beatzaplenty 619324589a Unmount everything under /mnt before zpool export, not just the chroot dirs
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m28s
The previous fix (#42) only unmounted /mnt/{dev,proc,sys,run}, but disko
also mounts the ESP at /mnt/boot (modules/disko/baremetal.nix) -- another
nested mount blocking ZFS from unmounting its own root dataset at /mnt
the same way. Confirmed live: zpool export still failed with "cannot
unmount '/mnt': pool or dataset busy" after the chroot-only fix.

Replace the manual dev/proc/sys/run list with a single recursive
`umount -R /mnt`, which clears everything nested under /mnt -- current
and future mountpoints alike -- rather than needing to keep enumerating
whatever nixos-install/disko happen to leave mounted.

Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m20s
nixos-install bind-mounts /dev, /proc, /sys (and usually /run) into
/mnt to run the target's activation script in a chroot, and doesn't
unmount them again afterward. Left in place, those nested mounts made
ZFS refuse to unmount its own root dataset at /mnt: zpool export
failed with "cannot unmount '/mnt': pool or dataset busy", and because
of this script's set -e, that killed the script before it ever reached
reboot -- silently defeating the export-before-reboot fix from #40 on
every real run, which is why the ZFS-import stall kept recurring.

beatzaplenty 5d7a6327b7 Allow initrd emergency shell access on baremetal-gui
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m45s
The systemd-based initrd (default here, since this host has a ZFS
root) locks the root account by default, so sulogin refuses a shell
if something in the initrd fails and it drops to emergency mode --
confirmed live: it just loops re-entering the target instead of
prompting, making an initrd-level ZFS import failure impossible to
diagnose from the console. Only affects the pre-switch-root initrd
shell, not the installed system's own login.

beatzaplentyandClaude Sonnet 5 9479d56e11 Export ZFS root pool before rebooting from the auto-installer
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m19s
disko's --mode ...,mount leaves the pool imported (needed for
nixos-install to write into /mnt), and the script rebooted straight
into the newly-installed system without exporting it. That pool is
still stamped with the live installer's own hostid, which never
matches the target host's declared networking.hostId, and since
boot.zfs.forceImportRoot is false (the recommended setting, not a bug),
the first real boot refuses to force-import an unexported pool from a
different hostid -- which is exactly the ZFS-import stall baremetal-gui
was hitting after install. Exporting all pools right before reboot (a
no-op for non-ZFS hosts) clears the in-use state so import succeeds
regardless of hostid.

beatzaplenty 79e8f9f2ce Prompt for a host-key path interactively as a third fallback
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m19s
If neither /etc/host-keys nor /root/host-keys has the target's SSH
host key, auto-install.sh previously went straight to "continue
without one anyway?". Added a third option in between, gated on
[[ -t 0 ]] (only offered when there's an actual operator at stdin, never
in an unattended/non-interactive run): prompt for an arbitrary
directory (USB stick, other mount, etc.), and if the key pair is
there, copy it into /root/host-keys and install it to /mnt same as the
existing pre-seeded-key path. Falls through to the original
warning+confirm if the prompt is skipped, the path doesn't have the
key, or the run isn't interactive at all.

docs/auto-installer.md updated to mention the new fallback. Quick
bash -n + shellcheck pass only, per request.

beatzaplenty b46424343f Wrap auto-install.sh in a nix-shell shebang for its required tools
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m20s
Running the script standalone (its whole point per the last commit)
failed with "disko: command not found" -- jq/disko/nixos-install are
only guaranteed present via the built installer image's
environment.systemPackages, not on a plain checkout.

Added a #!/usr/bin/env nix-shell / #!nix-shell -i bash -p jq disko
nixos-install-tools shebang instead of a per-tool fallback: disko's own
generated scripts already hardcode absolute Nix store paths for
everything they shell out to internally (parted/sgdisk/mkfs.*/zfs/...
confirmed by inspecting a generated system.build.formatScript earlier),
so these three are the only genuinely external dependencies the script
itself has. This is a fast no-op on the built installer image (already
has all three) and what makes it also work standalone.

Quick syntax + shellcheck pass only this round (bash -n, shellcheck
with a `shellcheck shell=bash` directive since it doesn't recognize
nix-shell shebangs natively) -- skipping the full codex-maintenance.sh
sweep per request, to get this out for a real hardware test.

beatzaplenty f565e9c2a1 Fix auto-install.sh to work standalone, not just baked into the image
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 11m6s
Two real bugs, both hit live:

1. Shebang: #!/run/current-system/sw/bin/bash only resolves on an
   already-activated NixOS system -- running the checked-out script
   directly (e.g. from a stock ISO, cloned repo) failed with "cannot
   execute: required file not found" on a non-NixOS box. Switched to
   #!/usr/bin/env bash, which resolves identically on NixOS
   (environment.usrbinenv's own default) and any normal Linux distro.
   Also fixed the file's missing executable bit.

2. FLAKE_BASE_URL: previously depended on pkgs.replaceVars substituting
   a Nix-templated @lanDomain@ placeholder at build time -- meaning it
   only ever worked when baked into the built installer image, not when
   run straight from a checkout (the literal, unexpanded "@lanDomain@"
   string reached git as a bogus hostname). Replaced with LAN_DOMAIN in
   scripts/env.sh (manually kept in sync with variables.nix's lanDomain,
   same pattern as NIX_CACHE_HOST/nixCacheHost already), sourced by the
   script itself like every other script in scripts/. Dropped
   pkgs.replaceVars from modules/installer/common.nix entirely --
   scripts/env.sh is now baked into the image alongside auto-install.sh
   at a matching relative path (/etc/nixos-installer/env.sh next to
   /etc/nixos-installer/installer/auto-install.sh) so the script's own
   relative `source` line resolves the same way in both contexts.

loginShellInit's invocation path and docs/auto-installer.md updated to
match. Verified: shellcheck clean on both scripts, the baked files are
byte-identical to their checked-in sources (no templating left to
verify), and codex-maintenance.sh (secret grep, fmt, statix, full eval
of every host/package including the installer/pxe artifacts) passes
clean.

`<<<<<<< Updated upstream` markers in an intermediate commit before
being cleaned up. modules/disko/baremetal.nix references both directly
with no fallback, so baremetal-gui has been failing to evaluate on main
since that commit ("attribute 'guiRootDisk1' missing") -- confirmed by
cloning main fresh and evaluating config.disko.devices.disk.disk1.device
directly.

This commit is rebased onto latest main (through "updated secrets",
which registered baremetal-gui's real sops recipient) rather than the
older base this branch started from.

beatzaplenty 12a2354fad Move auto-install.sh out of Nix config into a real script file
Moves the auto-installer's shell script from an inline Nix string in
modules/installer/common.nix to scripts/installer/auto-install.sh, a
real, version-controlled, directly-editable/shellcheck-able file.
common.nix now wires it in with pkgs.replaceVars, substituting the one
value that actually needs to come from variables.nix (lanDomain) --
every other `${...}` in the script is a literal bash reference, left
untouched. replaceVars fails the build if any @name@-shaped placeholder
is left unsubstituted, so a typo'd or renamed variable is caught at
eval time rather than silently shipping broken.

Verified: built the substituted derivation and diffed it against the
source template -- identical except for the one substituted line, no
leftover unsubstituted placeholders. Full codex-maintenance.sh (secret
grep, fmt, statix, full eval of every host/package including the
installer/pxe artifacts that consume this) passes clean.

for `LAN_DOMAIN` (`export LAN_DOMAIN`/`: "${LAN_DOMAIN:=...}"`, matching
`variables.nix`'s `lanDomain` — manually kept in sync, same pattern as
`NIX_CACHE_HOST` mirroring `nixCacheHost`), rather than Nix-level string
substitution — that's what makes it work identically whether run
straight from a git checkout or from inside the built installer image.
`common.nix` bakes `scripts/env.sh` in alongside it at a matching
relative path (`/etc/nixos-installer/env.sh` next to
`/etc/nixos-installer/installer/auto-install.sh`) so the script's own
