feat(anaconda): add desktop environment selection spoke for FWS 7daca57714

Implement a new Anaconda spoke that allows users to select their preferred desktop environment (CLI, GNOME, KDE Plasma, Hyprland, or XFCE) during installation.

The spoke:
- Displays radio buttons for five desktop choices with CLI as the default
- Persists the selection to /tmp/fws-desktop for the kickstart %post script
- Supports revisiting the spoke and resuming previous selections
- Includes a GTK UI definition file (glade) with translatable labels
- Integrates as a SoftwareCategory spoke in the Anaconda installer

The implementation leverages Anaconda's runtime spoke discovery mechanism via the airootfs overlay, avoiding the need to rebuild the anaconda package.

fix(anaconda): improve desktop environment setup and system configuration ff98a1e186

- Fix XFCE display manager: replace lightdm-gtk-greeter with sddm for consistency
- Add SDDM numlock initialization for KDE, XFCE, and Hyprland
- Configure X11 keyboard layout from kickstart or locale via langtable to ensure correct SDDM login keyboard
- Enable wheel group sudo access and add all human users to wheel group
- Apply FWS branding to os-release, lsb-release, and GRUB configuration
- Remove inappropriate live system motd file
- Fix DNS resolution: configure systemd-resolved stub resolver with NetworkManager integration to prevent "Limited Connectivity" on first boot
- Reformat case statement for better readability

feat(hyprland): add hyprland configuration with keyboard layout injection and vm compatibility 99006b9ede

Add Hyprland desktop environment support with:

- New hyprland.conf template with keyboard layout placeholders (__KB_LAYOUT__ and __KB_VARIANT__) that get injected during installation
- Hyprland wrapper script (/usr/local/bin/fws-hyprland) that detects virtual machines and forces software rendering to prevent compositor crashes on virtual GPUs (VMware vmwgfx, VirtualBox)
- Automatic configuration deployment to /etc/skel and existing user home directories
- Refactored keyboard layout detection logic (moved to section 3bis) to support both X11/SDDM and Hyprland configurations
- Added locale generation during installation to ensure proper language support

Keyboard layout is now derived from either kickstart configuration or system locale using langtable, providing consistent keyboard behavior across all desktop environments.

feat(releng): add hardware detection and driver setup script 0b0fcd8ce4

Add fws-setup-hardware script that automatically detects and installs:
- GPU drivers (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) based on lspci output
- Hypervisor guest tools (VMware, VirtualBox, QEMU, Hyper-V)
- Audio/mic/headset stack (PipeWire), Bluetooth (BlueZ), containers (Podman)
- Optional desktop stack when non-CLI desktop is selected: Steam, Wine, VR support (Monado/OpenXR), and winboat-bin

The script is integrated into the Anaconda kickstart post-installation phase and is non-blocking to prevent installation failures from missing packages or network issues.

Also update profiledef.sh to set correct permissions (755) for the new script.

feat(xinitrc): add anaconda installer improvements and splash screen ee0082baa1

Add several improvements to the liveinst installer workflow:

- Expose archiso squashfs at /run/rootfsbase where Anaconda expects to find
  the Live OS image, fixing SourceSetupError crashes
- Display immediate splash screen with zenity during Anaconda startup (2-4 min
  wait time) to provide user feedback and prevent perceived hangs
- Wrap liveinst with dbus-run-session to provide D-Bus session bus, fixing
  GLib.GError crashes from missing ScreenSaver service
- Add hardware summary log output to debug information collection

These changes address three crash scenarios identified during testing and
improve user experience during installer initialization.

chore: remove pycache file 8b7af60239

chore(baseline): add file permissions for selinux and hardware setup scripts aa9cb13648

Add executable permissions for load_policy, setstatus, fws-setup-hardware, and fws-hypr-keys scripts in the baseline profile configuration.

feat(hyprland): expand hyprland config with keybindings, animations, and window rules 68850f0ed2

Add comprehensive keybinding descriptions using bindd/binde for keyboard shortcut display, implement Catppuccin Mocha color scheme with blue gradient borders, enable animations with custom bezier curve, configure touchpad settings, add blur/shadow configuration for VM compatibility, implement scratchpad support, add screenshot and multimedia key bindings with PipeWire/playerctl integration, and define window floating rules.

Keybindings now match i3/sway FWS configuration with French descriptions that automatically appear in fws-hypr-keys shortcut viewer. Configuration includes multi-screen support, workspace navigation (1-10), window resizing, and various utility bindings.

refactor(anaconda): clarify payload mechanism and enhance desktop environment configurations d8e67fe861

Update interactive-defaults.ks kickstart file with:

- Clarified documentation on LiveOS payload detection and mounting via /run/rootfsbase bind-mount instead of direct liveimg directive
- Added comprehensive comments explaining why liveimg directive is intentionally omitted and how anaconda --liveinst handles payload creation
- Enhanced XFCE and Hyprland package sets with noto-fonts for proper TTF rendering and additional tools (thunar, hyprlock, grim, slurp, wl-clipboard, playerctl)
- Implemented SDDM theme configuration with FWS theme support and accent colors per desktop environment (teal for XFCE, Catppuccin blue for Hyprland, Breeze blue for KDE)
- Added GDM (GNOME) configuration via dconf with welcome banner, clock enhancements, and numlock settings
- Expanded Waybar configuration installation for Hyprland with config and style files
- Added comprehensive documentation for greeter customization and Hyprland VM compatibility
- Included details about FWS recap spoke (standalone GUI summary screen) replacing zenity-based pre-install approach

chore(releng): add file permissions for fws-hypr-keys script 35f77ba33d

feat(syslinux): add safe graphics boot option with nomodeset kernel parameter 5e66f99816

Add a new boot menu entry for FWS without kernel mode setting (KMS) to provide a fallback option for systems where KMS causes issues. This entry uses the nomodeset kernel parameter to force the framebuffer to VESA/EFI mode, which is slower but more reliable for problematic GPU drivers and hypervisors like VMware.

fix(python-meh): fix python 3.11 compatibility by replacing removed gettext.ldgettext 4249282052

Replace gettext.ldgettext with gettext.dgettext in Anaconda exception handler
since ldgettext was removed in Python 3.11. Without this fix, the exception
handler crashes with AttributeError when trying to display errors, resulting
in raw tracebacks instead of the meh dialog in both GUI and TUI modes.

Also clean up stale __pycache__ directories from previous extractions and
add validation to ensure ldgettext is completely removed.

fix(setup-aur.sh)!: use explicit package list instead of glob for install and publish 7fe54d0791

Change publish_to_repo() to accept explicit file list via variadic arguments
instead of a directory glob. This prevents re-publishing stale .pkg files
from previous builds that may still exist in BUILD_DIR.

Update build_or_skip() to get the actual list of packages produced by the
current makepkg invocation using --packagelist, filter for .pkg.tar.* files,
verify they exist on disk, and pass only those to pacman -U and publish_to_repo().

This fixes issues where:
- After pkgrel bumps, old .pkg files would cause pacman to receive duplicate
  package names ("repeated target" error)
- Stale packages would be republished over the purge in local-repo
- Optional debug packages would cause errors when not produced

BREAKING CHANGE: publish_to_repo() function signature changed from publish_to_repo(name, directory) to publish_to_repo(name, file1, file2, ...) - callers must pass explicit file paths instead of a directory path

feat(fws): add recap spoke for pre-installation summary 9df1f444bc

Add FWSRecapSpoke, a standalone spoke that displays a comprehensive summary of user configuration choices and detected hardware before installation begins. The spoke intercepts the installation flow between the SummaryHub and ProgressSpoke, allowing users to review and modify their choices before any disk writes occur.

Features:
- Displays user-selected configuration (language, keyboard, timezone, users, partitioning, desktop, hostname)
- Shows detected hardware (virtualization, GPUs, disks, network status)
- Provides installation flow overview and warnings about automatic partitioning
- Implements back navigation to return to the hub for modifications
- Never marks as completed to ensure proper flow control in anaconda's action queue

feat(anaconda): add fws recap glade ui definition 7aa1276e2c

Add new Glade UI definition file for the FWS recap (summary before installation) spoke. This defines the AnacondaStandaloneWindow layout with a scrollable text view to display installation summary information.

feat(releng): add fws-hypr-keys script to display hyprland keyboard shortcuts a28a64310a

Add a new Python utility script that displays actual Hyprland keyboard shortcuts from hyprctl binds output. The script:

- Queries hyprctl binds to get loaded key bindings from the compositor
- Formats keybinds with human-readable modifiers and key labels (French localization)
- Displays descriptions from bindd config entries or falls back to dispatcher actions
- Opens results in wofi dmenu for incremental search and filtering
- Handles special keys like mouse buttons, arrow keys, and common special keys
- Deduplicates repeated bindings (e.g., from resize actions)

No additional dependencies required beyond python3 and wofi (already in FWS + Hyprland packages).

feat(waybar): add waybar configuration for hyprland desktop environment 23df7656e5

Add waybar panel configuration with modules for workspaces, window title, clock, volume, network, CPU, and memory monitoring. Configured for top panel layout with French localization support.

feat(waybar): add waybar style configuration for fws theme 5d6d1c6db8

Add CSS stylesheet for Waybar that matches the FWS theme, SDDM appearance, and Hyprland borders. Includes styling for workspaces, clock, custom key help button, and system status modules with Catppuccin blue accent color (#89b4fa).

feat(sddm): add fws login theme for kde xfce and hyprland 24370461ea

Introduce a new SDDM theme "fws" designed for FWS with support for KDE, XFCE, and Hyprland desktop environments.

The theme is built using pure QtQuick and QtQuick.Controls (Basic style) with no additional dependencies beyond what SDDM already requires. It includes:

- Main.qml: Custom login screen with clock, date, user/password fields, session selector, and power controls
- metadata.desktop: Theme metadata and configuration
- theme.conf: Default configuration with customizable accent color and gradient colors

The design uses a dark theme with accent colors and supports capslock detection and login error handling.

feat(releng): add uefi boot entry with nomodeset graphics option be0844b50b

Add a new UEFI boot loader entry for Arch Linux installation medium with the nomodeset kernel parameter. This provides a fallback boot option for systems with GPU or hypervisor drivers that have issues with KMS (kernel mode setting), allowing the system to fall back to VESA/EFI framebuffer graphics mode which is slower but more reliable.

fix(releng): add udev event timeout to archiso linux boot entry 7c11f53520

Add udev.event_timeout=45 kernel parameter to the UEFI boot entry for the archiso linux image. This timeout helps prevent boot delays caused by udev waiting for device events to complete.

fix(efiboot): add udev event timeout to nomodeset boot entry 218b0707a4

Add udev.event_timeout=45 parameter to the safe graphics boot option to prevent timeout issues during device initialization on systems with slower hardware or complex device trees.

fix(releng): add udev event timeout to speech boot entry 053998d1c0

Add udev.event_timeout=45 parameter to the accessibility boot entry to prevent timeout issues during device initialization on systems with slower hardware or many devices.

fix(syslinux): add udev event timeout to all boot options 754b6e8802

Add udev.event_timeout=45 parameter to all APPEND kernel boot options in the syslinux configuration to prevent udev event timeout issues during boot on systems with slow device initialization.

feat(fws-hypr-keys): add optional style support and adjust wofi dimensions d6212deaa9

- Import os module to check for style file existence
- Add _STYLE constant pointing to wofi-keys.css stylesheet
- Increase wofi window dimensions from 780x560 to 820x600
- Conditionally apply custom style if the stylesheet exists
- Refactor wofi command construction for better readability

feat(fws-setup-hardware): add brightnessctl and blueman to base stack 0ab90857e5

Add brightnessctl for brightness control without root via logind,
consumed by XF86MonBrightness* keys and waybar backlight module.

Add blueman as graphical Bluetooth manager for desktop environments
that don't provide their own (KDE and GNOME have built-in managers).
Blueman provides system tray integration and pairing assistant.

Update comments to clarify the purpose of these new packages.

chore(hyprland): add startup services and brightness/blueman window rules 8224a24d02

feat(wofi-style): add wofi application menu styling with catppuccin mocha theme 3a5efffc61

Add a new CSS stylesheet for wofi (application launcher menu triggered with Super+R) that implements the Catppuccin Mocha blue color scheme. The stylesheet includes styling for the window, input field, menu entries, and selection states with rounded corners and appropriate contrast ratios.

chore(baseline): update installer preparation message in french 6e59e1d4c4

Change the estimated time message from '2 à 4 minutes' to 'Encore une à deux minutes' to provide more accurate timing information to users during the FWS installer preparation phase.

chore(packages): add fws-dnd package to baseline x86_64 configuration cef3b291d1

Add the fws-dnd package (D&D 5e Manager for dice, characters, grimoire, sessions, and combat) to the baseline x86_64 packages list under the FWS section.

chore(hyprland): add blueman applet and remove steam keybinding 96e5721ad8

Add blueman-applet to the exec-once commands for bluetooth management.
Remove the Steam launcher keybinding (SUPER+KP_Multiply) from the configuration.

chore(releng): add pipewire and bluetooth packages to desktop environments 43ecf7f54f

Add PipeWire audio stack (pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber, pavucontrol)
and Bluetooth support (bluez, bluez-utils, blueman) to xfce and hyprland
package lists to ensure they are installed alongside the desktop environment.

Enable bluetooth.service at installation time for hyprland to have Bluetooth
ready at first boot. Update comments to reflect the new guaranteed installation
of audio and Bluetooth components as part of the desktop environment transaction.

chore(releng): add fws-dnd package to x86_64 configuration 81dfac3762

Add fws-dnd (D&D 5e manager for dice, characters, grimoire, sessions, and combat) to the releng packages.x86_64 configuration.

chore(releng): remove fws-dnd package from x86_64 build c56db3de04

Remove the fws-dnd package and its associated comment from the x86_64 package list. This package is no longer needed for the release engineering build.

feat(anaconda): add customized summary glade ui file e20523470f

Add a customized version of anaconda's summary.glade UI definition file to the baseline airootfs configuration. This file is based on anaconda 45.8 but with the "We won't touch your disks..." label removed from the bottom of the hub, allowing the overlay to mask the original package file without requiring an anaconda rebuild.

chore(baseline): add anaconda summary hub glade override in xinitrc 2aaf1cbfd5

Add logic to override the anaconda summary hub glade file at live boot time. The custom glade file is stored in /usr/local/share/fws and copied to /usr/share/anaconda/ui/hubs/summary.glade during X initialization.

This workaround is necessary because mkarchiso applies the airootfs overlay before pacstrap, which prevents pacman from installing anaconda over existing files. The file is therefore delivered to /usr/local/share/fws and overlaid at boot when the live overlay is writable.

chore(baseline): remove anaconda summary glade file overlay dd71664b9e

Delete the customized summary.glade file that was overlaying the anaconda package file. This file was previously used to hide the "We won't touch your disks…" message at the bottom of the installation summary hub.

feat(anaconda): add modified anaconda summary hub glade template a09278b63f

Add anaconda-summary-hub.glade file, a customized copy of anaconda 45.8's summary.glade without the "We won't touch your disks…" disclaimer label at the bottom of the hub.

This file is placed in a neutral path (usr/local/share/fws/) because mkarchiso applies the airootfs before pacstrap. Placing it at the anaconda package path would cause pacman to refuse installation due to filesystem conflicts. The live environment's .xinitrc copies this file to /usr/share/anaconda/ui/hubs/summary.glade during boot.

fix(hyprland): only launch blueman-applet if bluetooth adapter exists 4d123b6f5d

Prevent blueman-applet from showing connection errors in virtual machines where no Bluetooth adapter is present. The applet now checks for the existence of a Bluetooth adapter in /sys/class/bluetooth before launching.

This change adds a conditional check that gracefully skips the applet initialization when no hardware is available, improving user experience in VM environments.

refactor(waybar): add format-no-controller for bluetooth module 75113980f0

Configure waybar bluetooth module to use an empty format when no bluetooth controller is detected, improving UI consistency.

refactor(hyprland): disable splash rendering in hyprland configuration d0e431329d

Add disable_splash_rendering option to misc section to hide the startup splash message at the bottom of the screen.

feat(fws_desktop): add i3 desktop option and update hyprland description 8e2e74a227

Add i3 desktop environment option with X11 and VR compatibility note.
Update hyprland description to clarify Wayland protocol and VR incompatibility.
Both descriptions now include information about included applications (Firefox, SDDM).

feat(fws_desktop): add i3 window manager option with VR compatibility note 9f46b9bb1b

Add i3 X11 window manager as a desktop environment option with explicit VR compatibility information. Update Hyprland label to clarify it uses Wayland and is not VR compatible. Adjust position indices for subsequent radio button options.

chore(baseline): add fws-vr-setup executable permission 4a598c854a

fix(fws-setup-hardware): add blueman bluetooth manager support for i3 desktop 95eb6c15e0

Include blueman in the base packages for i3 desktop environment, alongside hyprland and xfce, to provide graphical bluetooth management and pairing assistant for i3 users.

feat(releng): add i3 window manager desktop environment configuration 5f108c607b

Add i3 window manager as a selectable desktop environment option in the anaconda kickstart configuration. Includes:

- i3-wm with essential packages (i3status, i3lock, rofi, kitty, etc.)
- X11 server requirement for VR compatibility (SteamVR incompatible with Wayland)
- Bluetooth service enablement for i3 sessions
- Icon cache update for VR launcher visibility in rofi
- i3 configuration template installation for skeleton and existing users
- Keyboard layout handling via X11 xorg.conf.d (no keyboard injection needed)

This enables users to install a lightweight X11-based desktop environment with VR support capabilities.

chore(releng): add fws-vr-setup executable to file permissions 3c12d9514c

feat(i3): add default i3 window manager configuration 2a3824a991

Add FWS default i3 configuration file with X11 session support.

Includes:
- Color scheme based on Catppuccin Mocha palette
- Keyboard bindings for common applications and window management
- VR headset driver setup integration (Super+Shift+V)
- Multi-monitor and workspace navigation support
- Screenshot and multimedia control bindings
- Status bar configuration with i3status
- Autostart for dunst, nm-applet, polkit-gnome, and blueman

feat(releng): add fws-vr-setup desktop application entry b408c84a8c

Add desktop application entry for VR setup tool that allows users to install drivers and runtimes for VR headsets including HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Meta Quest devices. The application launches fws-vr-setup command in a kitty terminal.

feat(icons): add fws-vr vr headset icon a63021cde7

Add scalable SVR icon for the fws-vr-setup launcher using FWS/Catppuccin color palette. The icon depicts a VR headset with straps, lenses, and nose notch in blue and dark theme colors.

refactor(fws-keys): make keyboard shortcuts tool universal for hyprland and i3 2c5f08330a

Rename fws-hypr-keys to fws-keys and extend it to support both Hyprland and i3 desktop environments. The tool now detects the session type and uses appropriate methods:

- Hyprland: queries hyprctl binds for real loaded bindings (wofi dmenu)
- i3: parses ~/.config/i3/config with variable resolution (rofi dmenu)

Update all references in configs and templates. Add VM detection warning in fws-vr-setup to prevent VR attempts in virtual machines where GPU/USB access is unavailable.

Add ttf-liberation font dependency for Steam UI stability on minimal installations and improve error guidance for Steam crashes.

feat(baseline): add recovery mode boot option to zprofile 7831b537d7

Add support for recovery mode that can be triggered via the fws.recovery=1 kernel parameter. When recovery mode is enabled, the system launches the fws-recovery console assistant directly instead of starting the graphical environment.

This allows users to access repair tools without needing to start X server, improving system recovery capabilities.

chore(baseline): add file permissions for new fws utility scripts a0f269cf90

Add file permission entries for five new utility scripts in the fws toolkit:
- fws-hello
- fws-update
- fws-updates-check
- fws-proton-ge

feat(waybar): add custom updates module to waybar configuration b5f00d8dd2

Add a new custom/updates module to the waybar right-side modules that displays available system updates. The module executes fws-updates-check every 30 minutes (1800 seconds) and allows users to install updates by clicking, which launches a kitty terminal running fws-update. Tooltip text is displayed in French.

build(releng): add python-gobject, pacman-contrib packages and enable firewalld 87977ce8d7

- Add python-gobject for fws-hello welcome window (GTK3 comes with Firefox)
- Add pacman-contrib for checkupdates/paccache (update indicator and fws-update)
- Enable firewalld.service by default with public zone (blocks inbound, allows outbound)

Requires root privileges and prompts for user confirmation on orphan removal.

feat(releng): add fws-updates-check script for update notifications 080a77c5e3

Add a new shell script that checks for available package updates using checkupdates from pacman-contrib. The script outputs the number of available updates with an icon for use in waybar/polybar status bars. Silent output when no updates are available allows the bar module to hide.

feat(efiboot): add FWS recovery boot entry configuration 9e59be79c3

Add a new EFI boot loader entry for FWS recovery mode that boots the live system without the installer and launches the recovery assistant console. This enables system repair functionality including GRUB reinstallation, initramfs regeneration, and pacman repair.

feat(i3-config): add rofi configuration for i3 desktop environment 3cdfdcfaeb

Install rofi configuration file (rofi-config.rasi) for i3 desktop to provide an application menu with FWS styling, equivalent to wofi in Hyprland. Configure rofi for both skeleton and existing user home directories with proper ownership settings.

feat(rofi): add rofi configuration for fws application menu 17f9c79983

Add rofi configuration file with FWS styling matching the Hyprland wofi look. Includes dark background, blue borders and selection, icon support, and Catppuccin Mocha color scheme.

chore(baseline): add file permissions for fws-powermenu and fws-about scripts 1cb48ce4e7

fix(fws-hello): set window type hint to dialog and prevent resizing 1c74b59459

Import Gdk and GLib modules to properly configure window behavior.

Set deterministic WM_CLASS using GLib.set_prgname() so that i3/Hyprland
window rules targeting "fws-hello" floating window behavior work correctly.

Set window type hint to DIALOG and disable resizing to ensure the window
remains floating with its natural size instead of being stretched across
the entire workspace, which would result in unreadable layout.

chore(hyprland): update hyprland config with dolphin, powermenu binding, and window rules ccdbdf4adf

Replace thunar file manager with dolphin for consistency.
Add power menu keybinding (Super+X) for shutdown/restart operations.
Add floating window rules for fws-hello and fws-about applications.

chore(i3-config): update file manager and add new keybindings and window rules ba2dc4637e

- Change default file manager from thunar to dolphin
- Add $mod+x keybinding for fws-powermenu (power menu)
- Add floating window rules for fws-hello and fws-about dialogs

feat(polybar): add power module to polybar configuration 1f465bf647

Add a new power module to the polybar configuration that displays a power icon and triggers the fws-powermenu command on click. The module is styled with red foreground color and integrated into the modules-right bar.

feat(waybar): add power menu module to waybar config a1adefe890

Add custom power menu module to waybar configuration with power icon and SUPER+X keyboard shortcut that launches fws-powermenu utility.

style(waybar): add custom power button styling 22a95badcf

Add styling for custom power button with Catppuccin color scheme.

- Default color: #f38ba8 (rouge doux)
- Hover color: #ff6b81 (lighter red)

chore(anaconda): replace thunar with dolphin and gvfs with udisks2 in desktop environments 07ff62af55

Update package lists for Hyprland and i3 desktop environments:
- Replace thunar file manager with dolphin (KDE's file manager)
- Add kio-extras for dolphin functionality
- Replace gvfs with udisks2 for USB mounting
- Update comments to reflect new mount mechanism

This change improves consistency and provides better integration for the respective desktop environments.

chore(releng): add fws-powermenu and fws-about to file permissions 73cf60e876

feat(fws-about): add fws-about dialog application for system information 4df4b2bff3

Add a new GTK3-based Python application that displays an "About FWS" dialog with two tabs:

- "Le projet FWS" tab: shows project name, description, features, and home URL
- "Système" tab: displays system information including OS, kernel, desktop environment, hardware (CPU, memory, GPUs, disks)

The application detects system information from /proc, lsblk, lspci, and environment variables. It replaces the default Xfce About dialog with FWS branding.

feat(powermenu): add fws-powermenu universal power menu utility cbdb386ba0

Add a Python-based power menu script that works with both Hyprland (Wayland) and i3 (X11) desktop environments. Supports lock, logout, suspend, reboot, and poweroff actions with appropriate display server backends (wofi for Hyprland, rofi for i3).

build(releng): hide xfce4-about application from menus a1255eb5c6

Add desktop entry file to hide the xfce4-about application from application menus. Since xfce4-about is a dependency of Thunar through libxfce4ui and does not require a full XFCE session, this entry prevents it from appearing in application launchers by leveraging XDG_DATA_DIRS priority where /usr/local/share takes precedence over /usr/share.

chore(releng): add fws-about desktop entry file d4bef2fe91

Add desktop entry file for the FWS About application with localized names and metadata for system integration.

docs(readme): document anaconda integration and fws tooling comprehensive updates 7268e7e23d

Update README to reflect completed Anaconda 45 integration on Arch Linux, replacing Calamares. Document:

- Desktop choices (GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Hyprland, i3) with VR compatibility matrix
- Installation flow: Anaconda hub with FWS spokes, LiveOS payload, recap page before write
- fws-* tooling ecosystem: fws-hello, fws-update, fws-keys, fws-powermenu, fws-about, fws-vr-setup, fws-proton-ge, fws-recovery
- Hyprland & i3 visual parity: Catppuccin Mocha theme, waybar/polybar, wofi/rofi, custom SDDM theme
- Boot sequence: menu entries (normal, safe graphics, recovery, speech) → Openbox live → Anaconda → recap → installation
- Build process: incremental AUR + local PKGBUILD compilation (anaconda stack)
- Expanded troubleshooting: VM rendering issues, SteamVR, Bluetooth, recovery mode, BIOS/UEFI boot
- Log locations for live and post-install debugging
- Clarified file locations: kickstart, spokes, configs, tools, branding

fix(i3-config): disable picom in virtual machines to prevent rendering artifacts d65f08cfad

picom's GPU compositing causes GTK window repaint issues in virtual environments (vmwgfx/llvmpipe), resulting in black content and visual artifacts. Use systemd-detect-virt to skip picom execution on VMs while keeping it enabled on real hardware.

The rounded corners feature is sacrificed in VM environments to maintain stable window rendering.

docs(readme): clarify baseline and releng config merge rules 2daac4a455

Expand the ISO branding documentation to include a detailed warning about the build process where baseline configs overwrite releng configs. Add a list of critical files that must be kept in sync between both profiles (profiledef.sh, packages.x86_64, pacman.conf, efiboot/loader/entries/01-archiso-linux.conf, syslinux/syslinux.cfg) and include a verification command to detect file divergences. This prevents silent data loss from config mismatches during the build.

chore(efiboot): update efifi boot loader entry configuration 45ff906097

Update the UEFI boot loader entry to reflect FWS install medium branding, add sort-key directive for boot order control, align configuration formatting, and increase udev event timeout to 45 seconds for improved hardware compatibility during boot.

feat(baseline): add firewalld to baseline packages 61fa81dd24

Include firewalld in the baseline x86_64 package list for system firewall management capabilities.

chore(pacman): remove fws-local repository configuration 6fb48bd3a8

Remove the custom fws-local repository section from the baseline pacman configuration. This local repository reference is no longer needed in the baseline setup.

refactor(baseline syslinux)!: restructure syslinux configuration for multi-boot selection bfd43ff41a

Replace simple serial-based menu with system detection logic using whichsys.c32 to automatically select between PXE and direct system boot. This enables dynamic boot method selection while maintaining support for both boot scenarios.

BREAKING CHANGE: Changes syslinux.cfg structure from single menu-based boot to conditional boot selection. Systems relying on the previous serial menu interface and default 'arch' label will need to adapt to the new whichsys-based selection mechanism.

feat(anaconda): add desktop installation retry mechanism for network failures 9e62cedff0

Implement a robust desktop installation retry system that handles transient network issues during the Arch installation process.

Changes:
- Create fws-desktop-retry script in /usr/local/bin for manual recovery after installation
- Add DNS resolution wait loop (up to 10 attempts with 3-second intervals)
- Implement pacman retry logic with up to 3 attempts (15-second delay between retries)
- Generate /var/lib/fws/desktop-failed marker file on installation failure
- Create informative MOTD message guiding users to retry desktop installation
- Preserve FWS-specific MOTD when it contains retry instructions

This allows users to recover from network/mirror failures without reinstalling the entire system.

chore(releng): add zenity, xterm, and fws-dnd to installer packages a0fc2c1019

Add zenity for graphical dialogs in the installer, xterm for terminal debugging and Openbox menu entry, and fws-dnd for D&D 5e management functionality (dice, characters, grimoire, sessions, combat).

feat(xinitrc): enhance anaconda startup splash with better diagnostics and feedback ec442193f5

Add memory check warning for systems with less than 2GB RAM.

Replace simple pulsing splash with active monitoring that displays:
- Real-time anaconda activity from log files
- Elapsed time and current operation
- Stall detection after 4 minutes of inactivity
- Automatic diagnostic report collection (journal, dmesg, udev status)
- Detection of GUI readiness to auto-hide splash

Add anaconda branding environment variables (ANACONDA_PRODUCTNAME,
ANACONDA_PRODUCTVERSION, ANACONDA_ISFINAL) to show "FWS" instead of
"Fedora" in installer headers and logs.

Improve splash cleanup to handle both feeder process and optional
diagnostic dialogs.

fix(baseline): update recovery boot flow to use X with gtk application 680ee39e94

Changed recovery mode (fws.recovery=1) to start X server with the GTK recovery application (fws-recovery-session) instead of directly launching the console assistant. This provides a graphical interface when possible, with a fallback to the console assistant if X fails to start.

Also updated comments to clarify the different recovery mechanisms on the live ISO versus the installed system.

feat(baseline): add zram-generator package 6f5fc95e82

chore(baseline): add file permissions for recovery tools and grub config a9ba4be111

Add file permission entries for new recovery-related executables and grub configuration:
- /usr/local/bin/fws-recovery-session
- /usr/local/bin/fws-recovery-gui
- /etc/grub.d/42_fws-recovery

All entries set to 0:0:755 (root owner, executable).

chore(syslinux): remove legacy syslinux linux configuration file 57f86ef5f7

Remove the outdated syslinux-linux.cfg configuration file from the baseline syslinux directory. This file is no longer needed as the project has moved away from syslinux-based boot configurations.

fix(fws-about): update distribution description to be more generic c7221247f2

Change the description from "Une distribution Arch Linux" to "Une distribution Linux" to better reflect the project's identity and avoid limiting it to Arch Linux specifically.

refactor(fws-recovery): restructure recovery script with subcommands and GUI support 8e2fc2ec6a

Split monolithic script into modular functions and add subcommand interface:

- Add scan subcommand to list FWS installations
- Add repair subcommand with actions: grub, initramfs, pacman, pacman-update, all
- Add shell subcommand for chroot terminal access
- Implement support for operating on running system (no mount/chroot needed)
- Extract detection and mounting logic into reusable functions
- Add in_target() helper to execute commands in target (chroot or direct)
- Improve mkinitcpio warning documentation
- Maintain backward-compatible TUI mode when no args provided
- Enable GUI (fws-recovery-gui) to pilot repairs via subcommands

docs(anaconda): add comment about fws-recovery boot entry and service 3a437a8bfe

Document the FWS recovery boot entry generated by GRUB configuration and explain how the fws-recovery.target and fws-recovery-boot.service work together. Clarify that no explicit activation is needed as the service has no [Install] section and is pulled by the target through Requires, while the desktop launcher provides an alternative way to invoke recovery.

feat(releng): add zram-generator to x86_64 packages 40d49cb9e2

chore(releng): add file permissions for recovery utilities and grub module e25935fa75

Add file permissions configuration for new recovery-related executables and grub module:
- fws-recovery-session executable
- fws-recovery-gui executable
- grub.d recovery module

All set with standard executable permissions (755) and root ownership.

chore(releng): change default syslinux boot option from arch to fws 7a44c4c291

chore(releng): optimize syslinux splash image a75964e391

reduce splash.png file size from 45400 to 14037 bytes through image optimization

feat(grub): add fws-recovery boot menu entry script 50773635e8

Add a new GRUB menu entry script that provides system recovery functionality.

The script generates a 'Réparer FWS (récupération du système)' menu entry that boots the system into fws-recovery.target with the fws.recovery=1 marker. This allows the recovery application to launch and perform system repairs via GUI or console fallback.

The script uses the fallback initramfs for maximum hardware compatibility during recovery operations, matching the UUID-based root detection logic of the standard 10_linux script.

chore(releng): add issue file to airootfs 34bf7909ad

Add /etc/issue file to the releng airootfs configuration. This file provides pre-login banner information displayed to users connecting to the system.

feat(releng): add fws-recovery-boot systemd service d00bcd4144

Add systemd service unit for FWS system recovery boot mode. This service handles recovery session initialization on tty1 with fallback from GUI (via startx/openbox) to console assistant if graphical startup fails. The service is only activated via fws-recovery.target kernel command line parameter and does not interfere with normal boot processes.

feat(systemd): add fws-recovery.target unit f3feff4dc2

Add new systemd target unit for FWS system recovery mode. This target is invoked via GRUB boot menu entry "Reparer FWS" and provides a multi-user environment with network access plus recovery session. The service includes proper dependency management to ensure getty@tty1 is properly handled.

feat(zram): add zram-generator configuration for live environment 44b476e1d0

Enable compressed swap in RAM (zram) for the live environment to prevent memory saturation issues on systems with limited RAM. This configuration provides necessary headroom during Anaconda installation by leveraging zram's ~3:1 compression ratio on Python heaps. The configuration is automatically copied to installed systems via LiveOS payload, maintaining this safety net post-installation on modest hardware.

feat(recovery): add fws-recovery-gui GTK3 application for system repair e35b352a2a

Implement a graphical interface for the FWS system recovery tool using GTK3.

Features:
- Scans for FWS installations on disk
- Provides action buttons for common repairs: GRUB reinstall, initramfs
  regeneration, pacman repair, and full system repair
- Displays real-time engine output in a log viewer
- Supports both root session (live mode) and regular user (pkexec elevation)
- Includes terminal access (chroot) for manual diagnostics
- Offers system reboot/poweroff controls

The GUI replaces Arch Linux branding with FWS in output for consistency
while preserving technical identifiers (package names, file paths) for
accurate diagnostics.

feat(releng): add fws-recovery-session script for recovery mode bc08f59e74

Add a new script that launches an X session with Openbox and the fws-recovery-gui application. This script is executed by startx during the FWS repair boot entry, providing a minimal graphical environment with Openbox as a fallback if the GUI crashes.

feat(releng): add fws-recovery desktop application launcher 881f771ed1

Add desktop entry file for FWS Recovery application launcher in the installed OS. Provides bilingual (French/English) interface for system repair operations including GRUB, initramfs, and pacman restoration. The application runs as a regular user with privilege escalation handled via pkexec.

feat(icons): add fws-recovery scalable application icon 9e3a02d96d

Add a new scalable SVG icon for FWS recovery application featuring a medical cross symbol in FWS brand colors (blues) on a dark background. Icon is placed in the standard hicolor scalable apps directory.

feat(releng): add polkit policy for fws-recovery privileged operations de05361b28

Add PolicyKit authorization policy file to allow fws-recovery-gui to execute fws-recovery engine via pkexec with administrative privileges. The policy uses auth_admin_keep to require authentication only once per session.

docs(licensing): mark anaconda branding removal as completed and update date 9c9891d98e

Update the Anaconda branding removal checklist item from incomplete to completed, documenting the implementation details:
- Product name changed to FWS via ANACONDA_PRODUCTNAME and ANACONDA_PRODUCTVERSION variables
- Variables exported by live .xinitrc and read from FWS os-release
- Installation header displays "FWS 1.0 INSTALLATION"
- BIOS boot menu visual replaced with FWS splash screen
- Modified Anaconda version documented in LICENSING.md and TRADEMARKS.md

Also update the compliance date from 2026-06-17 to 2026-07-07.

docs(readme): update fws architecture and recovery system documentation bf8b29c975

- Add FWS branding details for Anaconda installer (ANACONDA_PRODUCT* exports via .xinitrc)
- Enhance splash screen description with real-time anaconda activity monitoring and auto-diagnostic
- Document memory requirements (4 GB recommended, 2 GB minimum with zram swap)
- Clarify boot menu entries and recovery accessibility from live, GRUB, and installed system
- Add fws-recovery as GTK application with bash engine and console fallback
- Document zram swap configuration for both live and installed system
- Detail recovery system integration: GRUB entry, systemd target, polkit policy, and desktop launcher
- Update syslinux splash and DEFAULT entry documentation
- Expand merge rule warning with syslinux-linux.cfg example and BIOS boot status
- Enhance troubleshooting section with detailed recovery procedures and known issues resolutions
- Add information about splash watchdog, RAM warnings, and diagnostic auto-generation

docs(trademarks): document branding removals and anaconda customization 9c7f9b46c5

Add detailed documentation of trademark and branding changes:

- BIOS boot menu: replaced archiso syslinux splash with FWS original artwork
- Login banner: uses FWS PRETTY_NAME without kernel version suffix
- User-facing text: replaced references to Arch Linux/Fedora with generic descriptions
- Anaconda installer: configured to display "FWS 1.0" via environment variables
- Splash screen filtering: removes Fedora mentions from visible logs
- Technical logs: intentionally preserve upstream component identification for diagnostics

All changes maintain nominative fair use and preserve functional upstream tool identifiers.

docs(environnement): add native arch linux build reference section 8a90ef4794

Document the native Arch Linux build environment that has been the reference since July 2026. This section explains that build.sh and setup-aur.sh now detect and execute directly on Arch Linux, replacing the previous Windows 11 + WSL setup as the primary reference.

The Windows + WSL path remains functional with automatic fallback from Git Bash but is no longer the reference environment.

docs(changelog): release version 0.6.0 292e3071c6

Update changelog with version 0.6.0 release notes dated 2026-07-07.

Documents major additions including:
- Anaconda installer 45 ported to Arch with Live OS payload
- FWS tooling suite (fws-hello, fws-update, fws-keys, etc.)
- System recovery functionality (fws-recovery-gui and engine)
- zram swap support and firewalld enablement
- Hyprland and i3 desktop parity

Includes changelog entries for changed items (FWS branding, boot entries, compression), fixed issues (splash watchdog, low RAM handling, profile synchronization), and removed items (syslinux config).

chore(releng): convert systemd service files to symlinks 260547f6b6

Convert three systemd service configuration files from regular files to symlinks pointing to their respective system libraries. This ensures that the services reference the actual systemd unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system rather than maintaining duplicate copies.

chore(.xinitrc): update anaconda default product version to 0.6 aac3c8b59e

chore(release): bump version to 0.6.0 ae70926ed1

feat(releng): enable systemd-timesyncd ntp synchronization b7bf497cd6

Add explicit activation of systemd-timesyncd service to ensure proper clock synchronization on installed systems. This prevents clock drift issues that can affect TLS and pacman operations, and meets user expectations for accurate system time.

The service is already present in the image but inherited symlinks from the live environment may be ordinary files that systemd ignores, so explicit enablement ensures correct behavior on all installations.
