Michael Chus 4f6579e040 Fix Runtime Health criteria: network, services, nvidia-fabricmanager

Network: green if at least one interface has IPv4 (drop PARTIAL state).

Bee Services: treat inactive as OK — oneshot services (bee-sshsetup,
bee-preflight, bee-network, bee-audit, etc.) complete successfully and
exit to inactive; only failed is a real problem.

nvidia-fabricmanager: add ExecCondition=bee-check-nvswitch drop-in so
the service is silently skipped (inactive, not failed) on systems
without NVSwitch hardware (e.g. H200 NVL with direct NVLink, no
NVSwitch chips). bee-check-nvswitch detects NVSwitch via lspci
(vendor 10de, class 0680).

bee-nvidia.service: add ConditionPathExists=/usr/local/bin/bee-nvidia-load
so the unit is a no-op if somehow present in a non-nvidia build.

bee-boot-status: read /etc/bee-gpu-vendor and exclude bee-nvidia from
CRITICAL/ALL on non-nvidia builds, preventing boot hang if the unit
is unexpectedly present.

ISO Build

bee ISO is built inside a Debian 12 builder container via iso/builder/build-in-container.sh.

Requirements

Docker Desktop or another Docker-compatible container runtime
Privileged containers enabled
Enough free disk space for builder cache, Debian live-build artifacts, NVIDIA driver cache, and CUDA userspace packages

Build On macOS

From the repository root:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh

The script defaults to linux/amd64 builder containers, so it works on:

Intel Mac
Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) via Docker Desktop's Linux VM

You do not need to pass --platform manually for normal ISO builds.

Useful Options

Build with explicit SSH keys baked into the ISO:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --authorized-keys ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Force a clean rebuild of the builder image and build caches:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --clean-build

Use a custom cache directory:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --cache-dir /path/to/cache

Notes

The builder image is automatically rebuilt if the local tag exists for the wrong architecture.
The live ISO boots with Debian live-boot toram, so the read-only medium is copied into RAM during boot and the runtime no longer depends on the original USB/BMC virtual media staying present.
Target systems need enough RAM for the full compressed live medium plus normal runtime overhead, or boot may fail before reaching the TUI.
The NVIDIA variant installs DCGM 4 packages matched to the CUDA user-mode driver major version. For driver branch 590 / CUDA 13.x, the package family is datacenter-gpu-manager-4-cuda13 rather than legacy datacenter-gpu-manager.
Override the container platform only if you know why:

BEE_BUILDER_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh

The shipped ISO is still amd64.
Output ISO artifacts are written under dist/.
