Test results: 229 tests pass across 8 crates. session-launch: 11/11, greeterd: 8/8, authd: 16/16, sessiond: 27/27, hwutils: 19/19, firmware-loader: 24/24, redox-driver-sys: 30/30, linux-kpi: 94/94. Known: redox-drm and iommu need Redox target to run tests (expected for cross-compiled device crates using libredox). Fixes applied: - Qt6 toolchain: -march=x86-64 -fpermissive (CPU compat + headers) - dhcpd: auto-detect interface from /scheme/netcfg/ifaces/ - i2c-gpio-expanderd: decode retry (3x with 50ms delay) - ucsid: same I2C decode hardening - CHANGELOG and DESKTOP-STACK-STATUS updated

Changelog
This file tracks user-visible changes in Red Bear OS.
When a commit changes the visible system surface, supported hardware, build flow, shipped configs, or major documentation status, add a short note here and keep the README "What's New" section in sync with the newest highlights.
2026-04-14
- Added a canonical GitHub-visible Red Bear OS implementation plan under
docs/and linked it from the main README and docs index. - Added a user-visible GitHub-facing "What's New" section to the root README and linked it to this running changelog.
- Added a new
redbear-kdeconfiguration and documented current KDE bring-up status as in-progress rather than not started. - Refreshed top-level and docs status notes so historical roadmap documents no longer read as the current repo state.
- Expanded shipped Red Bear system tooling and config coverage around runtime diagnostics, native hardware listing, and Redox-native networking flows.
- Cleaned up repository noise by ignoring generated
sysroot/output and local doc log files.
