claude-hdb 6f7c3bfd60 fix: run 17's four real findings — migrate retire, expose proxy, wait_box, grok PATH
The first drill run where every failure was the RELEASE CODE, not the
environment. 71 passed, 5 failed; all five traced to four bugs:

1. migrate-host --retire-legacy could NEVER succeed. Re-homing ADDS
   user.box=1 but never removed user.claudebox=1, and legacy_boxes()
   counted the old tag — so retire saw its own freshly-migrated box as
   un-migrated and refused forever ('legacy boxes still exist:
   legacybox'), leaving claudenet + claude-dev behind. Now: a verified
   re-home drops the legacy tag LAST (after the move is proven, so a
   failure anywhere above still leaves the box valid under one tag or
   the other), and legacy_boxes() ignores boxes already carrying
   user.box=1.

2. box expose died with a bare 'could not add the proxy device' — it
   swallowed incus's reason, exactly the sin this repo keeps punishing.
   Now it prints incus's error. And the mechanism is corrected: a VM's
   proxy needs NAT mode, which requires a static NIC address, so expose
   pins the box's current lease first (which also fixes the restart
   caveat — the exposure no longer points at a lease the box may lose).

3. wait_box's 2-minute window was too short: the legacy box was declared
   dead and then every migration check against it passed. 4 minutes.

4. The grok template hunted for a regular file named exactly
   'grok-build' under /home/grok and found nothing — an installer's drop
   may be a SYMLINK, and its binary name is upstream's to choose. Now it
   tries the plausible names and paths, falls back to any executable
   grok*, links both names, and SAYS what it found — or dumps what the
   installer actually left when it finds nothing. The drill likewise
   dumps the on-disk evidence and the cloud-init log on a --version
   failure instead of discarding the box.

# You are running inside a box (template: grok)
A box is a trust-less, network-isolated, ephemeral VM created by the
`box` CLI. Keep this context in mind:
- **Creds-free by default.** The box starts with no xAI and no git
credentials. If you need to authenticate, the operator runs
`grok-build login` interactively (SuperGrok / X Premium+). For git, the
operator adds their own credentials (a PAT or `gh auth login`). Never
assume credentials are present; never ask for or store secrets on disk
beyond what the operator sets up.
- **Isolated.** The box reaches the public internet but nothing on the host
or local network. There is no inbound path.
- **Disposable.** Nothing here is backed up. State is discarded when the box
is removed; the operator persists work via git push and via `box snapshot`.
- **Bootstrap runbook.** If the repository you are working in contains a
`.box/` folder (older repos may use `.claudebox/`), read it as your setup runbook — how to install
dependencies, start services, template environment files, seed data, and
smoke-test — and follow it. It is documentation for you, not a script the
host runs.

- sudo -u grok bash -lc 'curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash'
# 'box exec <b> -- grok-build …' runs a NON-interactive shell that reads no
# rc files, so whatever the installer dropped must be symlinked onto the
# system PATH — the same fix the claude template needed (#15).
#
# The FIRST cut of this hunted only for a regular file named exactly
# 'grok-build' under /home/grok, and found nothing: the drill's grok box
# minted fine and then failed '--version'. Two lessons, both applied here:
# an installer's drop may be a SYMLINK (so -type f alone misses it), and its
# binary name is upstream's to choose (so try the plausible names, and any
# 'grok*' executable, before giving up). Then SAY what was found — a silent
# miss is what cost the last run.
