The author chip of the selected message's group now turns its label white,
as the message's text does, and goes back when the selection leaves the
group. A mention of an unknown node turns white too: its grey fill already
says the node is unknown, and white reads better on it than black.

In a channel, a DM, or a room, the selected message's text is white, and
now its mention chips follow: the label turns white and the fill stays, so
the chips still tell one node from the next. Arrow mode whitens the label
the same way. A mention that no key can place keeps its grey, as on every
selected row.

In a channel, a DM, or a room, the chip of a sender that is a locked
contact reads 🔒 Name (⚿ on the PicoCalc), in the place of the ★ on our
own chip. The transcript cache now compares the locks, so a ^K or a lock
from the node page redraws the chips on the next paint.
The padlock is one constant, marks.LOCK_ICON, shared with the Contacts list.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The same key as in a conversation. The row gains or loses its padlock in
place, with no confirm, and the next ^K reverses it. On the handhelds, Lock
(or Unlock) rides Shift+F2, as in a channel and a DM.
The hint names ^K only where it fits without dropping another atom. That
rule now lives in one helper, menus.splice_if_room, which the archive
preview uses too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
In a channel, a DM, or a room, ^K toggles the lock of the contact that wrote
the selected message, so the archive sweep never takes it. The hint says
^K lock or ^K unlock, but only where it fits without dropping another atom,
and the status line confirms what the key did.
On the handhelds, Lock (or Unlock) rides Shift+F2 in a channel and a DM. A
room keeps Log in there, so the Author page that a conversation opens now
carries the lock row, and no other management verb.

Chat's Channels, Rooms, and Direct headings and the trophy case's
discipline headings drop their emoji, for a cleaner look. The trophy
marks stay on the delete list's rows and the record page's header.
section_heading no longer strips icons, since no heading has one.

"Section spacing" (section_spacing_min_rows, in the Display group)
replaces "Author spacing" and "Spacing from". It is the smallest
terminal that gets the line: any height, 20, 24, 30, or 40 rows, or
never (default 24). Each section heading of a list gets the line, and
the chat keeps it between authors and before a new day.
The frame records the terminal rows on the screen before the body
renders (note_terminal_rows), and Screen.section_spacing is the one
test. section_heading marks its row as spaced, and the select list
adds the line, never at the top, after a blank line, or under a
heading. The hand spacers before headings are gone, except the seam
between the region table and its actions, which is two lists.

So they pop a bit more: #f5e5a8, pale and low in chroma, which keeps it
well clear of warn's amber (0.12 apart in OKLab) and title.warn's (0.085).
The PicoCalc draws its nearest slot, the bright yellow that warn uses.

A section heading, in a grouped list or as a chat's day divider, was the
dark grey of faint. It now wears title.border, the colour of the title
in the frame around it: bold #d4d4d4, and white on the PicoCalc. It is
still never the border's own grey.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
#7c7c7c went too far. The border now sits halfway in lightness between
that and the old #a2a2a2, and on the PicoCalc it is back on the light
grey slot, the nearest one.

Every node-type mark is white now: ● ▲ ■ ◉ were pink, violet, white,
and orange, and the shape already says the type. Each keeps its own
type.* style, so one can take a colour back in one place; the unknown ○
keeps its grey. On the map a crowd in one cell used to glow toward
white, which a white marker cannot do, so that signal is gone.
The border grey goes down to #7c7c7c, which JP picked on a ladder. That
sits almost on faint, so the title bar's live clip arrow is now lit like
the title instead of taking the border's grey. On the PicoCalc the
border is the dark grey slot.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A plain border, the one with no caution tier, was the indigo accent: one
more colour on every screen, and it meant nothing. It is now its own
theme style, border, in the grey of muted, with title.border and
hint.border beside it; the amber and red tiers keep their colours. That
covers the base frame, every dialog, the handhelds' title bar, the tab
strip, and the CLI's panels. The title bar's clip arrow for a direction
with nothing more now dims to faint, since the border and muted are the
same grey. On the PicoCalc the border takes the light grey slot.

The Tailwind slate greys were cold. Each one is now r=g=b at its own
OKLab lightness, so every contrast stays where it was: the theme's
chrome, the path chips, the map's roads, labels and buildings, the heat
tail, and the emulator window. test_neutral_greys fails any #rrggbb
literal that reads as a grey and has a tint.

MeshTerm runs the same on the Cardputer Zero (C154) and the Cardputer Zero
Lite (C155): the Lite only leaves out a camera, motion sensors, and the
microSD card, none of which MeshTerm uses. The device manual, the README,
the manuals index, and the About page now say that both models are supported,
and the manual says that the Lite needs a card with M5Stack's system first.
M5Stack does not support hot-swapping a Cap on the Cardputer Zero, the Cap
LoRa-1262 included, and says that it may cause the device to malfunction.
The manual now puts that caution before its steps for the Cap, with M5Stack's
other caution (the antenna goes on before the power), and the steps turn the
handheld off first. It also says that MeshTerm switching the header off when
it quits does not make a Cap safe to remove. The About page says the same in
its own voice, and gains a section on the Cardputer Zero next to the uConsole
and the PicoCalc.
The README shows the Cardputer Zero's start screen (the store's capture,
three times its size) under the PicoCalc photo, and its quick start shows the
emulator command. The pip commands with the spi extra install from GitHub,
because mesh-term is not on PyPI yet. The platform comment and CLAUDE.md no
longer say that the hardware is not in hand: only a flag selects the platform
because the device-tree model is the CM0's generic string.

The part of a route that the user does not compose (a mirrored return
leg, the return home) drew every hop as the same dark slate chip. Each
faded chip now has the colours of its own node at FADE_CHROMA of their
chroma, at the same lightness, so it still says which node it is. The
PicoCalc has no colour of less chroma: there a faded hop keeps its label
colour and drops its fill. Arrows keep faint.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The star of our node had the hue of our key, set from the self-info at run
time. It is now the white of "you" on each surface: the map, the routes,
the lists, the legends, and the chat. The run-time colour, the device-state
hook, and the style generation of the render cache are removed. A faded
star keeps its grey.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Our chip had our hue as a light fill under dark text. It now has the fill
that each known sender gets, with a white label, and the PicoCalc can draw
that too: white on the dim twin of the hue. The hop flag is white_ink now.
A chat chip with no key keeps its grey fill, and its label is black. On the
PicoCalc it is black on the light grey of the keyless chip.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The star of our node was the yellow of the map. SELF_MARK now names a
theme style, you.mark, and the theme writes our key's hue into it when the
device-state cache reads the self-info. The context makes that connection,
so the services still do not import the UI. The map, the routes, the lists,
the legends, and the chat all draw it, and the render cache keys on a style
generation so no old bytes stay. A faded star keeps its grey.
In a chat, a sender or a mention with no key had the light blue keyless
chip. It is now quiet: the grey of plain text on that grey darkened by the
chip rule. Routes keep the keyless chip, arrow mode keeps node.unknown, and
the PicoCalc keeps the keyless pair.

The point of our chip did not read well. The mark at the left of the time
is now the star, in the hue of our key: the colour of the mention chip in
the body. It is the same on each platform, with chips or without them. The
Messages list uses the same star at the left of the age.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The notch and the point together were too heavy. The mark is now one cell,
the point of our chip in its fill, then a space before the time. Without
chips, it is ">" in our hue.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The star at the left of the time becomes two cells in the fill of our
chip: the notch, then the point, with no label between them. Thus the mark
has the colour of the mention chip in the body. Without chips, it is ">>"
in our hue. The Messages list puts the same mark at the left of the age.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Our messages go under "★ Name" on the turned-over chip, as before the last
change. A mention of us keeps its chip without a star, and its message
keeps the star at the left of the time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Our sender chip is our name, turned over, with the star on the page to its
right. A mention of us has the turned-over chip and no star: the message
that names us gets the star at the left of its time, so every time moves
two cells right, and the Messages list puts it at the left of the row's
age. A mention chip drops its @ where chips are drawn.
The compose line draws each complete @[Name] as its chip and treats it as
one atom: the arrows step over it, and Backspace or Delete removes all of
it. A reply inserts its mention at the cursor, so one message can name
several nodes. The prompt and the typed text are white.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A channel, a direct chat, a room, and the Messages list show our messages
under "★ Name" instead of the bare star. The chip has our key's hue turned
over: dark ink on a light fill, where each other sender is light on dark.
A mention of our name takes the same chip, as "★ @Name". The PicoCalc
cannot draw a light background, so there the chip keeps the normal
colours and the star marks it. Path lines keep the bare star.

Greying every name that two keys ever used was too strict: a reflash with an
erase makes a new key, and 34 names on this mesh have one, JP's own among
them. Smog went grey this morning because of two keys silent since September.
The newest key now gets the name, and the name is grey only when another key
used it within name_overlap_days (a new Display preference, "Shared names",
default 7) of it: two live claimants. A contact that was never heard never
wins. On this machine's real data, LOG.IC 3R goes to its active key 47368a7c,
Smog to fa331c83, and 8 of 883 names stay grey.
The stored names come with their times from the one scan node_names() already
ran (node_names_with_times), so opening a chat costs no second scan.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A name is a label any key can claim, and a channel message carries only its
sender's name. When two nodes use one name, the resolver used to let the last
contact win, which handed one node's hue, map, and page to a message that
nothing tied to it: a second "LOG.IC 3R" with a new key took the first one's
green and location. Such a name now resolves to None, like any unplaced name.
A contact's full key and the stored id of the same node still count as one.

In a channel, a DM, or a room, ^O on a selected message opens the node page
of its author, the same page the Contacts list opens: our own for a message
of ours, the contact the author's key finds otherwise (ContactPages, the twin
of the map's Locator). It opens to look, without the management verbs, which
belong to the list a contact is in. The hint names ^O only where it acts; the
handheld chip is Author, on Shift+F3 behind Map, since F1-F3 are full.
The room's login moves from ^O to ^G.
The Unreleased changelog now also says where the Map chip went, and covers
the shared lane and the route-end chips.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
F1-F3 hold what the three conversations share, in the hint's order: Paths,
QR, Map. The Shift bank holds each screen's own verbs: ^R on Shift+F1 (Retry
in a DM and a room, Resend in a channel) and the room's Log in on Shift+F2.
F4/F5 stay the pager with Latest/Oldest behind Shift.
Day ↑ and Day ↓ are gone from the lane; the desktop keeps the day jump on
^PgUp/^PgDn.

The Messages list's preview draws its author as an origin chip (no colon: the
point says it) and its mentions as destination chips, as the transcript does.
The packet viewer's from rows close on the point and its to row opens on the
notch, around the via chain that already opens and closes on both. The live
feed's addressed subject is an origin chip and a destination chip facing each
other across one cell of page (widgets.route_ends): a seam would claim the two
are neighbours. A pair too wide for the lane cracks instead of eliding. The
courier's recipient is a destination chip, in the hue of its key while it
waits and muted once finished.
Arrow mode reads exactly as before everywhere. A lone hop there carries no
PATH_INK stamp, so a highlighted list row whitens it like any other name.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A message goes from its author toward the nodes it names, so the two chips are
the two ends of one route that is not drawn. name_chip takes a role (ORIGIN or
DESTINATION); arrow mode ignores it, so a degraded terminal draws exactly what it
did before. A chip in a message body never breaks across lines: render_hanging
holds each whole run together, spaces included. _sender_style lost its last
caller and is gone; its tests now read the rendered chips.

locate moves from ^Y to ^L, and the room's login from ^L to ^O, under the
chord rule of 3675226. On the map and in the mesh walk, ^L still goes to
our node. In a chat and on a room's board, ^L opens the map on the author
of the selected message (our own message: our node); on Contacts, on the
highlighted node. map_screen.Locator holds the markers that
gather_markers returns when the screen opens and answers find() at each
paint, so the "^L map" hint atom and the Shift+F1 Map chip show only
where the key acts. A room keeps Log in on Shift+F1, so ^L has no chip
on a room's board yet.
The chat's hints for a selected message go through _fit_hint, which
drops ↑↓ and then ^P only when the line passes 72 cells; the room now
reuses them. LaneDeck.action_for returns None for a slot that has only
a Shift companion.
Right Ctrl with a letter chord still does nothing on the Canadian
Multilingual layout: JP chose not to repair that.

scripts/cardputer-zero/build-deb.sh runs on arm64 Debian 13 (the
Cardputer itself) and makes meshterm_<version>-<revision>_arm64.deb.
MeshTerm and all its Python packages, the spi extra included, go in
/usr/lib/meshterm, compiled to bytecode. The package depends only on
python3: the store app installs a missing dependency with apt-get but
never runs apt-get update, so a Debian dependency can fail. For the
same reason the package carries Terminus beside its OFL, because an app
from the launcher has no terminal for --fetch-fonts.
packaging/notices.py gets a site-directory mode, because the walk of
the closure asks for no extras and so misses the spi packages.
scripts/cardputer-zero/store holds the listing that czdev publish reads
and a 256-pixel icon. The screenshots are still to make.

CLAUDE.md stays dense, because it loads in every session. It now says

On the desktop and the Cardputer, a chip was the node's hue with dark
ink on it, so a node's colour moved from its name to the ground behind
it the moment a route drew it. Now the label is the hue, the colour the
name has in every list and in arrow mode, and the fill is the same hue
at 0.60 of its OKLab lightness (CHIP_LIGHTNESS): the rule the PicoCalc
draws with its dim twins, at full resolution. A hash label and an
annotation are the label colour throughout, with the lit bytes bold.
A keyless chip is the same pair in grey; our star, a faded hop and the
composer's white slot keep what they had.
The value came from two ladders over twelve hues. A fixed step down in
lightness made the blue fills almost black (blue is the wheel's darkest
hue), one lightness for every fill made the blue label hard to read on
its own ground, and 0.65 / 0.55 were too weak in blue / too dull in
yellow. Darkening at constant chroma leaves sRGB, and the clip merged
neighbouring greens into one #008000, so oklab.fitted lowers the chroma
instead and keeps the hue.
A thin seam between two chips of one colour is now drawn in the
previous chip's label colour, the light half of its own pair, on both
palettes; the shaded-fill rule (SEAM_SHADE) is gone with it.

The console font gains the two powerline chevrons, drawn into the next
two donor slots (U+2559 and U+255B, which nothing draws), in both the
6x12 and the 6x8 builds. With them in its inventory, the PicoCalc's
verdict is core, so its routes are ribbons of chips like the
Cardputer's.
A chip there can only be filled from the eight background slots, since
under a 512-glyph font the VT has no bright backgrounds. So a node's
chip is the dim twin of its hue (theme.DIM_TWIN), and its label is the
hue itself: the colour the name has in every list and in arrow mode. A
hash label and an annotation are that colour throughout. A keyless chip
is white on light grey, the same pair one bank down. Our star, a faded
hop and the composer's slot have no dark grey to stand on, so they
stand on the page, the slot as a white + in a break of the ribbon. Two
chips of one colour join on a thin chevron in that colour.
Bold is brightness on the console, and Rich merges a selected row's
bold into every span on it, which turned the dim fills bright. Every
chip style there says "not bold"; the tests read the rendered row back
through the emulator's VT to hold that.
The new font takes effect once the font script runs again on the Lyra
(as root). Until then the PicoCalc's installed font lacks the chevrons.

The Cardputer's panel is drawn in MeshTerm's own Terminus, which has the
powerline chevrons, yet its paths came out as arrows: the chips-or-arrows
verdict asked the terminal that started the app about its font, and on
the device that terminal is no one's, so the answer was unknown. In the
emulator it was worse, since the verdict was whatever the host terminal
could draw, a question about the wrong glass.
A handheld names its glyph inventory (Platform.font), and every frame is
folded down to that font anyway, so the inventory now answers: after the
MESHTERM_POWERLINE override, before any terminal probe. Terminus has
U+E0B0 and U+E0B1, so the Cardputer draws chips. The PicoCalc's 512-glyph
console font has neither, so its paths stay arrows, now said outright
rather than reached by not knowing. Diagnostics reads
"core (platform:cardputer-zero)". The verdict is bound on a platform
switch and its memo cleared there.
Checked by rasterizing gallery screens through the emulator's VT and
Terminus at 53x14; not yet on the device.

Hold-to-quit was the Cardputer's alone. It is now MeshTerm's gesture
everywhere a key can be seen coming up, which a terminal never reports:
- The emulator's window, for either handheld, which reads its own keys
as the Cardputer's panel does.
- A terminal's Esc, where the keyboard can be asked whether it is still
down: GetAsyncKeyState on Windows, as the right-Ctrl rescue already
asks, and EVIOCGKEY on Linux wherever the keyboard's event device
opens (the PicoCalc, a uConsole, a user in `input`). It reads the key
state only, no events.
An Esc arriving while its key is still down is held back as a hold:
delivered as it comes up, a box after a second, gone at three. The
keyboard's repeats are part of the hold, a key typed during it goes in
behind the Esc, and on a VT stream the last repeat, which prompt_toolkit
can parse after the key is up, is dropped rather than going back a
screen behind a box the reader just let go of. On macOS and over SSH Esc
is unchanged.
SIGTERM is a quit for the interactive menu on every platform now, not
only under the Cardputer's launcher: a system shutting down gets the
same clean exit, terminal and console font restored.
EVIOCGKEY checked on the Cardputer's arm64 kernel; the Lyra was offline.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Cardputer Zero's launcher ends any app whose Esc is held: SIGTERM to
its process group at three seconds, SIGKILL three seconds after that
(cp0_esc_exit_policy.hpp in CardputerZero/launcher; M5's packaging guide
still describes an older Home-for-five-seconds rule). Its own hint never
reaches the panel while an app owns it, and MeshTerm took 3.4 s to exit,
so a held Esc ended in SIGKILL.
Now a tap of Esc is typed on its release, and a hold of one second
floats a "Hold Esc to quit" box whose bar fills over the two seconds
left. While it is up the app holds the device's transmit lock: nothing
new goes on the air, and a scoped channel send under way closes its
window first. Letting go gives the lock back and types nothing. Held to
the end, MeshTerm leaves the way Quit does, and the launcher's SIGTERM
joins that exit instead of interrupting it wherever the main thread
happened to be.
The exit itself fits: openhop-core's cleanup joined the radio's IRQ
thread, parked in an uninterruptible 30 s poll, for its full 2 s
timeout. The node drops that daemon thread from the books first. On the
device, under the real launcher, the process group now drains 1.3 s
after the SIGTERM, with no SIGKILL.
The emulator's window does the same on a held Esc, debounced for an X
server's release-press repeats.

chat join logs in to a room server and prints what it allowed: member,
admin or read-only. It uses --password, or the password MeshTerm
remembers for the room. A room says nothing to a wrong password, so a
join that hears nothing fails (exit 4) and names both possible reasons.
send --to a room posts to it, and its receipt says kind "room". A room's
history names each post's author where a direct transcript names the
peer, drawn the way a route draws a hop: "Alice (d4e5f6a7)", or the bare
hash when nothing names the key. The document carries the author on
every row, null outside a room, so history answers in one shape for
every kind of conversation; listen streams it too. chat list calls a
room a room.
The CLI manual, the features guide and the README describe rooms, and
CLAUDE.md adds room and post to the lexicon, 📌 to the icons, and ^L to
the chord list.

Once a trace had run, ↓ on the last action did nothing. The results sat in a
window of their own under the actions, sized to whatever rows the controls
left, so the page came out exactly as tall as the screen: the frame had
nothing to scroll, and edge scroll with it, while "↓ n more" sat under the
last action. Only PgUp/PgDn slid that window.
The results now follow the actions on the page. ↓ off the last action
scrolls on down through them to the oldest trace, the snap-back brings the
actions back, and PgUp/PgDn/Home/End page the whole screen, the way the TX
sweep and Records pages already work.
So that no other screen hides rows this way, ListWindow.fit and fit_blocks
take the highlight with no default: a window is for a list the highlight
walks, since every row it hides must be one an arrow reaches by walking onto
it. Anything nothing highlights belongs on the page, where the frame scrolls
it. The trace results were the only window over rows no highlight walks.
CLAUDE.md states the rule beside edge scroll.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Edge scroll reached only the eight screens that answered cursor_at_edge, one
gate each; the trace screen, the autocomplete prompt and anything built
tomorrow went without. Now no screen says where its edges are. An arrow goes
to the screen like any key, and the next paint reads the answer off the page:
a highlight on the same line, drawn the same, moved nothing, so the page
takes the line instead. Comparing the drawn line, not just its index, keeps a
list that scrolls in its own window from looking stuck. Arrows pressed faster
than the screen paints are judged together. All a screen supplies is its
highlight's line in cursor_line, which keeping it in view asked for already.
The eight gates and row_at_edge are gone.
The snap-back's arrow is now the one pointing at the off-screen highlight,
read from where the paint left it, so it no longer needs to know which edge
the page went past. Home and End take the page to its ends after the screen
has handled them, without assuming the highlight followed.
The remote CLI opts out (edge_scrolls = False): the line it keeps in view is
its prompt, and its arrows recall history. The autocomplete prompt now names
its highlighted suggestion, so a short box follows it; an empty select list's
"no matches" line stands in for the highlight; and the reorder list's Home
and End jump to its first and last rows, as on every list.

`meshterm emulate cardputer-zero --mock` and `meshterm emulate picocalc-lyra --mock`

Linux console's top-left grid and bold-as-bright 4-bit palette for the PicoCalc, the
lane keys drawn under the Cardputer's panel, and how each keyboard spells Shift with
an F-key (the PicoCalc's F6-F10, the Cardputer's xterm-shifted F4-F8).
It is not a strict emulator, and the docs say so wherever they offer it: MeshTerm runs
on the desktop as itself, and the window mimics the display's and keyboard's
constraints, never the CPU or the OS. Inside it the platform resolves with own_display
(platforms.drawn_by_meshterm), so nothing offers to move to another terminal.
Global options typed anywhere (--mock, --port, --db...) reach the emulated MeshTerm.
The command refuses --json like specimen. The Terminus fetch moved into the package as
`meshterm emulate --fetch-fonts` (with --archive for a copy fetched another way),
replacing scripts/cardputer-zero/fetch-terminus.py. A build without Tk says to install
with pip or pipx instead of failing.

"Host" already meant two things here: a TCP companion's network host,
and battery="host" for this machine itself. And with a PicoCalc preview
coming, the package is less a console host than an emulator of a
handheld's display: its panel, grid, font, colours and keys. So it is
meshterm.emulator, Platform.console_host is own_display, its desktop
window is window.py (EmulatorWindow) and its device front end
framebuffer.py, since "sim" and "device" now mean the radio simulator and
the device being emulated. MESHTERM_HOST_FONTS is MESHTERM_EMULATOR_FONTS.
The package's own description opens on what it is not: nothing runs the
handheld's processor or operating system; it mimics the display's
constraints so the window obeys the device's.

M5Stack makes three Cardputers and only the Zero runs Linux; the PicoCalc
takes several cores and only the Luckfox Lyra runs MeshTerm. So the bare
names were ambiguous, and every reference to the two devices now carries
the variant: the --platform values and MESHTERM_PLATFORM, the Platform
constants (PICOCALC_LYRA, CARDPUTER_ZERO), their lane decks and every
screen's picocalc_lyra_lane / cardputer_zero_lane, the font inventories,
the lane chips' theme styles, the scripts/ folders, the two chrome test
files, and the docs and CLAUDE.md that name them.
There is no alias: --platform picocalc is refused with the three real
choices listed, rather than falling back to the desktop layout. The
PicoCalc is auto-detected from its device tree, so it needs nothing.
What names hardware or a user's data keeps its name: the PicoCalc
keyboard's input-device name, its battery's sysfs supply, and the serial
profile the Lyra setup script writes. .gitignore follows the firmware's
folder, and the changelog keeps the words each release used.

CLAUDE.md and the platform's own comment still said the port lived on the
cardputer-zero branch. It is merged; the hardware is what is still to come.
