Without an explicit build command, job.py runs dotnet build (which fails
on nsis-plugin-ns7zip in a fresh VM) and expects bin\CIOutput as artifact
source. With a trivial BuildCommand, artifact_source defaults to "dist"
and the lightweight command always succeeds.
Also documents one-time simone group/keyring prerequisites for running
the burn-in as simone with ci-runner group access.

/var/lib/ci/ is owned by ci-runner; running as simone causes
PermissionError on artifact dir creation.

Burn-in (4 jobs × 10 rounds), 7-day stability run, and RUNBOOK.md
Linux section are still open. Checklist stays active until all
acceptance criteria are met.

Moves all A/B closeouts, checklists, idea docs, and implementation plans
to plans/archived/2026-05-23/. Both phases are production-stable.
Active plans remaining in plans/:
- idea-3-powershell-removal.md (Phase C — in progress)
- idea-3-esxi-support.md (Phase D — future)
- ideas-overview.md (roadmap reference)

ns7zip matrix Win+Linux passes after the WinRM quotas + desktop-heap
fixes landed in the template scripts. Monitoring window completed
without regressions.

- Add plans/idea-3-powershell-removal.md: Phase C goal is to eliminate
the pwsh dependency from the Linux host by porting the remaining PS
scripts (bench run, validate host, smoke run) to Python sub-commands.
- Update idea-3-esxi-support.md header: Fase C → Fase D.
- Update ideas-overview.md: new four-phase table (A/B/C/D) with
prerequisiti and criteri for Phase C.
- Rename all "Hook futuri Fase C" (ESXi) → "Hook futuri Fase D" in
implementation-plan-A-B.md; add Phase C/D entries to summary and
references section.
- Update PhaseB-user-checklist.md end note and CLAUDE.md to point
Phase C → pwsh removal, Phase D → ESXi.

- Add `retention run` command (ports Invoke-RetentionPolicy.ps1): purges
old artifact/log dirs with aggressive mode when disk space is low.
- Add `template backup` command (ports Backup-CITemplate.ps1): 7z -mx=1
compressed archives in /var/lib/ci/backups/, prunes to keep-count=3,
stops/restarts act-runner.service around the copy.
- Update ci-retention-policy.service and ci-backup-template.service to use
Python; pwsh is no longer required on the Linux host.
- Fix ci-watch-runner-health.service: pass --service-name act-runner
(Linux service name, not Windows act_runner default).
- Fix _list_orphans in vm.py: wrap is_dir() inside the OSError try block
so a stat() failure on an entry is silently skipped rather than raised.
- Mark B5 complete in PhaseB-user-checklist.md.

User requirement (non-negotiable): the project must stay
first-class compatible with a Windows host permanently — Phase B
adds Linux *alongside* Windows, never replacing/degrading it.
- implementation-plan-A-B §2: categorical-constraint banner; B8
decommissioning cancelled (kept only as historical record);
master checklist B8 row updated.
- PhaseB-user-checklist: Passo 9 (B8) cancelled -> dual-host kept;
Passo 8 no longer a decommission gate; tracking table + closing
note updated.

Workflow now targets Simone/nsis-plugin-ns7zip. Renamed the file and
the workflow `name:`, and updated all references in active docs
(plans/archived and docs/archived left as frozen history).

Update active docs (PhaseA/B checklists, README) after rename of feature/python-rewrite-phase-a -> feature/python-rewrite-and-linux-migration. Historical A1-A5 closeouts left untouched as they document state at the time of writing.
