Recovery is reboot → GRUB “snapshots” submenu. snapper rollback
does not change what GRUB boots (rootflags=subvol=@). Same wording
in README Recovery and docs/hardware.md.
Bins live in /usr/local, so a later useradd no longer gets
~/.local/bin copies. systemctl --global enable the bakery
--user units (bake writes /etc/systemd/user/*.wants/, and
post-install + live-setup run the same enable) so first
login starts breadd, breadbox-sync, breadclipd, breadcrumbs,
and breadmill. Stock useradd -m copies skel (Hyprland +
bakery state). Rollback is still grub-btrfs.
BOS opts in to bakery's system prefix so desktop apps live on @
and ride snapper/grub-btrfs snapshots. The builder home stays
~/.local; build-local.sh copies bins, share/data, and user units
onto the image. Per-user installed.json and the index cache stay
in skel. Recovery is still grub-btrfs, not snapper rollback.
Live-ISO bos-rescue finds the installed btrfs @ and ESP, then offers
arch-chroot and/or the same GRUB NVRAM + --removable sequence as
post-install.sh. Recovery is grub-btrfs or this reinstall — GRUB pins
rootflags=subvol=@.
bos-first-boot runs once after the first graphical login: NVIDIA offer
file + notify (no driver install), VM-without-GL notify, HiDPI hint
file (never rewrites monitors.json).
Re-enable the Calamares packages module as a refresh-only step with
skip_if_no_internet and ignore_update_db_error so offline installs
cannot abort on pacman -Sy.
Point os-release at the bos repo and issues; drop Arch privacy terms.
Take a best-effort snapper pre snapshot before pacman and bakery.
Pin current stable bakery versions so CI fetches the same bits per commit.
Autostart breadpaper/breadshot listen behind command -v.
Document signed-repo setup and Mesa/NVIDIA/grub-btrfs recovery.
The tagged ISO workflow fetched bos-settings/src/Cargo.toml from the
dev branch (404 after the Tauri split) and cargo-built bread-theme.
bread-theme 0.7.1 is already on the stable index. Stage required bins,
units, breadhelp content, and desktop/license files from the
minisign-verified index instead; optional bread-emit/module-host skip
until bread publishes them. Fail the bake if a required bin is missing.
Derive BREAD_BINS from iso/bread-lockfile.toml and fail the bake when a
listed binary or breadhelp content is missing. Bake bakery share files
and drop breadcast from the copied installed.json. Add WebKitGTK 4.1 for
Tauri bos-settings, remove rustup, and rewrite README/DESIGN to match the
ISO+skel tree.
bos-settings moves to git.breadway.dev/Breadway/bos-settings (full history
preserved via git-filter-repo) so its release cadence is decoupled from
BOS's own. breadhelp takes its place as this repo's workspace member: a
GTK4 onboarding/help center replacing the old bos-welcome/bos-keybinds
bash scripts with searchable guides, an interactive keybind viewer
(sourced from the new keybinds.toml, not parsed out of hyprland.lua or
hardcoded), a troubleshooting wizard with one-click fixes, and a proper
first-run tour. bos-netcheck extracts bos-welcome's network-check half,
which still needs to run every login independent of breadhelp's own
first-run gating.
hyprland.lua's keybinds/settings/monitors/autostart are now JSON-driven
(binds.json/settings.json/monitors.json/autostart.json) with every
loader pcall-wrapped and falling back to hardcoded defaults per field on
bad or missing config, so bread* apps (bos-settings' new editors, and
breadhelp's keybind viewer) can read/write this config without ever
being able to leave the compositor unable to start.
CI's package.yml now builds breadhelp instead of bos-settings on tag
push; bos-settings needs its own equivalent workflow in its new repo
(not yet set up).
Continues reducing terminal-reliance for graphical system control. Five
new panels, plus three GUI apps shipped for things better served by an
existing dedicated tool than reimplemented in bos-settings
(gnome-disk-utility, gufw, mission-center).
- Power: battery status/health, brightness, charge-limit thresholds where
the hardware exposes them, TLP profile shown read-only by design (no
Balanced/Performance switcher — TLP auto-selects by power source, and
power-profiles-daemon isn't installed because it conflicts with tlp).
- Firewall: ufw enable/disable, add/remove rules, view active rules.
ufw's own status check requires root (confirmed against the installed
script — not just changes, reads too), so unlike every other panel this
one does NOT query state in build(): every view is constructed eagerly
at app launch, and an unconditional privileged read here would mean a
polkit prompt on every single bos-settings open. Starts blank with a
"Status not loaded" placeholder; state loads only on an explicit Refresh
click, with a guard so refresh's own set_active() doesn't loop back into
triggering ufw enable/disable.
- Users: add/remove accounts, change passwords. All through pkexec on a
background thread. Can't remove the account you're currently running as.
- AUR: search via yay. Installing deliberately opens a terminal instead of
a silent --noconfirm install — yay's interactive PKGBUILD diff review and
sudo prompt are the actual safety mechanism against a malicious AUR
package, not a formality worth automating away.
- Firmware: fwupd device list + updates, same stream-output-then-refresh
pattern as Packages.
packages.x86_64: gnome-disk-utility, gufw, mission-center for disk/firewall/
task-manager GUIs that don't need reinventing inside bos-settings.
yay (yay-bin, AUR-only like calamares/bibata) republished to [breadway] via
the same PKGBUILD + Forgejo workflow pattern, so users can reach the wider
AUR beyond bakery's bread ecosystem.
Disk encryption: Calamares' partition module already has LUKS support
enabled by default, but the checkbox led nowhere — no cryptsetup on the
live/target image, no mkinitcpio encrypt hook, no GRUB cryptodisk wiring.
An encrypted install would partition fine and then never boot. Added
cryptsetup, pinned luksGeneration to luks1 (GRUB doesn't support LUKS2 +
Argon2id), and post-install.sh now detects an encrypted root (lsblk TYPE
== crypt) and conditionally adds the encrypt hook + GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK +
--modules="cryptodisk luks luks2" on both grub-install passes. No effect on
a normal unencrypted install.
Secure Boot: self-signed via sbctl (shipped in packages.x86_64). BOS can't
ship a Microsoft-signed shim without going through Microsoft's own paid
UEFI CA process, so post-install.sh enrolls BOS's own keys automatically
only when the firmware is already in Setup Mode (sbctl status --json),
signs the kernel/bootloader, and leaves it alone otherwise — sbctl's own
pacman hook re-signs on every future kernel/GRUB update, no further
wiring needed.
Release signing: generated a dedicated Ed25519 "BOS Release Signing" key
(not reused from anything else), stored as the GPG_PRIVATE_KEY Forgejo
Actions secret. release-iso.yml now generates SHA256SUMS and a detached
SHA256SUMS.asc signature alongside every ISO upload; public key committed
at KEYS.asc with verification instructions in the README.
README updated: fixed a stale "greetd + tuigreet" line (breadgreet since
round 3), documented yay/encryption/secure-boot/verification.
README: add a bread-ecosystem feature matrix, keyboard-shortcut reference,
a Known Limitations section (NVIDIA/Mesa, VM GPU accel, Secure Boot, btrfs
assumption), and a Recovery guide (snapshot rollback + GRUB/EFI repair from
the live ISO).
scripts/smoke-test.sh: read-only post-install validator — btrfs subvolumes,
snapper config, enabled services, bread bins on PATH, bos-settings, default
dotfiles, and the GRUB EFI artifacts. Exits non-zero on any failure.
- libadwaita apps (nautilus, gnome-text-editor) rendered light because
gsettings-desktop-schemas + dconf were missing, so the color-scheme
prefer-dark autostart silently no-op'd. Add both packages.
- Replace Hyprland's slow default animations with the reference laptop's
bezier curves + per-leaf speeds (hl.curve + hl.animation).
- kitty background_opacity 0.88 -> 0.6 to match the laptop; drop the
macOS-only background_blur line (Hyprland supplies the blur).
- Add README.md documenting the actual image, build, and test flow.
