The terminal UI was an interesting feature, but it did not receive enough community support and was rarely used in day-to-day workflows. This PR removes the TUI to make the machine-a-tron codebase easier to maintain and reduce its dependency footprint.

Walkthrough

Machine-a-Tron removes terminal UI support, TUI logging, and related APIs. Runtime shutdown now uses signals. DPU IP accessors replace host-detail parsing. Obsolete interface, TUI, and single-BMC mock settings are removed from configurations and documentation.

Changes

Machine-a-Tron cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove TUI runtime integration
crates/machine-a-tron/src/*, crates/machine-a-tron/Cargo.toml, Cargo.toml
Removes TUI modules, dependencies, attachment APIs, update channels, logging layers, and public TUI exports. Runtime shutdown uses SIGTERM and SIGINT handling.
Update state and IP access contracts
crates/machine-a-tron/src/dpu_machine.rs, crates/machine-a-tron/src/machine_state_machine.rs, crates/api-integration-tests/tests/lib.rs

Document the new public accessors.

DpuMachineHandle::bmc_ip and DpuMachineHandle::machine_ip are new public declarations. Add Rust documentation that states they return the last observed address and can return None before DHCP state is available.

Proposed change
+    /// Returns the last observed BMC IPv4 address.
+    ///
+    /// Returns `None` until BMC DHCP completes.
     pub fn bmc_ip(&self) -> Option<Ipv4Addr> {
         self.0.live_state.read().unwrap().bmc_ip
     }

+    /// Returns the last observed machine IPv4 address.
+    ///
+    /// Returns `None` until machine DHCP completes.
     pub fn machine_ip(&self) -> Option<Ipv4Addr> {
         self.0.live_state.read().unwrap().machine_ip
     }

As per coding guidelines, “Document every new public declaration.”

Join or cancel the signal task.

If MachineATron::run returns before receiving a signal, the detached task remains pending while shutdown continues. Retain its JoinHandle, abort it after mat.run(...), and await it.
