The deploycfg carries the literal 'null', which went into the profile as
a password hash, so the installed root account reported a usable
password instead of a locked one. 15 substitutes '!' for this; the sed
delimiter has to move off '!' to carry it.
The default Etc/UTC is not in the tzdata list agama validates against,
so the load failed and the install fell through to agama defaults and
still reported completion. Normalize it and halt if the load fails.
While curl and agama download are happy with the CA bundle, zypper was not. Have pre.sh properly set up the CA certs.
Additionally, indicate the install subdirectory of the repository to agama via it's cmdline conf.
