- breadbox panel edited [[contexts]] but breadbox reads [[context]]
  (serde rename mismatch) — panel was always empty and Save appended
  a dead array.
- Packages panel parsed installed.json as a flat map instead of
  unwrapping {"packages": {...}} — always showed one bogus row.
- load_doc silently produced an empty document on any parse error,
  so the next Save could clobber a config file with a syntax typo;
  now backs it up first.
- Hyprland panel opened hyprland.conf/keybinds.conf (BOS ships
  hyprland.lua) via $EDITOR with no terminal (dead click for any TUI
  editor) and defaulted to foot (BOS ships kitty). Now opens
  hyprland.lua and a keybinds cheat sheet via kitty -e $EDITOR.
- New breadsearch view: power (enabled/run-on-battery), compute
  backend (cpu/npu/rocm), index/search settings.

Boot-critical (each confirmed with a real boot/install cycle, not just
code review):

- Live ISO's liveuser shell is zsh, but Hyprland autostart was written
  to .bash_profile (never runs) — moved to .zprofile, and switched to
  start-hyprland (Hyprland's own watchdog wrapper; raw `exec Hyprland`
  is no longer the recommended launch method).
- copytoram (self-enables on most real hardware: non-optical boot +
  image < 4GiB + enough free RAM) unmounts /run/archiso/bootmnt, which
  unpackfs.conf and bos-copy-kernel both hardcoded as their source —
  broke the installer outright on real hardware, confirmed by forcing
  copytoram=y. Added a resolver step for unpackfs, and switched the
  kernel copy to /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz (part of the live
  squashfs itself, unaffected by copytoram).
- BIOS installs got no bootloader — post-install.sh only ever ran the
  UEFI grub-install path despite BOS shipping bios.syslinux. Added a
  BIOS branch with disk auto-detection.
- @snapshots/@log/@cache were never real: iso/partition.conf's
  btrfsSubvolumes key isn't part of this Calamares version's partition
  module schema at all (same class of bug as the userShell fix below —
  silently ignored). Calamares only natively creates @ and @home.
  post-install.sh now creates the three subvolumes by hand after
  unpackfs, migrates existing /var/log + /var/cache content into them
  before mounting over, and adds the fstab entries — verified end to
  end on real hardware, including grub-btrfs generating bootable
  snapshot menu entries. The unmount step in the existing snapper
  create-config dance also gained retry + lazy-unmount fallback after
  a real chroot run hit a transient busy-mount race.
- Default shell was bash instead of zsh post-install: users.conf's
  top-level `userShell` key isn't part of this Calamares version's
  users module schema either — the real key is nested (user.shell).
- graphical-session.target ships RefuseManualStart=yes (systemd
  convention), so the earlier attempt to activate it from hyprland.lua
  silently failed and breadclipd (WantedBy=graphical-session.target)
  never started. Starts breadclipd.service directly instead.
- /etc/os-release was never set (showed "Arch Linux"); live boot never
  had quiet/splash/plymouth wired in (raw kernel scroll the whole
  time) despite BOS already shipping a complete bread-logo+spinner
  plymouth theme for the installed system.

Also: generalized build-local.sh's per-service skel baking (previously
only breadd.service was hand-committed; breadbox-sync/breadmill/
breadclipd never shipped), added the four new bakery packages to
BREAD_BINS, removed the redundant cliphist/fzf clipboard pipeline in
favor of breadclip, mirrored fastfetch's bread-logo config into skel,
and fixed a stale bos-update comment.

Snapshots panel was non-functional (wrong snapper flag); breadgreet picked
the wrong session .desktop and skipped bos-session's PATH fixup; Calamares
aborted offline installs over an unnecessary packages module; snapshot
rollback silently no-op'd on BOS's pinned-subvolume layout (now points at
grub-btrfs instead); breadcrumbs was configurable but had no daemon to run
it. Also: SUPER+I double-bind, breadpaper/packages panels blocking the GTK
main thread, dead polkit rule, and a sweep of smaller drift (default
sidebar view, stale wording, missing .desktop launchers, wallpaper daemon
not recording its own default).
Round-3's autostart fix (breadpaper set instead of raw awww img) had a side
effect I missed: breadpaper set always runs real pywal against the wallpaper
image, which overwrote the curated colors.json baked into skel (#0c0c0c
black background, bread-toned browns reserved for accent slots only) with
colors genuinely extracted from bread-background.png — an all-beige photo,
so every bread-theme app (breadbar included) turned brown on first boot.

Revert autostart to plain `awww img`. Bake .cache/wal/wal (pywal's own
"last image" marker — the only thing breadpaper get/the bos-settings panel
actually read) alongside the existing colors.json instead, so the panel
still shows the real default without ever running pywal for real. pywal
only generates a genuine palette once the user picks their own wallpaper.
bos-settings: expose npu/rocm/cuda in breadsearch compute backend dropdown
All checks were successful

breadsearch v0.2.1+ ships breadmill built with --features full (npu + rocm
+ cuda in one binary via ort's load-dynamic/dlopen mode), so the earlier
CPU-only restriction here no longer applies. Hint explains what each
backend needs and how to confirm it actually took effect, since a failed
GPU EP registration falls back to CPU silently at the ONNX Runtime level.
Pulls the fix for panels turning brown/off-hue when pywal extracts a light
or muddy background from the wallpaper — background/surface now stay BOS's
fixed dark constants regardless of what the wallpaper looks like.
New panels: About, Network (Wi-Fi/Ethernet via nmcli), Sound (PipeWire
volume/device via pactl), Date & Time (timedatectl), and Clipboard
(breadclip previously had no bos-settings presence at all despite running
its own daemon).

Layout: every panel now shares one scaffold (6 views were hand-rolling their
own, inconsistently) with a centered, width-capped content column instead of
rows stretching edge-to-edge on a wide window with the control stranded far
from its label. Rows render as individual cards. Sidebar got human labels +
icons + task-based grouping (System/Personalization/Maintenance/About)
instead of raw binary names under "Apps"/"System".

New capability: a shared service_control() widget gives every bread app
backed by a systemd --user daemon (breadd, breadbox-sync, breadcrumbs,
breadmill, breadclipd) live status plus Start/Stop/Restart/View logs —
previously these panels only ever edited a TOML file and hoped the running
process picked it up. breadbar (no systemd unit) gets an equivalent: Save
now actually sends the SIGHUP its own reload mechanism needs, instead of
just claiming to in the hint text.

Fixed two real bugs surfaced while building About: CPU model string kept a
stray leading tab+colon (trim_start_matches was missing '\t'), and GPU
showed "unknown" on hardware whose lspci entry says "Display controller"
instead of "VGA compatible controller".

Local CSS patches (bos-settings/src/theme.rs) for two upstream bread-theme
gaps: suggested/destructive buttons and scale widgets don't clear Adwaita's
default background-image, so flat colour overrides were invisible; and
destructive-action red must not be pywal-derived (it can land on gold
depending on the wallpaper, indistinguishable from a primary action).
sidebar.rs and window.rs each independently hardcoded "about" as the
default selected/visible page — harmless while both literals happened to
match, but a real latent bug: changing one without the other silently
desyncs the sidebar highlight from the actually-displayed panel. Found
while capturing screenshots of every panel for a design review, where
exactly that happened. window.rs now owns DEFAULT_PAGE and passes it to
sidebar::build().
Root cause of two panels rendering full-bleed instead of the 760px column
(breadsearch, breadclip): hint()'s long unwrapped text reported an
unbounded natural width, and CONTENT_MAX_WIDTH is a floor (set_size_request),
not a cap — nothing was actually capping width. hint() and empty_state()
now bound their labels with set_max_width_chars, which stabilizes every
panel's column at a consistent width and left edge for the first time.

service_control(): added a second status line (enabled-at-boot vs
just-running), a confirm dialog on Stop for critical units (breadd — the
whole desktop's event backbone was one accidental click from stopping,
styled identically to optional helpers), and a consistent "Save only
writes the file, Restart applies it" hint on panels that have both a
service and a config file (previously only breadsearch said this, in its
own inconsistent wording).

Consistency sweep: Network's Scan button and empty-state treatment now
match the rest of the app (was full-width where every other secondary
action is auto-width; "not scanned" was a hint while "no results" was an
empty_state card — now both empty_state). breadclip gets an actual "Open
history" action instead of reading as an unfinished stub. breadbox's Save
button pulled out of a mixed row into its own row like every other panel.
Packages list rows now get the same card styling as every other row in
the app.

Panel title now shares view_scaffold's width+center treatment with the
content column, so it actually heads the column instead of sitting ~440px
to its left.

Also: switch widgets had a stray box-shadow/outline/border showing as a
faint ring around the knob, and bread-theme's switch slider color
(@on-surface) was being masked by Adwaita's default gloss background-image
— clearing it reveals the correctly-themed near-white knob against the
dark surface.
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.
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.
Fix mkinitcpio hook detection: current default is systemd-based, not udev
All checks were successful

Verified against the actual cached mkinitcpio package (41-4), not assumed:
its shipped /etc/mkinitcpio.conf template is
HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard sd-vconsole
block filesystems fsck) — there's no "udev" token at all on a stock
install anymore, systemd is the base hook instead.

This silently broke two things:
- The existing plymouth-hook insertion (`sed 's/\budev\b/\0 plymouth/'`)
  has been a no-op on every fresh install using a current mkinitcpio
  package — the boot splash was never actually getting wired into the
  initramfs, just failing quietly (the script's best-effort `|| echo WARN`
  pattern doesn't catch a sed that "succeeds" by matching nothing).
- My own new encrypt-hook insertion from the previous commit had the same
  flaw, and would have used the wrong hook regardless: `encrypt` is the
  udev-based hook, systemd-based initramfs needs `sd-encrypt` instead.

post-install.sh now detects which base hook (systemd or udev) is actually
in HOOKS once, and uses the matching hook name for both plymouth
(unaffected by the choice, just needed the right anchor to insert after)
and LUKS unlocking (encrypt vs sd-encrypt — genuinely different hooks).

Also: avoid a redundant pacman -Sy in release-iso.yml's signing step —
the job already synced repos earlier in the same container.
