- post-install: ensure the `microcode` initramfs hook (after autodetect) so
installed systems carry CPU ucode — the live ISO embeds it, so nothing is
staged onto the target otherwise. Rebuild all presets with `mkinitcpio -P`.
- post-install: drop the nonexistent `sd-plymouth` hook branch; only the udev
`plymouth` hook exists. Set the theme then rebuild once.
- packages: add zathura + zathura-pdf-mupdf (BOS had no PDF viewer) and
libva-utils (`vainfo`); the Mesa VA-API backend now ships in `mesa` itself.
- bos-welcome: on first run, if NetworkManager isn't fully online, open nmtui
so the user connects before the first bos-update/pacman (avoids confusing DNS
errors on a fresh install). Float the bos-netsetup window like bos-welcome.

bos-update: one command that updates both BOS channels — pacman -Syu (snap-pac
snapshotted) and bakery update --all — best-effort so one failing doesn't abort
the other. Baked into the live env and skel.
Shell: match the dev laptop's zsh. Ship Powerlevel10k + zsh-autosuggestions,
zsh-history-substring-search and zsh-syntax-highlighting, sourced from the distro
packages (no oh-my-zsh framework) in the correct order, plus the dev .p10k.zsh.
Powerlevel10k is AUR-only, so it's republished to [breadway] via
packaging/powerlevel10k + a CI workflow (builds libgit2 + gitstatus from source),
same pattern as bibata / zen-browser-bin. skel/.zshrc keeps the BOS QoL aliases
and pywal palette import, with `update` aliased to bos-update.

- 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.

ttf-font-awesome resolved to woff2-font-awesome, a web-only format that
desktop apps can't render glyphs from. otf-font-awesome is the installable
desktop OTF.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add the packages a general desktop is expected to ship, chosen to stay
opinionated but average-user friendly:
- Editors: neovim (+ ripgrep, fd for a usable nvim/fzf experience)
- GUI basics: gnome-text-editor, gnome-calculator, file-roller, loupe
- Media: vlc (BOS had codecs but no player)
- Hardware: cups + cups-pk-helper + system-config-printer (enable
cups.socket in post-install), blueman, seahorse
- Platform: qt5-wayland + qt6-wayland (native Wayland for Qt apps under
the QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland we set), xdg-desktop-portal-gtk (file
dialogs/screenshare for Flatpak/Electron/Zen), flatpak

bibata-cursor-theme-bin 2.0.7-1 is now in the [breadway] repo, so add it
back to the package list and re-enable the Bibata-Modern-Ice cursor in the
Hyprland env, GTK settings, and gsettings autostart.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use Hyprland default cursor instead. All other theming changes from the
previous commit are unaffected.

Install/boot reliability:
- Use native Calamares initcpiocfg/initcpio + explicit grub-install (nvram +
--removable) in post-install; drop the flaky native bootloader/grubcfg modules.
- mount.conf: bind /proc /sys /dev (devtmpfs) /run + efivars into the chroot.
- bos-copy-kernel: stage kernel + write a stock mkinitcpio preset (replace the
archiso preset). Per-service systemctl enable (fixes NetworkManager et al.
silently not enabling due to the all-or-nothing grub-btrfs.path name).
System completeness:
- greetd + tuigreet graphical login; installed pacman.conf + working mirrorlist;
base CLI tools (nano, micro, vim, htop, …); amd/intel-ucode; tlp + hypridle
power management; systemd-timesyncd, fstrim.timer; wpa_supplicant wifi; Zen
browser (republished to the [Breadway] repo).
Desktop + theming:
- Native Lua Hyprland config (hyprland.lua) with curated standard binds; kitty
(blur) replaces foot; awww wallpaper + pywal palette (tamed to a black base
with warm accents); GTK dark mode.
- Plymouth boot splash (bos theme: logo + spinner + status) via plymouthcfg.
- Varela Round font; Calamares bread-palette sidebar (logo/black-region polish
still pending).

- packages.x86_64: add bread, breadbar, breadbox, breadcrumbs, breadpad,
bos-settings so they ship in the squashfs and reach the target via unpackfs
(no network needed; install works fully offline)
- shellprocess.conf: set timeout 1800 — Calamares' 10s default was killing
post-install.sh partway (the real cause of the empty /boot + ESP); the "-"
prefix had been masking the kill as success
- bos-live-setup: live user now boots the real BOS desktop from /etc/skel
(breadd + breadbar + breadbox) with the installer layered on top
(auto-launch + Super+I), instead of an installer-only kiosk
- post-install.sh: drop the now-redundant networked `bakery install`

unpackfs runs unsquashfs then rsync to copy the rootfs onto the target;
rsync was missing (error code 127), so add it alongside squashfs-tools.
unpackfs also copies the live filesystem verbatim, so the installed
system would inherit the archiso initramfs hooks (booting into the live
path) plus the live autologin/user/sudoers. Rework post-install.sh to run
in the target chroot as a resilient best-effort script that:
- removes the live autologin drop-in, bos-live-setup service/scripts and
the liveuser sudoers file, and locks root (sudo model; the live medium
left root passwordless),
- drops the archiso mkinitcpio config, installs the stock linux.preset and
regenerates the initramfs, then refreshes grub.cfg,
- keeps the snapper/services/dotfiles setup, with the network-dependent
bakery install made non-fatal so offline installs still complete.

Calamares' unpackfs module shells out to unsquashfs to extract
airootfs.sfs onto the target. squashfs-tools wasn't in the live package
list, so installs failed at the Finish step with "Failed to find
unsquashfs ... Bad unpackfs configuration". Add it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The profile shipped boot configs and the package list but lacked the
mkinitcpio archiso configuration, so mkarchiso built a stock initramfs
with no archiso hook. At boot the kernel honoured archisosearchuuid/
archisobasedir but nothing knew how to find and mount airootfs.sfs, so
switch-root failed and the live medium dropped to emergency mode.
Add the canonical releng pieces:
- airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/archiso.conf (HOOKS incl. archiso)
- airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset (builds initramfs-linux.img)
- mkinitcpio{,-archiso,-nfs-utils} in packages.x86_64

Calamares isn't in Arch's official repos, so BOS vendors the PKGBUILD and
publishes a built package to the [breadway] repo. All its deps are official
(kpmcore, qt6-*, yaml-cpp). Also drop the nonexistent calamares-qt6 from the
package list (calamares 3.4.x is already Qt6).

mkarchiso validation: bios.syslinux.mbr/eltorito and uefi-x64.* bootmodes
are deprecated -> use bios.syslinux + uefi.systemd-boot. syslinux must be
in the package list for the BIOS bootmode; add memtest86+/edk2-shell too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
calamares and calamares-qt6 are in Arch's extra repo; no custom PKGBUILD
needed. Update packages.x86_64 and the pacman.conf comment accordingly.

- Add .gitignore (Rust target/, ISO artifacts, editor/OS junk, secrets)

ISO structural:
- Move post-install.sh → airootfs/etc/calamares/ (it was never in the squashfs)
- Create airootfs/etc/skel/.config/ with all dotfiles (deploy path now works)
