FIX: Audit remediation — build integrity, supply chain, hygiene

Containerfile
- bootc container lint now runs BEFORE ostree container commit in one
  RUN layer (F-01: lint could not block a committed image)
- Remove duplicate kernel-devel install; PACKAGES.md packages-kernel is SSOT

automation/42-cosign-policy.sh
- Replace v0.2.0 (MiOS version, not cosign) with real COSIGN_VERSION=v2.4.3
- Download cosign_checksums.txt and sha256sum -c before install (F-02)

automation/01-repos.sh
- Enable gpgcheck=1 + repo_gpgcheck=1 on Fedora 44 repos (F-05)
- Import fedora-gpg-keys if RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-44-x86_64 not present

automation/37-aichat.sh
- Download .sha256 sidecar for aichat and aichat-ng; verify before
  extracting; die on mismatch (F-06)

automation/19-k3s-selinux.sh
- Pin k3s-selinux clone to tag K3S_SELINUX_TAG (default v1.5.stable.2)
  instead of branch HEAD (F-07)

automation/10-gnome.sh
- Download sha256 sidecar for Bibata cursor; verify before extracting (F-08)

automation/build.sh
- Add 99-postcheck.sh to CONTAINERFILE_SCRIPTS skip list; was running
  twice per build (F-09)

automation/99-cleanup.sh
- Remove ostree container commit; Containerfile is sole commit point (F-10)

.github/workflows/mios-ci.yml
- Make smoke-test build fatal; broken PRs were merging silently (F-11)

etc/containers/systemd/mios-ceph.container
- Pin Image to quay.io/ceph/ceph:v18 instead of :latest (F-12)
- Document root/no-User= exception (F-14)

etc/containers/systemd/mios-k3s.container
- Document Privileged=true architectural exception (F-13)
- Document root exception and K3S_TOKEN bootstrap drop-in override (F-14)

automation/49-finalize.sh
- Replace direct dnf5 with $DNF_BIN "${DNF_SETOPT[@]}" (F-15)

automation/90-generate-sbom.sh
- Replace direct dnf with $DNF_BIN "${DNF_SETOPT[@]}" (F-16)
- Remove wall-clock timestamp from SBOM filenames (F-17)

automation/{common,lib_common,masking,lib_masking,packages,lib_packages}.sh
- Delete 6 stale duplicate library files; canonical copies are in lib/ (F-18)

automation/08-system-files-overlay.sh
- Add comment explaining why mkdir /var/home is required at build time (F-25)

image-versions.yml
- Remove malformed SHA256 hex; clarify Renovate populates digests (F-22/23)

SECURITY.md
- Mark init_on_alloc/free and page_alloc.shuffle as intentionally disabled
  due to CUDA/NVIDIA incompatibility (F-26)

Justfile
- Add --build-arg MIOS_USER and --build-arg MIOS_HOSTNAME to all three
  podman build targets (build, build-logged, build-verbose); user-chosen
  values were silently ignored and always defaulted to 'mios'
