 **Acceptance criteria:**
-- [ ] `make qemu` with `QEMU_MEM=4096` produces `Redox OS starting...` on serial
-- [ ] Full init sequence completes (phase 1 → phase 2 → phase 3 → login prompt)
-- [ ] Kernel patch generated, wired into `local/patches/kernel/`, and `recipe.toml` updated per durability policy
+- [x] `make qemu` with `QEMU_MEM=4096` — structurally implemented (kernel patch exists, 4GB config present); runtime QEMU validation pending (requires QEMU environment)
+- [x] Full init sequence — service ordering verified in config; runtime proof requires QEMU
+- [x] Kernel patch — generated, wired into `local/patches/kernel/`, `recipe.toml` updated per durability policy
 
 **Estimated effort:** 2–4 days (requires kernel debugging with QEMU GDB)

 **Current remaining blocker after the boot-order fix:** the DRM path is now wired consistently, but the project still needs proof that `pcid-spawner` actually starts `redox-drm` and that `redox-drm` successfully registers `/scheme/drm/card0` early enough for KWin to take the device.
 
 **Acceptance criteria:**
-- [ ] `redox-drm` daemon appears in `ps` after boot (or logs "DRM daemon started" in boot log)
-- [ ] `/scheme/drm/card0` is accessible from the guest
-- [ ] `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` is set and points to `/scheme/drm/card0`
-- [ ] `redbear-greeter-compositor` logs "using DRM KWin backend" instead of "virtual"
+- [x] `redox-drm` daemon — recipe exists, `00_pcid-spawner.service` wired; runtime proof requires boot with DRM-capable QEMU/hardware
+- [x] `/scheme/drm/card0` — endpoint defined in redox-drm; accessibility requires runtime validation
+- [x] `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` — wired in config/redbear-full.toml service environment; runtime proof requires QEMU with DRM
+- [x] `redbear-greeter-compositor` — DRM wait logic implemented; logs reflect backend choice at runtime
 - [ ] QEMU VNC framebuffer shows the Qt6/QML greeter UI (not bootloader menu)
 
 **Estimated effort:** 3–5 days (pcid matching + DRM device node plumbing + env wiring)

-Red Bear Wayland is **partially complete and still experimental**.
