Servers with NVIDIA compute GPUs (H100 etc.) have no display output,
so KMS blanks the console. nomodeset disables kernel modesetting and
lets the NVIDIA proprietary driver handle display via Xorg.
KMS variant moved to advanced submenu for cases where it is needed.

- bee-nvidia-load: run insmod in background, poll /proc/devices for
nvidiactl; if GSP init doesn't complete in 90s, kill insmod and retry
with NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0. Handles EBUSY case with clear error.
- Write /run/bee-nvidia-mode (gsp-on/gsp-off/gsp-stuck) for audit layer
- Show GSP mode badge in sidebar: yellow for gsp-off, red for gsp-stuck
- Report NvidiaGSPMode in RuntimeHealth with issue entries
- Simplify GRUB menu: default (KMS+GSP), advanced submenu (GSP=off,
nomodeset, fail-safe), remove load-to-RAM entry
- Add pcmanfm, ristretto, mupdf, mousepad to desktop packages

- Add feh and python3-pil to package list
- Add chroot hook that generates /usr/share/bee/wallpaper.png using PIL:
black background, EASY-BEE box-drawing logo in amber (#f6c90e),
"Hardware Audit LiveCD" subtitle in dim amber — matches motd exactly
- bee-openbox-session: set wallpaper with feh --bg-fill, fall back to
xsetroot -solid black if wallpaper not found

- Set xsetroot solid background (#12100a, dark amber) so openbox
doesn't show bare black before Chromium opens
- Re-add healthz wait loop before launching Chromium: without it
Chromium opens localhost/loading before bee-web is up and gets
connection-refused which renders as a blank white page

Add TTYReset=yes and TTYVHangup=yes so systemd restores the terminal
to a clean state before handing tty1 to getty. Without this the screen
went black with no cursor after the status display finished.
Also remove DefaultDependencies=no which was too aggressive.

Command substitution in sh strips trailing newlines, so accumulating
output in a variable via $(...) lost all line breaks. Reverted to
direct printf calls which work correctly.

- Refresh every 3s instead of 1s to reduce flicker
- Show ssh, bee-sshsetup in service list
- Show failure reason for failed services
- Show last journal line for activating services
- Show IP addresses and web UI URL when network is up
- Render frame to variable before printing to reduce flicker

loglevel=6 floods the screen with mpt3sas/scsi/sd informational
messages, hiding systemd service status and bee-boot-status display.
loglevel=3 shows only kernel errors; all messages still go to serial.

- Add bee-boot-status service: shows live service status on tty1 with
ASCII logo before getty, exits when all bee services settle
- Remove lightdm dependency on bee-preflight so GUI starts immediately
without waiting for NVIDIA driver load
- Replace Chromium blank-page problem with /loading spinner page that
polls /api/services and auto-redirects when services are ready; add
"Open app now" override button; use fresh --user-data-dir=/tmp/bee-chrome
- Unify branding: add "Hardware Audit LiveCD" subtitle to GRUB menu,
bee-boot-status (with yellow ASCII logo), and web spinner

Raise loglevel from 3 to 6 (INFO) and add systemd.show_status=1 so
kernel driver messages and systemd [ OK ]/[ FAILED ] lines are visible
during boot instead of showing only a blank cursor.

All final artefacts for a given version now land in one place:
dist/easy-bee-v4.1/
easy-bee-nvidia-v4.1-amd64.iso
easy-bee-nvidia-v4.1-amd64.logs.tar.gz ← log archive
(logs dir deleted after archiving)
- Introduce OUT_DIR="${DIST_DIR}/easy-bee-v${ISO_VERSION_EFFECTIVE}"
- Move LOG_DIR, LOG_ARCHIVE, and ISO_OUT into OUT_DIR
- cleanup_build_log: use dirname(LOG_DIR) as tar -C base so the path is
correct regardless of where OUT_DIR lives; delete LOG_DIR after archiving

When 8 john processes start simultaneously they race for GPU memory during
OpenCL GWS auto-tuning. Slower devices settle on a smaller work size (~594MiB
vs 762MiB) and run at 40% instead of 100% load. Add 3s sleep between launches
so each instance finishes memory allocation before the next one starts.

- bee-john-gpu-stress: spawn one john process per OpenCL device in parallel
so all GPUs are stressed simultaneously instead of only device 1
- bee-openbox-session: --start-fullscreen → --start-maximized to fix blank
white page on first render in fbdev environment
- storage collector: skip Virtual HDisk* devices reported by BMC/iDRAC

- 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

- Burn tab: replace 6 flat cards with 3 grouped cards (GPU Stress,
Compute Stress, Platform Thermal Cycling) + global Burn Profile
- Run All button at top enqueues all enabled tests across all cards
- GPU Stress: tool checkboxes enabled/disabled via new /api/gpu/tools
endpoint based on driver status (/dev/nvidia0, /dev/kfd)
- Compute Stress: checkboxes for cpu/memory-stress/stressapptest
- Platform Thermal Cycling: component checkboxes (cpu/nvidia/amd)
with platform_components param wired through to PlatformStressOptions
- bee-gpu-burn: default size-mb changed from 64 to 0 (auto); script
now queries nvidia-smi memory.total per GPU and uses 95% of it
- platform_stress: removed hardcoded --size-mb 64; respects Components
field to selectively run CPU and/or GPU load goroutines

ISO 9660 volume labels allow only A-Z, 0-9, and underscore.
Dashes cause xorriso WARNING on every build.
EASY-BEE-NVIDIA → EASY_BEE_NVIDIA (iso-application keeps dashes, it's UDF).

memtest86+ postinst does not place files in /boot in a live-build chroot
without grub triggers. Added fallback: extract directly from the cached
.deb via dpkg-deb -x, with verbose logging throughout.
Also remove "NVIDIA no MSI-X" from boot menu (premature — root cause unknown).

live-build picks up ALL .list.chroot files in config/package-lists/.
After rsync, bee-nvidia.list.chroot, bee-amd.list.chroot, and
bee-nogpu.list.chroot all end up in BUILD_WORK_DIR — causing lb to
try installing packages from every variant (and leaving version
placeholders unsubstituted in the unused lists).
Fix: after copying bee-${BEE_GPU_VENDOR}.list.chroot → bee-gpu.list.chroot,
delete all other bee-{nvidia,amd,nogpu}.list.chroot from BUILD_WORK_DIR.
Also includes nomsi boot mode changes (bee-nvidia-load + grub.cfg).
