yajl (needed by conmon, bootstrapped from source since Slackware ships
no package for it) builds via CMake, not the cmake-free autoconf script
its ./configure wrapper name suggests. Tracing the failure through the
actual vbatts/slackware:15.0 image on the runner host surfaced a chain
of packages slackpkg does not auto-resolve (Slackware packages carry no
dependency metadata at all): cmake needs libarchive, which needs lz4 and
libxml2; the patched make/gmake this mirror serves needs guile, which
needs gc; compiling anything needs kernel-headers for <linux/errno.h>;
and this build's binutils (ar/ranlib) needs flex, while objdump needs
elfutils. All added to the same slackpkg install list as the rest of
the toolchain, keeping everything on one mutually consistent version
set. Verified end-to-end against vbatts/slackware:15.0 on the actual
runner host at each step of this dependency chain.

The build-packages.yml run was failing for two compounding reasons,
found by testing directly against vbatts/slackware:15.0 on the actual
runner host:
1. The image ships neither git nor its HTTPS runtime libs, so
actions/checkout failed immediately.
2. It's a minimal rootfs with none of the 'D' (development) series —
no gcc, make, autoconf, pkg-config, curl, glib2, libcap, or fuse3 —
contrary to setup-slackware-buildenv.sh's assumption that a "full"
Slackware install already provides these.
An earlier fix attempt hand-pinned git + its deps (nghttp2, brotli,
cyrus-sasl) by exact file + SHA256 from the base 15.0 release
directory. That drifted out of sync with the newer, patched curl
slackpkg installs later in the same container — same shared library,
two different builds, causing a runtime symbol lookup error. Both
steps now resolve every package through slackpkg's own prioritized
mirror instead, keeping the whole toolchain on one mutually consistent
version set. Verified end-to-end (git ls-remote and curl both succeed
over HTTPS against the real Gitea instance, full toolchain present)
in a fresh vbatts/slackware:15.0 container.

- versions.env pins podman, conmon, crun, netavark, aardvark-dns, passt,
and fuse-overlayfs to verified upstream source checksums; SlackBuild
recipes, scripts/build-packages.sh, checksums.sh, release.sh, and
update-versions.sh implement the reproducible pipeline; GitHub Actions
workflows build in a Slackware container and publish releases without
committing any binaries.
- plugin/podman.plg installs/updates/removes all eight packages (the
seven components plus the plugin's own unraid-podman scaffolding
package) via upgradepkg, using the official Unraid array-event hook
mechanism (event/disks_mounted, event/stopping) instead of editing
/boot/config/go. rc.podman and the sbin/ helper scripts implement
storage creation, config seeding/sync, preflight checks, autostart
with per-container Safe-Mode, and package verify/update/rollback.
- webui/plugins/podman implements the Dashboard, Containers, Pods,
Images, Volumes, Networks, Logs, Terminal, Compose, and Settings
panels against the approved mockup (webui/mockups/prototype.html),
talking to podman system service exclusively via PodmanClient.php
(libpod REST API over the Unix socket), with two documented
exceptions: Terminal's one-shot exec model and Compose's use of the
podman compose CLI, since libpod has no REST equivalent for either.
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md and docs/ROADMAP.md record the design decisions
and honest current status (syntax-checked, unit- and
integration-tested against fake sockets/servers; not yet run against
a real Unraid/Podman/Slackware system).
