- CUPS (Addons -> CUPS Printing, from ./install.sh or the Web UI) now
installs from the offline bundle by itself when the kiosk can't reach
the Ubuntu archive: lib/config.sh's run_with_offline_fallback switches
apt to the bundle (kiosk-offline-apt on) around the install and back
afterwards. No-op on manual installs or when online.
- Fix cups_is_installed reporting "not installed" for an installed CUPS:
`dpkg -l | grep -q` under install.sh's pipefail fails when grep exits
early and dpkg takes SIGPIPE. Uses dpkg-query on the one package now.
- Sites: an absolute path (/home/kiosk/docs/menu.pdf) is accepted and
turned into a percent-encoded file:// URL, identically in the Sites
menu (sites_parse_url) and the Web UI (parseUrl, with tests). Electron
42 shows local HTML, PDFs (built-in viewer) and images as-is.
- iso/build-iso.sh checks its build tools (plus the --offline ones) and
offers to `sudo apt install` what's missing; --install-deps does it
without asking. --offline now refuses non-amd64 hosts up front.
Tested: offline chroot of the 26.04.1 server filesystem - action_install_cups
installed CUPS + printer-driver-all/hplip/gutenprint from the bundle with
no network and left apt back on normal sources; webui test suite passes;
Electron 42 rendered a file:// PDF and PNG with spaces/# in the path;
build-iso.sh stopped with the install command when apt-utils was missing
and no TTY, and installed it and built the ISO with --install-deps.

`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.

iso/build-iso.sh remasters the official 26.04.x live-server ISO (downloaded
and checksum-verified, or --iso PATH) with xorriso, replaying its BIOS/UEFI
boot records unchanged. It adds:
- /autoinstall.yaml: Subiquity autoinstall that answers locale/keyboard/SSH
and by default leaves only network, storage and identity interactive
(--username/--auto-storage/--auto-network/--no-confirm/--fully-automatic
make those automatic too). late-commands copy the repo (a clone of the
current HEAD) to /opt/ubuntu-based-kiosk and enable a first-boot service.
- iso/firstboot/kiosk-firstboot(.service): on first boot, takes tty1, waits
for cloud-init and internet, copies the repo to the admin user's home and
runs ./install.sh as that user with temporary passwordless sudo (removed
on every exit path). Failed/interrupted installs re-run next boot.
install.sh hooks for this:
- KIOSK_UNATTENDED=1 makes ask_yes_no take each prompt's default and skips
the Core Settings menu (--unattended).
- KIOSK_PROVISION_DONE_MARKER is touched by provision_finish before the
reboot prompt, so the caller can tell a finished install from an
interrupted one.
