Summary

Wires the install.sh menu to use the TS hardware-detect module shipped by #5642. Replaces the GPU-only inline lspci heuristic with the TS module's richer GPU+storage+CPU classification, plus a graceful fallback if bun or the TS file isn't reachable.

What gets detected now

Heuristic Old (inline lspci) New (TS module)
GPU detected → `worker-gpu` → `worker-gpu`
≥4 disks + ≥64GB RAM not detected → `worker-template` (storage-heavy)
≥16 cores + ≥32GB RAM not detected → `worker-template` (CPU-heavy)
Default → `control-plane` → `control-plane`

Composition path

  1. `SCRIPT_DIR` resolves script's own directory
  2. `HWDETECT_REPO_ROOT` = two-dirs-up from `full-ai-cluster/usb-nixos-installer/`
  3. If `bun` on PATH AND TS file exists → `bun ... --suggested-host`
  4. If unavailable OR returns empty → fall back to original inline lspci heuristic (degraded but functional)

Test plan

  • `bash -n` syntax check passed
  • Docker harness passed in 15s
  • Tree-count canary 61 (clean)
  • End-to-end on actual USB boot: verify suggested host correctly classifies storage-heavy node (4+ NVMe + 64GB+ RAM)

Closes

Closes operator's "getting the menu fixed so it has all the cluster types we talked about — storage cpu gpu etc... and letting you select multiple or detecting based on hardware" at the detection-based-on-hardware scope. Multi-select-cluster-types remains a future B-0792-extension (requires flake-shape refactor for per-node role-tagging).

…dware-detect.ts (extends GPU-only inline lspci → GPU+storage+CPU classification with fallback)

PR #5642 shipped the TS module + 24 unit tests for hardware
classification (GPU + storage shape + CPU vendor + memory + suggested
host). This commit wires the install.sh menu to call it for
suggested-host, replacing the inline lspci-only heuristic.

The TS module's logic is strictly richer than the inline replacement:

| Heuristic              | Old (inline lspci)        | New (TS module)                        |
|------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| GPU detected           | → worker-gpu              | → worker-gpu                           |
| ≥4 disks + ≥64GB RAM   | not detected              | → worker-template (storage-heavy)      |
| ≥16 cores + ≥32GB RAM  | not detected              | → worker-template (CPU-heavy)          |
| Default                | → control-plane           | → control-plane                        |

Composition path:

1. SCRIPT_DIR resolves the script's own directory
2. HWDETECT_REPO_ROOT = $SCRIPT_DIR/../.. (two-dirs-up from
   full-ai-cluster/usb-nixos-installer/ → repo root)
3. HWDETECT_TS = $HWDETECT_REPO_ROOT/tools/installer/zeta-hardware-detect.ts
4. If `bun` on PATH AND TS file exists → run `bun ... --suggested-host`
5. If unavailable OR returns empty → fall back to original inline
   lspci-only heuristic (degraded but functional)
6. Menu text + default-choice logic unchanged; only the SUGGESTED_HOST
   computation source differs

The fallback ensures the menu still works in degraded environments
(no bun on PATH, missing TS file, TS module crash) — operator can
still pick a host attribute via the numbered menu. Substrate-honest
disclosure: the fallback's GPU-only heuristic IS less precise than
the TS module's GPU+storage+CPU classification, so falling back loses
the storage-heavy and CPU-heavy detection — but doesn't break flow.

Menu output now distinguishes the three suggestion classes:

- worker-gpu  → "GPU detected — likely worker node"
- worker-template → "storage-heavy OR CPU-heavy node — customize per
                    PROVISIONING.md cookie-cutter workflow"
- control-plane → "no GPU + not storage/CPU-heavy — defaulting to
                   control-plane"

Validation:
- bash -n syntax check passed
- Docker harness (bun tools/ci/docker-nixos-install-sh-test.ts) passed
  in 15s

Composes with:
- #5642 (TS module + tests landing)
- #5635 (cluster-type menu extension that established the
  numbered-menu structure this commit upgrades)
- B-0857.3 (next: factor zeta-install.sh body into callable
  nixos-install-from-usb.sh)

Closes operator's "getting the menu fixed so it has all the cluster
types we talked about — storage cpu gpu etc... and letting you select
multiple or detecting based on hardware etc..." at the
detection-based-on-hardware scope. Multi-select-cluster-types remains
a future B-0792-extension (requires flake-shape refactor to support
role-tagging per node).

Pull request overview

Wires the existing inline GPU-only lspci heuristic in zeta-install.sh to invoke the TS module tools/installer/zeta-hardware-detect.ts (from #5642), broadening the suggested-host classification to also recognize storage-heavy and CPU-heavy nodes, with a graceful fallback to the original inline heuristic when bun or the TS file is unreachable.

Changes:

  • Resolve SCRIPT_DIR and HWDETECT_REPO_ROOT (two dirs up) and invoke bun .../zeta-hardware-detect.ts --suggested-host when available, capturing the single-line attribute.
  • Preserve the original inline lspci heuristic as a degraded fallback path, tagged in a separate SUGGESTED_REASON string.
  • Replace the if/else GPU-only display block with a case covering worker-gpu, worker-template, and default control-plane messaging.

…D018 fix (Copilot 6 threads on #5648)

Comprehensive accuracy rewrite addressing all 6 Copilot findings:

1. "no more re-entering" overclaim — passphraseMode=interactive
   DOES prompt every boot via systemd-ask-password. Reframed
   accurately: N per-tool login flows → ONE cred-blob passphrase.
   The improvement is atomicity, not zero typing.

2. Install log lines mismatch — restored to match actual zeta-install.sh
   output (Step 6.56 + Step 6.95-picker actual strings).

3. /boot path correctness — preserved (#5644 already fixed
   producer/consumer alignment to /mnt/boot ↔ /boot).

4. Manifest coverage — included gemini + codex paths
   (~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json, ~/.codex/auth.json) plus the
   full default-manifest table.

5. Second-reboot expectation — corrected: interactive mode prompts
   every boot by design. Operator who wants no-prompt-at-boot can
   switch to passphraseMode="file" (with security tradeoff named).

6. Filename reference — zeta-creds-cli.ts → zeta-creds-manifest.ts
   (actual canonical location of defaultManifest).

Also fixes MD018 lint failure: line "#5639 + #5640 + #5643 + #5644 +"
was being parsed as an ATX heading because # was at column 1. Replaced
the line-wrapped PR-number prose with the default-manifest table
(more useful + no MD018 trigger).

Composes with:
- B-0852 cred-persistence cascade (PRs that ACTUALLY ship: #5635,
  #5637, #5639, #5640, #5641, #5642, #5644, #5645, #5646, #5648,
  #5649, #5650; #5638 + #5643 were superseded → closed without merge)
- common.nix passphraseMode=interactive default (PR #5640)

…o-end verification checklist for operator) (#5648)

* docs(provisioning): add cred-restore smoke-test section — first-boot + post-reboot + second-reboot verification + troubleshooting table (B-0852 end-to-end)

The B-0852 cred-persistence cascade (PRs #5635 + #5637 + #5638 +
#5639 + #5640 + #5643 + #5644 + #5646) closes the operator's
'don't re-enter creds over and over' pain point. This docs addition
gives operators a concrete checklist to verify the full path works
after a fresh USB install:

- First-boot verification: what install log lines to look for
- Post-reboot verification: systemctl + ls + auth-status commands
- Second-reboot verification: confirm no re-entry needed
- Troubleshooting table: 4 common symptoms with likely causes

Closes the gap between 'cascade is shipped' and 'operator can
confirm cascade works on their hardware'. The operator no longer
has to figure out which systemd unit to query or which paths to
check — the checklist names them.

Composes with:
- PROVISIONING.md (existing operator-facing install doc)
- B-0852 cred-persistence substrate
- The audit-extension PR (separate; catches drift at CI time)

Substrate-honest scope: this is operator docs, not a TS tool. A
follow-on TS smoke-test runner (run on the installed system to
auto-verify the checklist) is a candidate for follow-up work but
out of scope for this commit.

…re the just-written blob at install time (operator catches bad blob BEFORE reboot, not at first boot) (#5655)

Adds opt-in --verify flag to zeta-creds-picker.ts. When set, after
zeta-creds-persist succeeds, the picker spawns zeta-creds-restore.ts
with --dry-run + the same passphrase source + a tmpdir as
--target-root. If restore-dry-run exits 0, the blob is confirmed
cryptographically valid + manifest-parseable. If non-zero, the
operator sees an actionable error at install time + can re-run the
picker to retry.

Operator-experience improvement: without --verify, a corrupt blob
(wrong passphrase captured, disk write error, persist bug) only
surfaces at first reboot when zeta-creds-restore.service fails its
ConditionPathExists or scrypt-decrypt step. At that point the
operator must reboot back into the live USB + re-run the install.
With --verify, the same failure surfaces SECONDS after persist,
inside the running install flow, with the live USB still mounted.

New exit code 5 for verify-failed (distinct from persist-failed=4).

API addition:
- PickerArgs gains `verify: boolean` (default false; opt-in)
- New export buildVerifyArgs(parsed, tmpTargetRoot) — pure
  composer of the restore-CLI argv list; testable in isolation

Tests added (3 new + 2 parseArgs-extension):
- --verify flag default false
- --verify flag parsed when passed
- buildVerifyArgs composes restore-CLI args with --dry-run + tmpdir
- buildVerifyArgs propagates --passphrase-file when picker used file
- buildVerifyArgs propagates --persona when set

21 pass / 0 fail (was 16; +5).

Substrate-honest scope: opt-in only. Future PR can flip default-on
after operator empirical testing confirms verify doesn't introduce
new failure modes (e.g., tmpdir permission, restore-CLI changes).
zeta-install.sh Step 6.95-picker currently does NOT pass --verify;
that flip can land in a follow-up after operator tests.

Composes with:
- B-0852 cred-persistence cascade (#5635 + #5637 + #5639 + #5640 +
  #5642 + #5644 + #5645 + #5646 + #5648 + #5649 + #5650)
- tools/installer/zeta-creds-restore.ts (existing --dry-run mode)
