 Any Linux box with a USB or DSI touchscreen will do. It is deliberately modest
 hardware: the whole point is a display that idles at a few watts.

 The eMMC is why the installer checks free space before starting a build: a Rust
 toolchain plus a target directory is around 1.8 GB.

+## Never log out of a keyboard-less wall display
+
+lightdm autologin fires when a **seat starts**, not after a logout. `i3-msg exit`
+therefore drops the display to the greeter and leaves it there — and the rack
+panel has no keyboard, so nobody can log back in at the machine. Recovering it
+needs `sudo systemctl restart lightdm` or a reboot, and the LattePanda has no
+passwordless sudo.
+
+So: **`i3-msg exit` does not test the autostart, it only strands the box.** The
+only honest test of the boot path is an actual reboot.
+
+Related trap when handing over a root command: `ssh host 'sudo …'` allocates no
+TTY, so sudo has nowhere to prompt and fails. Use `ssh -t`. Chaining with `&&`
+then swallows the rest of the line, which is how a recovery command silently did
+nothing at all. Use `;` for recovery steps that must run regardless.

+`v2-rust` (PR #1); the LattePanda rack display has been running v2 since, and

 v1 is three POSIX shell scripts driving lisgd and tmux. It works and is running on
 the rack display today, but it hard-codes a single linear carousel of socktop hosts,

 - [ ] Remove the v1 leftovers in `/usr/local/bin` on the LattePanda -- needs root:
       `sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/socktop-rack /usr/local/bin/socktop-swipe /usr/local/bin/socktop-gestures /usr/local/etc/socktop-swipe.env`
-- [ ] **Physically swipe-test the LattePanda.** Everything was verified over the
-      control socket; the evdev path itself has only unit tests. Nobody has put a
-      finger on the panel against v2 yet.
-- [ ] **Cold-boot test the LattePanda.** lightdm autologin fires at seat start, so
-      an `i3-msg exit` drops to the greeter instead of restarting the session --
-      it does not exercise the boot path, and on a keyboard-less wall display it
-      strands the box. Test with a real reboot, not a logout.
+- [x] **Physically swipe-tested 2026-09-09** -- and it found a real bug the unit
+      tests could not: every swipe classified as up-to-down, because a contact's
+      start position was captured from the X event alone and recorded Y as zero.
+      Fixed, with protocol-B decoding tests. QA passed on the retest.
+- [x] **Cold boot verified 2026-09-09.** Autologin, i3, and `socktop-swipe run`
+      all come up unattended.
 - [ ] Add the tested-hardware table to the README once the Wyse is done.
 - [ ] Decide on the position indicator (`indicator: true`). Implemented; keep or
       cut based on whether it actually helps on the wall.
