Fixes #151


PR created automatically by Jules for task 11648635374876350312

This commit addresses a wide range of issues identified in a comprehensive code review, including critical security vulnerabilities, build system failures, and logic errors.

Key changes include:

- **Security:**
  - Patched a path traversal vulnerability in the Flask download endpoint.
  - Mitigated a race condition and memory leaks in the Flask build endpoint by implementing a thread-safe, queue-based build process.
  - Replaced the use of the `--privileged` Docker flag with more granular capabilities (`--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --cap-add=MKNOD`) to reduce container security risks.
  - Implemented atomic file writes in `entrypoint.sh` to prevent configuration file corruption.
  - Added input validation for directory paths and package list syntax.

- **Build System:**
  - Corrected the XZ compression options in `profiledef.sh` for `mksquashfs`.
  - Improved the `select-mirrors.sh` script to handle failures in `reflector` gracefully.
  - Updated the GitHub Actions workflow to invalidate the pacman cache when `pacman.conf` changes.
  - Fixed an issue in the `no-beep.service` file where it would try to write to a non-existent sysfs path.

- **Logic and Reliability:**
  - Enhanced the `validate` function in `entrypoint.sh` to perform more comprehensive checks on configuration files.
  - Corrected a typo in a variable name within the build script.
  - Updated the `bootmodes` array in `profiledef.sh` to use simplified, general options.

Invalid workflow file

You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 37

I have addressed all three issues. I've fixed the YAML syntax error in the workflow file, corrected the mksquashfs options in profiledef.sh, and increased the reflector timeout in scripts/select-mirrors.sh to prevent timeout errors.

This commit addresses a wide range of issues identified in a comprehensive code review, including critical security vulnerabilities, build system failures, and logic errors.

Key changes include:

- **Security:**
  - Patched a path traversal vulnerability in the Flask download endpoint.
  - Mitigated a race condition and memory leaks in the Flask build endpoint by implementing a thread-safe, queue-based build process.
  - Replaced the use of the `--privileged` Docker flag with more granular capabilities (`--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --cap-add=MKNOD`) to reduce container security risks.
  - Implemented atomic file writes in `entrypoint.sh` to prevent configuration file corruption.
  - Added input validation for directory paths and package list syntax.

- **Build System:**
  - Corrected the XZ compression options in `profiledef.sh` for `mksquashfs`.
  - Improved the `select-mirrors.sh` script to handle failures in `reflector` gracefully.
  - Updated the GitHub Actions workflow to invalidate the pacman cache when `pacman.conf` changes.
  - Fixed an issue in the `no-beep.service` file where it would try to write to a non-existent sysfs path.

- **Logic and Reliability:**
  - Enhanced the `validate` function in `entrypoint.sh` to perform more comprehensive checks on configuration files.
  - Corrected a typo in a variable name within the build script.
  - Updated the `bootmodes` array in `profiledef.sh` to use simplified, general options.

- **Pull Request Feedback:**
  - Fixed a YAML syntax error in `.github/workflows/gui-build-test.yml`.
  - Corrected the `mksquashfs` compression options in `profiledef.sh` to use `-processors` instead of the invalid `-Xthreads` option.
  - Increased the `reflector` download timeout to 15 seconds to prevent intermittent failures.

I apologize for the continued issues. I've identified and fixed the root cause of the build failure. The -processors option for mksquashfs was being passed as a string instead of a number, which was causing the build to fail. I have corrected this in profiledef.sh and also simplified the logic for setting the compression options. This should resolve the build failure.
