sysadmin 3a30a0421e docs(windows): add ISO-builder design + scaffold the windows/ tree
Add windows/iso-builder.md: reproducible custom-packed-ISO pipeline design for
SilverMetal Enhanced - Windows on IoT Enterprise LTSC. Covers the licensing
frame (IoT = blessed channel for preinstalled custom images; self-apply stays a
builder), 7 build stages (verify/extract/DISM-service/inject-unattend/brand/
oscdimg-repack/attest), the offline-vs-first-boot-vs-firmware control split, an
honest reproducibility scope (pinned inputs + SBOM + attestation, NOT bit-
identical on Windows), and M0-M4 milestones.

Scaffold windows/ per the planned layout:
- installer/  build.ps1 (7-stage orchestrator, stages stubbed to M2),
              inputs.manifest.json (pinned-input schema), autounattend.xml
              (local-account OOBE), oem/SetupComplete.cmd (first-boot runner)
- hardening/  shared §A-H PowerShell modules + Verify-SilverMetalWindows.ps1
              (used by BOTH the ISO first-boot path and the self-apply track).
              BitLocker module enforces TPM+PIN and blocks TPM-only.
- policies/ wdac/ debloat/ stack-installer/ drivers/ tests/  scaffolded with
  READMEs; wdac/ documents audit->enforce; debloat/ flags Tiny11/NTLite as an
  anti-pattern; rename applocker/ -> wdac/ realised.

All 11 PowerShell scripts parse clean; manifest JSON + autounattend XML valid.
Module bodies are M1 scaffold (safe: log + policy-set; interactive/firmware
steps documented, not faked).

# windows/debloat
Residue removal for the lean IoT Enterprise LTSC base.
- `appx-remove.txt` — provisioned-package removal list (short by design; LTSC is already minimal).
- Service-disable lists are applied by [`../hardening/00-provisioning.ps1`](../hardening/00-provisioning.ps1) and [`07-privacy-update.ps1`](../hardening/07-privacy-update.ps1) (telemetry/feedback services only — never update/security services).
**Anti-pattern (do not do):** Tiny11/NTLite-style component amputation. It breaks
servicing and genuineness, violating design-principles #2 and #13. LTSC gives the
lean base without the breakage.
