Alt rejected: temp-dir + tarball download (no git dep) — kept git path, simpler + repo
needs git anyway. Risk noted: curl|bash runs unreviewed remote code (archetype pain point);
mitigated by HTTPS + pinned branch + manual fallback in README, not eliminated. Status: done.
## BDR-005 — Remote desktop via gnome-remote-desktop --system, not xrdp
2026-06-23. Target machine = Wayland-only GNOME (Shell asserts XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland). xrdp's
Xorg backend can't satisfy it → session dies instantly on login. Chose gnome-remote-desktop system
"Remote Login" (GNOME-native, Wayland, RDP 3389, TLS, fresh GDM session). Auth 2-layer: shared gate
creds (`set-credentials`) → per-user GDM PAM; gate creds required else mstsc 0x904 (BLK-004).
Implemented install.sh `setup_remote_desktop` + `ensure_rdp_credentials`. Connection confirmed live.
Alts rejected: (a) force Xorg GDM + xrdp — sacrifices Wayland desktop, fragile; (b) VNC (wayvnc) —
RDP preferred (mstsc native on Win client, TLS); (c) g-r-d user "Desktop Sharing" mode — shares
existing local session, wanted independent headless login. See LRN-004, BLK-004. Status: done.
