* About

Manual steps a fresh archsetup install cannot automate — things that are
inherently interactive (pairing, account logins) or that need judgment on the
specific machine. Work through this after first boot. When a new manual step
is discovered during a machine setup, add it here rather than leaving it in a
session note; the installer's outro already points at the Proton Bridge steps,
and this file is the home for the rest.

Steps that CAN be automated don't belong here — file them as installer tasks
instead. The 2026-04-10 velox setup notes were triaged exactly that way:
microcode, radio state, and the ZFS /tmp mask went into the installer;
bluetooth pairing landed below.

* Checklist

** Pair bluetooth peripherals

Pairing is inherently interactive (scan, pick the device, confirm), so it
can't ride the installer. For a mouse (e.g. the Logi M650):

#+begin_src sh
bluetoothctl
# inside the prompt:
#   scan on          — wait for the device to appear
#   pair <MAC>
#   trust <MAC>      — trust makes it auto-reconnect at boot
#   connect <MAC>
#   scan off
#+end_src

Trusted devices reconnect on their own after reboot; if one doesn't, check
=rfkill list= first (radios should be unblocked — TLP owns radio state and
enables bluetooth/wifi at startup per =/etc/tlp.d/01-custom.conf=).

** Proton Mail Bridge (cmail)

The installer's completion message carries the steps; recorded here too so
the checklist is complete:

1. Clone claude-templates to =~/projects/claude-templates= if missing.
2. Run =protonmail-bridge --cli=, log in, then quit.
3. Run =~/code/archsetup/scripts/cmail-setup-finish.sh=.
4. First mail sync: =mbsync cmail && mu index=.
