With I2C access granted, the helper still found nothing: every connected monitor was probed on the wrong bus. A connector has two. The `ddc` symlink points at the classic I2C line that carries EDID on HDMI and DVI. DisplayPort carries DDC/CI over the AUX channel instead, which appears as a child directory of the connector. Both exist on a DP connector and both resolve, so the wrong choice looks entirely reasonable and simply finds no monitor: this machine's DP-2 has ddc -> i2c-5, where ddcutil reports "No monitor detected", while its AUX child i2c-9 answers VCP 0x10 immediately. This is the guess the previous commit said was unverified, and it was wrong in the way that mattered. Enumerating from sysfs is still right -- it gives the connector name Hyprland uses and skips empty connectors -- but it has to prefer the AUX child and fall back to the symlink. The fixture now mirrors sysfs properly: /sys/class/drm/<connector> is a SYMLINK to the real device directory, and `find` does not follow the path it is given. A fixture built from plain directories passes whether or not the code resolves the symlink first, which is a test that agrees with itself rather than with the kernel. Verified on hardware: the Kuycon P20 reports 100%, accepts 70 and returns to 100, and the media keys move it through codex's OSD path. Both bus-selection mistakes are now caught by the contract.

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.

full keymap, and troubleshooting.
