+*** TODO [#C] Review file manager options for Wayland
+Ranger image previews don't work in foot terminal (Wayland). Ranger's kitty graphics
+method checks TERM for "kitty" string, and foot's kitty protocol implementation
+has subtle incompatibilities that cause hangs. ueberzug is X11-only.

+Tried yazi (2026-02) - theming/icon color customization was problematic.
+Revisit later when yazi matures or try lf with custom preview scripts.

+Keep ranger for DWM/X11 where ueberzug works fine.
