All notable changes, per version and per commit. Versions follow Semantic Versioning and were numbered from the start of the history.

0.4.0 - 2026-09-28

An unattended VM install, a test plan, and the lessons from testing Steamify 2.7.0.

• feat: scripts/vminstall.sh installs an ssh-ready test VM unattended; TESTPLAN.md; vm-install skill
  • scripts/vminstall.sh [--force] [--iso <file>] [--fremont]: CachyOS from the ISO's headless cachyos-installer (kernel booted directly with systemd.run= + systemd.wants=, files and log over scripts/vminstall-server.py), then share/vminstall-post.sh: sshd, passwordless sudo, test autologin, Limine default_entry. Snapshots clean and ssh-ready. User: the host's username, password steamify; key ~/.ssh/steamify-vm_ed25519 (made once, never overwritten).
  • scripts/common.sh: VM_DIR, and the VM's user, key and known_hosts from it; run.sh: VM_ISO, VM_KERNEL/VM_INITRD/VM_APPEND, VM_SERIAL, repo-path.
  • scripts/steammachine-addkey.sh: the VM key on the Steam Machine too.
  • TESTPLAN.md: regression, the app, features per release, Steam Machine hardware (faked and real), results log. scripts/qmpkey.py presses keys in the VM (drives the app).
  • Fixes: vmreset.sh doesn't restart plasmalogin when the snapshot already logged in (HELPER_TTY_ERROR); vmstate.sh reads ~/.local/state/steamify; vminstallsim.sh passes LANG=C.UTF-8 like the ISO.
  • Skills: update ssh-ready at the start of every session; the ISO is built in the test VM.

0.3.0 - 2026-09-27

The Steam Machine ISO and Steamify's install-time mode.

• f8e2473 feat: steam-machine-iso skill (ISO build in podman on the Steam Machine, installer simulation, first-login test) and scripts/vminstallsim.sh

0.2.0 - 2026-09-24

Watchable test runs and the lessons from testing cachyos-gamescope-boot 0.7.0 (cachyos-vapor theme, LED driver on every kernel).

• b4114a1 feat: Visible wizard runs, one-step VM reset and screenshots; skill updates
  • scripts/vmreset.sh [--fremont]: restore ssh-ready, boot, mount the repo, set up the test autologin and wait for Plasma.
  • scripts/vmwatch.sh '<input>' [label]: run the wizard in a visible Konsole in the VM, so someone at the QEMU window can follow along.
  • scripts/vmshot.sh <out.png>: screenshot via a user unit (spectacle crashes when started straight from SSH).
  • scripts/vmstate.sh: DKMS status per kernel, the DKMS override, the kernel headers service, the dark look-and-feel, the wallpaper and the theme's layout backup.
  • scripts/cmp.sh: also compares kcminputrc and ksplashrc.
  • Skill: VM directory outside the repo, the menu's first-run pre-ticks and the conversion/single-user coupling, the repo mount lost on reboot, re-applying the conversion resets the session to gamescope, the new theme and LED checks in the test matrix, and the broken mirror workaround.
• 3733f94 docs: Changelog
• 3cdf2e1 feat: Fake BIOS version for testing the BIOS update item
  • BIOS_VERSION=F7F0107 ./run.sh ... makes the guest report that BIOS version (SMBIOS type 0), so the wizard offers the update.
  • Skill: testing the BIOS item with WIZARD_BIOS_DRY_RUN=1, and the wizard's menu loop.
• c6abfd2 docs: Renamed to steamify-cachyos-dev, for Steamify CachyOS
  • README and skill point to github.com/theupriser/steamify-cachyos; the local clone's default path (REPO) and the guest's state directory keep their old names.
• 8c48858 chore: The wizard's script is now steamify.sh
  • vmrun.sh, vmwatch.sh, the skill and the README run /mnt/steamify.sh.
• feat: Release testing, cleaner resets and screenshots; skill updates
  • vmwatch.sh --release runs the newest GitHub release in the VM.
  • vmreset.sh skips the broken krfoss mirror and installs shellcheck.
  • vmshot.sh --clean closes Steam, CachyOS Hello and Konsole first.
  • Skill: menu items 1-7 and the new menu loop/restart question, current scripted inputs, always finishing on a fresh snapshot (the DKMS bug only showed there), testing releases and their assets, the Steamify shortcut, and the zsh word-splitting pitfall.
