Use $SERVER env var in README instead of YOUR_SERVER_IP placeholder
...
`$SERVER` is set once at the top of the setup flow, then reused across
all five setup sections and the debugging chapter. Avoids 24× repetition
of the placeholder and lets the reader paste the blocks directly after
`export SERVER=...`.
`$SERVER` (not `$HOST`) because zsh sets `$HOST` to the local hostname
as a built-in parameter, and many tools use `$HOST` conventionally — name
collision would be confusing.
While here: drop the "(recommended)" hedge on `hal fix static-ip` in
section 3 of the install flow — given Hetzner's DHCP fragility (the bug
that caused this whole debugging session), the static cmdline IP belongs
in the standard install path, not as an optional extra.

Reorganized hal CLI into subcommand groups + MIT licensed
...
CLI structure now:
hal {status,diagnose,unlock,forget} HOST
hal connect {rescue,chroot,server} HOST [CMD]
hal setup {image,dropbear,grub,encrypt-root} HOST
hal fix {boot,network,grub,kernel,static-ip,upgrade,expand-fs} HOST
Added subcommands cover the previously-manual sections of the README:
setup image — upload autosetup + run installimage
setup dropbear — install dropbear + mkinitcpio plugins + patch HOOKS
setup grub — initial grub install for LUKS boot
setup encrypt-root — full LUKS conversion of installed root
connect server — SSH to booted Arch (vs rescue/chroot)
unlock — cryptroot-unlock via dropbear with passphrase from keyring
fix expand-fs — lvresize + btrfs resize
Renames (breaking):
upgrade-system -> fix upgrade
expand-fs -> fix expand-fs
forget-passphrase -> forget
reinstall-grub -> fix grub
downgrade-kernel -> fix kernel
use-static-ip -> fix static-ip
fix-{boot,network} -> fix {boot,network}
install-{image,grub} -> setup {image,grub}
setup-dropbear -> setup dropbear
encrypt-root -> setup encrypt-root
Removed downgrade-initramfs (never verified, narrow use case).
README rewritten to reference only hal commands; raw bash blocks for
pacman/cryptsetup/grub-install/mount/chroot are gone. Added autosetup.example
as a template for `hal setup image --autosetup PATH`.
Licensed under MIT (LICENSE file added). Author and homepage shown in
hal --version, hal --help, pyproject.toml, and README.

Added hal Python CLI
...
Wraps the rescue/chroot/diagnose/fix workflows in a single tool with
LUKS-passphrase keyring caching. Subcommands: status, connect rescue,
connect chroot, diagnose, fix-boot, fix-network, downgrade-kernel,
downgrade-initramfs, reinstall-grub, use-static-ip, upgrade-system,
forget-passphrase.
connect subcommands accept an optional remote command after the host
for non-interactive execution.
README updated to reference hal instead of the previous shell scripts.
