The USB hub (5GHz + 2.4GHz AP dongles, Starlink + LAN RTL8153s) moves over
from wayback; MAC-derived wlx*/enx* names travel with it, so hostapd/
networkd/cockpit configs are unchanged. Pi diffs only: failover WAN list
(wlan0 wifi 100, eth0 150, starlink USB 200, Koodo 300), cpu_thermal
sensor, bcm2835 watchdog 10s, no HA DNAT/lease, and deploy.sh drops
battery/lid/heartbeat/ZT-dns. Netplan reference in ap/50-van-wan.yaml.

Two TODO Tier-1 items:
- Hardware watchdog: power/10-vanlink-watchdog.conf drop-in sets
RuntimeWatchdogSec=20s + RebootWatchdogSec=5min; deploy.sh applies it via
daemon-reexec. PID1 pets intel_oc_wdt; a >20s systemd hang hard-resets the box.
- Heartbeat / dead-man's switch: vendored hbc.yaml + hbc.service report to
hbd.wrede.pvt (UDP 50003) every 15s as user andreas, shipping cpu/mem/disk/
network/zfs metrics. The hbc binary is installed once via the heartbeat
project's installer (README §4); deploy.sh starts the service when present.
Auto-power-on-when-mains-returns: documented as a BIOS-only option (not
OS-controllable on this ZenBook) in README §3 + TODO, per decision.
