mesa-panvk-bifrost: iter10 polish — drop sandbox bypass, pin sha256, tighten loader select

iter10 of the panvk-bifrost campaign. Eliminates the cosmetic
'--disable-gpu-sandbox' warning at brave-vulkan launch + pins the
Mesa tarball hash + makes the Vulkan ICD selection deterministic
across filesystems.

PKGBUILD changes (pkgrel: 1 -> 2):
  - install ICD JSON at /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/00-panvk-bifrost.json
    (was: /usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/icd.json — required VK_ICD_FILENAMES,
    which the GPU sandbox would strip, forcing --disable-gpu-sandbox)
  - libvulkan_panfrost.so install path unchanged at /usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/
  - sha256sums[0] pinned to 1d3c3b8a8363b8cc354175bb4a684ad8b035211cc1d6fa17aeb9b9623c513f89
    (mesa-26.0.6.tar.xz from archive.mesa3d.org); patches + brave-vulkan +
    icd.json remain SKIP since they're in-tree (git-tracked)

brave-vulkan changes:
  - dropped --no-sandbox + --disable-gpu-sandbox: env vars MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE
    and PAN_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER survive the GPU sandbox boundary
    (Mesa loader reads them pre-seccomp-lockdown)
  - dropped VK_ICD_FILENAMES (loader auto-picks via icd.d/ directory scan)
  - added VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT='00-panvk-bifrost*' for deterministic
    ICD selection — Vulkan loader's readdir order is implementation-defined
    per Khronos LoaderDriverInterface, so the '00-' filename prefix is
    not spec-backed (ext4 happens to give insertion-order, other filesystems
    may not). VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT short-circuits readdir ambiguity.
    (Phase 5 review hardening.)

Test result on ohm (pre-push validation):
  - brave-vulkan launches Brave without sandbox bypass
  - seccomp-bpf sandboxes activate normally for utility/renderer processes
  - 'panvk is not a conformant Vulkan implementation' fires ONCE (loader-select
    excluded stock ICD from enumeration — only patched driver loads)
  - GPU process boots, no 'Exiting GPU process' error
  - Brave runs through full test timeout cleanly

README updated to reflect the new install layout + simplified wrapper.

phase8_iteration9_close.md (which iter10 polishes)}.

+
+Without this, Mesa's Zink driver refuses to use PanVk-Bifrost as its Vulkan
+backend, falling back silently to llvmpipe (software rasterizer) for all
+GL-via-Zink on Bifrost SBCs. That defeats the entire purpose of having a
+Vulkan driver on Bifrost — GL acceleration via Zink is the most natural
+near-term consumer.
+
+panvk_vX_nir_lower_descriptors.c:1309 and panvk_vX_shader.c:1355 already
+plumb dev->vk.enabled_features.nullDescriptor arch-agnostically — the gate
+at panvk_vX_physical_device.c was set conservatively when Bifrost was
+unmaintained, not because of hardware incapability.
+
+iter1–7 of the panvk-bifrost campaign proved fundamental driver functions
+on Mali-G52 r1 MC1 (PAN_ARCH=7). This patch is the iter8 follow-up.
+
+robustBufferAccess2 and robustImageAccess2 are NOT flipped — they're
+independent rb2 features Zink doesn't require, gated differently
+(robustBufferAccess2 = PAN_ARCH >= 11, robustImageAccess2 = false), and
+out of scope for iter8.

+Subject: panvk: expose Vulkan 1.1 + 1.2 on Bifrost (PAN_ARCH 6/7)
+
+ANGLE (Chromium's GL stack) requires apiVersion >= 1.1 to initialize. Without
+this, Brave / Chromium's GPU process fails at GL info collection:
+
+  vk_renderer.cpp:2659 (initialize): ANGLE Requires a minimum Vulkan device
+                                     version of 1.1
+  Display::initialize error 0: Internal Vulkan error (-9): The requested
+                               version of Vulkan is not supported by the driver
+
+Stack-up with iter8's robustness2 patch enables ANGLE → PanVk-Bifrost →
+Skia (via --enable-features=Vulkan) on Bifrost SBCs.
+
+PanVk-Bifrost already supports the bulk of 1.1-promoted features as extensions
+(multiview, maintenance1-3, descriptor update template, 16-bit storage,
+descriptor update template, sampler ycbcr, variable pointers, etc. — all
+visible in iter0 vulkaninfo). The version bump primarily bundles them.
+
+Risk: Vulkan 1.1 has features beyond what iter1–7 exercised (protected memory,
+full subgroup ops). Specific app failures will be characterizable.
+
+1.2 is also flipped — Brave's Vulkan path may want descriptor indexing,
+buffer device address, etc. (all listed in iter0 vulkaninfo as supported
+extensions, just gated as 1.0-with-extensions, not 1.2-core).

+#     patches against src/panfrost/vulkan/panvk_vX_physical_device.c:
+#     (1) expose VK_KHR/EXT_robustness2 + nullDescriptor on PAN_ARCH 6/7
+#     (2) set has_vk1_1/has_vk1_2 to true on Bifrost
+#   - Installs the patched libvulkan_panfrost.so to /usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/
+#     (NOT /usr/lib — co-installs alongside stock mesa).
+#   - Registers a custom ICD JSON at a non-default path so the system
+#     Vulkan loader only picks up our driver when VK_ICD_FILENAMES is set.
+#   - Ships /usr/bin/brave-vulkan launcher that wires up env vars + flags.
+#
+# Co-existence: stock /usr/lib/libvulkan_panfrost.so is untouched. Stock
+# /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/panfrost_icd.json is untouched. Users opt in
+# via brave-vulkan (or by setting VK_ICD_FILENAMES manually).
+#
+# Build target: arch-aarch64 runner via marfrit-packages Gitea Actions.
+# Mesa build is slow (~30-60min on Cortex-A55). Build deps installed
+# inside the runner via pacman -S in the workflow.

+# mesa-panvk-bifrost
+
+Patched Mesa `libvulkan_panfrost.so` exposing Bifrost-gen Mali GPUs
+(Mali-G31/G52/G72/G76, PAN_ARCH 6/7) to Chromium-family browsers'
+Vulkan compositor.
+
+Result of the **panvk-bifrost** campaign ([`~/src/panvk-bifrost/`](../../../panvk-bifrost/)),
+iter9 close 2026-05-20 (technical milestone — operator-confirmed Brave
+window) followed by this package as the actual delivery.
+
+## What it solves
+
+Stock Chromium / Brave on Bifrost SBCs (PineTab2, etc.) currently dies
+at GL bindings init:
+
+```
+ERROR: ui/gl/gl_context_egl.cc:120  GLES3 is unsupported and ES version fallback is disabled
+ERROR: ui/gl/init/gl_factory.cc:111  Requested GL implementation not found
+ERROR: components/viz/service/main/viz_main_impl.cc:189  Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
+```
+
+This package makes Brave's **Vulkan compositor path** work on Bifrost,
+side-stepping the failing GL stack. Browser chrome and standard page
+rendering work.
+
+## Known limitations (not addressed)
+
+- **WebGL / WebGL2** in-page: blocked. ANGLE needs `VK_EXT_transform_feedback`
+  to expose GLES3 contexts; PanVk-Bifrost doesn't currently support that.
+  Sites using WebGL will degrade or refuse.
+- **VAAPI hardware video decode**: unrelated to this package — see the
+  `libva-v4l2-request-fourier` package for that path.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+# Ensure [marfrit] is in /etc/pacman.conf, then:
+sudo pacman -Sy mesa-panvk-bifrost
+```
+
+## Use
+
+```sh
+brave-vulkan                                    # launches Brave with Vulkan
+brave-vulkan https://www.example.com
+brave-vulkan --your-flags-here                  # extra args passed through
+```
+
+The launcher sets:
+
+- `PAN_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER=1` (Mesa upstream gate)
+- `MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.2` (apiVersion bump for ANGLE)
+- Brave flags: `--use-gl=disabled --enable-features=Vulkan --use-vulkan=native --ozone-platform=x11 --ignore-gpu-blocklist`
+
+iter10 dropped `VK_ICD_FILENAMES` (ICD now at `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/00-panvk-bifrost.json` so the Vulkan loader auto-picks it, pinned deterministically via `VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT='00-panvk-bifrost*'`) and `--no-sandbox` / `--disable-gpu-sandbox` (env vars survive the GPU sandbox boundary without bypass).
+
+## What's in the package
+
+- `/usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/libvulkan_panfrost.so` — patched Mesa Vulkan driver (Mesa 26.0.6 + 2 sed-applied patches)
+- `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/00-panvk-bifrost.json` — Vulkan ICD JSON pointing at the patched .so (Vulkan loader picks it deterministically via `VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT='00-panvk-bifrost*'` set by the launcher)
+- `/usr/bin/brave-vulkan` — launcher script
+
+System Mesa's binary `/usr/lib/libvulkan_panfrost.so` is untouched. The
+stock `panfrost_icd.json` is also untouched and continues to enumerate
+the same Mali-G52 device — apps see both drivers in
+`vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices` and pick by index (ANGLE picks first, which
+becomes ours by alphabetical priority).
+
+## Co-existence
+
+Both stock Mesa and this package can be installed. Stock Vulkan apps
+(`vulkaninfo`, `vkcube`, etc.) use the stock driver by default. Only
+apps started via `brave-vulkan` (or with `VK_ICD_FILENAMES` manually
+set to our path) use the patched driver.
+
+## Campaign close criterion
+
+Per [`feedback_package_done_means_installable`](file:///home/mfritsche/.claude/projects/-home-mfritsche-src/memory/feedback_package_done_means_installable.md)
+three-point check:
+
+1. PR merged to `marfrit-packages`
+2. CI green AND `packages.reauktion.de/arch/aarch64/mesa-panvk-bifrost-*.pkg.tar.zst` exists
+3. `pacman -Ss mesa-panvk-bifrost` on a fresh consumer host (e.g. ohm
+   after `pacman -Syu` from clean state) returns the package + brave-vulkan launches
+
+When all three pass, panvk-bifrost iter9 closes.

+daedalus-v4l2 (0.1.0+r18+g481279c-1) bookworm trixie; urgency=medium
+
+  * Bump to 481279c.  Upstream landed the systemd unit + modules-load.d
+    drop-in (packaging/systemd/daedalus-v4l2.{service,modules-load}).
+  * Package now ships /lib/systemd/system/daedalus-v4l2.service and
+    /usr/lib/modules-load.d/daedalus-v4l2.conf.
+  * postinst: daemon-reload, enable the service, trigger
+    systemd-modules-load, and start if /dev/daedalus-v4l2 is already
+    present.  Operator no longer needs to remember the modprobe +
+    systemctl-enable dance after install.
+  * prerm/postrm: stop + disable + daemon-reload.
