Straw Man 1-prep/templates/iiab-expand-rootfs.service based on 2020's PR #2522 + /usr/sbin/iiab-expand-rootfs "bash -xe" exit-on-error (to defer deleting /.expand-rootfs)

rootfs can fail to fully expand: race condition betw iiab-expand-rootfs & systemd-fsck ? (journalctl confusingly/regularly portrays 2 simultaneous boots due to lack of RTC?)

MongoDB 4.4, 5.0 & 6.0RC1 don't run on Ubuntu 22.04 (preventing Sugarizer install) [missing apt package libssl1.1 -> libssl3 ?]

What USB 3.0 stick/drive patterns degrade a Raspberry Pi's 2.4GHz WiFi?

Admin Console should offer iiab-hotspot-on|off functionality [and explain command-line alternatives, which are often necessary!]
