### Select Build Configuration
Mainline configs still exist, but tracked Red Bear work should normally be built and validated
through the tracked `redbear-*` profiles. For the desktop direction specifically, `redbear-kde`
is the tracked default target.
through the four supported `redbear-*` compile targets. For desktop work specifically,
`redbear-full` is the tracked desktop-capable target.
Available configs (in `config/`):

| `redbear-minimal` | Minimal tracked Red Bear image |
| `redbear-full` | Broader tracked integration image |
| `redbear-kde` | Tracked default KWin Wayland image |

Scope:

- diagnostics,
- recovery workflows,
- installability for the non-graphics target.
### Desktop policy
### `redbear-live-full`
- The intended primary desktop direction is KWin Wayland.
- Validation work is subordinate to the KWin Wayland desktop goal.

Live/demo/recovery profile.
Live/demo/recovery form of the full desktop target.

### Desktop policy
- Desktop/graphics are available only on `redbear-full` and `redbear-live-full`.
- Validation work that does not require graphics should prefer `redbear-mini` or `redbear-live-mini`.

- **D-Bus**: 1.16.2 built for Redox. Qt6DBus enabled.
- **KF6 Frameworks**: all 32/32 built. Some packages remain shimmed or stubbed (kirigami stub-only, kf6-kio heavy shim).
- **Mesa**: software-rendered path is present; full GBM / hardware-validated Wayland path is still incomplete.
- **GPU drivers**: redox-drm scheme daemon and AMD+Intel compile-oriented paths exist; hardware validation is still pending.
- **GPU drivers**: redox-drm scheme daemon exists; Intel build-oriented path exists; AMD currently has a bounded retained compile path (`redox-drm` + Red Bear glue) while the imported Linux AMD DC/TTM/core trees remain under compile triage. Hardware validation is still pending.
- **Input**: evdevd compiled, libevdev built, libinput 1.30.2 built
- **Networking**: native wired stack present (`pcid-spawner` → NIC daemon → `smolnetd`/`dhcpd`/`netcfg`), Red Bear ships a native `netctl` command, RTL8125 is wired into the existing Realtek autoload path, and the bounded Intel WiFi path now has host-tested profile start/stop plus interface-specific DHCP handoff without claiming real wireless connectivity.
- **Wi-Fi profile target**: `config/redbear-wifi-experimental.toml` is the first explicit tracked image slice for bounded Intel WiFi validation, instead of spreading that claim across the generic desktop profiles.
- **Bluetooth**: one bounded in-tree BLE-first experimental slice exists, and the Battery Level read-only workload now has a packaged in-guest checker plus a host QEMU harness; QEMU validation is still in progress, so broad desktop Bluetooth parity is still incomplete
- **KDE direction**: `redbear-kde.toml` is the tracked KWin Wayland desktop direction, and the runtime stack is still incomplete.
- **Desktop direction**: `redbear-full` / `redbear-live-full` carry the desktop-capable target surface, and the runtime stack is still incomplete.
- **ACPI**: materially complete for the historical boot baseline, not release-grade complete; implemented: typed startup errors in `acpid`, AML mutex real state, EC widened accesses via byte transactions, kstop-based shutdown eventing; **known gaps**: sleep state transitions and sleep eventing; DMAR remains present in `acpid` but not wired, with ownership still transitional/orphaned rather than cleanly transferred; bare-metal validation remains bounded and still outstanding. See `local/docs/ACPI-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md`.
- **Linux driver compat**: linux-kpi now includes early wireless-subsystem compatibility scaffolding in addition to the earlier helper layer, redox-driver-sys and firmware-loader compile, and the bounded Intel Wi-Fi path now has host-tested scan/connect/disconnect/profile/reporting flows without claiming real hardware Wi-Fi connectivity.
- **Wi-Fi validation tooling**: `redbear-phase5-wifi-check` and `redbear-phase5-wifi-capture` are now packaged in-guest helpers for bounded Intel Wi-Fi runtime validation and evidence capture on bare metal or VFIO-backed guests.
