os-infrastructure and os-network-admin: Distribution Model
editorial(architecture): fix os-products-distribution-model's pricing/catalog overclaims (Track-B) — confirmed against the real catalog (app-privategit-marketplace/catalog/products.yaml): os-network-admin is catalogued at $0 USDC (beta), not $1; os-infrastructure is not catalogued at all, not $19 — rewrote to distinguish the one live $0 beta listing from os-infrastructure's planned-but-not-yet-catalogued distribution model throughout (artifacts, license flow, install principle); added missing index_group frontmatter field (pre-existing lint ERROR, unrelated to this fix); ES pair had the same stale $19/$1 claims, never corrected; register-clean EN+ES

Installation complexity is constrained to three operator decisions or fewer. The target market is small and medium businesses with limited IT staff. Installation complexity is designed to stay within three operator decisions or fewer. For `os-infrastructure` on bare metal: download the `.iso`, write it to USB, boot the machine, and answer three setup questions (node name, genesis endpoint, pairing code). The node appears in the fleet within thirty seconds of completing the pairing sequence. For `os-infrastructure` on bare metal, once catalogued: download the `.iso`, write it to USB, boot the machine, and answer three setup questions (node name, genesis endpoint, pairing code). The node is designed to appear in the fleet within thirty seconds of completing the pairing sequence. For `os-network-admin` in daemon mode: download the AppImage, mark it executable, run it, and configure the WireGuard endpoint through the guided terminal interface. The daemon joins the mesh and registers in the fleet without requiring any system reimaging.
