live-image: mark mkosi.postinst executable in git index
mkosi refuses to run a non-executable postinst. git was tracking it
as 100644 because it was added from Windows (no POSIX exec bit on the
FS), so CI saw a non-executable file even though WSL/Linux had been
treating it fine locally. Same fix applied earlier to install.sh +
pxe-setup.sh.

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
