Gabriel Brown e1faaf7a76 Drop the extension, and give the test suite a front door
Phase 6, the last of the fresh-install spec.

159 scripts lose their .sh: 110 contracts, 47 Vicinae commands, 2 compositor
contracts. A shebang and the executable bit already select the interpreter. The
extension only ever added something that had to stay in sync, and the rename
proved the point twice over in the space of an hour.

The spec's stated risk was Vicinae's script discovery. One script was renamed and
reloaded on its own before the other 46 followed; it came back as
scripts:panama.capture and all 47 resolve. What the probe turned up instead is
that the extension was never only a filename: Vicinae's command IDs embed it, so
every ID changed. Nothing in this repository refers to them, so nothing breaks.
The only trace is Vicinae's metadata.json, whose visited map had two Panama
entries that are now orphaned -- two commands lost their usage ranking and will
earn it back. Worth knowing before anyone renames these again on a machine that
has a keybind pointing at one.

Rewriting the references by exact filename missed two things it structurally
could not see: a name built from a variable, settings-$page.sh, and a glob,
-name '*.sh'. Both were in the contract that counts the generated commands, which
promptly reported 47 expected and 0 found. The mechanical part of a rename is the
part that looks finished.

The three subcommands. panama doctor fronts a health check that already existed
and already ran at the end of every install but could not be reached from a
terminal. panama upgrade re-runs the installer from anywhere. panama test runs
the suite, which had no entry point at all -- 121 files that were the main safety
net in this repository and were invisible in it.

Writing that runner found three tests nothing was running.
calendar_agenda_bridge_test, home_assistant_bridge_test and kdeconnect_bridge_test
are unittest suites without the executable bit, so no contract invoked them and
the first draft of the runner skipped them silently. All three pass, and have
passed unobserved for weeks. The runner collects *_test.py as well now, because a
runner with a blind spot is worse than no runner for the same reason a dependency
checker with one is: it reports PASS.

Six worktrees pruned. Each was re-checked rather than trusted to the spec's list,
and two needed it: panama-commands is not on feat/panama-commands but on
feat/gnome-tweaks-parity, and fix/panama-displays-review reads [ahead 3] -- ahead
of its remote, not of main, with every commit patch-equivalent to landed work.
roadmap-completion stays; it has five commits that are genuinely unlanded. The
branches are left alone: pruning a worktree costs nothing, deleting a branch is a
decision.

121 contracts pass.

Gabriel Brown 47f29f9fa9 Stop describing a desktop this repository does not install
Phase 5. The README advertised two desktops that coexist -- GNOME with Forge,
Dash-to-Dock, Openbar and Vitals, alongside Hyprland -- and nothing in setup/
installed or configured any of the first one. Panama configures one desktop, and
now says so.

config/dot/forge is deleted along with its entry in link-dotfiles. It was the
hedge from when the GNOME session was still the fallback and Hyprland was being
built beside it; the hedge has been paid off. Nine files, six of which were
Forge's own editor backups that should never have been committed.

Searching for the rest of GNOME found nothing else to cut, which is recorded in
the spec so nobody goes looking again. change-settings never enabled an
extension. The mentions of Dash-to-Dock, Openbar and Vitals through the shell are
comments saying what a component was modelled on -- which intellihide behaviour
the dock reproduces, where a colour came from -- and DESKTOP-PARITY.md is the
table of what replaced what. That is provenance, and it is the reason those
components behave the way they do. Vitals in services/ is Panama's own bar
service and merely shares a name with the extension it replaced.

The handoff panel list was wrong in two places. It named Wacom, which nothing
hands off to, and Region, which is a subpage of System rather than a panel. The
nine real ones are read off the call sites and the allow-list that gates them.
The spec said it, the comment on gnome-control-center repeated it, and the README
would have made it three.

One test gap turned up and is closed. The assets contract caught a directory
under config/dot/ that nothing links, but not the inverse: a name left in the
dirs array with nothing behind it, which makes link-dotfiles point ~/.config/<name>
at a path that does not exist. Deleting Forge is the exact move that introduces
that, and nothing would have failed if the array entry had been left. A dangling
symlink is worse than a missing one, because everything that looks there finds
something. Verified by putting the entry back and watching it fail.

The audit of docs/settings.md this phase asked for needed nothing: it is generated
from PreferenceSchema.qml, a contract already fails when it goes stale, and it
carries no claim about GNOME or Forge. The README gained the section it was
missing instead -- the 121 contracts under tests/ were the main safety net in this
repository and went entirely unmentioned in it.

Gabriel Brown 96e4085919 Install the desktop this repository already describes
The shell named a font, a pointer theme and a wallpaper that no package list
installed and no stage placed. It went unnoticed because this machine collected
all three under sunhat and never lost them; a fresh Fedora box would have come
up with tofu for every shell glyph, the default pointer, and no wallpaper --
while Wallpaper.qml called that missing file `shippedPath`.

The dependency contract reported PASS throughout, because it reads commands that
scripts invoke and none of these are one. The new assets contract covers what it
structurally cannot: fonts and pointer themes named in configs and gsettings, a
shipped wallpaper that must exist, commands launched from QML, and directories
nothing puts into service. Written against the broken tree first, where it found
ten faults.

Four of those were packages nobody had noticed were missing -- gnome-calendar,
podman, pipewire-utils and flatpak -- alongside gnome-control-center, which backs
fifteen rows of Panama's own Settings and is commented so it is not mistaken for
GNOME-session residue later.

Fonts turned out to need no install stage at all. Terra, which install-packages
already enables, packages every Nerd Font, so sunhat's wget-and-unzip is replaced
by five lines in a package list. The pointer theme had no such luck: it is
packaged nowhere, so it is vendored rather than downloaded from a URL that can
rot.

espanso stays undeclared. It is in no enabled repository, and building it from
source is the install method this repository is trying to stop using.
