During bootstrap, `onboard --install-daemon` starts the gateway daemon immediately. The gateway's startup guard requires `gateway.mode=local` but this was only set *after* onboard completed, causing the daemon to block with "Gateway start blocked: set gateway.mode=local" and enter a crash loop. The web UI then fails with "Gateway WebSocket connection failed". Move `ensureGatewayModeLocal()` and `ensureGatewayPort()` to run before the onboard command so the config is in place when the daemon first starts.
