Go with Entra ID sign-in through Himmelblau for fedora-intune and drop
the Microsoft Intune app (intune-portal, identity broker) variant. With
a single image, the workstation, Edge and Defender manifests move back
from images/shared into images/fedora-intune, and CI builds just that
image again. The Microsoft repo is now limited to mdatp and Edge.

Fixes found by building and inspecting the image:
- Select the Intune authselect profile with-altfiles. Without it system
users in /usr/lib/passwd (gdm, pipewire, mdatp) do not resolve and the
login screen never starts. The build now fails if gdm does not resolve.
- Ship /opt as a plain directory (opt-usrlocal: root). Defender installs
to /opt/microsoft/mdatp and keeps state in /var/opt/microsoft/mdatp;
with the default /opt -> /var/opt symlink those were the same
read-only directory. rpm-ostree still relocates /opt content to
/usr/lib/opt, so finalize.d/60-opt-links links it back (only for images
where /opt is a directory; fedora-cosmic/remote are unaffected).
- Run Defender's %post on first boot (mdatp-firstboot.service): in a
compose /var is read-only and the machine GUID/state must not be
shared. mdatp.service waits for it.
New image fedora-intune-himmelblau: the same workstation with Entra ID
sign-in through Himmelblau (Community Nightly packages), which joins the
device at the first sign-in and enrolls it in Intune (apply_policy)
instead of the Microsoft Intune app. Workstation, Edge and Defender
manifests move to images/shared so both images use them; build.sh copies
images/shared/*.yaml and CI builds both images in one matrix job.

The minimal base (recommends off) was missing session infrastructure and one
maintained service actively broke the greeter, so RDP clients saw only a white
screen:
- add dbus-daemon: gdm-wayland-session runs it for the greeter session bus
- add systemd-pam: pam_systemd starts the per-user systemd manager
- nsswitch: shadow must include systemd so pam_unix can resolve GDM 50's
dynamic gdm-greeter user (Fedora 44 ships 'files systemd')
- mask uresourced: its resource tuning makes user@<uid>.service fail with
'Failed to spawn executor', leaving no systemd user bus for gnome-session
- Move Kanidm/flatpak/finalize.d/sshd files to images/shared/{files,repos}
and have build.sh overlay them for every image.
- fedora-remote: aggressive hardware trim (no firmware, no kernel-modules-extra,
no non-QEMU guest agents), keep + enable qemu-guest-agent (Proxmox).
- Fixes the missing package-list (release step) for fedora-remote.
Build fedora-cosmic from the upstream Fedora manifests in
fedora/ostree/ci-test (44 and rawhide) with custom overlays:
- remove firefox from the base system
- add token2-fido-bridge + PC/SC smartcard stack and uhid
- install per-user Flatpaks on first login via a systemd user unit
Replace the legacy builder/changelog scripts with:
- build.sh: rpm-ostree compose image (upstream overlay or standalone)
- release.sh: package changelog published as Gitea releases
CI moves to the job-v2 runner with a build matrix, cosign signing and
release publishing. Drop the legacy asahi-cosmic/shared/base images,
builder.sh, changelog.sh, Containerfile and changelogs/.
