@@ -983,7 +983,7 @@ buffer. This is the change the plan now calls **v6.0**.
 | Gap 3: renderD128 openat path | ✅ **DONE (partial)** | Added `NodeKind::Render` variant, `openat` mapping for `renderD128`, `fpath` returns `drm:renderD128`, and `queue_card_event` includes Render. Mesa can now open the render node. |
 | Gap 5: host→guest resize event processing | ✅ **DONE (pre-existing)** | virtio IRQ handler at `virtio/mod.rs:366-403` reads `VIRTIO_GPU_EVENT_DISPLAY` and calls `refresh_connectors`. Scheme layer queues `hotplug` events. |
 | Gap 8: `atomic_check()` ignores connector state | ✅ **DONE** | Renamed `_available_connectors` to `available_connectors` in `kms/atomic.rs`. Added validation: for each CRTC, every referenced connector must exist in `available_connectors` and have `ConnectorStatus::Connected`. Returns `CrtcNotFound` or `ConnectorDisconnected` for invalid commits. |
-| Phase 2.1: Mesa EGL Wayland fix | 🚧 Skeleton (recipe forked) | `local/recipes/libs/mesa/recipe.toml` forked from mainline as the foundation for the switch from `-Dplatforms=redox` + `-lorbital` to `-Dplatforms=wayland` + `-lwayland-client`. Recipe modifications pending. |
+| Phase 2.1: Mesa EGL Wayland fix | ✅ **DONE (recipe edit)** | Direct edit of `recipes/libs/mesa/recipe.toml`: removed `liborbital` dep, added `libwayland` + `wayland-protocols` deps, changed `-Dplatforms=redox` to `-Dplatforms=wayland`, replaced `-lorbital` with `-lwayland-client -lwayland-server -lwayland-egl -lwayland-drm` in LDFLAGS. Recipe still points at upstream `gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/mesa` git source. Per the NO OVERLAY policy, this is a direct edit of the mainline recipe (Red Bear is a full fork, so `recipes/` is the source of truth). The `local/recipes/libs/mesa/` fork was removed. To finish Phase 2.1 build-side, the build needs to clone the redox fork source. A future step is to fork the mesa source itself to `local/sources/mesa/` and switch the recipe to use `path = "..."`. |
 | Phase 3.5: redbear-compositor page flip fix | ✅ **DONE** | Renamed `DrmOutput._file` to `drm_file`; `flip()` now uses `&self.drm_file.write_all(&buf)` instead of reopening `/scheme/drm/card0` on every call. |
 | `redox-drm` dangling symlink | ✅ **FIXED** | `local/recipes/gpu/redox-drm/source` symlink had `../../../local/sources/redox-drm` (3 levels) which resolved to `<root>/local/local/sources/redox-drm` (double `local/local`). Fixed to `../../../../local/sources/redox-drm` (4 levels). |
 | `build-redbear.sh` aggressive cache nuke | ✅ **FIXED** | Previously set `NO_CACHE=1` when any of relibc/kernel/base/bootloader/installer was stale, which ran `make repo_clean` and forced full mesa/llvm21/qt6/kwin rebuilds on every base source change (30+ min). Now only deletes the specific stale package's pkgar and target dir. |
