# Zed Vulkan Handoff

**From:** Pi ISO Developer
**Date:** 20.maj.2026
**Status:** IN-PROGRESS — AMD Vulkan proof recorded; Intel and Zed policy remain open

## Deletion Criteria

- [ ] Latest operator USB image boots to SDDM/XFCE on Intel hardware.
- [ ] `vulkaninfo --summary` succeeds on Intel hardware and output is recorded.
- [x] Latest operator USB image boots to SDDM/XFCE on AMD/Ryzen hardware.
- [x] `vulkaninfo --summary` succeeds on AMD/Ryzen hardware and output is
      recorded in `doc/AMD-ASUS-XFCE-LIVE-USB-FINDINGS.md`.
- [ ] Operator decides Zed telemetry / AI-provider default posture before any
      move from disk-install extras to live rootfs.

## Tasks

- [x] Keep baseline live editor stack lightweight: Mousepad + Geany + Micro.
- [x] Add `vulkan-tools` to the live image so Codex ISO Builder can test Vulkan without
      installing extra packages.
- [x] Park `zed-editor` in `pkg-list-disk-install-extras.txt`, not live rootfs.
- [ ] Codex ISO Builder: run Intel Vulkan check:

  ```sh
  vulkaninfo --summary
  ```

- [x] Codex ISO Builder / Operator: AMD/Ryzen Vulkan check passed on ASUS ZenBook UX325UA:

  ```text
  AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV RENOIR)
  Mesa 24.1.7
  ```

- [ ] Codex ISO Builder: if `vulkaninfo --summary` fails, capture:

  ```sh
  pciconf -lv | grep -B3 -A4 -E 'VGA|display'
  kldstat | grep -E 'drm|i915|amdgpu|radeon'
  ls -l /dev/dri
  dmesg | tail -120
  ```

## Results (fill in when done)

- Build: pending
- Tests: partial hardware proof recorded
- Intel Vulkan: pending
- AMD/Ryzen Vulkan: pass — RADV RENOIR shown by `vulkaninfo --summary`
- Bugs found: none for AMD Vulkan path

## Open Questions

- Should Zed Assistant be disabled by default, pointed at the same provider keys
  as `pi`/`codex`, or left unconfigured for installed systems only?
- Is Zed worth live-rootfs size after Vulkan proof, or should it remain a
  disk-install/offline-repo extra?

## Delete After

Delete this file after both Intel and AMD Vulkan results are recorded and the
Zed telemetry / AI-provider posture is decided:

```sh
git rm doc/ZED-VULKAN-HANDOFF.md
```
