REFERENCES (section 13, was six lines, now a map)
Where every referenced thing lives, so the document is usable by someone without
today's context: this repo, the PXE server share, shopdb-flask, the on-bay log
locations, and the evidence bundles each claim came from. Plus re-derivation
recipes - pulling startnet out of boot.wim, extracting customizations.xml from an
8 GB .ppkg without unpacking it, reading the provisioning evtx, and the two
validation commands - and the 2026-08-06 commit list.
LTSC AUTOSTART - CORRECTED
Section 7.1 previously argued PESetup might already auto-start: AutoStartCountDown
is 31, disableauto.json is absent, and the operator on 579C144 clicked Next at 11
seconds, so nobody had waited long enough to find out.
Per the team's operational experience that is wrong for our media. LTSC builds
cannot autostart - the SELECT OS confirmation is mandatory regardless of the
countdown, and every image we produce is Windows 11 LTSC 24H2.
So the countdown is not a route to zero-touch. That promotes re-implementing the
imaging step from a contingency to the actual decision, and the risk table and
open questions now frame it as "re-implement, or accept one click per build" -
zero-touch being the only thing that requires it. The hands-off test is kept, but
only to confirm and record the behaviour first-hand.
