Until now ./install.sh only managed an already-installed kiosk;
ubuntu-based-kiosk.sh was still the only path from a bare Ubuntu Server
box to a running one. install.sh now provisions from scratch too:
packages, kiosk user, Node.js/Electron, LightDM+Openbox autologin,
audio/video/HDMI/power-button hardware setup, and the firewall, then
hands off to the already-migrated Core Settings/Advanced menus for
initial configuration instead of reimplementing that logic again.
- lib/provision.sh: the new provisioning flow, built mostly by calling
existing menus (core_settings_menu, emergency hotspot, virtual
consoles) - cuts it to ~300 lines against the legacy script's
~4,000-line first_time_install().
- lib/electron.sh: electron_install_binary() extracted out of
menus/advanced_electron.sh so provisioning and the existing "Fix
blank screen" action share one implementation.
- kiosk-app/ and provision/files/: the Electron app source and every
system template file, extracted byte-for-byte out of
ubuntu-based-kiosk.sh's heredocs into real files.
- Found and fixed a bash set -e gotcha along the way: testing a
multi-statement function as an if-condition (`if ! some_func; then`)
silently exempts everything inside that function from set -e for the
duration of the call. Fixed in the new provisioning code and in
menus/advanced_electron.sh's pre-existing repair action, which had
the same shape.

New in install.sh's Advanced menu, alongside Diagnostics:
- menus/advanced_electron.sh: "Electron Maintenance" - the legacy
"Manual Electron Update" and "Fix Blank Screen" combined into one
submenu, sharing the binary-repair logic (electron_install_binary).
- menus/advanced_factory_reset.sh: "Factory Reset" - wipes config.json
back to defaults only; addons are untouched.
- menus/advanced_virtual_consoles.sh: "Virtual Consoles" - toggles
Ctrl+Alt+F1-F8 terminal login access.
- menus/advanced_emergency_hotspot.sh: "Emergency Hotspot" - auto-starts
a WiFi hotspot if no internet is detected 60 seconds after boot. Its
own runtime script and systemd unit now go through $BIN_DIR/
$SYSTEMD_DIR like every other addon's own files, instead of the
legacy's hardcoded /usr/local/bin and /etc/systemd/system.
That covers 8 of the legacy Advanced menu's 12 entries. Not migrated
this round: Export/Import Settings (pending a decision on rebuilding it
around actual paths vs. a hardcoded step list, or whether the future
web UI replaces the need for it) and Fix Squeezelite Audio (small
enough it may fold into the LMS addon instead of staying standalone).
Full command-level stubbed test suite per file, including set -e safety
checks (declined/failed paths never crash the session) and content
verification for every written file. Full 18-suite regression + real
end-to-end menu navigation via install.sh all pass.
