+# kernel-agent manifest for ohm (PineTab2 / Rockchip RK3566 + BES2600 SDIO WiFi/BT)
+#
+# Status: scaffolding from 2026-05-16. Patches/scopes are mirrored;
+# the build pipeline (cumulative-patch generation, makepkg invocation,
+# sign+publish) still relies on the hand-managed flow in
+# boltzmann:~/src/besser/marfrit-besser/danctnix-besser-pkgbuild/kernel/.
+# Once ka-promote / ka-build land, switch this manifest to authoritative
+# and retire the boltzmann-side checkouts (canonical + the orphan at
+# ~/src/besser/danctnix-besser-pkgbuild/ that the fourier-campaign
+# sibling agent accidentally created).
+#
+# See kernel-agent issue #5 for the full migration plan.

+host: ohm
+arch: arm64
+soc: rockchip/rk3566
+board: pinetab2
+distro: archlinux-arm  # DanctNIX PineTab2 variant on Arch Linux ARM aarch64
+
+baseline:
+  tree: DanctNIX/linux-pinetab2
+  url: https://codeberg.org/DanctNIX/linux-pinetab2
+  ref: v7.0-danctnix1  # _srcname=linux-pinetab2 _srctag=v${pkgver%.*}-${pkgver##*.}
+  upstream_compat: linux-7.0  # DanctNIX rebases off mainline + per-tablet delta
+
+# Scope-tagged patch includes. Resolves to patches/<scope>/<file>.patch.
+#
+# Series-ordering note: the current cumulative-patch generation order on
+# boltzmann is A, B, C v3, F, G, D, E, C2, c5.x, c6.x, c7, H — explicitly
+# NOT alphabetical. ka-promote MUST honor an apply_order field when
+# concatenating series into the build's per-job cumulative patch. The
+# legend mapping series-letter → series-name lives in the current
+# danctnix-besser-pkgbuild changelog on boltzmann; promote to this
+# manifest once auto-generation is wired.
+#
+# DanctNIX siblings (-danctnix suffix) are selected here because ohm
+# runs on the DanctNIX kernel base; the non-suffixed variants exist for
+# vanilla mainline consumers that ohm doesn't currently have.

+# OPEN — kernel-agent CLI work blocking full migration:
+#
+# 1. ka-promote: read includes[] above + apply_order field (to be added),
+#    concatenate referenced series into a single .patch in the build dir.
+#    Validate it applies cleanly on baseline.ref. Compute b2sum for
+#    template substitution.
+#
+# 2. PKGBUILD template renderer: stamp pkgrel, ${_cumulative_b2sum},
+#    ${_srctag} from manifest into a PKGBUILD draft at the
+#    template_at location. Sign + publish to packages.reauktion.de.
+#
+# 3. Orphan retirement: surface ~/src/besser/danctnix-besser-pkgbuild/
+#    (NO remote, ~/src/besser/marfrit-besser/... is canonical) to
+#    Markus / fourier campaign for working-state migration BEFORE
