Admins might need to add machine-specific initramfs content after install
(a udev rule to unlock local storage is the classic case) and reach for
editing /boot, which bootc overwrites on update. Document the supported
path: build a machine-local derived image that regenerates the
initramfs, so the image stays the source of truth.

Also record why rpm-ostree's client-side initramfs is incompatible with
bootc upgrade, and the UKI-addon direction.

I also had Claude Code with Fable create Containers and test these with bcvk.

Would be good to put that stuff somewhere, maybe as part of revitalizing https://gitlab.com/fedora/bootc/tests/bootc-workflow-test
