Offline bundle now carries every addon that works on a network without
internet: LMS (Lyrion's own .deb, from the addon's LMS_DEB_URL) +
Squeezelite, Asterisk Intercom (baresip), VNC, WireGuard and the
Emergency Hotspot packages - each list in a variable next to the code
that installs it (SQUEEZELITE_APT_PACKAGES, ASTERISK_INTERCOM_APT_PACKAGES,
VNC_APT_PACKAGES, WIREGUARD_APT_PACKAGES, EMERGENCY_HOTSPOT_APT_PACKAGES),
read by build-bundle.sh. Each install goes through
run_with_offline_fallback like CUPS, so they install offline from the
normal menus / Web UI. LMS installs as a bundle package when offline
(lms_offline_install_wanted); its online repo/direct-download paths are
unchanged. Tailscale/Netbird deliberately not bundled (vendor scripts,
vendor servers). Bundle: 524 MB (+87 MB).
Emergency hotspot: the boot check pinged only 8.8.8.8, so on a LAN with
no internet the hotspot started on every boot. Now chosen at setup:
"network" (default - router or internet must answer; a router that
ignores ping still counts if it answered ARP), "internet" (old check),
or "host" (a specific address). Three tries 10s apart. Existing scripts
keep the old check until Reconfigure.
New Core Settings -> Time Server (NTP) (menus/time_sync.sh): point
systemd-timesyncd at LAN time server(s) via a timesyncd.conf.d drop-in,
back to Ubuntu's defaults, or set the clock by hand (and the RTC) for a
network with no time server. Complete Uninstall resets it.
Also: lms_service_name used `systemctl list-unit-files | grep -q`, the
same pipefail/SIGPIPE pattern as the earlier cups_is_installed bug; now
`systemctl cat`.
Tested in a network-less chroot of the 26.04.1 server filesystem: kiosk
base, then action_wireguard_install and action_install_lms (real
functions) and the Squeezelite/Intercom/VNC/hotspot package sets all
installed from the bundle, apt left on normal sources after each.
Hotspot script generated for all three modes (plus an invalid address,
which falls back to "network") and its check run against simulated
networks: LAN-only with router answering ping or only ARP -> no hotspot
in "network" mode; nothing reachable -> hotspot. Time Server actions
driven with timedatectl stubbed: drop-in contents, input validation,
manual set-time sequence, reset removes the drop-in.

Slideshow: a site whose path is a local folder (/home/kiosk/photos/, or
any existing directory) plays its images full-screen instead of showing
Chromium's directory listing. kiosk-app/slideshow.js maps the folder URL
to slideshow.html (resolveSiteUrl - used where main.js loads a view and
where attachView re-checks the configured URL) and pushes the image list
into the page from the main process (the page has no fs access), re-read
every minute so added/removed images show up without a restart. Natural
file-name order, crossfade, letterboxed by default; optional
slideshow.json in the folder: interval, shuffle, fit, transition,
recursive. provision_install_app already copies kiosk-app/*.js/*.html,
so new installs and Advanced -> Upgrade pick it up.
Electron: ^42.0.0 -> ^44.0.0. Electron supports the latest three majors
(44/43/42), so 42 drops out when 45 ships. Checked the 43/44 breaking
changes against kiosk-app: nothing it uses changed (no clipboard,
safeStorage, net.request, utilityProcess; BrowserView is deprecated but
still present through 46). The offline bundle builder now retries
Electron's install.js download, which crashes outright if a large
download is cut off mid-stream.
Tested with the real main.js on Electron 44.5.1 under Xvfb + Openbox:
slideshow fills the screen, cycles in order (01, 02, 10) skipping a .txt
file, honours slideshow.json, and an image added mid-run joined the
rotation after the refresh. Offline bundle rebuilt with Electron 44.5.1.

`iso/build-iso.sh --offline` (and the workflow's new `offline` box, on by
default) adds ~420 MB to the ISO and copies it to /opt/kiosk-offline:
- apt/: local repository with every package install.sh's provisioning
and the CUPS addon install ask for, NodeSource's nodejs, and all
dependencies a fresh server install doesn't already have. Resolved
against the source ISO's own package manifest via a synthesized dpkg
status (iso/offline/fake-dpkg-status.py), so apt downloads only what's
missing and makes the same virtual/alternative choices as the target.
- npm/: prebuilt kiosk-app (Electron 42, binary included - it no longer
downloads at npm install time) and Web UI node_modules.
On first boot, kiosk-firstboot installs online as before when there's
internet; with none it waits KIOSK_OFFLINE_WAIT (90s), then runs
`kiosk-offline-apt on` (apt.conf.d drop-in: bundle is the ONLY source)
and turns it off again afterwards. install.sh notices offline mode via
offline_mode_active (lib/config.sh) and installs nodejs from the bundle
and unpacks prebuilt node_modules instead of npm install.
Package lists moved into PROVISION_APT_PACKAGES /
PROVISION_INTEL_APT_PACKAGES / CUPS_APT_PACKAGES so the bundler reads
the same lists install.sh installs from.
Tested: built against the 26.04.1 ISO, then in a network-less chroot of
the ISO's own server filesystem installed every package set, ran
provision_create_kiosk_user/install_nodejs/install_app and
webui_install_app_files in offline mode (Electron runs, no missing
libraries, chrome-sandbox setuid), and ran kiosk-firstboot through the
offline switch with a stub install.sh.
