Implement atomic OS updates via A/B partition scheme with automatic
rollback. GRUB bootloader manages slot selection with a 3-attempt
boot counter that auto-rolls back on repeated health check failures.
GRUB boot config:
- A/B slot selection with boot_counter/boot_success env vars
- Automatic rollback when counter reaches 0 (3 failed boots)
- Debug, emergency shell, and manual slot-switch menu entries
Disk image (refactored):
- 4-partition GPT layout: EFI + System A + System B + Data
- GRUB EFI/BIOS installation with graceful fallbacks
- Both system partitions populated during image creation
Update agent (Go, zero external deps):
- pkg/grubenv: read/write GRUB env vars (grub-editenv + manual fallback)
- pkg/partition: find/mount/write system partitions by label
- pkg/image: HTTP download with SHA256 verification
- pkg/health: post-boot checks (containerd, API server, node Ready)
- 6 CLI commands: check, apply, activate, rollback, healthcheck, status
- 37 unit tests across all 4 packages
Deployment:
- K8s CronJob for automatic update checks (every 6 hours)
- ConfigMap for update server URL
- Health check Job for post-boot verification
Build pipeline:
- build-update-agent.sh compiles static Linux binary (~5.9 MB)
- inject-kubesolo.sh includes update agent in initramfs
- Makefile: build-update-agent, test-update-agent, test-update targets

Implement a lightweight cloud-init system for first-boot configuration:
- Go parser for YAML config (hostname, network, KubeSolo settings)
- Static/DHCP network modes with DNS override
- KubeSolo extra flags and API server SAN configuration
- Portainer Edge Agent and air-gapped deployment support
- New init stage 45-cloud-init.sh runs before network/hostname stages
- Stages 50/60 skip gracefully when cloud-init has already applied
- Build script compiles static Linux/amd64 binary (~2.7 MB)
- 17 unit tests covering parsing, validation, and example files
- Full documentation at docs/cloud-init.md
