elizaOS Live USB distro

[NubsCarson]

Summary

• Brands the Tails-derived live USB image as elizaOS across boot, greeter, desktop, help, installer, and persistence surfaces.
• Adds the elizaOS Live app/service overlay, startup supervision, persistence hooks, privacy-mode wiring, and capability-runner boundary.
• Retires the old root-level Linux/usbeliza prototype from this branch so packages/os/linux/variants/milady-tails/ is the active Linux distro source of truth.
• Adds runtime alignment for the live app: close-to-minimize behavior, elizaOS capability broker action, env forwarding, and build fixes for packaged plugins.
• Fixes the late ISO syslinux utility hook for the current Debian syslinux package layout.
• Adds/updates docs for build status, product distribution, signed updates, model delivery, USB writing, and honest production-readiness debt.

Validation

• packages/os/linux/variants/milady-tails/scripts/static-smoke.sh passed in the build worktree before the full build.
• git diff --check passed for the docs/prototype-removal, runtime-alignment, and syslinux-hook commits.
• bun run --cwd plugins/plugin-agent-orchestrator typecheck passed in the main worktree.
• bun run --cwd packages/app-core/platforms/electrobun typecheck currently fails on pre-existing UI JSX typing issues (electrobun-webview intrinsic element and Icon construct signature), not the close/minimize patch.
• Full chroot build completed; first binary stage reached squashfs and failed late on an inherited syslinux hook expecting the old /usr/lib/SYSLINUX path. The hook is fixed and a 6-CPU binary-stage rerun is running locally now.

Notes

• The large packaged app payload and generated ISO artifacts are intentionally not committed.
• Internal Tails path/module names remain where renaming would break inherited Tails plumbing.
• Current branch for review: nubs/elizaos-live-usb.
