial console was added during install and had never been tested without.
+
+## What Was Fixed (PR #4, merged)
+
+### 1. Removed serial console from kickstart
+- Removed `console=ttyS0,115200n8` from `bootloader --append`
+- Removed `serial-getty@ttyS0.service` enablement
+- Removed rsyslog serial forwarding
+
+### 2. Enabled Anaconda syslog forwarding
+- Uncommented `logging --host --port` directive in kickstart
+- Bastion's SyslogListener was already built — just needed IP→MAC resolution improvement
+- Added `registerIp()` calls from kickstart fetch and progress callbacks
+- Added syslog listener unit tests
+
+### 3. Fixed disk auto-detection
+- Default disk changed from `/dev/sda` to `""` (auto-detect) in labd route and bastion command handler
+- The kickstart `%pre` auto-detect logic probes nvme0n1, sda, sdb, vda in order
+- Without this fix, NVMe-only machines (like the SER Mini Pro) fail immediately
+
+### 4. SysRq magic keys
+- Added `kernel.sysrq=1` sysctl to kickstart `%post`
+- Enables Alt+SysRq+REISUB via JetKVM for emergency reboot of stuck machines
+
+### 5. Simplified debug command
+- Removed `--sshd` flag (SSH always available via `inst.sshd` + `sshpw` in rescue mode)
+- Added `/debug-setup.sh` HTTP endpoint for nc listener setup from rescue shell
+- Cleaned up `sshd` field from DebugConfig, protocol types, all routes
+
+### 6. Added `labctl provision logs -f`
+- Follow mode with 5-second polling for real-time install monitoring
+
+## What Works
+
+- **PXE discovery → install → boot** — full flow works end-to-end
+- **Anaconda syslog forwarding** — install logs stream to bastion
+- **Progress callbacks** — stage-by-stage install tracking via curl
+- **Auto disk detection** — works for NVMe and SATA
+- **Debug rescue mode** — `labctl provision debug <target>` boots Anaconda rescue with SSH
+- **Network-first boot order** — bastion controls every reboot via efibootmgr
+- **SysRq keys** — emergency reboot via JetKVM keyboard
+
+## What Doesn't Work / Known Issues
+
+- **`--sshd` in rescue mode** — Anaconda rescue mode skips both `%pre` and `%post` kickstart sections. `inst.sshd` + `sshpw` should provide SSH access, but hasn't been verified end-to-end yet. The `/debug-setup.sh` curl workaround exists for nc.
+- **arm64 container build** — iPXE cross-compilation fails on arm64 (GCC flag incompatibility). Workaround: build with `--platforms linux/amd64` only.
+- **Integration test SSH timeout** — VM boots fine but SSH times out due to libvirt nftables reject rules after VM restart. Test infrastructure issue, not a code bug.
+
+## What Was Skipped / Left To Do
+
+1. **Syslog UDP port in k3s** — works because bastion uses `hostNetwork: true`, but should be documented properly
+2. **Background log streamer** — the old `tail -f` approach broke Anaconda filesystem sync. Replaced with syslog forwarding. If more granular %post logging is needed, a synchronous log push at end of %post would be safe.
+3. **Per-machine hardware overrides** — turned out not to be needed (serial console was the only "special" setting, and removing it is universal)
+4. **Ubuntu autoinstall disk default** — `ubuntu-autoinstall.ts` still has `disk || "/dev/sda"` fallback (line 38), should be changed to auto-detect
+5. **Verify `inst.sshd` works in rescue mode** — test SSH with password "debug" next time debug mode is used
+6. **Re-enable TPM in BIOS** — was disabled during debugging, should be factory-reset (user plans to reset BIOS to factory)
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+1. **`console=ttyS0` on hardware without UART = 30s timeout per boot phase.** Never add serial console to kernel cmdline unless the hardware has a verified physical UART.
+2. **Exactly-N-second gaps in boot logs = timeout, not slowness.** Look for the timeout source, not performance issues.
+3. **The bisection approach works.** Systematically removing features one at a time found the root cause. But it took hours because the serial console was added early and seemed harmless.
+4. **Anaconda rescue mode is limited.** It skips `%pre` and `%post`, so you can't automate setup via kickstart. Use `inst.sshd` + `sshpw` for SSH, and serve helper scripts via HTTP for everything else.
+5. **Default disk paths break NVMe machines.** Always default to auto-detect (empty string) rather than `/dev/sda`.
