Parent Call told rooms they had never been set up. Nothing about the rooms was wrong. Read from the church broker: …/coordinator and …/pending are retained and …/mode is absent, and the coordinator's own source says why — it publishes the retained mode only in answer to an operator writing to …/mode/set, and nobody ever has. Every classroom waited a second and a half for a message that will never exist. A missing mode is now read as the coordinator's own default rather than as an unconfigured room: the room offers the call and lets the sanctuary end answer, because that is the end that knows. A mode that really is off still refuses, in the coordinator's words, and a broker that is missing or unreachable still says which of those it is. Proved against a rig broker made to match the church's exactly, with a call landing on the sanctuary mock. The card is anchored to the bottom-left corner instead of centred, by layer shell, which is what the disc player's cover has used under KWin for months. Anchoring rather than positioning is what makes it right at 1080p and at 4K without a coordinate anywhere. It falls back to the centred card if the library is missing. Notifications are sized for a room. Every Plasma measurement is a grid unit and a grid unit is the height of the general font, so the font is the lever — 15 point instead of Breeze's 10, which takes the card from about 350x110 to about 410x145 at 100% and doubles again at 200%. Text, icon, padding and buttons move together. The chime stays off. No shell package: that path cost the panel and is not coming back. And the product name is gone from everything a teacher sees. The notification card is from Classroom, the disc player's from DVD. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>

The migration
migration-before |
what a real room got when it upgraded: stock Debian Plasma, kickoff, a pager, a system tray, the Debian wallpaper. Reproduced in the lab by taking one line out of the harness. |

Parent Call on the migrated machine, saying it cannot reach the church network rather than pretending it can |
theme-light-live, theme-light-after-logout |

pc-typed-layer |
the card gone: the lab's keyboard tool closes it, which is why typing is still a bench test |
Failures, kept
