- nvidia collector: read pcie.link.gen.current/max from nvidia-smi instead
of sysfs to avoid false Gen1 readings when GPU is in ASPM idle state
- build: remove bee-nccl-gpu-stress from rm -f list so shell script from
overlay is not silently dropped from the ISO
- smoketest: add explicit checks for bee-gpu-burn, bee-john-gpu-stress,
bee-nccl-gpu-stress, all_reduce_perf
- netconf: re-exec via sudo when not root to fix RTNETLINK/resolv.conf errors
- auto/config: reduce loglevel 7→3 to show clean systemd output on boot
- auto/config: blacklist snd_hda_intel and related audio modules (unused on servers)
- package-lists: remove firmware-intel-sound and firmware-amd-graphics from
base list; move firmware-amd-graphics to bee-amd variant only
- bible-local: mark memtest ADR resolved, document working solution

- build.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd; separate work dirs per variant
(live-build-work-nvidia / live-build-work-amd); GPU-specific steps
(modules, NCCL, cuBLAS, nccl-tests) run only for nvidia; deb package
cache synced back to shared location after each lb build so second
variant reuses downloaded packages; ISO output named
easy-bee-{variant}-v{ver}-amd64.iso
- build-in-container.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd|all (default: all);
runs build.sh twice in one container for 'all'; --clean-build wipes
both variant work dirs
- package-lists: remove GPU packages from bee.list.chroot; add
bee-nvidia.list.chroot (DCGM) and bee-amd.list.chroot (ROCm)
- 9000-bee-setup hook: read /etc/bee-gpu-vendor; enable bee-nvidia.service
and DCGM only for nvidia; set up ROCm symlinks only for amd
- auto/config: --iso-volume uses BEE_GPU_VENDOR_UPPER env var
- grub.cfg: add nomodeset to EASY-BEE and EASY-BEE (load to RAM) entries
— fixes X/lightdm on BMC KVM (ASPEED AST chip requires nomodeset for
fbdev to work; NVIDIA H100 compute does not need KMS)
- bee.sh / smoketest.sh: add /usr/sbin to PATH so dmidecode, smartctl,
nvme are found
- 9100-memtest hook: add diagnostic listing of chroot/boot/memtest* files

Alpine uses mdev which has no rules for NVIDIA devices. Without /dev/nvidiactl
and /dev/nvidia{0-7}, nvidia-smi returns NVML_ERROR_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND (exit 12)
even though kernel modules are loaded and libraries are present.
Fix: after insmod, read major numbers from /proc/devices and mknod the required
character devices (/dev/nvidiactl, /dev/nvidia{0-7}, /dev/nvidia-uvm).
Add /dev/nvidia* node checks to smoketest for earlier failure detection.

- bee-audit init.d: use --output file: so "audit output written" is logged
(stdout mode silently redirects, never emits the slog confirmation)
- build-nvidia-module.sh: use $KERNEL_SRC in find for .ko collection
(was hardcoded $EXTRACT_DIR/kernel, silent failure if path differs)
- smoketest: add bee-audit to required services (was never checked)
- smoketest: remove legacy bee-audit-debug from service list
- smoketest: internet ping → warn (live CD runs in isolated network, no internet)
- build.sh: auto-copy smoketest.sh → overlay/usr/local/bin/bee-smoketest
(removes manual sync hazard; smoketest.sh is now single source of truth)
- remove static overlay/usr/local/bin/bee-smoketest (generated by build.sh now)

- Pin linux-lts to exact KERNEL_PKG_VERSION=6.12.76-r0 in build and ISO package list
- Add build-time verification that compiled kernel version matches pin (fails loudly)
- Fix bee-audit-debug → bee-audit in genapkovl OpenRC registration (service was never starting)
- Add AUDIT_VERSION=0.1.0 to VERSIONS (was undefined, bee-release had empty fields)
- Pin linux-lts-dev version in second apk add in build-nvidia-module.sh
- Add /root/.profile to overlay so /usr/local/bin is in PATH for SSH sessions
- Remove "DEBUG MODE" from motd
- Fix smoketest: grep for slog "audit output written" instead of non-existent "audit completed"
- Document no-internet constraint in system-overview and runtime-flows
- Remove redundant genapkovl copy to /var/tmp (now found via ~/.mkimage/)

gpu_burn requires CUDA toolkit (~4GB) to build and the resulting binary
would significantly inflate the ISO. Removed from vendor tool list and
smoketest. build-gpu-burn.sh dropped as well.

## ISO build consolidation
- Remove separate debug/prod split: overlay-debug/, build-debug.sh,
mkimg.bee_debug.sh, genapkovl-bee_debug.sh all deleted
- Single overlay: iso/overlay/ (was overlay-debug content)
- Single build script: build.sh (SSH, TUI, NVIDIA, vendor tools, bee-release)
- Single mkimage profile: bee (with dropbear, dialog, strace, gcompat, etc.)
## NVIDIA fixes
- Modules now stored at /usr/local/lib/nvidia/ instead of
/lib/modules/<kver>/extra/nvidia/ — modloop squashfs mounts over that
path at boot making overlay content there inaccessible
- bee-nvidia init: load via insmod (absolute path), not modprobe
- bee-nvidia init: create libnvidia-ml.so.1/libcuda.so.1 symlinks in /usr/lib/
- build-nvidia-module.sh: always install linux-lts-dev (not conditional) —
stale 6.6.x headers caused wrong-kernel modules that never loaded at runtime
- build-nvidia-module.sh: create soname symlinks in cache
- KERNEL_VERSION in VERSIONS updated 6.6 → 6.12
- gcompat added to ISO packages (nvidia-smi is a glibc binary on musl Alpine)
## Service ordering
- bee-audit: add `after bee-nvidia` so NVIDIA enrichment always succeeds
## New tooling
- iso/builder/smoketest.sh: SSH smoke test for post-boot ISO validation
- iso/builder/build-gpu-burn.sh: builds gpu_burn vendor binary (CUDA 12.8+)
- vendor/gpu_burn included automatically if placed in iso/vendor/
