+| GN8 | to write (stand-in session) | 2.13.0: a theme-only run ends in the relogin countdown (Cancel keeps "Restart GNOME"), `steamify-gdm-relogin <session>` lands in the session the app runs in and puts AccountsService `Session`/`XSession` back; no helper = plain logout; a run that needs a reboot shows Restart now, no countdown |
+| GN9 | to write (screenshots) | theme off/on/off with a relogin after each: top bar icons and overview search still work; dash favorites, `gio list-apps`, `~/.local/share/icons/hicolor` (PNG, no `index.theme`), gsettings leftovers (`gtk-theme`). **Reported broken on hardware, not diagnosed** (gnome/PLAN.md) |
+| GN10 | to write | extension ownership: `gnomeextras.list` before install (missing packages only); both off removes those packages and the two extensions from `enabled-extensions`; theme off with the conversion on keeps them enabled; user-installed packages stay |

+| GN12 | to write | prebuilt Settings package (`settings` release): download + checksum + `pacman -U --ask 4` installs the "GNOME Desktop" panel, off puts stock back; offline / wrong checksum / pacman conflict keep stock with a warning |
+| GN13 | manual | desktop icons from the top right in name order (Return to Gaming Mode, Steam, Steamify CachyOS), user's own files keep their positions, off restores `start-corner`; dock at the bottom |
+| GN14 | manual, real PC with two OSes | Limine with a second Linux install on the same ESP: the other install's entry survives a reinstall of this one (it does not today: repaired by hand twice, recipe in gnome/PLAN.md); order CachyOS, CachyOS GNOME, Windows; Secure Boot (sbctl) with the hand-written entry NOT done |
 
 Not automatable: gamescope itself (no rendering in the VM), the app's dock icon and window frame, the Settings panel, real hardware (GDM restart behaviour).

Plain PC: 21-22 pass, **1 fail per loader: "cec is on, but this is not a Steam Machine"**. Cause: `steamify-install` falls back to "everything on" (`...,vram,cec,machine,poweroff`) when Calamares passes no selection (the headless test install), and `cec` is offered on every PC; `poweroff` stays off by itself (`machine_available`). The docs say HDMI-CEC is ticked by default only on a Steam Machine: either the ISO's fallback should only include `cec` on a Steam Machine, or this check should not expect it off. To decide; a real install through the chooser is not affected by the fallback. Test side: three parallel first installs corrupted the shared package cache (`could not rename ... .part`): install one VM first to fill `~/vms/pkg-cache`; a first retry also hit a transient "cachyos: signature ... is invalid" from a mirror. Laptop needs a `bsdtar` shim (pycdlib) and `VM_SSH_KEY` outside `~/.ssh` |

(The limine boot line in the summary says "aborted" only because its VM already existed from the first run of the same ISO; its 43 passed.) Test side: six parallel installs of a newly released kernel corrupted the shared package cache (`linux-cachyos ... corrupted (PGP signature)`): delete the new files from `~/vms/pkg-cache/pkg`, install one VM first, then the rest |
