Claude b479b68219 Fix first-boot service never starting on Ubuntu 26.04
Reported: installed from the ISO, files present, but the kiosk setup
never appeared on first boot.

Cause: kiosk-firstboot.service had After=cloud-final.service, and on 26.04
cloud-final.service is After=multi-user.target - while multi-user.target,
which wants kiosk-firstboot, is implicitly After= it. An ordering cycle;
systemd breaks it at boot by deleting a job, and kiosk-firstboot's was
the one to go. systemd-analyze verify against the 26.04.1 ISO's own units
reproduces it:

  Found ordering cycle: kiosk-firstboot.service/start after
  cloud-final.service/start after multi-user.target/start - after
  kiosk-firstboot.service

- Drop After=cloud-final.service. The script's `cloud-init status --wait`
  goes too: cloud-final waits for multi-user.target, which waits for this
  service - it would deadlock. DPkg::Lock::Timeout already covers what it
  was guarding against (dpkg lock contention).
- Drop Conflicts=getty@tty1.service: getty.target pulls getty@tty1 into
  the same boot transaction, and a conflict between two wanted jobs is
  also resolved by dropping one. Before=getty@tty1 alone keeps tty1's
  login prompt waiting until this oneshot finishes.

Verified: systemd-analyze verify of kiosk-firstboot + multi-user.target +
cloud-final + cloud-init.target + getty@tty1 + graphical.target in the
26.04.1 server filesystem - old unit reports the cycle, fixed unit is
clean.

################################################################################
# kiosk-firstboot - runs ubuntu-based-kiosk's ./install.sh on the first
# boot of a system installed from the custom ISO (iso/build-iso.sh).
#
# install.sh refuses to run as root and expects a regular sudo user, so
# this runs it as the admin account the Ubuntu installer created (the
# first regular user, uid 1000), from a copy of the repo in that user's
# home - the same layout as a manual `git clone && ./install.sh`, so
# re-running ./install.sh later and Advanced -> Upgrade both work as
# usual afterwards.
#
# For the duration of the install only, that user gets passwordless sudo
# (nobody has typed a password yet, and in unattended mode nobody will);
# the drop-in is removed on every exit path, including the reboot at the
# end of install.sh (see ExecStopPost in kiosk-firstboot.service).
#
# Settings come from /etc/kiosk-firstboot.conf, written at ISO build time:
# KIOSK_UNATTENDED=1 take every prompt's default, skip the Core
# Settings menu, reboot into the kiosk when done.
# KIOSK_UNATTENDED=0 (default) normal interactive install.sh on tty1.
# KIOSK_OFFLINE_WAIT=N on an ISO built with --offline: seconds to wait
# for internet before installing from the bundled
# packages instead (default 90).
