# To do (Steam Machine edition)

## Open

1. **Test the live session** after the next build (`build-live-modules.sh`
   runs in the container before buildiso.sh): Vapor look and layout at the
   live login, `lsmod | grep steamify` in the live session (on the Steam
   Machine it loads; in the VM with `--fremont` too), and shutting down from
   the live session on the real Steam Machine stays off.
2. **Steamify PR**: `feat/defaults-mode` (2.6.0, `b948c20`) in
   steamify-cachyos, pushed, no PR yet (checked 2026-09-27: not on main,
   newest release v2.5.2). Ready: open it; the user
   merges (never commit to main). The ISO's first-login step needs 2.6.0
   released.
3. **Test on the real Steam Machine** from a USB stick (gamescope, LEDs, CEC,
   power-off) before calling the ISO usable.

## Done

- **Regression test 2.6.0 on an existing desktop install** (test VM from
  ssh-ready, `--fremont`): full first run, re-apply, notifications/CEC/theme
  off and on again. No errors; user units enabled and running, theme applied
  and restored live, no first-login autostart with a session.
- **ISO name**: `steamify-cachyos-<date>-x86_64.iso` (`iso_name` in
  `archiso/profiledef.sh`); the volume label stays `COS_<yyyymm>`.
- **VM install from the ISO (2026-09-27, `f42859a`):** a VM install from the ISO (Hello's
  Install, no manual fixes) ran Steamify's step: every component OK,
  `exit: 0`, SDDM autologin into gamescope. First desktop login (session switched to plasma in the VM) passed too:
  Vapor layout, the app opened with everything on. The first-login script
  runs the newest *release*, so it only works once 2.6.0 is released (in the
  test it was pointed at the bundle).
  The VM's text
  console doesn't show (virgl): read the installed disk with
  `qemu-nbd -r` + `mount -o ro,rescue=nologreplay,subvol=@` (logs in `@log`).

## Later

- **Steamify wizard pages in the installer**, before anything is installed:
  the same choices as Steamify's menu (conversion, boot into gamescope or
  desktop, theme, Deck icons, single user, shortcut + non-Steam game,
  notifications, VRAM booster, HDMI-CEC, Steam Machine support + power-off
  fix), defaults ticked like a first run. A Calamares page (netinstall-style
  YAML or a QML module in the `show` sequence) stores the ticked ids in
  global storage; `steamify-install` passes them to
  `steamify.sh --backend apply <ids>` (`--boot gamescope|desktop`) instead of
  `--defaults`.
- **Branding**: the live session's os-release says "Steamify, based on
  CachyOS" (Hello's subtitle); Hello's window title and the boot menu still
  say CachyOS. Check with the CachyOS team.
- **Release**: a CI job that builds the ISO (privileged container, flags from
  the steam-machine-iso skill) and hosts it (>2 GB, not a GitHub release asset).
- **Drop the Boost 1.91 workaround** in `steamify-prepare.sh` once
  `cachyos-calamares-next` is rebuilt against the repos' Boost.
