Question

Using the three platform/design investigations, which small architecture should own device transactions, authorization, persistence, unprivileged UI/CLI access, and niri/Noctalia integration? Set the v1 platform/ABI baseline; choose the UI/runtime, daemon language and IPC contract; decide the Noctalia surface and Carbon/theme boundary. Preserve a single hidraw owner with narrowly scoped access and no dependency on systemd. Resolve through a live user exchange, considering dependency footprint, delivery effort, maintainability, and accessibility. Recommendations are not decisions until accepted.
