# To do (Steam Machine edition)

## Open

1. **Check the live name** after the next build: Hello's subtitle should say
   "Steamify CachyOS, based on CachyOS rolling" (`steamify-customize.sh`,
   run by mkarchiso after the packages; the airootfs copy of os-release is
   overwritten by a package).
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

- **Live session** (VM, `--fremont`): Vapor look and layout (Steam Deck
  wallpaper) at the live login; the power-off module is built for both ISO
  kernels and loaded at boot, in the VM it returns "No such device" (no
  AMDI0030 GPIO controller), as designed. Whether it keeps the real Steam
  Machine off is part of the hardware test.
- **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.
