Cobbler's per-MAC gPXE script passed inst.ks.sendmac, making anaconda send
its interface MACs as X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-N headers when fetching the
kickstart. bootapi's iPXE script omitted it, so the boot script was not a
full drop-in for Cobbler's gpxe output.
- Emit inst.ks.sendmac immediately before inst.ks= in the boot iPXE template,
matching Cobbler ordering.
- Assert the arg is present in the rendered catalog iPXE test.

Hard switch of the docker push target from the Gitea registry to the
artifactapi local docker registry (docker-internal); the Gitea VM and its
registry are being retired. Drops the droneci/DRONECI_PASSWORD creds since
artifactapi accepts unauthenticated in-cluster pushes.

Implements the six review comments on PR #1:
- Per-host PXE-enable gate: read NetBox pxe_enabled custom field; a known host
with it false gets the safe local-boot script (Cobbler netboot_enabled). Add a
token-guarded POST /provisioned/{ident} callback that clears pxe_enabled in
NetBox, plus a %post snippet in the default kickstarts that calls it.
- Templates from a git repo: bootapi clones a templates repo and re-pulls every
BOOTAPI_TEMPLATE_GIT_INTERVAL (default 3m), atomically swapping the template
set (last-good kept on parse failure; embedded defaults are the startup
fallback). Metrics for syncs/failures/generation.
- Distro catalog (catalog/*.yaml): NetBox host -> boot images/kickstart, so
adding an OS is a YAML + template change. Ships almalinux + fedora entries
(artifactapi remotes); debian/talos path documented.
- Boot images from the artifactapi almalinux/fedora remotes via the catalog.
- Bind resolvers, puppet server/CA and PUPPETCA_URL env file now target the k8s
services (198.18.200.7; puppet(ca).k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net).
- Boot path served over plain HTTP (installers lack CA trust) with an optional
parallel HTTPS listener; docs say do not 301 the boot endpoints.
New packages: internal/catalog, internal/gitsync. NetBox client gains a
pxe_enabled write (token needs that scope - noted in docs). `bootapi validate`
subcommand validates a template/catalog set for the templates-repo CI.
go build/vet clean, go test -race green, golangci-lint v2 clean, pre-commit clean.

bootapi replaces Cobbler's PXE/kickstart side. It resolves a PXE-booting host
from NetBox (by MAC or hostname), renders an iPXE boot script and a kickstart
from Go text/templates, and serves them over HTTP. The ENC half already moved to
encapi; this covers the provisioning/boot half.
What's here:
- cmd/bootapi + internal/{config,model,netbox,render,server}; embedded default
templates under templates/ (AlmaLinux 9 + Fedora kickstarts, iPXE boot +
unknown-MAC fallbacks) ported from Cobbler's boot/bootstrap contract.
- NetBox client (v4.x API) behind a Resolver interface with a short-TTL cache;
tested against httptest fixtures using real NetBox JSON shapes.
- chi HTTP server: /ipxe/{mac}, /boot/ipxe?mac=, /ks/{ident}, healthz/readyz,
Prometheus /metrics. Unknown MAC -> safe fallback iPXE (200), unknown KS -> 404.
- Secrets (root pw hash, ssh keys) injected at render time from env/Vault, never
NetBox. Config is env-based per estate convention.
- Makefile (build/test/lint/docker + patch/minor/major), Dockerfile (distroless),
.woodpecker (pre-commit, golangci-lint v2 + go test -race, docker build on PR;
image push + Gitea binary release on v* tag), docs/ and example config.
go build/vet clean, go test -race green, golangci-lint v2 clean, pre-commit clean.
