ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 34fd02e08f feat: give every room the broker, one scale, and its own panel back
Little Waders took the Plasma build and reported what a container
cannot. A disc player on a machine with no optical drive, a clock nobody
at the back of the room could read, a browser at half the size of the
panel around it, and Parent Call with no broker to call.

The broker is the same for every classroom, so it is a default now and
not something to fill in room by room. classroom-migrate brings an
existing room to the same place without touching its name, its username
or its password, and Parent Call distinguishes a broker it cannot reach
from one that was never set up: those send somebody to look at
completely different things.

The disc player's detection was right and ran too late — alongside the
session rather than before it, and the panel is built from the layout the
moment a session starts. It runs before the display manager now, and
again from udev when a drive is plugged in.

UI_SCALE had a ceiling of 1.5, which cannot express a 4K television; a
clock pinned at 15 points, which is the same size at every scale; and a
browser that was never told the number at all. All three are fixed and
the room doubles together at 200%.

This also brings 0.1.47's work into the repository, where it had only
ever existed in a build directory under /tmp: the hidden display dialog,
its authenticated writer, the polkit action, and the church's own
wallpaper. One piece of it is deliberately left out. The custom volume
display needed a shell package of our own, and with one selected
plasmashell builds no panel at all — measured twice, with that build's
own files, on a classroom that deletes its panel configuration at every
login by design.

The lab connected to the real church broker the moment the package
defaulted to it. Nothing was left behind, which was checked, but the
guard that should have stopped it had never worked: it used iptables,
which the lab image does not have, and probed with /dev/tcp under dash,
where that always fails. Both reported success.

# Plasma builds the panel from the classroom's layout script whenever it
# starts with no panel configuration, and keeps whatever it built after
# that. That means an update could change the bar in the package and
# never change it in a room — which is exactly what happened with an icon
# that outlived the file it came from.
#
# So the configuration is removed before the shell starts and the bar is
# rebuilt from the layout at every login. The desktop becomes stateless:
# there is nothing in a teacher's home that an update cannot reach, and a
# panel damaged somehow is repaired by the next login rather than by a
# technician.
#
# Nothing is lost by this. The panel is immutable to teachers by Kiosk
# policy, so there is never anything of theirs in that file.

# This runs before plasmashell, as a user service ordered Before it.

# FOREIGN APPEARANCE STATE.
#
# A classroom machine that has been through another desktop arrives with a
# profile that answers questions the package means to answer. Two places
# sit ahead of the classroom's own directory in KConfig's cascade:
#
# ~/.config/kdedefaults what the last look and feel applied wrote.
# Plasma also treats it as the record of which
# look and feel is in force: remove it and the
# next session applies ours again from scratch,
# which resets the palette to the package
# default. That is right for a machine arriving
# from another desktop and wrong for a room that
# chose the light theme, so whose it is decides.
#
# ~/.config/kdeglobals the user's own file, which beats every system
# directory. plasma-apply-colorscheme expands a
# whole palette into it, so a light Breeze scheme
# from a previous desktop would keep the room
# light no matter what the package said.
#
# The colour scheme is the one piece of appearance a room is allowed to
# choose, through classroom-theme, so an Ekklesia scheme is kept and
# anything else is removed. This is not a wipe of the home directory: two
# named pieces of appearance state, neither of them a teacher's work.
