+#+TITLE: Instrument-Console Panel Rebuild — Build Summary
+#+DATE: 2026-07-03
+#+AUTHOR: Craig Jennings & Claude
+
+Findings summary for the no-approvals speedrun that rebuilt the net and
+bluetooth waybar panels as single-screen instrument consoles. Spec:
+[[file:../docs/design/2026-07-03-instrument-console-panels-spec.org][2026-07-03-instrument-console-panels-spec.org]] (ID e73877f5, IMPLEMENTED).
+Normative design: [[file:2026-07-03-instrument-console-panels-prototype.html][2026-07-03-instrument-console-panels-prototype.html]]
+(Craig approved through five prototype iterations).
+
+* What shipped
+
+Both panels went from a tabbed Blueprint UI (Connections / Diagnostics /
+Performance style tabs) to one always-visible instrument console: a faceplate
+with a state lamp and word, engraved section labels, scrolled lamp rows for
+the live entities, a row of console keys, cairo dial meters, and an output
+well that streams diagnostics in place. No terminals, no tabs.
+
+Six phases, each committed and pushed on landing:
+
+| Phase | Commit (dotfiles) | What landed |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+| 1 | (spec + task wiring) | Spec authored, parent task wired with :SPEC_ID: |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+| 2 | 81ec9c3 | Net GTK-free presenter layer + engine verbs |
+| | | (52 new tests) |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+| 3+4 | 800ef60 | Net view rebuilt as the console + all |
+| | | interactions wired |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+| 5a | 5318b34 | Bt GTK-free layer + engine gaps (47 new tests) |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+| 5b | 66f03d9 | Bt view rebuilt as the console + all |
+| | | interactions wired |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+| 6 | f4e688e | Dead-code removal, build close-out |
+|-------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------|
+
+* Engine gaps closed
+
+The console needed capabilities the tabbed panels never had:
+
+- Net: =manage.wifi_radio= (nmcli radio wifi on/off), =manage.device_up=
+ (ethernet takes the route), =sysio.link_speed_mbps= (/sys wired speed),
+ =connections.ethernet_devices=, and a hidden-SSID flag on =manage.add=.
+- Bt: =btctl.set_alias= renames a device through the bluez D-Bus Alias via
+ busctl (there is no MAC-addressed one-shot for set-alias, so =device_path=
+ discovers the controller node from the object tree), =manage.rename= wraps
+ it with a verify-after read, =parse_info= reads the Alias as the display
+ name, and =doctor= grew =on_report= / =on_begin= callbacks so its checks and
+ repairs stream into the output well.
+
+* Tests added
+
+- Phase 2: 52 new net presenter tests (581 net total at the time).
+- Phase 5a: 47 new bt console tests.
+- Both panels' AT-SPI smokes rewritten to drive the single-screen console and
+ anchor on stable engraved labels + the panel-unique console key (net DOCTOR,
+ bt SCAN) rather than the flaky count labels.
+- Full suite through phase 6: 46 suites, zero failures.
+
+* Live-verify results (velox, 2026-07-03)
+
+- =make test=: 46 suites green, zero FAILED/ERROR.
+- =make test-panel= (net): green end to end — faceplate NET·01 / ONLINE, one
+ Close, DOCTOR + SPEED TEST keys, engraved CHANNEL/CONSOLE/NETWORKS/TUNNELS,
+ live route line, tunnel rows (tailscale + 7 WireGuard NM), DOCTOR streamed
+ real diagnose steps, output-well dismiss, panel closed on Close.
+- =make test-panel-bt= (bt): green end to end — faceplate BT·01 / POWERED, one
+ Close, adapter-power switch, DOCTOR + SCAN keys, engraved
+ ADAPTER/CONSOLE/NEARBY/PAIRED, discoverable chip, battery gauge slots, DOCTOR
+ streamed real checks, output-well dismiss, panel closed on Close.
+- Both =gui.py= files are byte-identical to their screenshot-verified commits
+ (net 800ef60, bt 66f03d9), so the phase-3/4/5 screenshots (render matching
+ the prototype) still stand — phase 6 touched no view code.
+
+* Phase-6 dead code removed (dotfiles f4e688e)
+
+The console builds its widget tree in Python, so the old Gtk.Template page
+classes and Blueprint sources had no caller:
+
+- =net/src/net/pages.py=, =bluetooth/src/bt/pages.py=
+- both panels' =ui/= dirs (=window_content=, =diagnostics_page=,
+ =connections_page= / =devices_page= — the =.blp= sources and compiled =.ui=)
+- the =make ui= Blueprint-compile target and its =.PHONY= entry (no =.blp=
+ files remain to compile)
+- a stale =gui.py / pages.py= mention in the bt =viewmodel.py= docstring
+
+Confirmed nothing imported the removed modules before deleting; 46 suites and
+both smokes stayed green after.
+
+* Folded tasks closed with this build
+
+- Network panel redesign — no terminals, verify-everything, full failure
+ coverage (its failure-mode catalog stays as the standing diagnose/repair
+ completeness reference).
+- Bluetooth panel: switch placement + panel title.
+- Bluetooth panel: rename devices.
+
+* Deferrals
+
+Interactions that mutate Craig's real bluetooth state can't be auto-driven —
+they need a human at the keyboard with real devices. Filed as a manual-test
+checklist under "Manual testing and validation" in todo.org: pair-passkey
+flow, rename a real device, connect/disconnect, forget, discoverable toggle,
+power toggle, and the LOW BATT badge with a real sub-15% device. Net's
+in-panel speedtest and timer-dialog manual tests were already pending there.
