VM test proved Win11 24H2 redesigned "ConX" Setup ignores the windowsPE pass of
autounattend.xml (manual language/keyboard/region prompts). Deep-research-verified
fix: patch sources\boot.wim index 2 to launch the legacy installer.
build.ps1 stage 2b: mount boot.wim idx2, load offline SYSTEM hive, set
HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\CmdLine=X:\sources\setup.exe, unload, commit. Also place
autounattend.xml in \sources as well as ISO root. Legacy engine consumes all
four passes -> fully hands-off. Documented in iso-builder.md §3a (incl. rejected
winpeshl.ini / RunSynchronous alternatives + ConX-may-change caveat).

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.

Stages 1-5 pass; oscdimg failed with Error 123 because PowerShell doubled the
embedded quotes in -bootdata. Work paths have no spaces, so omit the inner
quotes around etfsboot.com/efisys.bin entirely.

Base eval ISO staged at C:\silvermetal\base.iso on GITEA-RUN-WIN (SHA256
2CEE70BD...CB29 pinned in inputs.manifest.json). Repo var now points at that
local path, so the build reads locally - no NAS share auth / no CI creds.
Dropped -SkipInputVerify so the build verifies the pinned hash.

Implement build.ps1 (M2): mount/extract the base ISO, offline-service
install.wim (inject GPD drivers if staged, debloat appx, bake SetupComplete.cmd
+ hardening modules into \Windows\Setup\Scripts), inject autounattend.xml,
oscdimg UEFI repack, emit SHA-256 + SBOM. Elevation + oscdimg guarded.
Add .gitea/workflows/build-iso-windows.yaml: runs on the self-hosted
silverlabs-runner-win (windows-latest), ensures ADK Deployment Tools, acquires
the base ISO from repo var SILVERMETAL_BASE_ISO_URL or a pre-staged path, builds,
validates the baked payload offline, uploads SBOM/SHA (+ISO on dispatch/tag),
attaches to a Gitea release on win-v* tags. Mirrors build-iso-linux.yaml.
Add tests/Assert-IsoStructure.ps1: the no-nested-virt CI gate - mounts the built
ISO + install.wim read-only and asserts autounattend.xml, SetupComplete.cmd, and
the hardening modules are correctly baked. Full QEMU boot+Verify is a follow-on.
Switch autounattend to Windows' native SetupComplete.cmd auto-run (SYSTEM, end
of setup) instead of a duplicate FirstLogonCommands call.
Untested until first runner execution (dev box is ARM64). All PS parse-clean;
autounattend XML + workflow YAML valid.
