box/drill/doctor.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# doctor.sh — is this host fit to mint boxes (and to drill), and if not, what
# is wrong? Users reach it as 'box doctor'; the drill runs it directly.
#
#   bash drill/doctor.sh          # report
#   bash drill/doctor.sh --fix    # report, then revert what the drill left behind
#
# The drill MUTATES the host in phase D (dns.mode, NIC filtering, ACL rules) to
# rehearse the #16 hardening. If a run aborts before it reverts them, those
# mutations outlive it — and the next run mints boxes on a broken network. That
# is not a hypothetical: it is how a box came up with no DNS at all
# ("Temporary failure resolving deb.debian.org" in cloud-init), and how a false
# design veto against #16 got posted from a poisoned baseline.
#
# This script is the answer to "what state is the host actually in?" — the
# question that kept getting answered by hand.
