TWO OWNERS BECOME ONE. gig-up --converge called `powerprofilesctl set
performance` while the gearbox wrote the same governor/EPP/platform_profile
through thermal-mode, with no arbiter — whichever ran last won, and ppd
re-asserts itself on AC transitions, so a converge done on battery was undone by
plugging in for the set. converge now drives the gearbox. It deliberately does
NOT touch trim: quiet-vs-cool is a room-by-room call (a mic'd quiet room wants
Quiet even at a gig) and converge cannot know which room it is in.
The resolver rejects a PRE-gearbox thermal-mode rather than calling a verb it
does not have, and falls back to ppd when there is no gearbox at all — a rig
check must never fail because a sibling repo is missing.
THE PANEL, the GUI half of the button whose CLI half converge already was.
converge owns services and refuses to open windows ("a script that opens windows
under someone is a script they stop trusting"), leaving Pulsar and Ardour
reported-but-not-launched. The Bridge is a thing PLN clicked, so it is allowed
to open his apps. Converge runs off the request thread: a cold SuperDirt boot
warms 51 banks and gig-up waits up to 100s for it, which held open as an HTTP
request would read as a hung dashboard.
The list under the button carries gig-up's two hard-won rules:
* A GREEN UNIT IS NOT SOUND. 2026-08-01 had parvagues-sc.service active while
scsynth was dead. `systemctl start` is a no-op on an active unit, so that
state reads `broken` and says "needs restart, not start" — reporting it as
down would send the reader to a button that cannot fix their problem.
* ABSENT IS NOT DOWN. A thing you cannot start is a different problem from a
thing you can, and collapsing them wastes the reader's time under pressure.
Verified live: POST /api/rig converged the rig for real — SuperDirt booted,
watchdog and autoroute up, faders restored, setlist and preload regenerated —
and the panel tracked it through the poll. The audio ladder then reported 5/5
with scsynth and sclang joining the PipeWire trio.
One bug found on the way, kept as a test: `systemctl show --value` emits
properties in ITS order, not the caller's, so pairing them positionally swapped
LoadState and ActiveState and made every inactive unit report its state as
"loaded". Parsed by key now, with Id making each block self-identifying.
56 bridge tests green (13 new).
