What we lost

Everything below was local-only in fruix and is now gone from the repo checkout.

1. Newt runtime integration on real FreeBSD

Lost code/work around:

• guile-newt runtime integration into Fruix
• auto-discovery of prepared guile-newt from bin/fruix
• threading Newt runtime into installer artifacts
• installed wrapper env support for Newt
• LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH handling
• installer-only shared-lib exposure under /usr/local/lib

2. Installer frontend self-test and launcher split

Lost:

• run-newt-self-test
• --self-test CLI support for installer-tui
• headless tmux-based TUI smoke harness
• installer media launcher split into:
  • dispatcher
  • backend apply engine
• rc.d frontend-selection knobs
• headless installer-media self-test harness
• XCP-ng installer-media self-test harness

3. Real XCP-ng validation of the booted installer frontend

Lost from repo:

• the actual harness/scripts/docs for the successful XCP-ng self-test run
• all code fixes uncovered by that run:
  • termcap exposure
  • metadata cleaning fix
  • Newt media runtime fixes
  • frontend dispatch behavior

4. Installed system console/default tty work

Lost:

• declarative console-configuration model
• sane default dual console policy
• default gettys on:
  • ttyv0..ttyv7
  • ttyu0
  • xc0
• freebsd-userland additions needed for real login/getty behavior
  • getty
  • login
  • passwd
  • su
  • who
  • last
  • nologin
• /etc/gettytab exposure into installed rootfs
• QEMU and XCP-ng validation scripts/reports for console defaults

5. The package CLI and dev-tool package work

Lost:

• fruix package list/search/show/build
• package lookup helpers
• added package defs for:
  • freebsd-ripgrep
  • freebsd-tmux
  • freebsd-nodejs
  • freebsd-npm
  • freebsd-neovim
