The lists are derived rather than typed. beastix has 512 explicit packages - years of experiments among them - so taking that as "what this machine needs" would be meaningless. curate.sh combines four usage signals, each of which alone has a blind spot: shell history sees no GUI application, KDE's activity database sees no chat client, autostart sees only what starts by itself, and flatpak entries never appear in pacman -Qqe at all. That reduces 512 to 62. The split follows the data: what beastix and shron both have becomes the base, the rest of beastix becomes desktop, shron's own becomes server. base-devel is one entry in the server list rather than its 26 members. It stopped being a package group in 2022 - "pacman -Sg base-devel" now fails outright - and is a meta package today. base, grub and linux-lts are dropped entirely; they arrive with the operating system. packages.sh never removes anything. Extras are reported and left alone, for the same reason the BookStack playbook refuses to: on a server, individual packages carry mail and web services. It avoids process substitution because /bin/sh is dash on Debian and a POSIX-mode bash on macOS, and this has to run on both. Verified on beastix: 62 wanted, 0 missing, 450 extra reported and untouched; install is a no-op. The server list is a snapshot from 2026-08-06 and wants re-reading when shron is reachable again - its login session has since expired. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
