Record init/load/provision in the roadmap (the config-on-SD migration
and the firmware env!()->file read TODO) and in the git-sync note as the
implementation of the pre-seed-from-a-computer decision.
The 150 MB of images are remanso's image CDN (it reads image bytes straight
out of git as blobs), not offloadable bloat — LFS/filter-repo/git-rm all
break remanso. libgit2 also lacks blobless partial clone. Decision: leave
the repo untouched and pre-seed the SD with a full clone from a computer, so
the device only ever takes the open + incremental fetch/push path. Also
notes the increment-C constraint: stage specific paths (not add_all) so a
media-excluding sparse checkout is safe.
Replace the header/status-bar layout with a full-height writing column
plus an always-visible side panel holding all metadata. Canonicalize the
new region vocabulary in CONTEXT.md (Writing column, Side panel) and retire
header / status line / edit area as terms-to-avoid.
Consequent sweeps: rewrite the Error UX section in side-panel terms and
give keyboard-disconnect a home (⌨ ✗, disconnect-only); drop the "line N"
readout; reconcile the render module ops and region shadow; sweep the
status-line/edit-area wording across the technical, roadmap, qfd, notes,
README, and ADR-003 docs (incl. the ~11→~13 line-count figure).
The post's job is to land the timing question and the apocalypse
reframe — Wi-Fi rationale, optimisation diversions, and generalising
reflections were overexpansion. Cut.
Long-form rationale for the "durability before delivery" framing —
why a 10-second network operation in response to a single keystroke
doesn't have to feel slow. Establishes docs/notes/ as the home for
shareable design rationale (not authoritative spec).
