`rpm-ostree upgrade` re-resolves layered packages only when the BASE image
changes; on a frozen Bazzite base (pinned :stable tag / paused rebase) it
reports "No updates available" and never bumps the layered punktfunk even
when newer RPMs are live in the repo — observed on the .41 host stuck at
0.6.0 while 0.7.x sat in the registry.

- Add packaging/bazzite/update-punktfunk.sh: detects the layered punktfunk
  packages, refreshes rpmmd, and forces a re-resolve via
  `rpm-ostree update --uninstall <pkg> --install <pkg>` (the one-transaction
  idiom that actually pulls a new layered version on a static base).
- Document the trap + the fix in packaging/bazzite/README.md, including the
  channel gotcha: an enabled punktfunk-canary.repo (<next-minor>.0-0.ciN)
  outranks stable X.Y.Z-1, so the box silently tracks canary — enable one
  channel only.

#### Updating a Path-A host — `rpm-ostree upgrade` is NOT enough
> ⚠️ **`rpm-ostree upgrade` will not update punktfunk on its own.** `upgrade` bumps the **base
> image** and only re-resolves *layered* packages **when the base changes**. A Bazzite base can
> sit frozen for months (a pinned `:stable` tag, a paused rebase), so `rpm-ostree upgrade` keeps
> reporting *"No updates available"* and your layered `punktfunk` stays put even after new RPMs
> land in the repo. (Diagnose: `rpm-ostree status` shows the base `Version:` unchanged, while
> `dnf -q repoquery --upgrades punktfunk` lists newer builds.)
To actually pull a newer host on a static base, force rpm-ostree to re-resolve just the punktfunk
layer — remove + re-add the same names in one transaction:
```sh
sudo rpm-ostree refresh-md --force
sudo rpm-ostree update \
--uninstall punktfunk --uninstall punktfunk-web \
--install punktfunk --install punktfunk-web
systemctl reboot
```
Or just run the helper, which detects what's layered and does the above:
```sh
sudo bash packaging/bazzite/update-punktfunk.sh # stage; reboot when ready
sudo bash packaging/bazzite/update-punktfunk.sh --reboot # stage + reboot now
```
> **Channel gotcha:** the re-resolve picks the highest version across **every enabled**
> `/etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk*.repo`. If `punktfunk-canary.repo` is enabled alongside the stable
> `punktfunk.repo`, canary's `<next-minor>.0-0.ciN` **outranks** the stable `X.Y.Z-1` and the box
> silently tracks canary. Enable exactly one channel — set `enabled=0` in the other repo file.

# Update the layered punktfunk packages on a Bazzite / Fedora-Atomic host.
#
# Why this exists: `rpm-ostree upgrade` upgrades the *base image* and only re-resolves
# layered packages WHEN THE BASE CHANGES. Bazzite bases can sit frozen for months (a pinned
# `:stable` tag, a paused rebase), so `rpm-ostree upgrade` keeps reporting "No updates
# available" and your layered punktfunk never moves even though newer RPMs are in the repo.
# The fix is to force rpm-ostree to re-resolve just the punktfunk layer against the latest
# repo metadata — an `--uninstall … --install …` of the same package names in one
# transaction. This script does that for whichever of punktfunk / punktfunk-web are layered.
#
# Usage: sudo bash update-punktfunk.sh # stage the newest; you reboot when ready
# sudo bash update-punktfunk.sh --reboot # stage, then reboot immediately
#
# Channel note: it re-resolves against every ENABLED punktfunk repo. If both
# `punktfunk.repo` (stable) and `punktfunk-canary.repo` are enabled, canary's version sorts
# higher and WINS — the box silently tracks canary. Enable exactly the channel you want
# (set `enabled=0` in the other `/etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk*.repo`).
