The ISO carried only the three entry scripts launch.sh dispatches to;
tui-install.sh, its modules/ and the desktopenvs/ configs it deploys existed
solely inside the repo the installer clones at run time. A live environment
without working networking therefore ran the whole install and only failed at
the very last step, on a missing /home/<user>/Dotfiles/setup/tui-install.sh.
build.sh now embeds the entire setup/ tree at /installer (so every installer
script is on the ISO), plus a full repo snapshot — .git included, so a seeded
checkout is a real repo — at /installer/dotfiles. launch.sh moves there too
and the overlay/motd/docs follow; profiledef's file_permissions list is
repointed, which matters because mkarchiso hard-errors on an entry whose path
does not exist.
Tree resolution in both installers is now: an existing checkout, else a fresh
clone (online installs still get what is newest), else the ISO snapshot. Each
candidate is accepted only if it actually contains setup/tui-install.sh — the
old check was a bare `-d .git`, which any leftover or half-finished checkout
satisfied.
Sudo can no longer stop the install to ask for a password:
- before the chroot hands over to the TUI, the temporary NOPASSWD drop-in is
proven with `sudo -n true` and `sudo -n -v` (both forms modules rely on).
A rule that didn't apply now skips the TUI instead of stalling forever on a
hidden prompt, and the drop-in is removed on that path too rather than
being left behind as permanent passwordless sudo;
- tui-install.sh's root sudo shim moves to the top of the file, ahead of the
require_jq() bootstrap that shells out through sudo, so running it as root
straight from /installer never needs a real sudo binary.

Move the build and deployment scripts into setup/tools alongside the existing
generators (proxmox-lxc-gen.sh, freeipa-image.sh, generate-modules.sh):
- setup/generate-answerfile.sh -> setup/tools/generate-answerfile.sh
- setup/archiso/build.sh -> setup/tools/build.sh
- setup/archiso/wds-deploy.sh -> setup/tools/wds-deploy.sh
- setup/archiso/write-usb.sh -> setup/tools/write-usb.sh
The archiso overlay/ (profile data: airootfs, profiledef.sh, packages.extra)
stays in setup/archiso/; build.sh now resolves it via an OVERLAY_DIR anchored
at the repo root, and DOTFILES_DIR is corrected for the new two-levels-deep
location. Updated every reference (generate-modules.sh, readme.md,
docs/md/{archiso,installation,index}.md).
generate-answerfile.sh: add linux-hardened to the kernel menu; verified its
emitted answerfile schema still matches every field the installers consume
(drive/kernel/keymap/hostname/username/password/luks_password/encrypt/
fido2_*/run_tui/components/desktop_environment/apps/shell_rc/colors).
Docs: add a dedicated ansipa Setup Guide (docs/md/ansipa-setup.md) covering
architecture, the full port list, the nginx portal + reverse-proxy paths, the
exact upstream reverse-proxy snippets (nginx/Caddy), NAT/push-mode behaviour,
and the Arch autofs/AUR caveat; link it from the index and cross-reference the
CheckMK/nginx ports from freeipa-ansible.md.

Enable the netboot buildmode in profiledef.sh so mkarchiso produces a
netboot tarball (kernel + initrd + squashfs) alongside the ISO. Add
--netboot-url flag to build.sh which generates a ready-to-chainload
m-archy-netboot.ipxe script. Document the full netboot.xyz deployment
workflow in docs/md/archiso.md.
