archiso keeps vmlinuz/initramfs in the ISO boot dir, not the squashfs, so
unpackfs lays down an empty /boot. The chroot's mkinitcpio/grub-mkconfig had
nothing to work with and the ESP ended up empty (firmware found no bootloader).
- shellprocess@kernel (dontChroot) copies the live kernel into the target
/boot before the bootloader step
- post-install.sh now runs grub-install itself, including a --removable pass
so firmware with no NVRAM entry still boots via EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

The live medium autologged root on tty1 and exec'd Hyprland, but Hyprland
refuses to start with superuser privileges ("launched with superuser
privileges, but the privileges check is not omitted") and exited before
even creating a log — leaving tty1 at a blank blinking cursor. (Boot,
switch-root, firstboot suppression and the bos login on other ttys were
all already working.)
Adopt the standard live-ISO pattern:
- bos-live-setup.service (oneshot, gated on the archisobasedir cmdline so
it only runs on the live medium) creates an unprivileged `liveuser`,
adds it to the usual hardware groups, clears its password, and drops in
a minimal live Hyprland config that auto-launches the installer.
- tty1 autologin now targets liveuser instead of root.
- Calamares needs root, so bos-launch-calamares runs it via passwordless
sudo (/etc/sudoers.d/99-bos-live) with the Wayland env preserved, so the
root installer renders on the live user's compositor.

mkarchiso validation: bios.syslinux.mbr/eltorito and uefi-x64.* bootmodes
are deprecated -> use bios.syslinux + uefi.systemd-boot. syslinux must be
in the package list for the BIOS bootmode; add memtest86+/edk2-shell too.
