Fix IncusOS deploy: eliminate crontab bug and TPM corruption
Root cause #1: force_reboot triggers SysRq-B intermediate boot that
races with IncusOS state initialization, causing ~50% crontab bug rate.
Fix: omit force_reboot from seed — VM sits at "please remove media"
after install, blockstat detects idle cleanly, no intermediate boot.
Validated: 15/15 PASS (100%) on 4-core VMs.
Root cause #2: 90s boot timeout was too short for first-boot sysext
download under load. Premature retry hard-stops the VM during first
boot, corrupting the TPM encryption key permanently. Fix: increase
boot timeout to 180s (60s sleep + 120s polling).
Changes:
- incusos-proxmox: remove --force-reboot from seed generation, increase
boot timeout from 90s to 180s, update retry comments
- incusos-seed: add --ip/--gateway/--dns flags for static IP seeds,
add network.yaml generation
- observe-deploy: add --no-force-reboot flag, --runs N mode, VLAN
support, scrub_schedule health check, 1s screenshot interval
- lab configs: add static IPs for VLAN 69 (192.168.102.x/22)
- proxmox.yaml.example: add vlan, gateway, dns fields
- CLAUDE.md: document findings, boot timeout, TPM corruption risk
Tested: single VM, 3-node cluster, OC + 3 nodes — all 100% success.
