- **[usefulness] Screen Sharing for Legacy X11 Apps (`xwaylandvideobridge`)**:
Native Wayland screen sharing works via PipeWire and the desktop portal,
but apps running via XWayland (like older Electron apps, Discord, or Slack)
cannot capture the Wayland desktop directly. Adding `xwaylandvideobridge`
invisibly routes Wayland window/screen streams into a virtual X11 window
that these legacy apps can read, instantly fixing the "black screen" issue
when sharing screens.
- **[stability] Magic SysRq Keys for Safe Recovery (`kernel.sysrq = 1`)**:
If the Wayland compositor crashes or the GPU driver hangs, the desktop
completely freezes. The standard fallback is holding the power button,
which risks BTRFS data corruption. Enabling `boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.sysrq" = 1`
allows the kernel to intercept the Alt+SysRq+REISUB key sequence to safely
terminate processes, sync disks, gracefully unmount filesystems, and reboot
even when userspace is dead. This is a critical safety net.
- **[usefulness] File Manager Archive Backend (`file-roller` or `xarchiver`)**:
Thunar is configured with `thunar-archive-plugin` in the system module, but
the underlying archive extraction GUI backend is missing. Consequently,
right-clicking a `.zip` or `.tar.gz` file and clicking "Extract Here" will
fail silently. Adding an archive manager fulfills a fundamental workstation
requirement and fixes the broken context menu.

- **Task:** Bernardo requested new actionable items for stability and workstation feature-completeness, including a deeper dive.
- **Did:** Researched the codebase for gaps. Pitched six new PROPOSED items: BTRFS auto-scrub, udiskie automounter, ddcutil external display control, pcscd+u2f security key support, easyeffects mic noise cancellation, and smartd drive health monitoring.
- **Did:** Researched the codebase for gaps. Pitched nine new PROPOSED items: BTRFS auto-scrub, udiskie automounter, ddcutil external display control, pcscd+u2f security key support, easyeffects mic noise cancellation, smartd drive health monitoring, xwaylandvideobridge for legacy screen sharing, Magic SysRq keys for safe crash recovery, and file-roller/xarchiver for Thunar's broken extract menu.
- **Verified:** n/a (research only).
- **Pending:** awaiting Bernardo's triage to elevate to the active queue.
- **Next suggestion:** triage the PROPOSED items.
