Retire the bundled-silent-installer requirement: postinstall now detects an
existing Npcap service and moves on, warns clearly when absent, and still
honors a bundled deploy\npcap.exe if one is shipped. package.ps1 no longer
flags the missing bundle as a warning.

Network-agnostic, air-gapped pod install for the two DOSBox titles (BT/RP 4.10),
fitting the existing TeslaConsole/TeslaLauncher pod-bay architecture.
emulator/DEPLOYMENT-PLAN.md
Full design: bridge on the one NIC (pods form a source-proven P2P TCP mesh, so
NAT/slirp is out); launcher keeps the bay IP, the DOSBox guest bridges at
bayIP+100 (egg/mesh/game endpoint); two-edit +100 convention (postinstall +
console DOSBox flag); static, air-gapped, <=32 pods.
emulator/pod-launch/ (C# net8 supervising entry-point)
Creates a Job Object (KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE), launches DOSBox-X + the render bridge
into it and blocks -- kill this process and both die (kernel-enforced, even on
a hard TerminateProcess of a hung session; verified). Mode dispatch: bt/rp
wired (also serve camera + live mission-review via egg hostType); review +
diagnostics recognized but fail clean until their DOS launch args are known.
emulator/deploy/ (install side)
postinstall.bat (thin elevated wrapper) + configure.ps1 (NIC detect, realnic
bind as a contiguous letter-leading GUID fragment, game IP = bayIP+100, stable
MAC, render net_*.conf templates, stamp WATTCP.CFG my_ip) + tokenized conf
templates + package.ps1 (assemble the zip). Render/bind/stamp + packaging
verified against a scratch tree.
