ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 8ba04801a7 docs: record the Wonder Ink Present view observation
Vimeo plays in the normal lesson view and stops immediately in Present
view, which rules the machine out: same video, same host, same codecs, a
click earlier. No packages were installed and nothing was changed.

Written as a decision procedure rather than a shrug. The first step is a
stock Chrome with no classroom policy and a clean profile, which settles
in one run whether this is Wonder Ink or something at our end. Two
candidates follow if it turns out to be ours, each with the diagnostic
that would confirm it, and the note that AutoplayAllowlist is recognised
by Chrome 152 but has deliberately not been applied — allowing autoplay
on a classroom machine should follow evidence rather than a guess.

# Classroom test checklist
Run against the exact artifact published to canary, on the real endpoint,
before promoting to stable with `./update_stable.sh`.
## Boot
- [ ] Cold boot reaches the classroom shell with no terminal or window junk
- [ ] Reboot does the same
- [ ] Wallpaper appears
- [ ] Dock appears, centred
- [ ] Clock appears, bottom right
## Provisioning
- [ ] `journalctl -u ekklesia-classroom-provision` shows a clean run
- [ ] Google Chrome is installed on a machine that never had it
- [ ] A second boot does not reinstall anything
- [ ] A machine with no network still boots to a working shell, and
provisioning succeeds at a later boot once it is online
## UI scale
UI_SCALE sets sway's output scale, so it scales the whole session.
Change it, then `sudo systemctl restart getty@tty1`.
- [ ] `UI_SCALE=1.0` is identical to a session with no scaling
- [ ] `swaymsg -t get_outputs` shows the mode still 1920x1080 at every
scale, with only the logical size changing
- [ ] At 1.25 and 1.5, **Chrome** grows: tabs, omnibox, toolbar icons,
menus and page content
- [ ] Chrome's buttons are still easy to hit with the mouse
- [ ] Dock, clock, notifications and the DVD bar grow by the same
amount — once, not twice
- [ ] `UI_SCALE=0.8` shrinks everything together
- [ ] A nonsense value (`UI_SCALE=banana`) still gives a working shell
- [ ] An extreme value (`UI_SCALE=9`) is clamped, not obeyed
- [ ] `journalctl` or the sway log shows `classroom-scale: session scale N`
## Reserved bottom shell (regression)
The bottom strip is one full-width layer-shell surface with a 76px
exclusive zone. Dock and clock live inside it. Do not split them back
into separate layer-shell windows.
- [ ] A maximised Chrome window stops above the bottom strip
- [ ] The clock does not float over Chrome
- [ ] Dock stays centred, clock stays bottom right
- [ ] Wallpaper shows through the unused parts of the strip
- [ ] Every dock button still responds to clicks
- [ ] A fullscreen application covers the whole display, dock included
## Browser
- [ ] First Browser click launches Chrome
- [ ] Chrome opens on Wonder Ink (https://app.wonderink.org/)
- [ ] Clicking Browser while Chrome is focused minimises it
- [ ] Clicking Browser again restores it **maximised, not floating or draggable**
- [ ] Clicking Browser while Chrome is running but unfocused focuses it
- [ ] `Super+M` minimises the focused window
- [ ] `Super+Shift+M` restores the most recently minimised window
- [ ] Normal navigation to any other site works
- [ ] The Home button returns to Wonder Ink
- [ ] Fullscreen YouTube video uses the whole display
- [ ] Leaving fullscreen restores the correct geometry above the dock
- [ ] Chrome has **no sway title bar** — the window starts at Chrome's
own tab strip, and Chrome's tabs and address bar are still there
- [ ] Chrome still maximises and minimises as before
- [ ] After a reboot, no "Restore pages? Chrome didn't shut down
correctly" bubble
- [ ] Chrome does not offer to save passwords
- [ ] `chrome://policy` lists PasswordManagerEnabled as an applied
managed policy
- [ ] Website logins still persist across a reboot
- [ ] Clicking Browser when Chrome is closed shows a throbber on the
dock button until the window appears
- [ ] Clicking Browser when Chrome is already open feels immediate,
with no throbber
- [ ] The pointer shows a busy cursor while it is over the dock
- [ ] No first-run, default-browser or sign-in nag appears
- [ ] `chrome://policy` lists the Ekklesia policies as applied, with no
"unknown policy" entries
- [ ] Chrome does not start by itself at boot
- [ ] After a reboot, cookies and site logins are still there
- [ ] After an OTA update, cookies and site logins are still there
Known limitation: Chrome's own minimise button in its title bar does
nothing. Sway ignores the Wayland minimise request and gives no event to
hook. Minimising is the dock's Browser button or `Super+M`.
## Notifications
- [ ] `classroom-notify-test` renders with the classroom styling:
dark translucent, rounded, white text, top right
- [ ] `classroom-notify-test --critical "Parent Call" "Room 3 needs a parent."`
renders in the critical style and does not time out
- [ ] Notifications appear over a fullscreen video
Over SSH from an administrator account, run it with sudo:
```
sudo classroom-notify-test --dry-run # show the session it resolved
sudo classroom-notify-test # send into the classroom desktop
```
The classroom desktop belongs to the classroom user, and mako sits on
that user's D-Bus session. A plain notify-send from an SSH session lands
in the administrator's own session, where nothing owns
org.freedesktop.Notifications, so D-Bus tries to start a second mako with
no display and the call times out with NoReply. The script finds the
running sway process for the classroom user and delivers into its
session instead. It never starts mako.
- [ ] `sudo classroom-notify-test` from an SSH session displays on the
classroom screen
- [ ] `sudo classroom-notify-test --dry-run` reports the resolved
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, bus address and Wayland display
- [ ] Running it as an unprivileged admin account explains it needs sudo
- [ ] `tests/test-classroom-notify-test.sh` passes (also run by the build)
## DVD
With `DVD_ENABLED=false`:
- [ ] No DVD button in the dock
With `DVD_ENABLED=true`:
- [ ] Drive unplugged: button present, icon held back, friendly notification on click
- [ ] Drive present, no disc: friendly notification on click, nothing crashes
- [ ] Inserting a disc produces one **DVD Ready** notification
- [ ] The DVD icon comes up to full strength while a disc is in
- [ ] Nothing plays until the button is pressed
- [ ] Clicking plays the disc
- [ ] Menus work
- [ ] Audio works
- [ ] Chapter navigation works
- [ ] Fullscreen works
- [ ] `Super+M` minimises the player, the DVD button restores it
- [ ] Closing the player works
- [ ] Ejecting is detected, the icon goes back
- [ ] Reinserting is detected again
- [ ] Commercial CSS disc plays without anyone having run codec setup
by hand
### DVD mode
- [ ] Pressing DVD covers the **whole** display immediately, dock and
clock included — no wallpaper visible anywhere, at any point
- [ ] A spinner and "Loading DVD…" show while the disc spins up
- [ ] No partial VLC window is ever visible against the wallpaper
- [ ] The loading surface stays up until the disc menu is actually
showing — VLC's tiled black startup window is never visible
- [ ] Video or the disc menu replaces the loading surface when ready
- [ ] A disc that never opens still gives the desktop back (20s)
- [ ] No VLC chrome anywhere: no menu bar, no fullscreen controller,
no cone, no sway title bar
- [ ] Wallpaper is never visible around VLC
- [ ] Moving the mouse to the bottom slides the classroom bar up
- [ ] It hides again shortly after the mouse leaves it
- [ ] While hidden, clicking a disc menu item near the bottom still
reaches the menu
- [ ] Play/pause toggles and the icon follows the actual state
- [ ] Previous and next chapter work
- [ ] The menu button returns to the disc menu
- [ ] Space pauses; arrow keys and Enter navigate the disc menu
- [ ] Arrow keys do **not** change volume, and no key reaches crop,
aspect ratio, subtitles, audio tracks or deinterlacing
- [ ] Esc leaves DVD mode cleanly, with no black window left behind
- [ ] Close leaves DVD mode cleanly
- [ ] Eject leaves DVD mode and opens the tray
- [ ] Killing VLC by hand also returns to the classroom desktop
- [ ] Pressing DVD twice quickly does not start two sessions
- [ ] The bar is sized by UI_SCALE like the dock
## OTA
- [ ] `./update_canary.sh` publishes package first, manifest last
- [ ] The endpoint on the canary channel picks the update up
- [ ] SHA-256 verification passes
- [ ] Install succeeds and the endpoint reboots
- [ ] Everything above still works after the update
