+"""Test clone_user_repos: the two user repos are cloned with full history.
+
+archsetup and dotfiles are not build directories. They are the two repos I
+actively develop in on every machine this installer builds, so a shallow clone
+is wrong for both. Velox came back from its 2026-08-13 rebuild with 7 commits
+of history in each instead of 851, and nothing about the tree said so.
+
+The quiet failure is what makes this worth a test rather than a one-line fix.
+`git log -- <path>` against a shallow clone does not error; it answers "no
+commits". So a credential-history check run on that machine reported five
+sensitive files absent from history and exited clean, when the real answer was
+that the clone could not see the history they live in. A security question came
+back falsely reassuring. Everything else it breaks — blame, bisect, any
+archaeology past the graft point — is merely annoying by comparison.
+
+The AUR build clones are a different case and stay shallow: they are throwaway
+build trees, cloned to run `make install` and then discarded, where history has
+no value and the download cost is real. So this suite asserts both halves —
+full history for the two user repos, and depth still pinned on the AUR path —
+because a fix applied with too broad a brush would regress the build clones
+without failing any test that only looked at the user repos.
+
+Method: sed-extract clone_user_repos from the real `archsetup`, fake git /
+mkdir / chown / display / error_warn / error_fatal, and read back the git
+command lines the function issued.

+"""Pin the packages the dotfiles assume are present.
+
+Three packages are not optional extras: something the dotfiles ship depends
+on each one, and when the package is missing the dependent silently does the
+wrong thing rather than failing.
+
+- libreoffice-fresh :: common/.config/mimeapps.list maps presentations,
+ documents and spreadsheets to libreoffice-impress/-writer/-calc. With the
+ package absent those .desktop files don't exist, so xdg-mime falls through
+ to the next application claiming the type — on a machine with the winvm
+ dotfiles that is powerpoint.desktop, which boots a Windows VM to open a
+ deck (2026-09-18).
+- imv :: gui-open --image execs imv, and without it every agent-side image
+ render fails with "required application is unavailable" (2026-09-18).
+- git-lfs :: a repo tracking globs in LFS fails every checkout and merge
+ with "smudge filter lfs failed" (2026-09-20).
+
+All three were installed before the 2026-08-13 rebuild and absent after it,
+which is the regression this pins: they are dependencies of shipped defaults,
+so the installer has to declare them rather than leave them to whatever a
+machine happens to carry.
+
+Method mirrors test_required_software: sed-extract supplemental_software from
+the real `archsetup`, stub pacman_install as a recorder, run it, and assert
+against what it actually invoked. Running the function beats matching its
+source text, because the property under test is "every machine installs this"
+and only a run resolves the conditionals that could make that false. The
+function is run once per desktop environment for the same reason.
+
+Run from repo root:

+"""Test mask_fwupd_passim — keep fwupd's LAN metadata daemon off.
+
+fwupd pulls in passim, a daemon that shares firmware metadata with other
+machines on the LAN by listening publicly on 0.0.0.0:27500. Any fwupdmgr
+run D-Bus-activates it, and because the unit is static (no [Install]
+section) `systemctl disable` is a no-op: it came back on velox the next
+time fwupdmgr ran (2026-09-12). Masking is what holds, and it is how
+ratio has carried it since 2026-07-21.
+
+Method: sed-extract mask_fwupd_passim from the real `archsetup`; fake
+run_task (minus error_warn, so the failure test sees the function's own
+return path) and systemctl, and assert on the call.
