Brings in panama-doctor (a 25-check diagnostic with fixture-backed
contracts), a Health service, a System Health page replacing Startup &
Services, and a bar indicator that stays absent until something is
actually degraded. All seven of its contracts pass on the merge.
Three things needed resolving rather than accepting:
The branch predates the debranding, so its user-visible strings still
named the product -- "Panama desktop is healthy", "Restart Panama",
"Panama tools". Rewritten to say the same thing without the name, which
is what the rest of the app now does.
Its Fedora hand-off card was a single button calling openGnomePanel
("network") under a subtitle naming five subjects. Main had already
replaced that with a row per subject, each opening the panel that owns
it, so those rows are ported into HealthPage instead. Printers and
online accounts stay on Network & Devices with the rest of the network
hardware.
That broke its own assertion, which matched the literal
openGnomePanel("network") string. Rewritten rather than reverted: it now
checks the boundary card exists and that every panel named in HealthPage
is one openGnomePanel actually allows, since a name outside the
allow-list opens nothing at all. Verified it catches a plausible-looking
wrong name.
SettingsShell and SettingsSidebar conflicted because both sides added
pages; resolved as the union, keeping its System Health page and live
footer alongside main's Mouse & Touchpad, Privacy & Security, Region &
Language and Online Accounts.

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, 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 |
Start here: config/dot/hypr/README.md — it
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
