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. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NvgBuSWB5sE43yWmg21ozj |

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.

Let a machine say what it is for, and give Firefox its face back
Phase 4: the optional application categories, and the Firefox chrome. Everything Panama installed until now was what every machine gets, which meant a work laptop acquired emulators and a desktop that wanted Steam had to be told about it by hand. The interview now offers the categories in setup/packages/extras/ as a checklist -- gaming, creative, communication, virtualization -- and nothing is preselected, because a default here installs applications nobody chose on a machine whose owner answered a question they thought was about something else. A category is one file, and a category mixes both package managers because the applications do: Steam is in RPM Fusion, Slack publishes only a flatpak. So a bare line is a dnf package and a flatpak: line is a Flathub ID, and one file holds the whole answer rather than splitting each category across two. The menu is read from the directory rather than written down, so adding a category is adding a file. Every name in all four was resolved against the actual repositories before being written down, and the contract re-resolves them -- the point of admitting applications one at a time is that they stay installable, and a typo here fails on somebody else's machine, not this one. Firefox is declared, and its chrome is Edge-Frfox, vendored into config/firefox. sunhat carried that theme with no license and no attribution; it is MIT, and now it says so and says whose it is. It is the only piece of Panama's configuration that does not go to a path this repository chooses. Firefox owns the profile directory, names it with a random salt, and does not create one until the browser has been run -- so link-dotfiles finds or creates a profile and links both halves into it. Both, or neither works: chrome/ is the CSS and user.js sets the preference that makes Firefox read chrome/ at all, without which the theme is a directory of dead files. Two assumptions there were wrong, and the contract exists for both. Firefox has moved to the XDG directories -- the profile root is ~/.config/mozilla/firefox on this build, not ~/.mozilla/firefox, and writing to the wrong one themes nothing and says nothing about it. And -CreateProfile turns out to be non-interactive, so a fresh machine gets the theme on the first install rather than the second. The contract runs link-dotfiles for real against a throwaway home with no profile in it and looks at what came out; it was checked by pointing the search at the legacy path only and watching it fail. Also: the enrolment/enrollment spellings from the last commit are corrected. This repository is US-spelled everywhere else -- color 1131 times against colour never -- and consistency in prose is worth as much as it is in code.

Install the driver, enrol the key, and still never ask twice
Phase 3 of the fresh-install spec: the parts of a run that depend on what the machine actually is. NVIDIA, Secure Boot, Fedora's preinstalled extras, firmware. Two of these looked like they would force a compromise, and neither did. sunhat opened an editor in the middle of its run so grub could be hand-corrected, and that single step is why walking away from an install did not work. The step existed to delete duplicated kernel arguments -- and grubby replaces an argument that already exists rather than appending a second copy, so the duplicates cannot accumulate and there is nothing to correct. The editor was load-bearing for a problem that a different tool does not have. MOK enrolment needs a password now and the same password at the next boot's blue screen, which reads like a prompt that has to happen mid-run. mokutil has --generate-hash and --hash-file for exactly this: the interview asks, hashes it on the spot, and records only the hash. The plaintext never reaches the answers file, the environment, or a command line, and the stage runs without asking. The stage runs last rather than fourth as the spec's table had it. The constraint was always "late" and fourth of eight is not late: enrolment arms a prompt for the next boot and firmware may want a reboot, so a machine that reboots out of this stage should already be completely configured. Every question names what was found -- the card, the packages actually installed -- and is not asked at all on a machine it would do nothing to. sunhat's debloat list no longer describes Fedora 44: totem became showtime and LibreOffice is not preinstalled, so the list is curated and a package that is not installed is never passed to dnf, which is what lets it outlive a release. This stage cannot be verified by running it. It installs a proprietary driver and queues a Secure Boot enrolment, and this machine is an AMD desktop. So every privileged command is stood in on PATH and the contract asserts which answer led to which call: that no answers means no commands, that a failed driver install is not followed by arguments and services for a driver that is not there, that the hash reaches mokutil through a file and never a command line, and that removal is offered only for packages that are installed. The contract was checked by breaking the stage three ways and confirming it caught each. It does not verify that akmod-nvidia builds, and says so where a reader would otherwise assume it did. The README's stage table listed three of seven stages; the interview and identity work never reached it. Corrected rather than extended, since a table that lists three of seven is worse than one that lists none. The Desktops section still describes a GNOME session nothing installs -- that is phase 5.

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. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Q84axqUE5inJhf5Jz9CFy1 |

Write down what a fresh install actually lacks
Panama installs a desktop it does not fully provision. The shell names fonts nothing installs, a cursor theme nothing installs, and a wallpaper that does not exist; five packages that settings pages depend on are declared nowhere. None of it shows here, because this machine accumulated those pieces under sunhat and never lost them. The spec covers closing that gap, moving every question the installer needs to the front of the run, and porting the parts of sunhat that still matter.
