config.json is re-rendered every deploy, so credentials go in
/etc/van-router-mqtt/credentials.json (seeded empty if absent, never
overwritten). The service logs MQTT connect/refuse/disconnect state changes,
and --post-check warns when the broker refuses the service.

Live R5C run: after the Armbian catch-all .network was removed, networkd kept its
in-memory claim on the uplink port (two addresses, extra proto dhcp default route)
until `networkctl reload`. The helper now reloads networkd after the forward apply
and after the rollback re-apply (not fatal, not gating; logs the port state and a
"networkd still manages" note on the forward path), the AN_* time budget includes
it, and --post-check warns when the netplan matches but networkd still lists the
uplink port configured/configuring.

- ap/50-van-wan.yaml: revert the comment to "see STARLINK_IFACE in deploy.conf" so the
rendered file is byte-identical to the Pi 5's installed netplan (it otherwise reports
"differs" forever); note in deploy.sh next to render_wan_netplan.
- check 14: baseline 3d117e7, keep byte-identity for wan.conf, assert no /etc/vanlink.conf;
the failure branch no longer aborts the suite under pipefail.
- helper restore(): restart van-br0-setup (unit present, timeout 30, non-fatal) after the
re-apply, before the connectivity re-check; asserted in the rollback sandbox scenario.

I-1 helper logs diagnostics (nmcli, DHCP routers, networkctl -n 0, ip addr, ip route; each
under timeout 5) before a stage 1/2 restore, and the port's networkctl list line on success
(information only, never gating).
I-2 ap/nm-uplink-pending.conf -> /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/zz-van-wan-pending.conf keeps NM
off STARLINK_IFACE while the WAN netplan is missing; installed before network-manager,
removed once the netplan matches, left as is when it differs (port already handed to NM).
apply_network backs it up as nm-pending.conf; the helper removes it + reloads NM conf right
before netplan generate/apply, restore() puts it back and reloads after the re-apply.
--wan-plan prints "uplink NM pending conf: ...".
I-3 nm_wan_state_netplan: "unreadable" (0600 file, non-root); --wan-plan and post-check say so
without warning.
I-4 apply_preflight_problems (+ hidden --apply-preflight, VANLINK_HOSTNAME test knob ignored as
root): port absent / conf of another host -> refused without --force. Stage 2 also needs
van-failover's own "proto static" default route on the port.
M-1 helper restarts van-br0-setup (if the unit exists) after the forward netplan apply.
M-3 nm_pkg_installed (dpkg-query Status) in deploy, --wan-plan and --apply-network.
M-5 header documents VANLINK_CONF; stale test comment fixed.
M-6 cellular_profile_exists ignores VANLINK_NM_DIR as root.
M-7 tests: NM-off files installed before network-manager; read-only sub-commands never apt-get.
M-8 an existing, differing WAN netplan is shown (redact_secrets now masks YAML password:) and
refused without --force.

Li3, NVMe watchdog, Home Assistant/ESPHome, Frigate and Cockpit are
installed, enabled and restarted only when their ENABLE_* flag is 1.
--diff shows what would change in /etc. A unit that fails to restart is
recorded as a warning instead of aborting the deploy.

nftables.conf hardcoded the R5C network, van-br0-setup.service the R5C
interfaces and several configs wlan0/eth0. All now come from the host
config; the onboard LAN port is skipped when ONBOARD_LAN_IFACE is empty.

deploy.conf is replaced by one versioned file per host plus an example.
deploy.sh validates the config, renders every template with a generic
token loop, refuses to install output with leftover @TOKENs and gains
--check/--templates. LAN_USB_IFACE is renamed LAN_IFACE.
