openwrt: Build fergal's firmware in the flake
fergal is an 8-port SFP+ switch on a Realtek RTL9303, running OpenWrt rather than RouterOS or UniFi. It is not part of the fabric yet, but its firmware is now built here via astro's nix-openwrt-imagebuilder. Packages are baked into the image: OpenWrt's package server keeps only the current build of each feed, so installing at runtime stops working as soon as the feed moves past the running firmware. Those feed indexes rotate constantly, and upstream pins only the indexes -- a mismatch drops evaluation into import-from-derivation, putting this flake's eval on the network. The openwrt-feeds input pins expanded per-package hashes instead, in a repository of its own because they run to hundreds of thousands of generated lines. Flashing gets a procedure doc and a thin skill pointing at it, the same split as the box installation and nixpkgs upgrade procedures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
