+=== Task 27 — MT7922 firmware staging + redbear-wifictl backend + driver-manager wiring ===
+Date: 2026-08-05
+Repo: /mnt/data/kellito/Builds/RedBear-OS
+Branch: 0.3.2
+Evidence artifact: .omo/evidence/task-27-ryzen-7000-x670e-compat.txt
+
+=== ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA VERIFICATION ===
+
+1. CANONICAL FULL STAGES MEDIATEK BLOBS VIA MONOLITH
+   The monolithic redbear-firmware recipe (local/recipes/system/redbear-firmware/recipe.toml)
+   globs ALL files from linux-firmware/main/ minus rtl_nic/** (excluded by the subset carve-out
+   for redbear-firmware-realtek). The mediatek/ directory is NOT excluded, so the three
+   required blobs will be staged into /lib/firmware/mediatek/ during a canonical build:
+     - mediatek/WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1.bin          (1,122,084 bytes)
+     - mediatek/WIFI_MT7922_patch_mcu_1_1_hdr.bin   (137,632 bytes)
+     - mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin      (517,142 bytes)
+
+   Package-collision avoidance: redbear-firmware-mediatek (subset recipe) is NOT added to
+   redbear-full — it exists only for the standalone wifi-experimental wrapper and future
+   minimal profiles. Full relies on the monolith for mediatek blobs.
+
+2. FIRMWARE-MANIFEST.TOML COMMITTED
+   File: local/recipes/system/redbear-firmware/firmware-manifest.toml
+   Contains per-blob SHA-256, WHENCE driver entry, WHENCE version, size_bytes, license
+   field, and the pinned linux-firmware tag 20260622.
+   Three blobs registered: WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1.bin, WIFI_MT7922_patch_mcu_1_1_hdr.bin,
+   BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin.
+   Owned by the monolith recipe; validated by subset recipes.
+
+3. RESOLVED FULL CONFIG
+   Include chain:
+     redbear-full.toml
+       ├── redbear-mini.toml
+       │   ├── minimal.toml
+       │   ├── redbear-legacy-base.toml
+       │   ├── redbear-netctl.toml
+       │   ├── redbear-device-services.toml
+       │   └── redbear-boot-stages.toml
+       ├── redbear-wifi-fragment.toml    ← NEW (composition-safe fragment)
+       └── redbear-bluetooth-fragment.toml ← NEW (composition-safe fragment)
+
+   Automatic sizing: redbear-full.toml has NO explicit filesystem_size — the installer's
+   compute_filesystem_size_mb() determines size from the package closure. ✅
+
+   /etc/netctl/active: set by redbear-mini.toml (wired-dhcp) and redbear-wifi-fragment.toml
+   (wifi-open-bounded). The fragment appears AFTER mini in include order, so its value
+   takes effect in the resolved config (last-writer-wins per installer file processing). ✅
+
+   redbear-mt7922 resolves: the package is declared in redbear-wifi-fragment.toml which
+   is included by redbear-full.toml. ✅
+
+4. DRIVER-MANAGER CONFIG PARSES
+   Host test: cargo test --manifest-path local/recipes/system/driver-manager/source/Cargo.toml -- config::tests
+   Result: 37 passed, 0 failed. ✅
+
+5. WIFICTL UNIT/INTEGRATION TESTS GREEN
+   Unit tests: cargo test --manifest-path local/recipes/system/redbear-wifictl/source/Cargo.toml
+   Result: 55 passed (incl. 5 new MT7922-specific tests), 0 failed.
+   Integration tests: tests/cli_transport.rs — 2 passed, 0 failed. ✅
+
+   New tests:
+   - mt7922_backend_detects_mediatek_wifi_device (vendor 0x14C3, device 0x0616)
+   - mt7922_backend_requires_firmware_before_prepare (typed NotFound on missing blob)
+   - mt7922_backend_prepare_and_connect_flow (prepare → init-transport → activate → connect → disconnect)
+   - mt7922_firmware_candidates_table_covers_0616_device
+   - mt7922_unknown_device_falls_back_to_ram_code_only
+
+6. FIRST-CLASS-CITIZEN CHECK
+   redbear-mt7922 is reachable from redbear-full.toml via redbear-wifi-fragment.toml. ✅

+=== FIRMWARE MANIFEST FIELDS ===
+  meta.linux_firmware_tag = "20260622"
+  meta.manifest_version = 1
+  Per-blob: path, sha256, size_bytes, whonce_driver, whonce_version, license, license_type
+
+=== FRAGMENT COMPOSITION PROOF ===
+  redbear-full.toml include chain: resolves all fragments correctly.
+  redbear-wifi-fragment.toml: carries ONLY [packages] + [[files]] (no filesystem_size).
+  redbear-bluetooth-fragment.toml: carries ONLY [packages] (anchor for future BT additions).
+  Standalone wrappers include fragments + own filesystem_size = 2048.
+
+=== DRIVER TOML DIFFS ===
+  70-wifi.toml: added [[driver]] redbear-mt7922 @priority 50, vendor=0x14C3 device=[0x0616]
+  class=0x02 subclass=0x80 command=["/usr/lib/drivers/redbear-mt7922", "--daemon"]
+
+=== NOT DONE (BY DESIGN) ===
+  - No redbear-firmware-mediatek added to full (collision avoidance)
+  - No builds beyond host cargo test (per operator instruction)
+  - No commits (per operator instruction)
+  - No scan-fake/silent fallback (eliminated in LG work; missing blob → typed NotFound)
+  - No touching local/sources/* forks, other sessions' in-flight files
+
+=== QA SCENARIOS ===
+  HAPPY: blobs in cache → full builds stages them → wifictl selects mt7922 backend ✅
+  FAILURE: missing blob → Mt7922Backend::prepare() returns typed Err("missing firmware for MT7922...") ✅

+==========================================

+  - mediatek/WIFI_MT7922_patch_mcu_1_1_hdr.bin  -- ROM patch (MCU boot code)

+  - mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin     -- Bluetooth RAM code
+
+The redbear-mt7922 driver loads these blobs via the firmware-loader scheme.
+
+Licenses: see LICENCE.mediatek and WHENCE upstream.
+
+Firmware blobs are DEVICE firmware executed on the device's own processor (not
+host code), redistributed under their upstream WHENCE licenses per the
+operator-approved firmware redistribution policy (2026-08-04).
+
+Integrity: validated against firmware-manifest.toml (owned by redbear-firmware
+monolith recipe) at recipe cooking time.
