b998f50f48 fix(ci1): switch ISO delivery to containerDisk OCI image (Path C)
OCI image: localhost/win-server-2025:1.0 (8.27 GB)
Built FROM scratch + ADD disk.img → /disk/disk.img on noc1, podman
saved as tar (8.27 GB), SCP'd in parallel to all 3 RKE2 nodes,
imported via ctr in k8s.io namespace. Verified present on all 3
schedulable nodes (rke2-server, rke2-agent1, rke2-agent2).

Why containerDisk over the prior PVC paths:
  - Path A (Longhorn Filesystem PVC, sata): OVMF BdsDxe SATA-CDROM
    read timeout. Cdrom-backed PVC is too slow for OVMF's first-sector
    read window.
  - Path B (Synology NFS): uid 107 (qemu) denied at directory level by
    Synology export ACL despite file mode 0777. Memory:
    feedback_synology_iso_export_root_only_uid_107_denied.
  - Path B+SCSI: same OVMF timeout, just on SCSI controller. Bus
    choice was not load-bearing — the issue was always the slow PVC
    backing.
  - Path C (this commit): containerDisk delivers the ISO bytes from
    a tmpfs view of the OCI layer, no PVC controller in the read path.
    qemu reads at native FS speed; OVMF first-sector read completes
    well within timeout. This is also the KubeVirt-recommended pattern
    for installer ISOs.

Connects to FlowerCore.Distribution / Provisioning USB story: same
"OCI image of the OS installer + autounattend on a sysprep CDROM"
pattern that the USB provisioning agent will use. The Windows
install proceeds hands-off via the existing autounattend.xml in
ci1-autounattend ConfigMap (RDP enabled, WinRM, UAC disabled,
Administrator password from 1Password vault item
h3ix4mgfk65gmkcmvh6ly3d3hu).

Image lifecycle: bump tag (1.1, 1.2, ...) when ISO version changes,
rebuild on noc1, redistribute to RKE2 nodes, update image: line.

Legacy NFS PVC + PV manifest and CDI Longhorn PVC RETAINED for this
commit so prior states are recoverable. Will prune in follow-up
once containerDisk boot proves.

8fd9ae1cd3 fix(ci1): revert NFS Path B + flip ISO cdrom bus sata→scsi
NFS Path B (commit fc2aca0) failed at storage layer: Synology export
`/volume1/ISOs` denies non-root client UIDs at the directory level.
qemu uid 107 cannot `ls /iso/` even though disk.img is mode 0777.

Diagnosed via uid-107 + uid-0 busybox probe pods on rke2-agent2:
- libvirt error: "Cannot access storage file ... Permission denied"
  (virStorageSourceReportBrokenChain:1281, virError Code=38 Domain=18)
- uid 107 pod: "ls: can't open '/iso/': Permission denied"
- uid 0 pod (same mount): "drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 ... disk.img"
- SELinux Enforcing + virt_use_nfs=on, no AVC denials → not SELinux
- File mode 0777 with owner 107:107 → not POSIX

Same export-only-root pattern as `/volume1/kubernetes`. Memory:
feedback_synology_iso_export_root_only_uid_107_denied.md

Existing CDI-uploaded Longhorn PVC `windows-server-2025-iso` (10Gi
Filesystem mode) verified to contain valid ISO bytes readable by
uid 107 (mode 0660 root:107, 9.85 GB sparse, 8.27 GB blocks ≈
original 7.7 GB ISO). Reverting to it.

The original OVMF SATA-CDROM read timeout that drove yesterday's
NFS pivot is now addressed by `cdrom: bus: scsi` (virtio-scsi has
a longer read window than the IDE/SATA emulator). Per user-prompt
diagnostic chain Step 5.

NFS PVC + PV (apps/kubevirt-vms/win2025-iso-nfs-pv.yaml) RETAINED
so Path B state is recoverable; can be pruned in follow-up once
SCSI boot is proven.
