Summary

  • Kickstart logging overhaul: error trapping (trap ERR), 12+ granular progress stages, background log streamer, bastion_log() function
  • New /api/log endpoint: per-MAC log buffer with file persistence, SSE streaming with named events (stage vs log)
  • Progress forwarded to labd via bastion-progress WebSocket message
  • Post-provision logs routed through progressBus (was console-only)
  • dnsmasq fixes: HTTP Boot filename, pxe-service conditional on proxy mode, PXEClient vendor class echo
  • PXE + ISO integration tests: full end-to-end VM tests with libvirt (discovery → install → SSH verification)
  • test-provision.sh: single script to run both test paths

Test plan

  • 201 unit tests passing (11 new)
  • PXE boot VM test: discovery ✓, install ✓, progress stages ✓, complete ✓ (SSH timeout needs tuning)
  • ISO boot VM test: not yet run (same flow, different boot method)
  • Real hardware test on SER9

feat: server kickstart with LVM, user creation, progress callbacks, reprovision fac14b6d4a 
- LVM partition layout: /, /var, /var/log, /home, /srv, swap, tmpfs /tmp
  plus /var/lib/longhorn for worker role (grows to fill disk)
- Reprovision preserves /home, /srv, /var/lib/longhorn via %pre detection
- Admin user created matching the user running the bastion script
  with SSH keys from authorized_keys + local pubkeys, passwordless sudo
- Progress callbacks from %pre and %post to /api/progress endpoint
  with IP reported on completion (ssh command printed)
- Installed machines boot from local disk (iPXE exit) instead of
  re-entering discovery mode
- --role worker|infra flag (infra skips longhorn partition)
- reprovision subcommand: queues install + SSH reboot into PXE
- Self-cleanup: kills old bastion instances on start
- Domain config (DOMAIN env, default ad.itaz.eu)
- efibootmgr in %post to set local disk first in boot order
- k3s prereqs: kernel modules, sysctl, firewalld disabled, chrony
- VM reprovision test script (test-reprovision.sh)

feat: TypeScript bastion rewrite (initial scaffold) 177e993736 
Full rewrite of the bash bastion.sh into a TypeScript application:
- Fastify HTTP server with typed routes (dispatch, kickstart, API)
- Commander CLI (serve, install, list, reprovision)
- Kickstart templates as TypeScript template literals (no more heredoc hell)
- dnsmasq management via execa subprocess
- Merged machine list view (hardware + install info in one table)
- Containerized via podman-compose (Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml)
- All partition logic preserved (LVM, reprovision detection, role-based)

Not yet tested end-to-end — needs VM validation before replacing bash version.

fix: add --skip-dnsmasq/--skip-artifacts flags, fix config propagation 937c01f5d9 
Enables running the TS bastion without dnsmasq for testing.
VM-tested: SSH works, partitions correct, k3s prereqs configured.

refactor: restructure bastion as pnpm monorepo (@lab/shared, @lab/bastion, @lab/cli) 64533b2dcf 
- Split into 3 workspace packages: shared (types/constants), bastion (server), cli
- CLI binary renamed from "bastion" to "lab"
- Cross-package imports via @lab/shared and @lab/bastion workspace references
- Extracted BastionConfig, BastionState, HardwareInfo types into @lab/shared
- Added APP_NAME/APP_VERSION constants
- tsconfig.base.json with project references for build ordering
- Root workspace scripts: build, test, typecheck, clean

feat: CLI subcommands, PID self-restart, unit tests (22 passing) 62f896593d 
CLI restructured:
  lab init bastion standalone start/stop/status
  lab provision list/install/reprovision/forget

- Nested commander subcommand groups (init > bastion > standalone, provision)
- PID file management: auto-kills old bastion on start, cleans up on stop
- stop command reads PID file and sends SIGTERM
- status command shows running state, port, machine counts
- forget command (DELETE /api/machines/:mac) removes from all state

Unit tests (22 tests, 3 files):
- kickstart.test.ts: worker/infra roles, SSH keys, partitions, admin user
- state.test.ts: load/save, atomic writes
- dispatch.test.ts: install/discover/local-boot routing, progress, forget

feat: firewall management + reprovision SSH key fix d01b675cca 
- Open firewall ports (dhcp, tftp, http, 4011) on bastion start
- Close firewall ports on bastion shutdown
- Auto-detect firewall zone for interface
- Fix reprovision SSH to use execFileSync with explicit key path

feat: multi-architecture builds (x86_64 + arm64) 52e1932bde 
- build-rpm.sh: --arch flag for targeting x86_64 or arm64, --all for both
  Uses bun cross-compile with --target=bun-linux-x64/arm64
- build-bastion.sh: --arch flag for Docker platform targeting
- release.sh: builds both architectures by default
- CI: builds + publishes RPM/DEB for both architectures

fix: PID file permission handling + root check 4d2e8677d4 
- Require root when dnsmasq is needed (clear error message)
- Handle stale PID files owned by different user (remove + recreate)
- Create bastion dir with 755 permissions
- 3 new PID file tests (30 total)

feat: daemonize bastion start, fix status for root-owned processes 7cfd8fe1b8 
- `lab init bastion standalone start` now runs in background by default
- `--foreground` flag for running in foreground (debugging/containers)
- Shows startup output then detaches with PID + log path
- Status command uses /proc check instead of kill -0 (works cross-user)

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).

ARM integration test:
- arm-iso-provision.test.ts: aarch64 VM boots from bastion-generated ISO
- Uses QEMU aarch64 emulation (slow but validates the R1 scenario)
- Generous timeouts for emulated boot (15min discovery, 60min install)
- test-provision.sh updated: `sudo ./scripts/test-provision.sh arm`

VM boot fixes:
- setBootDisk() preserves UEFI loader/nvram when switching to disk boot
- /boot/efi mount gets nofail in fstab (prevents emergency mode in VMs)
- chronyd enable uses || true (fails in kickstart chroot)
- createIsoVm supports arch parameter for ARM VMs

Note: SSH-after-reboot in OVMF VMs still fails — OVMF doesn't respect
efibootmgr changes and loops PXE/HTTP Boot. Real hardware works fine.
The install flow itself (discovery → kickstart → complete) is validated.

- Kickstart %post now restores network-first EFI boot order (undoes
  Anaconda's disk-first default). Grep pattern includes HTTP boot entries.
- Test force-restarts VM after install so OVMF rereads NVRAM.
- VM successfully network-boots after install, hits /dispatch, bastion
  returns exit (local boot). Confirmed in test logs.
- nofail on /boot/efi fstab entry prevents emergency mode.
- Remaining: Fedora disk boot after iPXE exit may still fail.

- VMs get serial console on TCP (PXE: port 4555, ISO: port 4556)
- serialExec() helper: runs commands via telnet when SSH/network is down
- PXE test: on SSH failure, dumps hostname, IP, NetworkManager, sshd,
  failed units, and fstab via serial console before failing
- Kickstart enables serial-getty@ttyS0 for auto-login on serial
