When update or install.sh fails and there's a terminal, ask whether to
send its log to the CoreDesktop team, with the option of reading exactly
what would be sent first. Nothing is sent without a yes, and nothing is
asked without a terminal. The new report command sends a log later
(report, report FILE) or shows what would be sent (report --view).
Before sending, the log is cleaned of terminal codes, and the home
folder, user name, host name, email addresses, IPv4 addresses and
Tailscale names are replaced. CoreDesktop's version, the kernel's, the
failed steps and sibling versions go along with it. The request format
the receiver on federated.sh implements is described at the top of
report.

Each run's output now goes to ~/.local/state/coredesktop/logs/, so what
failed can be read after the terminal is gone. In a terminal, update runs
itself under script(1), so everything it runs still sees a terminal, then
strips color codes and progress redraws from the log; otherwise it uses
tee. install.sh, usually piped into bash, uses tee, and runs configure
straight on the terminal, outside the log. Both name the log when
something fails. 95-cleanup.sh keeps the newest 10 update logs and 3
install logs.
The sudo keepalive loops no longer share the logged output, so their
sleep can't hold the log open after the run ends.

archinstall's "Copy ISO network configuration", which a user who connected
with iwctl may pick, turns on iwd and systemd-networkd. CoreDesktop then
turns on NetworkManager too, and after a restart two services fight over
the Wi-Fi card. system/wifi.sh disables iwd and systemd-networkd, without
stopping them, when NetworkManager is enabled and isn't set to use iwd
itself. install.sh runs it, and a migration runs it on existing machines.
The README tells users to choose NetworkManager in archinstall.

install.sh now stops early, with a clear message, if this isn't 64-bit
Arch, it's run as root, there's no internet, or sudo doesn't work.
system/preflight.sh then asks before going on with too little disk space
or / not on btrfs, and offers to switch another login screen to GDM and
PulseAudio to PipeWire. Keeping another login screen puts GDM in
services-off, so install and update stop failing to enable it; a
migration does the same on existing machines. It says nothing when all
is well, as refresh runs install.sh again.
Intel GPUs also get intel-media-driver for hardware video decoding, with
a migration for existing machines.
The mise migration links ~/.local/bin/mise to /usr/bin/mise instead of
deleting it, so shells opened before the update don't print an error at
every prompt.

`sibling` asks for a git URL, clones the repo into
~/.local/share/siblings/<name>, runs its install.sh and confirms the
install. `sibling list` and `sibling remove` manage installed siblings.
updates.d/71-siblings.sh pulls every sibling during `update` and runs
its update.sh, reporting failures in the update summary.
Document the sibling contract in skills/sibling-project-format.md and
update the custom-hook guide to match.
