+- **First-boot welcome card** (`VISION § B`) — one dismissible "you're
+  set" toast on the first session (SUPER+M menu, SUPER+T themes,
+  SUPER+? keys, network pointer) — a notification, **not** a wizard.
+  Needs a one-shot marker that respects "no state outside the checkout":
+  either key off HM generation №1 or a `settings.firstBootShown` write.
+  Cost: one iteration (swaync notify + gate + VM assert).
+
+- **Generation readability** (`VISION § B`) — "what changed last
+  rebuild" in plain language: post-switch `nvd`/`nix store
+  diff-closures` summary (n packages up/down/added) surfaced as a toast
+  and/or a "What changed?" row beside System › Rollback. Rollback lists
+  generations but the story is incomplete. Cost: one iteration; VM
+  assert on the diff text.
+
+- **Battery health readout** (`VISION § C`) — report-only:
+  `cycle_count` + `charge_full/charge_full_design` % in a doctor
+  battery-health line (and optionally the Power menu). sysfs-gated so
+  desktops/VMs skip it. Cost: small, one iteration; extend
+  checks.doctor with a faked sysfs battery.
+
+- **Doctor first-boot section: pre-activate fail flag** (`VISION § A`
+  residual) — the installer already leaves
+  `/var/log/nomarchy-hm-preactivate.log` on the target when the theme
+  bake fails, but nothing on the installed system points at it. Doctor
+  gains a first-boot line: if the log shows failure and the HM
+  generation is missing, print the recovery one-liner. Cost: small.
+
+- **Dock life polish** (`VISION § C`) `[big]` — split before starting:
+  (a) clamshell — lid closed with external monitor connected must not
+  suspend (logind lidSwitchDocked/ExternalPower audit + display-profile
+  interplay), wake behaves; (b) default audio sink follows dock/undock
+  (switch to dock sink on plug, back to internal on unplug — WirePlumber
+  policy or a udev hook). Display profiles + auto-switch already exist;
+  this is the remaining edge-case pass.
+
+### Docs / narrative
+
+- **Hardware hall of fame** (`VISION § F`) — a HARDWARE.md
+  "install-tested machines" table (model, DMI, profile, date, notes)
+  seeded from the Latitude/dev-box sessions + a short "send your DMI
+  line" PR invite. Docs-only, one iteration.
