The [users.root] override in redbear-full.toml only set shell, which replaced (not merged) the base.toml entry that had uid=0 gid=0 password="password". Without explicit uid/gid, the installer assigned root UID 1000, causing D-Bus to fail looking up user "root" and "messagebus" — all D-Bus clients (sessiond, polkit, udisks, upower) timed out and exited. Verified: D-Bus daemon starts, polkit registers PolicyKit1, sessiond registers login1, zero timeouts or retries in QEMU boot.
