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.

The post-reboot page told users to log in with the username and
password — but Furtka is browser-first; users aren't meant to touch
the TTY. Show the actual URL they should open instead, plus an mDNS
fallback hint.
Also pin the header SVG to width="24" height="24" so it can never
render at full viewport size, even if CSS somehow fails to load.
Belt-and-suspenders with the reboot-delay fix.

Two user-visible polish passes on top of the walking-skeleton install:
- Console welcome: live ISO's getty no longer shows the bare Arch prompt.
`/etc/hostname` is now `proksi` so avahi advertises `proksi.local`;
a systemd oneshot (`furtka-issue.service`, runs after
network-online.target) regenerates `/etc/issue` via
`/usr/local/bin/furtka-update-issue` to show both
`http://proksi.local:5000` (preferred, via mDNS — avahi and nss-mdns
are already in `packages.extra`) and the raw IP as a fallback for
networks where mDNS is flaky. `agetty --reload` nudges the already-
running login prompt to redraw.
- /install/log now polls a JSON endpoint (`/install/log.json`) every
3 s instead of meta-refresh, so expanding the collapsed log
`<details>` doesn't get eaten by the refresh. Noscript fallback
keeps the meta-refresh for JS-off users. When the install finishes,
the Done state shows a Reboot-now button that POSTs to
`/install/reboot` (guarded server-side to only reboot once status
is "done", so a panicked click mid-pacstrap can't brick the box).
A confirm() reminds the user to pull the USB / eject the ISO first.
End-to-end tested on a Proxmox VM 2026-04-14: boot → wizard →
archinstall → Done state → Reboot now → VM came back up → login as
created user → `docker ps` worked.

Two tangled changes to the install flow, batched because they're both
small and hit app.py:
1. Phase-based progress bar on /install/log. parse_install_progress()
scans the archinstall log for ordered phase markers ("Wiping
partitions", "Installing packages: ['base'", "Adding bootloader",
"Installation completed without any errors", …) and exposes
percent + user-facing phase label + status (running/done/error).
Template wraps the raw log in a collapsed <details> so the default
view stays calm; the meta-refresh stops once status is terminal.
If archinstall changes its stdout wording the bar stalls on the
last recognized phase — the install itself is unaffected.
2. Drop "docker" from the user's groups in creds and do the
`gpasswd -a <user> docker` via custom_commands instead.
archinstall creates users before pacstrapping the extras list, so
the docker group doesn't exist at user-create time —
caused the second real install to crash with
`gpasswd: group 'docker' does not exist`. custom_commands runs
at the very end, after docker is installed. Username is validated
by USERNAME_RE so no shell injection.

Walking-skeleton install on a real VM surfaced two archinstall 4.x
schema breakages that the wizard hit only at runtime:
- `use_entire_disk` was removed as a `config_type`. Now builds a full
`default_layout` disk_config by calling `suggest_single_disk_layout`
(forced ext4 + no separate /home, which bypasses its interactive
prompts) and serializing the returned DeviceModification.
- Credentials keys renamed to plaintext sentinels: `!root-password`
and `!password`. Users with neither `!password` nor `enc_password`
are silently dropped by `User.parse_arguments` — which is why the
first real install booted but wouldn't log in.
Also rolls in Robert's UX feedback quick-wins: `(Recommended)` prefix
on the default boot entry across GRUB/syslinux/systemd-boot, and
less-jargon hints on the step-1 hostname/username fields. iso/README
loses three stale bullets that described pre-15b876c behaviour.

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)
