mrcharles 39bb855a98 chore(archive): preserve KNELServerBuild remainder + layout notes [#474]
Archive the non-ported remainder of the legacy KNELServerBuild repo
under archive/KNELServerBuild/ with its original structure intact,
completing the legacy repo merge for everything except the live
LibreNMS patterns (ported in the previous commit).

Exclusions:
- .git history (superseded; legacy repo remains at its original path)
- ported files (Agents/librenms, Modules/OAM/oam-librenms.sh,
  ConfigFiles/SNMP/snmp-sudo.conf)
- vendored KNELShellFramework tree (byte-identical duplicate of the
  copy already vendored at vendor/ in this repo)
- SSH authorized-keys files (live access-control material; carrying
  them in an archive invites drift — key policy lives elsewhere)

The whole tree is skip-listed in tests/shellcheck.sh (archived legacy
code, not maintained — same standing as vendor/); check-rules.sh
already prunes archive/. Rule 9 (conflict markers) now also excludes
archive/ staged files: preserved-verbatim legacy scripts contain
decorative "====" banners that false-positive as conflict markers
(same archive exclusion precedent as rule 11).

AGENTS.md: note archive/KNELServerBuild and oam/librenms-agent in the
Repository Layout, and fix the stale KNELIAC path to
/home/reachableceo/projects/KNEL/KNELIAC.

# Agent Guidelines
## Repository Layout
Knowing where things live prevents broken edits:
- **Vendored framework**: `KNELShellFramework` lives at
`vendor/git@git.knownelement.com/29418/KNEL/KNELShellFramework/`, **not** at
the repo root. Its includes are under `Framework-Includes/` there. Never
assume `./Framework-Includes` exists relative to the repo root.
- **Self-locating scripts**: All provisioning scripts derive their own
location via `BASH_SOURCE` and compute `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH` from it. They must
**never** depend on the current working directory or on `cd`/`realpath ..`
chains. Run them from anywhere — `sudo bash SetupNewSystem.sh` works.
- **Local config files are the source of truth**: Configs in
`ProjectCode/ConfigFiles/` are read with `cat`/`cp`. Do **not** re-introduce
`curl ${DL_ROOT}/...` downloads from `dl.knownelement.com` — that CDN is
deprecated for this repo.
- **Path variables**: Scripts export `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH`, `CONFIGFILES_PATH`,
`MODULES_PATH`, `SCRIPTS_PATH`, and `AGENTS_PATH` for locating repo content.
- **Non-bash agents**: Some files under `ProjectCode/Agents/` carry a `.sh`
extension but are PHP (e.g. `mysql.sh`, shebang `#!/usr/bin/php`). Syntax
checkers must skip these.
## Git Commit Requirements
When making changes to this repository, ALWAYS:
1. **Commit atomically**: Each logical change should be its own commit
2. **Use conventional commit format**:
- `feat(scope): description` - New feature
- `fix(scope): description` - Bug fix
- `docs: description` - Documentation changes
- `refactor(scope): description` - Code refactoring
- `test(scope): description` - Test additions/changes
- `chore: description` - Maintenance tasks
3. **Write verbose, beautifully formatted messages**:
- Title line (50 chars max)
- Blank line
- Body explaining WHAT and WHY (not how)
- Reference related files/issues
- Include footer with attribution
## Example Commit
```
feat(security-hardening): implement SCAP-STIG compliance logic
Refactor apply script to implement comprehensive security hardening:
- Add GRUB bootloader permission hardening (root:root, mode 0400)
- Disable and remove autofs service per STIG requirements
- Deploy modprobe configurations for kernel module blacklisting
- Create STIG-compliant network protocol blacklist
This ensures servers meet DoD security requirements for production
deployment.

## Autonomous Git Workflow
**Agents are authorized to commit AND push autonomously. Do not wait to be
asked.** After each logical unit of work:
1. Stage only the files belonging to that logical change.
2. Commit with a conventional, well-formed message (see above).
3. Push to `origin` (`git push`). The branch tracks `origin/main`.
4. Repeat per logical unit.
Group changes so each commit is coherent on its own (a reader should
understand the commit without seeing the others). Never batch unrelated
changes into one commit.
