## 2.9. UFW Hardening
* **Description**: Defaults to `deny incoming` and (optionally) `deny outgoing`; automatically opens only whitelisted ports.
+* **Primordial SSH exception**: `--primordial-ssh ` adds an outgoing-only UFW TCP exception for a bootstrap/recovery SSH
+ port when the live system's UFW outgoing policy is `deny`. It adds no incoming firewall rule and does not replace
+ `--ssh-port`. If the requested port already matches an existing outgoing SSH exception, the current hook still emits the
+ requested labelled rule because this repository has no separate UFW rule deduplication layer.
* **Rationale**: Implements a default-deny firewall, reducing lateral movement and data exfiltration risks immediately after
deployment.
