archangel/TODO.org, branch v0.8

Restore file ownership after build and rename todo.org

2026-01-21T06:49:53+00:00

- Add chown step to build.sh to restore ownership to invoking user after mkarchiso completes (fixes root-owned out/work/profile dirs) - Rename TODO.org to todo.org (lowercase) - Add todo item for post-install reboot countdown timer

Add Avahi mDNS to installed systems for network discovery

2026-01-20T05:33:30+00:00

Install avahi and nss-mdns packages, enable avahi-daemon service. Matches archsetup's implementation for consistency. After installation, systems are accessible as .local (e.g., ratio.local, framework.local) for easier SSH access.

Add TODO for Avahi on installed systems, mark live ISO Avahi as done

2026-01-20T04:04:15+00:00

- Live ISO Avahi implemented in 906cc6f (archzfs.local works) - Added TODO to implement Avahi on installed systems - Update session context

Add zfssnapshot and zfsrollback scripts to ISO

2026-01-19T14:39:28+00:00

Copied from archsetup to make these tools available on the live ISO for rescue scenarios and post-install management. zfssnapshot: - Creates recursive snapshots across all pools - Timestamps with descriptive labels (YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_description) - Integrates with grub-zfs-snap for boot menu updates zfsrollback: - Interactive fzf-based snapshot selection - Two modes: single dataset or all matching datasets - Safety warnings showing what will be destroyed - Special genesis rollback warning

Add TODO for zfsrollback and zfssnapshot scripts

2026-01-19T06:50:13+00:00

These ZFS snapshot management scripts belong in archzfs ISO rather than archsetup because: - Rescue scenarios: rollback from live USB when system won't boot - Standalone utility: works on any ZFS system - ISO always available: no need to install archsetup first Includes example implementations using fzf for interactive selection.

Restore Arch Wiki to Priority A, add reader solution

2026-01-19T06:34:10+00:00

When networking is broken, that's exactly when you need docs most. Added arch-wiki-lite (AUR) as the recommended reader: - wiki-search for CLI searching - Displays articles as plain text in terminal - Added to AUR packages list Also documented Option 2: arch-wiki-docs + w3m with wrapper script.

Rebalance TODO priorities based on review

2026-01-19T06:32:02+00:00

Priority changes: - Arch Wiki offline: A→B (adds 500MB, network usually available) - mkosi research: B→C (current solution works, added detailed analysis) - Avahi discoverability: B→C (nice to have, not critical) - GRUB ISO boot: B→C (advanced feature) - Build logging: B→C (simple but low urgency) Removed vague "Check for methods to abstract" task. Added comprehensive mkosi vs mkarchiso comparison with verdict: keep mkarchiso for now, mkosi useful for future VM images and UKI boot.

Expand AUR package TODO with implementation plan and package list

2026-01-19T06:23:01+00:00

Detailed implementation plan for building AUR packages into local repo: - Build script infrastructure - Pacman.conf integration - Installation integration AUR packages organized by priority: - Essential: downgrade, yay, informant - ZFS Management: sanoid, syncoid, zrepl - System Maintenance: rate-mirrors, paru, pacman-cleanup-hook, arch-audit - Recovery Tools: ventoy-bin, topgrade, mkinitcpio-firmware - Nice to Have: zfs-auto-snapshot, btop, duf, dust, procs

Add ideas from arch-linux-live-cd-iso-with-zfs project

2026-01-19T06:03:31+00:00

Reviewed https://github.com/stevleibelt/arch-linux-live-cd-iso-with-zfs and extracted valuable ideas for our project: Priority A: - ZFSBootMenu integration (alternative boot manager for ZFS) Priority B: - Docker/Podman container support for builds - Arch Linux Archive snapshot support (version pinning) - Build logging with tee Priority C: - Multi-variant ISO builds (kernel/DKMS options) - Pre-clone tools and documentation - Environment file configuration (.env pattern) - Dry-run mode for build.sh

Add TODOs for Arch Wiki offline docs and mkosi research
