A live ISO that boots a full Glarion session from USB without touching any disk. Complements the unattended installer ISO (#1) — both artifacts are kept on R2 permanently; the small free-tier overage is accepted.

Plan document (source of truth): Obsidian vault, Personal/Projects/glarion/plans/2026-07-10-live-iso-titanoboa.md.

Checklist:

  • .github/workflows/build-live-iso.yml (workflow_dispatch only, Titanoboa pinned, style matching build-iso.yml)
  • Verify Titanoboa's current action inputs and requirements against upstream — the v0.2 action installs unpinned latest just, and just 1.52+ can't parse v0.2's Justfile (which() moved behind set lists; broke 2026-07-10 when 1.56 shipped). Workflow now checks out Titanoboa at the v0.2 commit SHA and runs just build directly with just pinned to 1.51.0.
  • Checksum migration: per-artifact .sha256 files in both ISO workflows; shared SHA256SUMS removed from the bucket; README verification snippets updated
  • glarion-live.iso built and uploaded to R2 — rebuilt 2026-07-13 with the demo set (Chrome, Steam, Heroic): 6.7 GiB
  • README "Try it live" section, positioned as the recommended first step
  • Boot validated in a VM — QEMU/KVM rig (test-live-iso.yml): GRUB → full KDE desktop in ~2 min, session stable
  • Install-to-disk from the live session: NOT available under v0.2 as built (no Anaconda in image) — live ISO is try-only; migration tracked as #4
  • Validated by booting the live USB on real hardware — UM790 Pro, 2026-07-14: booted perfectly to a working desktop

Hardware validation surfaced three follow-ups (filed separately):

  • No install path from the live session — already tracked, #4
  • Everything is branded Fedora, not just the GRUB menu — #5
  • The base image ships a full KDE app set beyond the intended demo apps — #6

Closing: all deliverables shipped and validated.
