Both tests run against the live session and capture "what it was before" so they can put it back. Neither checked that what they found was sane, so one interrupted run poisoned every run after it -- and because each subsequent run faithfully restored the bad value, the desktop stayed broken while the failure looked like an ordinary flake. displays-contract left the monitor at scale 1.25 after a failed revert. The next run recorded 1.25 as the original and restored the desktop to it. It now reads the shipped scale out of monitors.lua and refuses to run when the live display disagrees. A failure to parse that value is fatal rather than skipped, because silently skipping the check is how the laundering happened in the first place. focus-session-expiry kills and restarts the shell mid-session, so an interrupted run leaves caffeine on with nothing left to turn it off. The next `focus start` recorded "previously on", handed it back on expiry, and failed the assertion that caffeine ends off -- identically, forever, with the desktop unable to idle or lock the entire time. It now refuses to start unless caffeine is already off, which is the only state in which the test can tell "restored correctly" from "never released". Both guards name the exact command to recover with. Verified each fires on a dirty state and passes on a clean one; caffeine was found latched on this machine and has been released.

Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a user set up their Fedora system with one command.
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
install runs everything in setup/scripts/ in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
install-packages |
Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in setup/packages/ |
link-dotfiles |
Symlinks config/dot/<name> → ~/.config/<name> |
change-settings |
Copies config/copy/ over /, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to config/old/ rather than overwritten.
Desktops
Panama configures two desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through config/dot/forge/ and gsettings.
Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock, same Tokyo Night Moon palette.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Panama Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
config/dot/vicinae/ |
Raycast-style launcher, themed |
config/dot/uwsm/ |
Session environment (see the uwsm caveat in the hypr README) |
config/dot/wofi/ |
Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |
config/dot/xdg-desktop-portal/ |
Portal backend routing |

covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
