-#TODO wayland-client, fix linux/input, wayland-scanner shim
+#TODO: complete runtime validation. The recipe builds with the
+#current patch set, but the following remain open:
+#  1. Run a live X client under Xwayland on the Red Bear Wayland
+#     compositor; verify that the X11 forwarding creates and surfaces
+#     windows correctly via wl_shm + the X11 window protocol.
+#  2. Verify XInput2 input forwarding (pointer + keyboard) through
+#     the libinput path on Red Bear.
+#  3. Validate Xrender + Xshm extensions against the Mesa-backed
+#     xshmfence path (we already include libxshmfence in deps).
+#  4. Capture an Xwayland-launched X11 client screenshot from
+#     inside the Red Bear Wayland session.
+#  5. The current recipe has -Ddrm=false, -Dglamor=false, -Dglx=false
+#     which means it's a pure software rasterizer. A real
+#     acceleration path needs the upstream glamor/GLX
+#     integration and a working libdrm-amdgpu-or-intel userland
+#     driver. For now, Xwayland is a CPU-rendered X server; that
+#     is sufficient for headless validation but not for a full
+#     KDE-on-X11 fallback.
