fix: first-boot service waits for internet and retries on failure
Root cause: network-online.target was unreliable because NetworkManager-wait-online was disabled, so pifinder-first-boot ran before internet was available. - Add curl-based connectivity check with 5-minute retry loop - Add Restart=on-failure with 15s delay - Re-enable NetworkManager-wait-online (with 30s timeout) - Add sudo permissions for systemctl/journalctl (remote recovery) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
