VM boot test proved the ISO boots under UEFI+SecureBoot+TPM2 but stopped at the
"press any key" prompt and (post-boot) the disk screen. Enable hands-off install:
- build.ps1: use efisys_noprompt.bin (fall back to efisys.bin) so the ISO boots
  without a keypress.
- autounattend.xml: add GPT/UEFI DiskConfiguration (wipe disk 0 -> EFI/MSR/Win),
  ImageInstall index 1, AcceptEula (eval = no key). Bootstrap local-admin pw is a
  PLACEHOLDER the SKU pipeline must replace.

   SilverMetal Enhanced - Windows : Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC answer file.
 
-  Purpose: automate OOBE, force a LOCAL account (no Microsoft Account / no cloud
-  key escrow), set regional defaults, prepare a BitLocker-ready disk layout, and
-  hand off to $OEM$\SetupComplete.cmd for first-boot hardening.
+  Automates OOBE, wipes disk 0 to a clean GPT/UEFI layout, installs the LTSC
+  image (index 1), forces a LOCAL account (no Microsoft Account / no cloud key
+  escrow), and hands off to C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd (run
+  automatically as SYSTEM at end of setup) for the §A-H hardening.
 
-  SCAFFOLD (M0). Disk layout + image selectors are filled at M2 against the
-  licensed media. Do NOT embed product keys, PINs, or secrets here.
+  SECURITY NOTE: the bootstrap local-admin password below is a PLACEHOLDER for
+  unattended setup only. The shippable SKU pipeline MUST inject a per-device
+  credential (or force change at first logon); never ship this value.
 
   Design: ../../iso-builder.md   Controls: ../../hardening-spec.md (domains A, C)
