Bernardo promoted the PROPOSED item live: with fingerprint PAM on, sudo/login should accept whichever factor comes first instead of pam_fprintd's wait-for-the-reader-then-password. Stock PAM cannot express parallel factors (linux-pam#301), so this packages pam-fprint-grosshack v0.3.0 (pkgs/, pinned from GitLab — the field-standard fprintd fork), source-reviewed before packaging: every failure path (no reader, no prints, fprintd absent/hung, timeout, password typed) returns PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL and falls through; a typed password is only ferried via PAM_AUTHTOK to the stock `auth sufficient pam_unix.so … try_first_pass` rule — the module never validates passwords itself, so it cannot lock out password login. New option nomarchy.hardware.fingerprint.parallel, default TRUE (the better UX is what opting into fingerprint PAM buys; false = stock sequential). Wiring swaps the modulePath of stock fprintd's rule slot (mkForce) so the sufficient-before-pam_unix ordering is inherited, not recomputed. README + downstream template rows added. Verified: V2 — checks.hardware-toggles extended to three nodes, green: parallel node asserts the grosshack auth line precedes pam_unix in /etc/pam.d/sudo and that with NO reader a correct password still passes sudo while a wrong one fails (the lockout-safety invariant); seqpam node gets stock pam_fprintd and no grosshack; nopam gets neither. flake check + option-docs + template-sot green. V3 pending (HARDWARE-QUEUE, AMD dev box): the real type-or-touch race, fprintd-stopped fallback, hyprlock/greeter after a fingerprint win. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

field-standard fprintd fork; stock PAM cannot express parallel
