DNS and DHCP (needed to replace a dnsmasq-based router):
- router.dns.domain/hosts/overrides/forwardZones: authoritative local
domain, split-horizon host records with reverse entries, wildcard
overrides and per-zone forwarders (private zones skip DNSSEC).
- lans.<n>.dhcp.reservations: Kea host reservations, published in DNS.
- Tunnels with dns = true admit what their peers route, so a
site-to-site peer without a transfer address can use the resolver.
Installer:
- router-install wipes a disk, creates an ESP and an ext4 root and
installs a prebuilt system with its secrets; nothing is built on the
box. installed-layout is the shared disk layout contract.
- lib.mkInstaller builds an ISO for a given nixosSystem;
packages.installer-example is the example's ISO.
Covered by the dns and installer VM tests (the latter installs onto an
empty disk and boots it under UEFI), wireguard DNS and assertion cases.
PLAN.md records the remaining gaps for replacing the hand-written router.

- Allow the WAN link to also carry LANs when the uplink is PPPoE on a
VLAN with IPv6 off; only the PPP device counts as an uplink then, so
LAN traffic can never match WAN rules.
- Add router.rollback: router-arm / router-confirm / router-rollback
plus `nix run .#deploy`, a commit-confirm deployment flow.
- Wait for the LAN devices instead of the uplink in networkd
wait-online, so an unplugged uplink cannot block boot or activation.
- Add examples/desktop (single NIC, PPPoE on VLAN 1001) as
nixosConfigurations.example, built as a flake check.
Covered by the onestick and rollback VM tests and new assertion cases.
