The OS-side counterpart to the service-upgrade pipeline. Covers
the unattended-upgrades + kured + sentinel-gate + Prometheus
halt-on-alert design landed in c0991f7f8.
Runbook: ops procedures (verify health, halt rollout, restore
config to a re-imaged node, roll back a bad upgrade, investigate
which alert is blocking).
Architecture doc: extends the existing service-upgrade flow with
a "K8s Node OS Upgrades" section (stack, sources of truth, day-2
mechanism, why-this-design rationale tied to the March 2026
post-mortem).
