<message>Update the _set_golden_from_path function to improve the handling of existing golden image files. Replace the existing unlink logic with a more robust method that safely removes files or broken symlinks using the missing_ok parameter. This change enhances the reliability of the backup upload process by ensuring that stale references are properly cleared before setting a new golden image path.
reTerminal DM4 eMMC provisioning
Automatically deploy or backup the CM4 eMMC when the reTerminal is connected in USB boot mode or when it boots over the network. Uses cloud-init for first-boot configuration.
Revisions are tracked project-wide; see repo root README.md and scripts/bump-revision.sh.

Quick start
- Read docs/EMMC-PROVISIONING-GUIDE.md for setup and usage.
- Proxmox: Use scripts/deploy-to-proxmox.sh to deploy to a Proxmox host; see docs/PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md.
- Manual host: Copy scripts from
host/to the host and install the udev rule (see the guide). - Put golden.img in
/var/lib/cm4-provisioning/(or your configured path). When a device is detected (USB or network), the dashboard asks Backup or Deploy.
