Targeted edits reflecting findings from docs/competitors.md:
- New "Recent signals" subsection under Landscape: Umbrel license
complaints, Umbrel's 4+ year HTTPS refusal (#546), CasaOS
maintenance mode
- "Where we differentiate" bullet 4 replaced: "Arch base (rolling
release)" -> "HTTPS + AGPL from day one" — the actual counter-
positioning shots vs Umbrel per the analysis
- "Gap we're targeting" tightened to include HTTPS-by-default
- Key Decisions table: added rows for locked tech picks (Caddy,
Authentik, NS delegation, local CA) with link to wizard-flow.md
- Roadmap: marked competitor analysis + wizard flow spec complete,
reordered so bootable image is clearly the next blocker, added
Caddy/Authentik bootstrap and managed gateway infra items

8-screen first-boot installer spec extending Robert's 4-screen
wireframe with the YunoHost-style post-install pattern (domain,
SSL, diagnostic, confirm). Covers:
- Entry point via https://proksi.local with local CA cert install
- Screens S1-S8, each mapped to archinstall config fields or side
effects (SSL cert issuance, DNS delegation, diagnostic gates)
- Data model mapping wizard fields to user_configuration.json +
user_credentials.json
- Locked tech picks with rejected alternatives: Caddy (reverse
proxy), Authentik (SSO), NS delegation (managed gateway DNS),
local CA (HTTPS on proksi.local)
- Open questions for Robert: Backend on/off meaning, local CA vs
Tailscale ACME, UI framework choice, language list, S2 auto-setup
branch behavior

Online research (no hands-on testing yet) covering install flow,
hardware detection, app store UX, reverse proxy/SSL, and common
user complaints for the top 3 competitors.
Key findings: device-aware install wizard and managed gateway/DNS
are both uncontested. Umbrel's PolyForm license and 4+ year refusal
of HTTPS on local UI are direct counter-positioning opportunities.
CasaOS is in maintenance mode (IceWhale moved to ZimaOS).

- 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)

Daniel: test CasaOS/Umbrel/YunoHost on Proxmox.
Robert: get minimal bootable Arch image with Docker + installer webapp.
Robert's resource: awesome-docker-compose.com for later app store defaults.

CasaOS, Umbrel, Runtipi, HomeDock OS, Cosmos Server, YunoHost,
TurnKey Linux — plus analysis of where Homebase differentiates
(installer wizard, auto setup, gateway-as-a-service, Arch base).

4-screen wizard flow: welcome/account setup, drive selection with
auto-setup, per-device purpose assignment, network/VPN config.

Reflects actual project state from Robert/Daniel discussions — Arch already
running on Proxmox, webapp prototype working, and long-term Proxmox-style
business model.
