Research 026, the graphical session:
- evidence from both workstations;
- the questions: one module per piece, mesh seats, a held seat gating assignments, session start through .xinitrc, contributions beyond shells, per-machine values, sway as a sibling;
- the predecessor's lessons (03);
- the screensaver, autorandr layouts, rofi/dmenu, the clipboard and fonts (04);
- a catalogue of about 200 tools (05).
Research 027, the system layer: evidence from all four machines; candidates and the operator's decisions; the hosts file, mounts, DHCP; ~/.ssh, scripts, the keyring, laptop power, mail (03).
Issue 231: a misspelled placeholder is written out as text. Confirmed with the catalogue check.
To-be 42: the order, as the operator set it. Every machine's modules first, then the workstations', then one model's; each proven on one workstation before the rest.

records.py, cycle.py and index.py pass.

Research 026 (the graphical session) and 027 (the system layer) de032e704c

Evidence from both workstations and all four machines, read-only, and the
questions each must answer: seats and gating for the display stack, who starts
the session with which environment, contributions beyond shells, sway as a
sibling session; the container runtime with docker-compose on workstations
only, software outside the official repositories, secrets in the account's
environment, and three security findings.

Research 027: the operator's choices, the hosts file, mounts, and two DHCP clients on one interface 61e70b9395

Research 026/03: what the predecessor taught; issue 231: a misspelled placeholder is written out as text 8712d666bf

Research 027/03: ~/.ssh as one module's, scripts on every machine, the keyring, mail as events 27b2d30441

Research 026/04: the screensaver, monitor layouts and menus b7aebedc2d

Research 026/04: the clipboard 550453c5db

Research 027/03: the laptop's power management; 026/04: fonts 6e5dfd2ab8

Research 026/027: improve while adopting, the fonts chosen, and a catalogue of the tools each module serves 9016d88d54
