- error state gets a 'Try again' button (settings are kept) plus links back
to the disk / settings pages; the page reloads into it instead of only
recolouring the bar
- names are lowercased instead of rejected; system account names (root,
caddy, docker, …) are refused with a clear message
- plain wording: 'Server name' with a live http://<name>.local preview,
'Pick a disk' with an explicit erase warning, a readable confirm table
(language label, disk size/type) and a Back button
- the password hint says it is also the SSH / console password; the
language hint says the wizard itself is English
- wizard pages redirect to the progress page while an install is running
- progress page: aria-live phase, aria-valuenow updates, 'lost connection'
note, 'fine to close this page'
- .local fallback on the reboot page: router device list, IP may change
- live console banner says a network cable with internet is required
- target gets a systemd-networkd-wait-online --any drop-in: boards with a
second unplugged NIC (or Ethernet + Wi-Fi) waited up to 2 min at boot

- drives: classify by lsblk TRAN/ROTA (SATA SSDs were labelled HDD and lost
to bigger spinning disks); drop zram, eMMC boot/rpmb areas, read-only and
0-byte disks; grey out disks under 16 GB; rank USB disks last; warn about
>2 TB disks on BIOS (MBR); boot-stick fallback via archiso kernel args
when bootmnt is gone; timeouts on lsblk/smartctl/blkid
- step 2 only accepts a disk that was actually offered
- /install/run refuses a second concurrent install and disables the button
- archinstall's exit code is tracked: OOM kills / signals now show as errors
instead of a progress bar stuck forever
- disk-probe exceptions land in the install log instead of a bare 500

Replace the numeric "score N" pill with a Recommended badge on the
auto-selected drive plus size/type/health chips. The score itself
stays as the sort key, users just never see the raw number.
Why: Robert's 2026-04-14 wizard UX direction — less jargon, explain
Fachbegriffs, recommend defaults. A bare "score 35" gave users no
reason why one drive was picked.

Wires the live-ISO wizard from "shows three screens" to "actually invokes
archinstall on the chosen disk", plus first-pass styling so it stops looking
like raw <h1>/<form>.
Webinstaller flow:
- S1 form gains username/password/password2/language with server-side
validation (hostname/username regex, ≥8 char password, match check).
- /install/run writes user_configuration.json + user_credentials.json
(creds 0600) to FURTKA_STATE_DIR (default /tmp/furtka), then execs
`archinstall --config … --creds … --silent` as a backgrounded subprocess.
- /install/log renders the subprocess output via meta-refresh polling.
- FURTKA_DRY_RUN=1 short-circuits the exec for testing.
- archinstall flag names verified against `archinstall --help` in an
archlinux container before committing.
Drive list:
- drives.py now filters via `lsblk … -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE` keeping TYPE=disk,
so the live ISO's own squashfs (loop) and CD-ROM (rom) stop appearing
as install targets.
Boot menu:
- iso/build.sh sed-rebrands "Arch Linux install medium" →
"Furtka Live Installer" across grub/, syslinux/, and efiboot/loader/
entries. Verified zero leftovers against the current releng profile.
Styling:
- static/style.css adopts the website's design tokens (palette,
typography, gate-mark accent), with light + dark via prefers-color-scheme.
- New base.html with header (gate SVG + FURTKA·INSTALLER wordmark + step
indicator) and footer; all install templates extend it.
- Drive picker uses radio cards with score chip; overview uses a summary
table and a destructive "wipe drive" button.
Tests: 17 pass (4 new in test_app.py covering validation + config builders,
2 new in test_drives.py covering the lsblk filter). Ruff clean.
README roadmap updated to mark these done and explicitly defer the
26.0-alpha release until archinstall actually completes end-to-end on a VM.

- Untrack archinstall/user_credentials.json; ship .example file and
add a root .gitignore so real creds stay out of git
- Fix SyntaxError in webinstaller/app.py (malformed "language" entry)
- Drop import-time lshw call in hardware.py
- Consolidate driveval/ and webinstaller/hardware.py into a single
webinstaller/drives.py with a list_scored_devices() API; step 2
now renders a proper <select> with name/size/score
- Replace dependancies.txt typo with webinstaller/requirements.txt
(Flask only — psutil was imported but unused)
