Booting via BMC virtual CD reads the ~2.8 GB filesystem squashfs sequentially during the live-boot toram copy; a mid-read drop of the redirected medium loses the whole copy and fails the boot (v14). Split the rootfs into self-contained semantic layers so a retry re-reads at most one ~500-700 MiB layer, not everything. This is a resilience / reduced-re-read mechanism, not a fix for the virtual-media instability. NVIDIA variants now ship 7 layers (00-base, 05-firmware, 08-desktop, 10-nvidia-driver, 20-nvidia-platform, 30-nvidia-cuda-libs, 40-nvidia-dcgm-cuda) plus an explicit live/filesystem.module that fixes their OverlayFS order; amd/nogpu keep a single squashfs. - lib/squashfs-layers.sh: deterministic classifier (dpkg file ownership plus explicit rules for build.sh-injected files, never a path substring), per-layer mksquashfs, 800 MiB hard ceiling, unsquashfs -s plus strict extraction of every layer, merged-rootfs bootability check. - build.sh: split the monolith after the full lb build, verify and merge, write the module file, delete the monolith only then; abort before ISO assembly on any failure. Runs the builder test suites up front. - fast-path: force a full build for a multi-layer medium; fast_path_repack_squashfs hard-refuses (it would drop layers). - iso-validation.sh: validate_iso_squashfs_layers (module vs layer set match, size ceiling, no lone giant squashfs) and validate_iso_media_integrity (xorriso -check_media). - bee-install: honour filesystem.module order, abort on any layer failure. - 9013-toram-retry: record the real rsync exit code (it printed a false rc=0) and correct the "resumes the tail" comment (rsync without --partial keeps only fully-copied layers). No unsafe partial resume. - tests: test-squashfs-layers.sh plus a multi-layer guard in test-build-libs.sh; both run at the top of every build. - docs: bible-local architecture and decision, iso/README, iso-build-rules. Verified by a full nvidia build: 7 layers 622/199/256/466/37/567/562 MiB, every validator passes, xorriso -check_media good, merged rootfs bootable.
