- 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.

Best practice for the long-running bread daemon: ship an enabled user unit in
skel (~/.config/systemd/user/breadd.service + default.target.wants symlink)
instead of a bare Hyprland exec-once. Gives crash-restart, journald logging
(journalctl --user -u breadd), and proper lifecycle.
- ExecStart uses %h so it works for any account created from skel (not a
hardcoded home).
- RuntimeDirectoryPreserve=yes so restarting breadd doesn't wipe the shared
theme.css that bread-theme writes into /run/user/<uid>/bread.
- hyprland.lua: replace the `breadd` exec-once with a Wayland-env import
(dbus-update-activation-environment) + `systemctl --user restart breadd`, so
the service — which autostarts at login before Hyprland exists — picks up
HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE and can drive the compositor.

- Add bread-theme to the binaries baked into /etc/skel from bakery state.
- Run `bread-theme generate` first in the Hyprland autostart so the shared
GUI stylesheet ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bread/theme.css) exists before breadbar /
breadbox / bos-settings paint (they also live-reload it on change).

New users get a one-time welcome window on first boot (self-gating marker,
skipped for the live/installer user) and a keybind cheatsheet on SUPER+/.
Also bind BOS Settings to SUPER+, (it had no launcher bind). Both popups
are floated/centred via window rules. Addresses the onboarding/
discoverability gap from external review.

- 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.

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).

Current Hyprland no longer accepts dwindle:pseudotile (it's a dispatcher now),
which threw a non-fatal config-error banner on both the live and installed
desktop. preserve_split is still valid and kept.

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)
- Add iso/pacman.conf with [breadway] custom repo stub for calamares + bakery
- Add Calamares branding component (bos/branding.desc + show.qml)
- Add missing unpackfs.conf and mount.conf modules
- Add live-session autostart: getty autologin → bash_profile → Hyprland → calamares
- Add polkit rule for wheel-group snapper rollback (pkexec path)
- Remove wlroots from packages (bundled with Hyprland); add bakery to package list
- Fix modules-search path in settings.conf
Dotfiles:
- Rename dotfiles/hyprland/ → dotfiles/hypr/ (Hyprland reads ~/.config/hypr/)
- Fix deprecated shadow options: drop_shadow/shadow_range → shadow { } block
bos-settings Rust:
- Replace glib::MainContext::channel (removed in glib 0.19) with async_channel
- Stream bakery update output line-by-line instead of buffering all at once
- Fix zombie processes: per-package update buttons now wait() in a thread
- Fix sidebar/stack mismatch at startup: select snapshots row to match default view
- Replace deprecated MessageDialog with AlertDialog (GTK 4.10+) throughout
- Use pkexec for snapper rollback so polkit handles privilege escalation
- Add confirmation dialog before delete snapshot (was missing, rollback had one)
- Add refresh button + repopulate after delete in snapshots view
- Add "Saved" / "Error: …" status label to every config view save button
- Add "Remove" buttons to breadbox contexts and breadcrumbs profiles
- Remove hardcoded model string from breadpad defaults
- Drop unused state mod; fix config_dir HOME fallback; fix zombie in editor launches
