Fix first-boot service never starting on Ubuntu 26.04

 - **Offline installs** (`--offline`): the ISO carries every package (including CUPS printing and all printer drivers), Node.js 22, and prebuilt Electron/Web UI modules, so a kiosk installs with no internet. With internet it still installs current versions online. Addons → CUPS Printing (menu or Web UI) installs from the bundle by itself when offline.
 - **Local files as sites:** an absolute path (`/home/kiosk/docs/menu.pdf`) shows a local page, PDF or image; a folder (`/home/kiosk/photos/`) plays as a full-screen **image slideshow** that picks up added/removed images within a minute. Works in both the Sites menu and the Web UI.
 - **Fix: the first-boot kiosk setup never started on 26.04.** Its service was ordered after cloud-init's final stage, which itself runs after `multi-user.target` - an ordering cycle that systemd broke by dropping the kiosk setup. It also "conflicted" with the tty1 login prompt, which systemd can resolve the same way. Both removed; checked with `systemd-analyze verify` against 26.04's own units. Rebuild the ISO to pick this up.
+- **WiFi tools in the base install:** `wpasupplicant` and `iw` are now installed (and bundled offline). A default Ubuntu Server install only has them if WiFi was set up in the installer; without them, Core Settings → WiFi couldn't connect an offline kiosk. The WiFi menu also installs them itself if missing.
 - **Offline addons:** the `--offline` bundle now also carries LMS (Lyrion) + Squeezelite, Asterisk Intercom, VNC, WireGuard and the Emergency Hotspot; their normal installs use it automatically when there's no internet.
 - **Emergency Hotspot fix:** by default it now starts only when the local network is unreachable (router *and* internet), not merely when there's no internet - on a LAN without internet it used to start on every boot. Existing setups keep the old check until Advanced → Emergency Hotspot → Reconfigure.
 - **New: Core Settings → Time Server (NTP)** - use a time server on your network, go back to Ubuntu's, or set the clock by hand; for networks without internet.
