veilor-org 3c247bc601 v0.7 spike: BlueBuild recipe + ostreecontainer kickstart + cosign workflow
Initial scaffold for the v0.7 hybrid path. Spike branch only — does
NOT land in main until success criteria pass (see bluebuild/README.md).

## What this commits

- bluebuild/recipe.yml — BlueBuild recipe extending
  ghcr.io/secureblue/securecore-kinoite-hardened-userns:latest with:
  * veilor branding overlay (overlay/, assets/, scripts/ at /usr/share/veilor-os)
  * sudo restored (revert secureblue's run0-only)
  * Xwayland restored (some apps still need it)
  * mullvad-browser layered alongside Trivalent (default browser kept)
  * tailscale + yggdrasil packages (mesh stack layers 1 + 2)
  * tailscaled.service pre-disabled (awaits first-boot prompt)
  * yggdrasil.service enabled (idle warm-fallback per STRATEGY.md)
  * veilor-firstboot.service + veilor-modules-lock.service enabled
  * cosign signing module configured

- bluebuild/config/just/60-veilor.just — ujust recipes:
  * install-reticulum (RetiNet AGPL fork — mesh layer 3)
  * install-reticulum-rnode (LoRa hardware)
  * install-thorium (opt-in browser with explicit CVE-lag warning)
  * veilor-mesh-join (token paste / QR for tailscale onboarding)

- bluebuild/README.md — spike doc + smoke-test commands + 5-item
  success criteria checklist

- kickstart/install-ostreecontainer.ks — install kickstart template
  for the v0.7 path. No %packages block; uses
  `ostreecontainer --url=ghcr.io/veilor-org/veilor-os:43 --transport=registry`
  to populate / from the OCI image directly during anaconda's install
  pass. No first-boot rebase, no transition window. Keeps existing
  LUKS+btrfs partitioning verbatim.

- .github/workflows/build-bluebuild.yml — GH Actions workflow:
  * Triggered on push to v0.7-bluebuild-spike, weekly cron, dispatch
  * Uses blue-build/github-action@v1 (TODO: pin to commit SHA per
    CI hardening agent 8 follow-up)
  * Builds + cosign-signs (keyless via Sigstore) + pushes to GHCR
  * Smoke-tests the OCI image (sudo, mullvad-browser, yggdrasil,
    tailscale all present)
  * Generates SBOM (SPDX) via anchore/sbom-action
  * Publishes SLSA build provenance attestation

## What this does NOT change

- main branch is untouched. v0.5.x kickstart path keeps shipping.
- kickstart/veilor-os.ks (the live-ISO ks) is untouched — the v0.7
  hybrid uses the existing live-ISO build path; only the install-time
  ks (install-ostreecontainer.ks) is new.
- overlay/, scripts/, assets/ are untouched on this branch — the
  recipe pulls them in via `type: files` modules at build time.

## Spike success criteria (reproduced from bluebuild/README.md)

- [ ] `bluebuild build recipe.yml` exits 0
- [ ] `bootc container lint` exits 0 on resulting image
- [ ] `podman run` smoke-test passes
- [ ] CI workflow builds + cosign-signs + pushes to GHCR
- [ ] Installer ISO using `ostreecontainer` against this OCI reaches
      SDDM with admin login on first boot

If all 5 land, merge v0.7-bluebuild-spike → main as v0.7.0.

# bluebuild/ — v0.7 spike
This directory contains the BlueBuild recipe + supporting config that
builds the veilor-os bootable OCI image. **Active on the
`v0.7-bluebuild-spike` branch only.** Does NOT land in v0.5.x main
until the spike passes its success criteria (see
`docs/STRATEGY.md`).
## What's here
```
bluebuild/
├── recipe.yml # primary BlueBuild recipe
├── config/
│ └── just/
│ └── 60-veilor.just # ujust recipes for opt-in components
└── README.md # this file
```
The recipe extends
`ghcr.io/secureblue/securecore-kinoite-hardened-userns:latest`. We
inherit secureblue's hardening (sysctl + kargs + custom SELinux
policy + USBGuard + hardened-malloc + Unbound DoT + chronyd NTS +
Trivalent browser + cosign-signed image chain). On top, we layer:
- veilor branding (overlay/, theme, plymouth, sddm, os-release)
- mullvad-browser (anti-fingerprint companion to Trivalent)
- xorg-x11-server-Xwayland (re-enable; secureblue disables it)
- sudo (re-enable; secureblue replaces with run0)
- tailscale + yggdrasil (mesh stack layer 1 + 2)
- ujust recipes for Reticulum (mesh layer 3) + Thorium (opt-in browser)
Trivalent stays as the default browser (correcting an earlier draft).
## Build locally
```bash
# Requires bluebuild CLI:
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blue-build/cli/main/install.sh | sh
cd bluebuild
bluebuild build recipe.yml
```
Output: `localhost/veilor-os:43` in podman storage. Push to GHCR
via the workflow.
## Test the OCI image
```bash
# Smoke-test (boots into the rootfs; no kernel, no init):
podman run --rm -it ghcr.io/veilor-org/veilor-os:43 /bin/bash
# Inside, sanity:
cat /etc/os-release # PRETTY_NAME=veilor-os
which sudo # /usr/bin/sudo (re-enabled)
which trivalent # secureblue's COPR (default browser)
which mullvad-browser # /usr/bin/mullvad-browser
systemctl is-enabled yggdrasil # enabled (idle)
systemctl is-enabled tailscaled # disabled (awaits ujust veilor-mesh-join)
```
## Test the installer ISO
The installer ISO is built separately by livecd-creator (current path)
or bootc-image-builder (v1.0+). Its kickstart's `%packages` block is
replaced with:
```
ostreecontainer --url=ghcr.io/veilor-org/veilor-os:43 --transport=registry
```
That populates the target's `/` directly from this OCI image during
the install pass. No first-boot rebase. No transition window.
## Spike success criteria (1 day)
- [ ] `bluebuild build recipe.yml` exits 0
- [ ] `bootc container lint` exits 0 on the resulting image
- [ ] `podman run` smoke-test (commands above) all pass
- [ ] `.github/workflows/build-bluebuild.yml` builds + cosign-signs +
pushes to `ghcr.io/veilor-org/veilor-os:43`
- [ ] An installer ISO using `ostreecontainer` against this OCI
reaches SDDM with admin login on first boot
If all five land, merge `v0.7-bluebuild-spike``main` as v0.7.0.
If any fail in ways that aren't trivially fixable, file each as a GH
issue + return to v0.5.x kickstart path.
