The canary boot showed the entry sitting noticeably left of the centered logo.
gfxmenu's boot_menu draws items left-aligned inside the box with a ~29px inset
and offers no item alignment, so centering means placing the box: left 25%->40%,
width 50%->35%. Measured off the canary screenshot, not guessed; the comment
records the measurement so a future label change gets re-measured instead of
re-guessed.

Two jobs, one repack pass.
BRANDING. Every ISO now carries a Felhom boot screen built from the website's
og-image_2.png at repack time (ImageMagick in the assistant container), so the
boot card has ONE source and not a second pre-rendered copy in the repo to
drift. The card is scaled onto a 1024x768 gfxterm canvas, top-centered, and the
card's own subtle background grid is continued across the letterbox fill
PHASE-LOCKED to where the card's grid lands — the fill is seamless rather than a
square of grid floating in flat navy. Menu positioning needs a gfxmenu theme
(plain background_image cannot move the menu off the wordmark), so the stock
pvetheme is replaced by felhomtheme, which puts the menu in the lower third the
layout deliberately leaves empty.
SAFETY — the half that matters. The stock PVE menu offers Graphical, Terminal
UI and serial installers plus an Advanced Options submenu (nomodeset x2, three
debug variants, Rescue Boot, memtest, UEFI settings). Every one of them reaches
the MANUAL installer, whose first question is which disk to wipe. A customer, or
their helpful nephew, must not be able to get there from a boot menu. They are
not hidden and not password-gated: they are NOT EMITTED. What ships is one
entry, 'Felhom telepítés', default, 5s.
Boot behavior is unchanged. The kernel/append and initrd lines are lifted
VERBATIM from the ISO's own 'Install Proxmox VE (Automated)' entry rather than
frozen into a copy here, so a PVE bump tracks automatically; the build fails if
they cannot be found, if the append line has lost proxmox-start-auto-installer,
or if auto-installer-mode.toml is absent (which would mean the one Felhom-
labelled entry boots a manual installer). The rendered menu is then gated for
exactly 1 entry, 0 submenus, and zero references to proxtui/proxdebug/nomodeset/
Rescue Boot/memtest/fwsetup — and re-verified by reading the menu back OUT of
the finished ISO, not merely out of the extract tree.
mkimage-surgery.sh -> iso-repack.sh: branding and the slice-B loader swap need
the same extract -> modify -> re-master cycle, so they share one pass instead of
re-mastering twice. The mkimage recipe is untouched. The embedded module list is
still derived from the STOCK grub.cfg (snapshotted before branding rewrites it),
plus gfxmenu's bitmap/bitmap_scale/trig renderer deps.
