- Fix function name: configure_ssh → configure_ssh_client (matches src/)
- Add missing configure_fim call for AIDE File Integrity Monitoring
These functions exist in src/security-hardening.sh but the hook was
calling the wrong name or missing the FIM call entirely.

Add JOURNAL.md to version control. This file serves as
the AI agent's long-term memory and learning repository.
Purpose:
- Capture insights and patterns discovered
- Document lessons learned from sessions
- Record architectural decision records (ADRs)
- Enable knowledge persistence across sessions
Format:
- Append-only (never delete or modify existing entries)
- Dated entries with clear sections
- Cross-references to related files
This file is maintained by AI agents working on the project
and provides context for future sessions.

Extend the test runner to support system-level tests
for VM boot verification and runtime testing.
Changes:
- Add test:system command for system tests only
- Update main test command to include system tests
- System tests cover boot, Secure Boot, and FDE
New command: ./run.sh test:system
This allows running system tests independently when
prerequisites (libvirt, ISO) are available.

Improve code quality by addressing shellcheck warnings
across security-critical scripts.
src/security-hardening.sh:
- Add shellcheck directive for SC2120/SC2119
- Function configure_password_policy() accepts optional args
- Directive documents intentional usage pattern
src/firewall-setup.sh:
- Fix function argument passing in main()
- Properly pass arguments to configure_firewall()
config/hooks/installed/encryption-setup.sh:
- Consolidate echo commands to fix SC2129
- Use single redirect for multiple writes
Remaining warnings are non-critical:
- SC1091: Source files exist at runtime in Docker container
- SC2016: Intentional single quotes for sed pattern
No functional changes - purely code quality improvements.
