Current Hyprland no longer accepts dwindle:pseudotile (it's a dispatcher now),
which threw a non-fatal config-error banner on both the live and installed
desktop. preserve_split is still valid and kept.

- packages.x86_64: add bread, breadbar, breadbox, breadcrumbs, breadpad,
bos-settings so they ship in the squashfs and reach the target via unpackfs
(no network needed; install works fully offline)
- shellprocess.conf: set timeout 1800 — Calamares' 10s default was killing
post-install.sh partway (the real cause of the empty /boot + ESP); the "-"
prefix had been masking the kill as success
- bos-live-setup: live user now boots the real BOS desktop from /etc/skel
(breadd + breadbar + breadbox) with the installer layered on top
(auto-launch + Super+I), instead of an installer-only kiosk
- post-install.sh: drop the now-redundant networked `bakery install`

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

unpackfs runs unsquashfs then rsync to copy the rootfs onto the target;
rsync was missing (error code 127), so add it alongside squashfs-tools.
unpackfs also copies the live filesystem verbatim, so the installed
system would inherit the archiso initramfs hooks (booting into the live
path) plus the live autologin/user/sudoers. Rework post-install.sh to run
in the target chroot as a resilient best-effort script that:
- removes the live autologin drop-in, bos-live-setup service/scripts and
the liveuser sudoers file, and locks root (sudo model; the live medium
left root passwordless),
- drops the archiso mkinitcpio config, installs the stock linux.preset and
regenerates the initramfs, then refreshes grub.cfg,
- keeps the snapper/services/dotfiles setup, with the network-dependent
bakery install made non-fatal so offline installs still complete.

liveuser can't write /var/log, so the .bash_profile redirect
(Hyprland &>/var/log/hyprland-live.log) failed and bash aborted the line
without ever launching the compositor. Log to /tmp/hyprland-live.log,
which the live user can write.

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.

Redirect the live autologin compositor's stdout/stderr to
/var/log/hyprland-live.log, and on exit drop to an interactive shell
showing the return code instead of letting the getty autologin
respawn-loop hide any startup failure behind a blank blinking cursor.
Makes a failed live boot diagnosable and leaves the medium usable.

On GPU-less targets (VMs, headless, exotic hardware) wlroots refuses to
initialise without a hardware renderer, so the autologin session exec'd
Hyprland on tty1 and it died immediately — leaving a blinking cursor and
no desktop, while tty2 still showed the (correct) `bos` login.
Export WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE=1 before exec Hyprland in root's
.bash_profile so wlroots may use the llvmpipe software renderer when no
GPU renderer exists. On real hardware the hardware renderer is still
chosen; this is purely a fallback. Also set WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 so
the pointer isn't invisible in VMs. Both must be real env vars (read at
wlroots init), not Hyprland `env=` lines, which apply too late.

The fixed initramfs boots into userspace, but systemd-firstboot
(ConditionFirstBoot=yes, --prompt-locale --prompt-keymap-auto
--prompt-timezone --prompt-root-password) then blocked the console
waiting for interactive input, and root was locked (no /etc/shadow),
so the live medium never reached the autologin getty + Hyprland.
Ship the same base files releng uses to satisfy firstboot and unlock
root for autologin:
- etc/locale.conf (LANG=C.UTF-8) -> no locale prompt
- etc/localtime (-> UTC) -> no timezone prompt
- etc/vconsole.conf (KEYMAP=us) -> no keymap prompt
- etc/hostname (bos)
- etc/shadow (root unlocked, empty pw, perms 0400 via profiledef)
- etc/passwd (root shell = bash; system users are appended by the
systemd-sysusers pacman hook during pacstrap)
The overlay is applied before pacstrap (mkarchiso _make_custom_airootfs
precedes _make_packages) and these are pacman backup files, so the
static passwd/shadow act as the base and package scriptlets add the
rest — no clobbering of polkitd/pipewire/etc. users.

The profile shipped boot configs and the package list but lacked the
mkinitcpio archiso configuration, so mkarchiso built a stock initramfs
with no archiso hook. At boot the kernel honoured archisosearchuuid/
archisobasedir but nothing knew how to find and mount airootfs.sfs, so
switch-root failed and the live medium dropped to emergency mode.
Add the canonical releng pieces:
- airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/archiso.conf (HOOKS incl. archiso)
- airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset (builds initramfs-linux.img)
- mkinitcpio{,-archiso,-nfs-utils} in packages.x86_64

- logo.png (productLogo/productIcon): rasterised from the bread logo, transparent
- languages.png (productWelcome): logo centred on a light Nord canvas
- logo.svg / bread_white.svg: source vector
Resolves the missing-branding-asset blocker so Calamares can render.
Colour scheme can be refined when final SVGs land.
