* fix(velox): trace the dead touchpad to its own connector, and repair two ↵Craig Jennings20 hours2-1/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lost todo headings The touchpad fault was an interrupt line that never fired: the device enumerated, hid-multitouch bound, and the handler sat correctly on amd_gpio pin 8, but the count stayed at zero across all 24 CPUs under active use and the i2c-HID reset timed out at every boot. A live USB reproduced it exactly, which ruled out software. The fix was the touchpad's own connector — the input-cover ribbon I reseated first fixed the phantom power button and left this untouched, and the 4-pin connector beside the silkscreen is GND and VCC only, so it could never have carried i2c. Both faults from the mainboard swap are now closed. Two task headings had been overwritten by inserts at the top of Open Work, and I recovered both verbatim from the commits that introduced them. One displaced task had ridden an archived parent into Resolved, so an open bug had been sitting outside Open Work for weeks. Filed the install placeholder passwords still live on this laptop as an [#A], graded on severity alone rather than the frequency matrix: full-disk encryption protected by a dictionary word does no work at all on a machine that travels. Corrected the ARCHSETUP_DIR line in the reinstall runbook. It carried a tilde on the right-hand side of an assignment, which zsh does not expand, so following it would have produced an ISO with the installer silently absent.
* chore: rebuild velox and file what the reinstall exposedCraig Jennings7 days1-0/+0
| | | | | | The mainboard swap left no boot entry, so I reinstalled from the archangel ISO rather than repairing a ZFS-root machine a stock USB can't read. Ran it as a disaster-recovery drill: microcode, keys, repos, and data are back, and hibernate now works end to end on a 100G encrypted swap. The tasks are most of what this bought. Reseating the input-cover ribbon is [#A] for today, because four phantom power-button presses and the dead touchpad are one loose connector, and the last one cut power below systemd. The rescued emacs-wttrin bundle rides along until it lands on its remote; the runbook stays until velox is settled.
* chore(todo): velox reinstall runbook and the tasks it surfacedCraig Jennings7 days1-0/+154
The runbook drove today's rebuild: preflight, a required salvage pass, the install, and post-install verification. It stays as the working record until velox is settled. Filed from the rebuild: reseating the input-cover ribbon, which is [#A] for tomorrow because phantom power-button presses have killed the machine four times and the last one cut power below systemd, where no setting can catch it. The rest are hibernate in the settings dial, a truenas VM for long-running sessions, the keyboard-backlight binding, and the screen-lock suite that fails 21 of 23 on ratio.
