The system login is moving off the NIAuth-backed "admin" user to the local "root" user, since ni-auth no longer ships the NSS/PAM modules that resolved the admin identity.

Update the helper scripts and docs that log in to or reference the target accordingly:

  • provisioning expect tests: USER admin -> root.
  • upstream_merge test util: scp/ssh path :/home/admin -> :/home/root.
  • README.kernel.md: ssh/scp admin@$TARGET -> root@$TARGET.
