Follow-up to #74. Two concrete fixes to the "identity wallpaper on join" step:
1. tmp policy: the join script hardcoded WP=/tmp/clawdie-wallpaper.png, passing
it to clawdie-wallpaper-gen and overriding the safe SCRATCH_DIR default that
9ae8d25 had just introduced (project-local tmp/ or app-owned cache). The
generator now prints its chosen path on stdout (human note → stderr) and the
join script captures it: WP=$(clawdie-wallpaper-gen). No host-global /tmp.
2. wallpaper actually applies: replaced the hardcoded
/backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image with an enumeration over
every existing */last-image property (XFCE keys backdrops by connector name,
e.g. monitorHDMI-1, not monitor0), falling back to creating the default
property on first boot/headless, then xfdesktop --reload.
SKILL.md updated to document the stdout contract and multi-monitor wiring.
Validation: sh -n on both scripts; prettier@3 --check SKILL.md;
python3 scripts/layered_soul.py validate . — all pass.

- Panel indicator: add have() checks for nc/python3, warn on missing
deps instead of failing silently, distinct states for socket-down
vs no-response with actionable tooltip text
- Join Hive: generate and apply identity wallpaper on success as
visual 'you're in' confirmation via xfconf-query
- SKILL.md: document new behaviors

Three improvements for the Clawdie ISO first-boot desktop:
1. Panel health indicator (xfce4-genmon)
- polls colibri socket every 30s
- green/red dot + agent count + task count
- click to open colibri status in terminal
2. Identity wallpaper generator
- overlays hostname, Tailscale IP, Colibri port, FreeBSD release
- runs on first boot, caches result
- requires ImageMagick (add to ISO pkg list)
3. Join Hive launcher
- one-click agent registration in visible terminal
- checks daemon → vault creds → detect capabilities → register
- idempotent, safe to re-run
- pauses on result so operator reads before closing
All three scripts + skill.md + desktop entry in skills/iso-visuals/.
