Root cause is in archangel, not archsetup: it appends the [archzfs] experimental repo then runs =pacstrap -K= with no =pacman -Sy= refresh, so it uses the archzfs sync db baked into the Feb-2026 ISO (zfs-dkms 2.3.3) while linux-lts is pulled fresh (6.18.36). 2.3.3 doesn't build against 6.18. velox runs zfs-dkms 2.4.2 on the same kernel from the same channel, so the fix exists upstream — archangel just needs to refresh the db before pacstrap (+ a fresh ISO).

Follow-up filed: migrate =run-test-baremetal.sh= off the shell sweep, then delete the dead =validation.sh= functions (P5). +*** 2026-06-25 Thu @ Decision: port to Testinfra + expand coverage, design doc first +Reviewed against the existing harness: =scripts/testing/lib/validation.sh= already runs ~14 post-install checks (=run_all_validations=), so this isn't net-new capability — it's porting that shell validation to Testinfra/pytest for better expressiveness + reporting, then growing coverage. Craig's call (prioritizes test investment over feature speed): do the port and expand. Starting with a design doc in =docs/design/= per the task's own "design doc not yet written" note. Stale slice to drop/rescope: the X11/startx end-to-end tests (fleet is Wayland/Hyprland now). +*** 2026-06-25 Thu @ 00:54:22 -0400 P1 scaffold landed (advisory, alongside shell sweep) +Built the Testinfra harness skeleton: =scripts/testing/tests/= (conftest.py with the attribution marker + report hook + =target_user= fixture; 3 parity checks — user exists/shell, ufw enabled, dotfiles stowed+readable), =scripts/testing/lib/testinfra.sh= (=run_testinfra_validation=: ephemeral-key injection, ssh-config, pytest-over-SSH; advisory + non-fatal, =RUN_TESTINFRA= toggle), wired into run-test.sh after the shell sweep, and added =python-pytest python-pytest-testinfra= to =make deps=. Verified on host: py_compile clean, =pytest --collect-only= green in a throwaway venv (4 tests, fixtures resolve), =bash -n= + shellcheck clean, unit suite still green. Integration (the pytest sweep actually running against a VM) is unverified here — needs a =make test= run. Decisions locked: inject test key; run both through parity; full expansion (P4) in this task after the P3 cutover. +*** 2026-06-25 Thu @ 01:12:09 -0400 P2 full parity port (88 tests) +Ported the whole shell sweep to pytest: test_users (exists/shell/15 groups parametrized), test_packages (yay+functional, pacman, terminus-font, emacs+config readable, git, 5 dev tools), test_services (required enabled/active, enabled-only, timers, optional skip-if-absent, DoT drop-in, fail2ban/nmcli responds, log-cleanup cron, syncthing lingering, DNS/mDNS/docker skips), test_desktop (Hyprland tools+configs+portal+socket gated on install/compositor, DWM suckless, autologin), test_boot (grub, mkinitcpio hooks branched on zfs_root, console-font-in-initramfs, nvme gated, zfs/sanoid), test_keyring (dir 700/owner/default=login), test_archsetup (log no Error:, ≥12 state markers). conftest fixtures: target_user/home/zfs_root/has_nvme/hyprland_installed/dwm_installed/compositor_running/on_slirp. 88 tests collected, py_compile clean. Correctness fix vs the shell sweep: check =awww= not the stale =swww=. Installed python-pytest-testinfra on velox so the harness gate passes.

Root cause (pre-existing, not the Testinfra work): the 2026-06-24 sshd hardening sets =PermitRootLogin prohibit-password= + reloads sshd mid-install, and the harness SSHes as root by *password* throughout — so every op after that step got "Permission denied" and run-test.sh fataled before validations. Fix: =inject_root_key= authorizes a throwaway root key right after first SSH (before archsetup runs) and all helpers (=wait_for_ssh=/=vm_exec=/=copy_to_vm=/=copy_from_vm=/=ssh_cmd=) gained =$SSH_KEY_OPT= so they use key auth, which =prohibit-password= still allows. testinfra.sh reuses that key. Additive (password stays as fallback). bash -n + shellcheck clean.

Then built P4 expansion against the live VM (iterating in ~30s, no rebuild): test_hardening (sshd prohibit-password, sysctl printk, /etc/issue emptied, vconsole font, /efi fmask), test_config_applied (pacman ParallelDownloads/Color/multilib, makepkg MAKEFLAGS/OPTIONS, NM dns+wifi-privacy drop-ins, fail2ban jail, reflector), test_backups (=.archsetup.bak= present for pacman.conf/makepkg.conf/sudoers/mkinitcpio.conf — end-to-end proof of the backup feature). Full suite vs live VM: 95 passed / 10 skipped / 1 fail. The 1 fail = a REAL archsetup bug the tests caught: =ParallelDownloads= stayed at the Arch default 5 because the sed only matched a commented =#ParallelDownloads=, but current Arch ships it uncommented — fixed the sed to match both (=^#\?ParallelDownloads=). Also fixed a test bug (=grep -qx '[multilib]'= → =grep -Fxq=, the brackets were a regex char class). Remaining: P3 cutover (pytest authoritative) + P5 retire shell sweep, then a final fresh =make test=. +*** 2026-06-25 Thu @ 03:38:28 -0400 P3 cutover: Testinfra is now the authoritative validator +run-test.sh dropped the =run_all_validations= + =validate_all_services= shell-sweep calls; =run_testinfra_validation= now drives =TEST_PASSED= (returns pytest's rc; "couldn't run" = fail, not a silent pass). It surfaces pytest's pass/skip/fail counts through the shared =VALIDATION_*= counters and parses =testinfra-attribution.txt= into the issue arrays so =generate_issue_report= still buckets failures archsetup/base/unknown. Validated the failure path against the still-up VM: pytest rc=1, failure correctly bucketed to [archsetup]. P5 (physically delete the dead shell-sweep functions) is NOT done here — =run-test-baremetal.sh= still calls =run_all_validations=/=validate_all_services=, so deletion must wait until the bare-metal runner is migrated too (filed below).

Manual-test checklist for the real-device bt interactions filed under Manual testing and validation. -** DONE [#B] Net diagnostics: narrate every step :feature:network:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -:PROPERTIES: -:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-02 -:END: -Follow-on 2 (dotfiles =ebf24fe=, Craig's decision 2026-07-02, option 1 of the discussed policies): mutating tiers pre-check whether we're online before acting. dns-test/dns-override short-circuit with an "already online" step and touch nothing (live-verified on hotel wifi: 100 ms skip, DNS untouched); reset/bounce/nm-restart/resolved-restart proceed (reset has a legit online use — fresh MAC) but carry "(was online before ...)" in their evidence; the panel's repair confirm warns via the cached probe verdict (=probe.cached_online=, file read only); rfkill/dns-revert/tunnel-down already verify their own state, unchanged. 492 net tests / 45 suites / panel smoke green. - -Follow-on (dotfiles =50a7239=, Craig's ask 2026-07-02): the same requirements now cover every Advanced-dropdown action — all repair ids + portal narrate in the panel's step rows, =net repair= / =net portal= human-by-default (=--json= kept, added to portal), doctor's attempts render like checks, and mutating steps keep their next_action on pass (the fail/warn-only rule was dropping dns-override's revert pointer, portal-login's login click, and cleanup-unverified's manual revert). 479 net tests / 45 suites green; panel smoke shows narration in live rows. - -Shipped (dotfiles =7772427=): every diagnose step id carries a one-line narration (what it tests and why) in a viewmodel table, and both human renderers print every step — status, title, narration, evidence with timing, and the fix pointer on fail/warn — in =net doctor= and =net diagnose= alike. Bare =net diagnose= now prints the narrated report (was raw JSON; =--json= keeps the machine envelope; =net-fix= already used =--json= explicitly, the panel calls the engine in-process). A completeness test walks diag.py's step ids against the narration table so a new step can't land unnarrated. 470 net tests / 45 suites green; verified live on velox hotel wifi — both commands narrate the full probe sequence. Ratio picks it up with its queued dotfiles pull (source-imported, no restow-only step). - -Original ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02, from a real net doctor run on hotel wifi): the output isn't enough to know what's being tested, why, and whether it passed — a failing run printed only the verdict, the fix pointer, and the failing rows: - -#+begin_example -% net doctor -net doctor: fixable - DNS not resolving - -> net repair dns-test - diagnose: - fail: DNS resolution — no resolution (portal may be stalling DNS) - fail: Internet — link up but no clean internet (DNS or egress issue) -#+end_example - ** TODO [#B] Audio panel spec :feature:waybar:audio:solo: :PROPERTIES: :LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-02 :END: Work Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02) into a spec, net/bt-panel kin: an audio panel replacing the pypr audio scratchpad (Super+A) with the same functionality — change the default/active output (speaker) and input (mic), volume control for both. The one new capability: a push-to-talk mic mode for meetings — mic stays muted except while the space bar is held, releasing re-mutes. (Hold-to-talk under Wayland needs a global key grab — likely a hyprland bind pair on press/release or an evdev listener; feasibility research belongs in the spec.) Related current bindings: Super+M audio-cycle ring, Super+Shift+A mic-toggle. -** DONE [#B] Network panel: identify tunnel backends + richer connection info :feature:waybar:network: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -Shipped (dotfiles =405235f=). Identification: every Tunnels row's caption now leads with its backend — "tailscale", "WireGuard (NetworkManager)", "openvpn (NetworkManager)" (from the profile's =vpn.service-type=, resolved on the panel path only), "Proton VPN CLI" — via =viewmodel.tunnel_kind_label=. Found and fixed a real gap: NM vpn-type profiles (openvpn etc.) weren't listed at all, only wireguard type. Active tunnels now carry their device's IP4 address. Info page: the active connection's live subtitle gains IP, gateway, and DNS via =build_status(full=True)= (panel poll only — the bar's one-nmcli hot path is untouched). Live-verified on velox: all 9 tunnel rows correctly labeled (tailscale w/ tailnet + peers, 7 WireGuard NM profiles, Proton CLI), live subtitle shows IP/gw/DNS on hotel wifi. 523 net tests / 45 suites / panel smoke green. - -Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): the Tunnels rows all look alike — no way to tell which is tailscale, which is an NM wireguard/openvpn profile, and which is proton CLI without prior knowledge (e.g. when you want to bounce tailscale specifically). Second half: improve the stats under each connection — the panel is effectively a connection's info page. - -** DONE [#B] Timer: alarm am/pm input silently fails :bug:waybar:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -Fixed (dotfiles =8dd36c4=). Two root causes: =parse_alarm= only accepted 24h =HH:MM=, and =cmd_new= suppressed the ValueError, so any 12h input silently created nothing. Now accepts 24h (=14:30=, bare =14=) and all common 12h shapes (=2:30pm=, =2:30 PM=, =7:15p=, =7p=; any case, optional space, bare a/p; 12am = midnight), and input that still doesn't parse fires a fail notification instead of vanishing. 107 wtimer tests green (10 new parse cases + notify-on-error CLI tests). Manual test filed (live dialog run). - -Craig's report (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): when setting an alarm, entering am or pm in any fashion makes the timer silently fail. It should accept 24h and 12h variants — capitalization, spaces, bare "a"/"p" — all common forms. - -** DONE [#B] Timer: escape doesn't cancel the dialog flow :bug:waybar:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -Fixed (dotfiles =8dd36c4=). Root cause: =_fuzzel= ignored fuzzel's exit code, so Escape (fuzzel exits 2 on a dmenu abort — confirmed in its changelog) returned "" and the flow fed it onward to the next prompt. =_fuzzel= now returns None on any non-zero exit and =cmd_new= aborts the whole flow on None at any step (type, duration/alarm, label). Escape-at-each-step covered by CLI tests against a fake fuzzel exiting 2. Manual test filed (real keyboard Escape). - -Craig's report (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): hitting cancel via escape at the step after choosing "timer" does nothing but proceed to the next step — likely the same for the other dialog steps. - -** DONE [#B] Network panel: stream speedtest results live :feature:waybar:network:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -FIX-UP (dotfiles =60707be=, 2026-07-03, caught by Craig): the first shipped version didn't actually stream — speedtest-go buffers all phase lines to process exit when piped (per-line arrival timestamps proved it: 25s of silence, then everything at once; the original "live" verification never checked arrival timing). The stream now runs the binary under a pty, where terminal mode redraws continuously: in-flight rates tick (download climbing like a speedometer), ANSI/spinner noise is stripped, and on_update fires per changed value. CLI closes with a "final:" settled-numbers line. Re-verified with timestamps (server +1s, ping +2s, download first tick +4s, upload +19s, final +29s) AND an AT-SPI probe of the live panel that sampled the results box mid-run: ping filled at 4s, download ticking at 12s, upload at 24s, final rows + conditioned tips at the end. 529 net tests / 45 suites green. - -Shipped (dotfiles =38171e8=). =run_speedtest_stream= runs speedtest-go's plain mode, whose lines land one per completed phase (parser written against a real captured hotel-wifi run). Panel: a checklist fills in as ping → download → upload arrive, final rows at the end. =net speedtest= streams the same lines at the terminal (=--json= keeps the one-shot envelope). Bonus from the text mode: jitter (rides the Ping row) and packet loss (own row, warns >1%) — the JSON mode never reported either. The static Tip is gone; =speedtest_tips= derives guidance from the numbers (high ping >100ms, download < half of upload, <10 Mbps both ways, loss >1%), each tip naming its trigger values — that's the answer to Craig's "what criteria" question: the old tip had none, the new ones are stated rules. 509 net tests / 45 suites green; live CLI run streamed correctly and fired the asymmetric-download tip on real numbers (33 down / 76 up). Manual test filed for the in-panel run. - -Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): the speedtest only shows results at the end; typical speedtest UIs report the numbers as they come in. Stream the CLI's progress into the results box as it arrives, then the final numbers at the end. Screenshot: ~/pictures/screenshots/2026-07-02_225441.png. - -** DONE [#C] Bluetooth bar icon: gray instead of the bar's white :bug:waybar:bluetooth:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-03 Fri] -Fixed (dotfiles =27d8eda=). Root cause: the =on= state sat in the css dim group with off/absent/degraded (a deliberate "idle dims" choice that read as broken). Removed =.on= from the dim rule in all three css copies (dupre, hudson, live style.css — the theme-drift guard suite pins them together); indicator docstring updated. Live-verified: SIGUSR2 css reload, bar screenshot shows the bt glyph in the bar's resting white alongside battery/text. - -Craig's report (roam inbox, 2026-07-03): the bluetooth waybar icon renders gray, not the same white as the other bar module icons. - -** DONE [#B] Bluetooth panel: close button like the net panel :feature:waybar:bluetooth:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-03 Fri] -Shipped (dotfiles =42c93d6=): a flat circular Close button right of the tab switcher (accessible "Close" label, "Close (Esc)" tooltip), wired to window.close. The bt smoke asserts it exists AND that clicking it exits the panel (run green live). Plot twist answered in-session: the net panel had no close button either — Craig's leaner-chrome pass removed it 2026-07-01 (787b475) on the Esc-suffices theory; he asked where it went, so it was restored with the same tab-row button (=6a0aff7=, net smoke extended the same way). Both panels match again. - -Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-03): the bt panel needs a close button matching the network panel's. - -** DONE [#B] Bluetooth panel: switch placement + panel title :feature:waybar:bluetooth:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-03 Fri] -Delivered by the instrument-console rebuild (spec e73877f5, phase 5). The adapter-power switch now sits on the faceplate above every console key, and the engraved ADAPTER line is the panel's title row with the clickable discoverable chip right-justified on it. - -Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): move the bluetooth on/off switch above all the buttons. "Bluetooth" becomes the panel's title, with the on/off switch right-justified on that title row. Panel code in ~/.dotfiles =bluetooth/= (GTK4 + Blueprint, phase-2 PanelModel/presenter — see the shipped panel task in Resolved). Presenter tests + the AT-SPI smoke likely need their layout assertions updated. - -** DONE [#B] Bluetooth panel: rename devices :feature:waybar:bluetooth:solo: -CLOSED: [2026-07-03 Fri] -Delivered by the instrument-console rebuild (spec e73877f5, phase 5). =btctl.set_alias= renames through the bluez D-Bus Alias via busctl (no MAC-addressed one-shot exists; =device_path= finds the controller node from the object tree), =manage.rename= wraps it with a verify-after read, and =parse_info= reads the Alias as the display name. Each paired row carries a ✎ affordance opening a rename dialog. Live-probed the mechanism on velox before wiring it (rename + restore verified on the M650). - -Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): the panel should be able to rename a device. bluez supports per-device aliases (=bluetoothctl= device menu =set-alias=; the one-shot invocation shape needs verifying at the btctl boundary). Wire it through the engine (=bluetooth/src/bt/=) with a verify-after read, and surface a rename affordance on the device row consistent with the panel's existing patterns. - -** DONE [#B] Network panel: other network interfaces (tailscale, VPNs, wireguard) :feature:waybar:network: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -:PROPERTIES: -:SPEC_ID: 79a1075a-4b56-4f25-a861-b69f120a636a -:END: -Spec: [[file:docs/design/2026-07-02-net-panel-other-interfaces-spec.org]] (DOING — reviewed READY and decomposed 2026-07-02 evening; all four decisions were resolved same morning, claims re-verified live at review: protonvpn binary, tailscale JSON shape, seven importable wireguard configs). - -Tunnels visible and controllable in the net panel: tailscale + NM wireguard + proton-vpn-cli probes, a Tunnels group in Connections, diagnose/doctor route-ownership awareness, a bar badge when a tunnel owns the default route, archsetup operator flag + package swap, and the one-time NM import of the seven Proton configs. Origin: roam inbox capture 2026-07-02. - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 18:47:05 -0400 Shipped phase 1 — overlay probes (dotfiles 2d9d060) -=net/src/net/overlays.py=: one probe per backend, shared row shape ={kind, name, state, addr, detail, can_toggle}=. tailscale parses =status --json= (up/down/needs-login/stopped, tailnet + N/M peers online + exit node detail, first TailscaleIP); wireguard rows filter =nmcli connection show= by type with uuids for the existing up/down wrappers; proton drives the official CLI — ground truth sampled live before writing the parser: the GUI-running refusal prints to stdout and EXITS 0 (text-detected, =can_toggle false=), disconnected = "Status: Disconnected", and the CLI's account store is separate from the GTK app's (=protonvpn info= → Account 'None' — sign-in is a phase 6 migration step for Craig). =net status= gained a fast-path overlays section (tailscale + wireguard only; the python CLI's ~300ms startup stays out of the indicator poll, and an active proton tunnel surfaces as its NM wireguard row anyway), guarded so a probe crash yields =[]= not a dead indicator. 19 new tests over fake-tailscale/fake-protonvpn/fake-nmcli (45 suites green); live check on velox: tailscale row up, 5/6 peers, hot path 149ms. proton-vpn-cli 1.0.1 installed on velox (GTK app stays until phase 5). - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 19:02:45 -0400 Shipped phase 2 — panel Tunnels sub-view (dotfiles 21db05a) -Connections gained a third sub-view (Available | Saved | Tunnels — a StackSwitcher page, the natural landing for the spec's "fourth group" in this UI): rows from =overlays.collect(fast=False)= with the vpn glyph, name, and a =tunnel_caption= (state · addr · backend detail); one primary button follows the selected row via =PanelModel.tunnel_primary()= — Bring Up/Bring Down when toggleable, disabled explainers for needs-login ("Sign in first: tailscale up") and the Proton GUI-running case. =manage.tunnel_up/down= dispatch by kind (wireguard rides the existing nmcli up envelope + =connection down=; tailscale/protonvpn shell their tools into a =_tool_result= envelope carrying stderr on failure); ops run on the worker thread, rows + bar reload on land. gui grew =refresh_tunnels()= (bg, full probe set) kicked from the list load. AT-SPI smoke extended (Tunnels tab, action button, rows — POLLING for the bg load; a fixed sleep raced it and false-failed). 22 new tests (45 suites green). LIVE on velox: smoke fully green, rows eyeballed in dupre (tailscale up caption with peers count; proton app-running row), =tailscale set --operator=cjennings= applied and the user-mode =tailscale down/up= round-trip verified (Self.Online back true). Gotcha reconfirmed: stray test panels leave a windowless single-instance process — =pkill -9 -f '[n]et panel'= + wait before relaunch. - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 19:11:47 -0400 Shipped phase 3 — diagnose/doctor tunnel awareness (dotfiles 31ba056) -=overlays.default_route_owner()= classifies the default route's owner (tailscale prefix, wg/pvpn/proton/tun/tap prefixes, else the active NM connection's type — imports can name a wireguard device anything). diag's route step went three-way: overlay owner = informational pass row ("internet flows through the tailscale tunnel tailscale0"), other physical link = the old multi-homing warn. When the HTTP probe fails while a tunnel owns the route, a new "tunnel" edge row LEADS the evidence and the classifier returns fixable/action tunnel-down (the deferred-vpn verdict is retired — it was look-don't-touch, and it never caught tailscale at all since NM lists it unmanaged; an NM VPN that doesn't own the route now falls through to normal classification instead of being blamed). =repair_tunnel_down= dispatches by owner (tailscale CLI / protonvpn CLI for pvpn-named devs / nmcli connection down via active-connection lookup), verifies route ownership actually moved, and registered in ACTIONS so Get Me Online drives it. fake-ip gained FAKE_IP_DEFAULT_DEV_SEQ (head-first line consume, the UP_RC_SEQ idiom) so tests watch the owner change across the verify. 11 new tests, 2 old deferred-vpn pins rewritten to the new contract; 45 suites green; live read-only diagnose on velox clean (wlan owns the route — no tunnel rows, as designed). - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 19:14:58 -0400 Shipped phase 4 — bar tunnel badge (dotfiles b4010bf) -=net status= carries =tunnel_route= ({dev, kind} via =overlays.default_route_owner=, exception-guarded like the overlays list, present on the no-device path too). The indicator appends a small nf-md-vpn badge after the state glyph, emits =["<state>", "tunnel"]= as a waybar class list (string class unchanged when no tunnel), and the tooltip names the owner ("Tunnel: default route via tailscale0 (tailscale)"). No css edit — presence is the signal, themes can hook the class later, and the waybar/style.css drift test stays untouched. 4 new tests; StatusHarness gained fake-ip so the machine's real route can't leak into assertions (462 net tests, 45 suites green). Live payload on velox verified badge-free (wlp170s0 owns the route — correct); a badge render awaits the first real tunnel-owned route (phase 6's wg import or a tailscale exit node). - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 21:56:00 -0400 Shipped phase 5 — installer proton CLI swap + tailscale operator (archsetup 0389790); GTK app retired live on velox -The feat commit landed at 19:16 (the session died before this close-out): installer enables tailscaled with =--now= and grants =tailscale set --operator= to the primary user (brief retry while the daemon's socket comes up), proton-vpn-cli replaces proton-vpn-gtk-app, VM asserts the vpn stack + the retirement + the OperatorUser pref (format verified against a live daemon). Live velox application finished 21:55: the =protonvpn-app --start-minimized= exec-once removed (dotfiles b5c8442 — nothing replaces it, the CLI is on-demand from the panel), the running app killed, =pacman -Rns proton-vpn-gtk-app= (proton-vpn-daemon stays — separate package the CLI uses). CLI verified unblocked: =protonvpn status= → "Status: Disconnected", =protonvpn info= → Account 'None' (sign-in is Craig's step, filed under Manual testing and validation). - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 21:57:00 -0400 Shipped phase 6 — wireguard import script + velox migration (scripts/import-wireguard-configs.sh) -The script stages each config through a =wgpvpn.conf= temp copy (NM's import name must be a valid <=15-char interface name; several config names are longer), renames by the UUID parsed from the import output (never by the transient name, so a stray same-named connection can't be hit), forces =autoconnect no= (full-tunnel AllowedIPs 0.0.0.0/0 must not arm itself at boot), skips already-imported names, and refuses to run past a stale =wgpvpn= connection (an earlier run that died between import and rename — it still has autoconnect on). =tests/import-wireguard-configs/=: 10 cases over a fake nmcli; writing them caught a real bug (under =set -e= the grep-for-UUID pipeline aborted before the error message printed). shellcheck clean; 11 unit suites green. Velox migration verified: the crashed session had already run the import, so tonight's run exercised the skip path live — all 7 connections confirmed wireguard type, autoconnect no, iface wgpvpn, no stale leftovers; =net status= overlays show tailscale + all 7 rows. Ratio runs the script on its trip (rides the archsetup pull). - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 21:58:00 -0400 Test surface complete across the phases -Probe suites over fake tailscale/nmcli/protonvpn (19, phase 1), panel-model Tunnels coverage (22, phase 2), diag overlay-ownership cases (11, phase 3), badge suite (4, phase 4) — all in dotfiles; VM assertions for phase 5 in archsetup 0389790; the import-script suite (10, phase 6) closes the set. - -** CANCELLED [#B] File-manager swallow pattern :feature:hyprland: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -:PROPERTIES: -:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-02 -:END: -Reassigned to .emacs.d 2026-07-02 (handoff: =~/.emacs.d/inbox/2026-07-02-2231-from-archsetup-dirvish-popup-swallow-handoff.org=). The "file manager" is the dirvish popup (Super+F, an Emacs frame), not nautilus — so the fix is elisp in dirvish's external-open path (=cj/xdg-open=): spawn the handler directly with =start-process=, hide the popup frame, restore it from the process sentinel, notify on non-zero exit. The spec drafted here first ([[file:docs/design/2026-07-02-file-manager-swallow-spec.org]], now CANCELLED) records the feasibility finding that stays useful: gio/xdg-open launches double-fork, so no PID-ancestry approach (Hyprland native swallow included) can ever connect viewer to launcher. - -When the file manager launches another app, it should hide to a special workspace (the "swallow" pattern) and return when that process ends, rather than vanishing. Today it disappears with no signal of whether it's coming back, so the user can't tell success from failure — they should quit explicitly instead. Origin: roam inbox capture. - -*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 22:20:00 -0400 Feasibility ground truth: Hyprland native swallow ruled out -=misc:enable_swallow= would be the whole feature in two config lines, but it matches by PID ancestry, and nautilus's launch path (GLib =g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri=) orphans the handler — reproduced live on velox with a python-gi launcher: feh came up with PPID 1 while the launcher was still running. The spec's design is therefore an event-listener daemon (socket2 =openwindow=/=closewindow= while nautilus is active), the touchpad-auto shape. Handlers sampled: pdf → zathura, image → feh (X11 — flagged as a side task), video → mpv, text → emacsclient (exempt candidate, decision 2). - -** DONE [#C] Open meeting links in the browser instead of the Zoom app :feature: -CLOSED: [2026-07-02 Thu] -Shipped 2026-07-02, mechanism per Craig ("the Linux zoom app is really terrible — one less dependency"): a =zoommtg://= URL handler, and the native app retired outright. =zoom-web= (dotfiles 187414a, 10 tests) registers as the xdg default for x-scheme-handler/zoommtg via =zoom-web.desktop=; Zoom's launch-page bounce rewrites deterministically to =https://<host>/wc/join/<confno>?pwd=…= in the default browser (subdomain hosts preserved, tracking params dropped, start action mapped, malformed URIs notify + exit 2). The registration landed in the stowed mimeapps.list, so it ships with dotfiles. Zoom uninstalled from velox (=pacman -Rns=), its windowrules removed from hyprland.conf, =aur_install zoom= dropped from archsetup, and the VM retired-package assertion now covers blueman + zoom. Known limit, accepted: a host who disabled join-from-browser blocks the web client — that meeting needs the native app installed ad hoc. Ratio trip: =pacman -Rns zoom= + the pull brings the handler; run =xdg-mime default zoom-web.desktop x-scheme-handler/zoommtg= if the stowed mimeapps.list doesn't take effect. - ** TODO [#B] Scrolling/Carousel layout: frame fit + wrap-around :hyprland: :PROPERTIES: :LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-06-13 @@ -196,179 +59,6 @@ Refiled from the archsetup task audit (2026-06-28), landed via ~/.dotfiles/inbox - Check dotfiles for uninstalled packages and remove orphaned configs. - Verify all stowed files are actually used. -** DONE [#B] Network panel redesign — no terminals, verify-everything, full failure coverage :feature:waybar:network: -CLOSED: [2026-07-03 Fri] -:PROPERTIES: -:LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-07-02 -:END: -Delivered by the instrument-console rebuild (spec e73877f5). The three locked decisions all landed: no terminals (the single-screen console renders every action and result in the output well — net-popup is gone), the passwordless privileged path (the net-priv helper + narrow NOPASSWD sudoers, shipped earlier and carried forward), and verify-every-action (arm-to-fire mutations plus doctor's re-probe). The failure-mode catalog below is the diagnose/repair contract, built out across the net-diagnostics tasks and this rebuild's DOCTOR path; the catalog stays here as the standing completeness reference for that path. - -Major evolution of the shipped =custom/net= module ([[file:docs/design/2026-06-29-waybar-network-module-spec.org]]). -Reverses the spec's "privileged tiers run in a net-popup terminal" decision. Origin: -design conversation 2026-06-30. - -*** Locked decisions -- *No terminals anywhere in the module.* Delete =net-popup= entirely. Every action and - every result renders in the panel. -- *Passwordless privileged path (the enabler).* A single root-owned helper runs net's - specific privileged commands (rfkill unblock, nmcli modify/up, networking off/on, - systemctl restart NetworkManager/systemd-resolved, resolvectl dns/revert, DoT toggle), - installed by archsetup with a narrow NOPASSWD sudoers rule scoped to that helper only - (never blanket mv/systemctl). =repair.py= calls =sudo <helper> <verb>=. This supersedes - and absorbs the earlier [#C] "Passwordless DoT toggle" follow-up. Without it an in-panel - worker thread can't prompt for a password, so this gates the whole no-terminal goal. -- *Verify every action.* Every mutating op confirms its effect before reporting success - (doctor already re-probes; generalize so each repair, connect, forget, add, and DNS - override re-checks and surfaces pass/fail in the panel). -- *Detect + respond to every failure mode below* (auto-fix where we can, else report the - helpful text), including the edge cases. - -*** Navigation (confirmed) -- Top tabs: =Connections= | =Diagnostics= | =Performance=. -- Connections: saved + in-range list, connect / add / forget. -- Diagnostics: sub-row =Diagnose= | =Get Me Online= | =Advanced=; shared area below shows - diagnose items AND streams repair progress (replacing the terminal). =Advanced= reveals - the individual repair buttons, renamed with tooltips describing each. -- Performance: Speedtest (+ live throughput later). - -*** Failure-mode catalog — detect / correct-or-report (the completeness backbone) -Organized by the connectivity stack, bottom-up. "Fix" = auto-correct + verify; "Report" = -the in-panel text when there's no safe auto-fix.

Found and fixed a real gap: NM vpn-type profiles (openvpn etc.) weren't listed at all, only wireguard type. Active tunnels now carry their device's IP4 address.

The stream now runs the binary under a pty, where terminal mode redraws continuously: in-flight rates tick (download climbing like a speedometer), ANSI/spinner noise is stripped, and on_update fires per changed value. CLI closes with a "final:" settled-numbers line. Re-verified with timestamps (server +1s, ping +2s, download first tick +4s, upload +19s, final +29s) AND an AT-SPI probe of the live panel that sampled the results box mid-run: ping filled at 4s, download ticking at 12s, upload at 24s, final rows + conditioned tips at the end. 529 net tests / 45 suites green. + +Shipped (dotfiles =38171e8=). =run_speedtest_stream= runs speedtest-go's plain mode, whose lines land one per completed phase (parser written against a real captured hotel-wifi run).

Bonus from the text mode: jitter (rides the Ping row) and packet loss (own row, warns >1%) — the JSON mode never reported either. The static Tip is gone; =speedtest_tips= derives guidance from the numbers (high ping >100ms, download < half of upload, <10 Mbps both ways, loss >1%), each tip naming its trigger values — that's the answer to Craig's "what criteria" question: the old tip had none, the new ones are stated rules. 509 net tests / 45 suites green; live CLI run streamed correctly and fired the asymmetric-download tip on real numbers (33 down / 76 up). Manual test filed for the in-panel run. + +Craig's ask (roam inbox, 2026-07-02): the speedtest only shows results at the end; typical speedtest UIs report the numbers as they come in.

Removed =.on= from the dim rule in all three css copies (dupre, hudson, live style.css — the theme-drift guard suite pins them together); indicator docstring updated.

Plot twist answered in-session: the net panel had no close button either — Craig's leaner-chrome pass removed it 2026-07-01 (787b475) on the Esc-suffices theory; he asked where it went, so it was restored with the same tab-row button (=6a0aff7=, net smoke extended the same way).

When the HTTP probe fails while a tunnel owns the route, a new "tunnel" edge row LEADS the evidence and the classifier returns fixable/action tunnel-down (the deferred-vpn verdict is retired — it was look-don't-touch, and it never caught tailscale at all since NM lists it unmanaged; an NM VPN that doesn't own the route now falls through to normal classification instead of being blamed). =repair_tunnel_down= dispatches by owner (tailscale CLI / protonvpn CLI for pvpn-named devs / nmcli connection down via active-connection lookup), verifies route ownership actually moved, and registered in ACTIONS so Get Me Online drives it. fake-ip gained FAKE_IP_DEFAULT_DEV_SEQ (head-first line consume, the UP_RC_SEQ idiom) so tests watch the owner change across the verify. 11 new tests, 2 old deferred-vpn pins rewritten to the new contract; 45 suites green; live read-only diagnose on velox clean (wlan owns the route — no tunnel rows, as designed). + +*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 19:14:58 -0400 Shipped phase 4 — bar tunnel badge (dotfiles b4010bf) +=net status= carries =tunnel_route= ({dev, kind} via =overlays.default_route_owner=, exception-guarded like the overlays list, present on the no-device path too). The indicator appends a small nf-md-vpn badge after the state glyph, emits =["<state>", "tunnel"]= as a waybar class list (string class unchanged when no tunnel), and the tooltip names the owner ("Tunnel: default route via tailscale0 (tailscale)"). No css edit — presence is the signal, themes can hook the class later, and the waybar/style.css drift test stays untouched. 4 new tests; StatusHarness gained fake-ip so the machine's real route can't leak into assertions (462 net tests, 45 suites green). Live payload on velox verified badge-free (wlp170s0 owns the route — correct); a badge render awaits the first real tunnel-owned route (phase 6's wg import or a tailscale exit node). + +*** 2026-07-02 Thu @ 21:56:00 -0400 Shipped phase 5 — installer proton CLI swap + tailscale operator (archsetup 0389790); GTK app retired live on velox +The feat commit landed at 19:16 (the session died before this close-out): installer enables tailscaled with =--now= and grants =tailscale set --operator= to the primary user (brief retry while the daemon's socket comes up), proton-vpn-cli replaces proton-vpn-gtk-app, VM asserts the vpn stack + the retirement + the OperatorUser pref (format verified against a live daemon).

The "file manager" is the dirvish popup (Super+F, an Emacs frame), not nautilus — so the fix is elisp in dirvish's external-open path (=cj/xdg-open=): spawn the handler directly with =start-process=, hide the popup frame, restore it from the process sentinel, notify on non-zero exit. The spec drafted here first ([[file:docs/design/2026-07-02-file-manager-swallow-spec.org]], now CANCELLED) records the feasibility finding that stays useful: gio/xdg-open launches double-fork, so no PID-ancestry approach (Hyprland native swallow included) can ever connect viewer to launcher. + +When the file manager launches another app, it should hide to a special workspace (the "swallow" pattern) and return when that process ends, rather than vanishing.

The registration landed in the stowed mimeapps.list, so it ships with dotfiles. Zoom uninstalled from velox (=pacman -Rns=), its windowrules removed from hyprland.conf, =aur_install zoom= dropped from archsetup, and the VM retired-package assertion now covers blueman + zoom.
