Add essentials.windowsUpdate template that boots Audit Mode, uses the
Windows Update COM API to search/download/install all available updates
(cumulative, .NET, Defender), handles multi-round reboots with Audit
Mode preservation, and compacts the image afterward.
Known issues being worked:
- Audit Mode preservation after update reboot needs verification
- Install takes ~60-90 min with 4GB RAM on slow machines
See wip/win10-update.session.md for full context and TODOs.

Images:
- laptopUpstream: bare OS install with AHCI, no templates
- laptopSlim: essentials only (debloat, registry tweaks)
- laptop: full (essentials + all apps)
- win10/win11 images use rec for self-references
CLI:
- preserve recovery partition (4) during disk copy
- expand partition 3 up to partition 4 boundary
- remove VNC CLI flag (use vncDisplay in nix configs instead)
Flake:
- add devShell with vmix alias and PS1 prompt

CLI:
- `vmix run <qcow2>` boots image with QEMU (SDL if DISPLAY, snapshot mode)
- --generalize supports delay-oobe-run=true to defer OOBE + activation
to first boot on real hardware (for physical disk deployments)
Templates:
- essentials.virtioDrivers: installs VirtIO drivers only (no guest agent)
used in laptop bundle for network access during Office download
- generalize: delayOobeRun flag controls sysprep /shutdown vs /reboot
delays OOBE, user creation and HWID activation to target device
Build:
- suppress XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and homeless-shelter warnings in SDL mode
- remove invalid ICH9-LMB global properties
