feat(templates): add Ubuntu 24.04 Noble ECS01 target (LXC + VM) 0ce422aeca

Adds ubuntu-2404-ecs01 to both builders as a systemd clone of the Debian 13
path, plus test + wrapper + docs. CODE ONLY — no build, no TEMPLATE_VERSION
bump (operator bumps + builds in the same cycle).

LXC (build-devuan-template.sh):
- build_ubuntu2404_ecs01(): noble suite/mirror, components
  "main restricted universe multiverse" (universe is load-bearing for
  iotop-c/byobu/etc), ubuntu-keyring in the rootfs (debootstrap
  --include=ubuntu-keyring) + bootstrap authenticated with the ubuntu-archive
  keyring — avoids NO_PUBKEY at build AND deploy time. Reuses the entire
  systemd wiring (etckeeper finalise, ecs-firstboot.service,
  nullmailer-from.service, machine-id, console-getty override).
- preflight_devuan auto-installs ubuntu-keyring on the HOST when an Ubuntu
  target is queued (mirrors the devuan-keyring logic) + symlinks the noble
  debootstrap script to gutsy if absent.
- Wired into TEMPLATES/all/dispatch/force-purge/summary/help + version-history
  entry (Refs: #TBD, no version bump). TPL_UBUNTU_BASE +
  UBUNTU_{VER,SUITE,MIRROR,COMPONENTS,ROOTFS} globals.

VM (build-cloud-image.sh):
- ubuntu branch in build_rootfs (components + ubuntu-keyring pkg +
  --keyring), per-distro kernel metapackage swap (linux-image-generic), host
  keyring guard, and ubuntu target in main() dispatch. ubuntu takes the
  systemd branch everywhere debian does; ssh host-key strip already
  unconditional.

test-devuan-template.sh: detect /etc/os-release ID=ubuntu (systemd variant),
distro-aware banner + section-A label + DNS resolve host.

build-all-templates.sh: ubuntu-2404-ecs01 as an independent parallel pipeline
+ ubuntu-keyring prereq pre-seed.

CLAUDE.md: document the fourth template.

Open decisions: UBUNTU_MIRROR default is a GUESSED envisagecloud host — must
be confirmed before a production build; noble-updates/-security are wired to
the same mirror host (Ubuntu layout) — confirm ECS mirror carries all three
suites.

feat(ubuntu): mirror=archive.ubuntu.com + bump LXC 1.7.0 / qemu 0.3.0 (Refs #46 ) 1ca4bb4f1a

fix(ubuntu-lxc): add gpgv,gnupg to noble debootstrap --include (minbase omits gpgv → apt verify fails). Refs #46 56546afaa0

feat(cloud-image): add distro backports + OpenZFS DKMS (devuan/debian) d80703de2e

Add <suite>-backports apt source (excalibur-backports / trixie-backports)
to the shipped qcow2 images, pin-limited to Pin-Priority 100 so backports
is strictly opt-in via `-t <suite>-backports` and never auto-upgrades the
system. Build OpenZFS at build time in the customise hook: install
dkms/build-essential + zfs-dkms/zfsutils-linux from backports, force a
`dkms autoinstall` against the installed kernel (KVER derived from
ls /lib/modules, headers-build-dir asserted), and LOUD-fail if modinfo /
zfs.ko is absent afterwards. Wire zfs init at boot (systemd units on
Debian, OpenRC scripts on Devuan), each guarded. Toolchain kept in the
image for future DKMS rebuilds. Ubuntu path untouched; TEMPLATE_VERSION
stays 0.3.0. Refs stage-1 report §Deferred.

release: retarget to revision bumps — LXC 1.6.1 / qemu 0.2.1 (was 1.7.0/0.3.0). Refs #46 5291167e58

Merge branch 'worktree-agent-ac6d7fb1e15085012' into feat/ubuntu-2404 500ca268ea

chore: version-history heading 1.6.1 for the Ubuntu revision. Refs #46 a2fda097dd

feat: LXC backports+contrib repos (no zfs in LXC — shared kernel); explicit GRUB serial params on VM. Refs #46 a845d7f49b

fix(ubuntu-lxc): bootstrap gpgv via insecure first update (minbase omits gpgv; apt-key dies on chroot /dev/null). Refs #46 d86d4eb30a

fix(ubuntu-lxc): signed-by sources + drop trusted.gpg.d → gpgv path, no apt-key (/dev/null fails in unpriv-LXC chroot). Refs #46 3b1f29c513

fix(ubuntu-lxc): APT::Sandbox::User root at build (the real fix — _apt sandbox can't open /dev/null in nested-unpriv-LXC; gpgv was never missing). Refs #46 5b18246589
