feat(firmware): install probe tools in live image + surface nic/hba gaps
mkosi.conf: add ipmitool, ethtool, nvme-cli so the Firmware stage
can actually read BMC revisions, NIC firmware versions, and fall
back to nvme-cli when sysfs firmware_rev is missing.

firmware.go: probeNICFirmware and probeHBAFirmware now return
(snapshots, warning) so a missing ethtool/lspci surfaces in the
stage log the same way probeBIOS/probeBMC already do. Before, a
host without ethtool silently reported "bios=1 nvme_fw=1
microcode=1" with no hint that nic coverage was dropped.

Vetting live image

Debian-based Linux live image that PXE-booted hosts drop into. Runs the vetting-agent binary under systemd and reaches back to the orchestrator over HTTP+SSE.

Preferred build path: make release

Run make release from the repo root (Linux/WSL) — it builds the live image and bundles it with the orchestrator binary, install scripts, and pinned iPXE SHAs into a single vetting-bundle-<sha>.tar.gz. See ../docs/operations.md for the install flow.

Manual build (dev loop)

On Windows:

wsl make -C live-image all

On Linux:

make -C live-image all

This produces live-image/build/vmlinuz and live-image/build/initrd.img. deploy/pxe-setup.sh picks them up automatically when run from the repo tree — no manual copy needed.

iPXE binaries

The dnsmasq supervisor expects ipxe.efi and undionly.kpxe in pxe.tftp_root. deploy/pxe-setup.sh fetches them from boot.ipxe.org and verifies against pinned SHA256s in deploy/ipxe-shas.txt. Bumping the pins requires a deliberate repo commit.

WSL prerequisites (Windows dev)

sudo apt install mkosi debootstrap squashfs-tools dosfstools
