Rename live-usb service files, hook scripts, and package lists from
soosef to fieldwitness. Fix remaining VERISOO_ env vars in docker
compose and kubernetes configs.

Complete project rebrand for better positioning in the press freedom
and digital security space. FieldWitness communicates both field
deployment and evidence testimony — appropriate for the target audience
of journalists, NGOs, and human rights organizations.
Rename mapping:
- soosef → fieldwitness (package, CLI, all imports)
- soosef.stegasoo → fieldwitness.stego
- soosef.verisoo → fieldwitness.attest
- ~/.soosef/ → ~/.fwmetadata/ (innocuous data dir name)
- SOOSEF_DATA_DIR → FIELDWITNESS_DATA_DIR
- SoosefConfig → FieldWitnessConfig
- SoosefError → FieldWitnessError
Also includes:
- License switch from MIT to GPL-3.0
- C2PA bridge module (Phase 0-2 MVP): cert.py, export.py, vendor_assertions.py
- README repositioned to lead with provenance/federation, stego backgrounded
- Threat model skeleton at docs/security/threat-model.md
- Planning docs: docs/planning/c2pa-integration.md, docs/planning/gtm-feasibility.md

CRITICAL:
- #1+#2: Consistency proof verification no longer a stub — implements
actual hash chain reconstruction from proof hashes, rejects proofs
that don't reconstruct to the expected root. GossipNode._verify_consistency
now calls verify_consistency_proof() instead of just checking sizes.
- #3: Remove passphrase.lower() from KDF — was silently discarding
case entropy from mixed-case passphrases. Passphrases are now
case-sensitive as users would expect.
- #4: Federation gossip now applies record_filter (trust store check)
on every received record before appending to the log. Untrusted
attestor fingerprints are rejected with a warning.
- #5: Killswitch disables all logging BEFORE activation to prevent
audit log from recording killswitch activity that could survive an
interrupted purge. Audit log destruction moved to position 4 (right
after keys + flask secret, before other data).
HIGH:
- #6: CSRF exemption narrowed from entire dropbox blueprint to only
the upload view function. Admin routes retain CSRF protection.
- #7: /health endpoint returns only {"status":"ok"} to anonymous
callers. Full operational report requires authentication.
- #8: Metadata stripping now reconstructs image from pixel data only
(Image.new + putdata), stripping XMP, IPTC, and ICC profiles — not
just EXIF.
- #9: Same as #6 (CSRF scope fix).
MEDIUM:
- #11: Receipt HMAC key changed from public upload token to server-side
secret key, making valid receipts unforgeable by the source or anyone
who captured the upload URL.
- #12: Docker CMD no longer defaults to --no-https. HTTPS with
self-signed cert is the default; --no-https requires explicit opt-in.
- #14: shred return code now checked — non-zero exit falls through to
the zero-overwrite fallback instead of silently succeeding.

Platform pivot from Raspberry Pi to three-tier model:
- Tier 1: Bootable Debian Live USB for field reporters
- Tier 2: Docker/K8s org server for newsrooms
- Tier 3: Docker/K8s federation relay for VPS
Tier 1 — Live USB (deploy/live-usb/):
- build.sh: live-build based image builder for amd64
- Package list: Python + system deps + minimal GUI (openbox + Firefox)
- Install hook: creates venv, pip installs soosef[web,cli,attest,...]
- Hardening hook: disable swap/coredumps, UFW, auto-login to web UI
- systemd service with security hardening (NoNewPrivileges, ProtectSystem)
- Auto-opens Firefox kiosk to http://127.0.0.1:5000 on boot
Tier 2+3 — Docker (deploy/docker/):
- Multi-stage Dockerfile with two targets:
- server: full web UI + stego + attestation + federation (Tier 2)
- relay: lightweight FastAPI attestation API only (Tier 3)
- docker-compose.yml with both services and persistent volumes
- .dockerignore for clean builds
Kubernetes (deploy/kubernetes/):
- namespace.yaml, server-deployment.yaml, relay-deployment.yaml
- PVCs, services, health checks, resource limits
- Single-writer strategy (Recreate, not RollingUpdate) for SQLite safety
- README with architecture diagram and deployment instructions
Config presets (deploy/config-presets/):
- low-threat.json: press freedom country (no killswitch, 30min sessions)
- medium-threat.json: restricted press (48h deadman, USB monitoring)
- high-threat.json: conflict zone (12h deadman, tamper monitoring, 5min sessions)
- critical-threat.json: targeted surveillance (127.0.0.1 only, 6h deadman, 3min sessions)
Deployment guide rewritten for three-tier model with RPi as legacy appendix.
