#+TITLE: Undeclared ratio packages — include/ignore evidence
#+AUTHOR: Craig Jennings
#+DATE: 2026-07-14

Evidence sweep for the "Review undeclared ratio packages for installer inclusion" task. Source: =make package-diff= run on ratio 2026-07-14 (64 explicit packages installed but not declared; the June run saw 62). Per package: pacman's description, what requires it (dependency vs standalone), and the install date. The include/ignore decisions are Craig's; the buckets below carry the default lean.

Rerun =make package-diff= after any include pass to confirm the count drops.

** Candidates to declare (30)
