Two more things the Framework's install surfaced.
gstreamer1-plugin-fmp4 and gstreamer1-plugin-mp4 no longer exist in any repo
this configuration enables — not Fedora 44, not RPM Fusion, not the Hyprland
COPR. Machines installed on older Fedora carry them as orphans, which is why
the list looked fine from one. dnf5 refuses a whole transaction over one
missing name, and desktop-packages runs above the Hyprland block, so two dead
codec entries cost the entire desktop.
The solopasha migration preferred panama-sudo, and pkexec with no polkit agent
to answer it does not fail — it waits forever, which held an unattended
./install hostage at the one stage that promised never to ask. The stated
reason is now reserved for a terminal someone is sitting at; a non-interactive
run takes plain sudo, which either succeeds quietly or fails fast enough for
panama-migrate to retry at the next login, as it promises.
Verified by running install-packages end to end on the machine that broke it:
Terra guard holds, desktop packages resolve, Hyprland 0.56.2 lands, and the
stage reaches its stepped-over report. All 22 setup contracts pass.

Two bugs, one story: ./install on a machine that had been half set up before
produced no Hyprland at all, and said so in one line among twenty minutes of
scrollback.
Terra bootstraps itself with --repofrompath, which defines a throwaway repo id
just long enough to install terra-release. Run it again on a machine that
already has terra-release and dnf5 refuses the whole transaction -- the
throwaway id collides with the real one. That step sits above everything, so
set -e ended the stage before a single package was considered. It is skipped
now when terra-release is already installed.
The rest is the reason one failed repo cost the desktop. Hyprland was installed
near the bottom of the stage, below a codec swap, two group updates and a
GStreamer glob, any one of which can fail for reasons outside this repository.
It now installs directly after the packages it needs and before anything
optional, and everything fragile below it runs through a soft helper that logs
and continues rather than ending the run. What was stepped over is listed at
the end, because tolerating a failure only beats aborting on it if somebody is
told.
A missing Hyprland is still fatal, and now says so in words.
Also removes the leftover disabled solopasha/hyprland COPR, which would mix
with lionheartp's the moment anyone enabled it while debugging.
Fixes the usage widget reading 1500%: the endpoint reports percentages, not
0..1 fractions. Clamped as well, and the widget answers a click now -- it set
interactive:false, which disables the mouse area its own handler needed.
