+openSUSE and Arch are **supported**; Alpine is **supported** for everything
+the non-systemd scope claims, with the narrower `sessionSandbox: auto` scope.
+
+**Debian is verified end to end**: the four harness-level probes
+(`run.sh`, `terminal.sh`, `picker.sh`, `fs-routing.sh`) also pass against a
+`wslfs-debian` profile (2026-10-26), on top of the distro-internal suite —
+the full stack, not just the in-distro half.
+
+## The found first-run trap: missing workspace root
+
+The Debian harness-level runs surfaced one real finding: **the confined
+resident refuses to start when the workspace root does not exist yet**. The
+bwrap profile binds the workspace root (`--bind <root> <root>`), bwrap
+requires the bind source to exist, and on a freshly imported distro the
+probe's workspace (`~/.dsh-fsprobe`) did not. `mkdir -p` of the root turns
+all ten failing steps green. Every prior Ubuntu run had the directory left
+over from earlier probes, which is why the trap never fired there. Any
+workspace whose directory is created lazily by its first write hits the same
+wall on a fresh distro. Fixed in aa12b49: the confined factory's prepare
+hook now creates the root (`mkdir -p`) before bwrap runs, the handshake
+failure carries the resident's stderr when one still occurs, and
+`substrate.sh` gained a fresh-root leg that spawns the resident against an
+absent workspace root on every run, verified on both Debian (glibc) and
+Alpine (musl).
+
+## The two explained differences
+
+- **`session-sandbox.sh`, background-survival leg (Fedora, openSUSE, Arch).**
+  The same systemd distros split on this check when driven through `wsl.exe`
+  (Debian passes, the other three do not): the probe allows a 0.5 s window and
+  the WSL session teardown races it. This is a probe-context artifact, not a
+  plugin claim — the plugin's background-process guarantee rides on systemd
+  transient scopes, whose legs the probe itself marks "run from a WSL
+  terminal". On Alpine the same leg fails **by declaration**: without systemd
+  the plugin does not promise background survival, and `sessionSandbox: auto`
+  reports the narrower per-command scope instead.
+
+- **`watch.sh` on Alpine (5/5).** Two checks exercised the inotify fast path
+  on the other distros and the polling fallback there; both behaviours are
+  shipped and both are asserted, so the lower count reflects fewer exercised
+  paths on that kernel/libc, not a weaker promise.
+
+## Tier 2 setup notes (the traps, so the next import does not rediscover them)
+
+| Distro | Setup that mattered |
+|---|---|
+| Debian | First launch can wedge before OOBE completes (`wsl.exe` exec and `--terminate` both hang). `wsl --terminate <distro>` once it is Stopped, then start as root to bypass OOBE. systemd is PID 1 out of the box. |
+| Alpine | Import the **minirootfs** tarball (`wsl --import`), not the standard/cloud images. Create a normal user and set `[user] default=…` in `/etc/wsl.conf` — the imported default is root, and a root agent writes 0600 files the probe user cannot read. Install `coreutils util-linux` (busybox `mktemp`/`ps` lack the used options) and `shadow` for `useradd`. |
+| Fedora / openSUSE / Arch | systemd PID 1 out of the box. openSUSE: `zypper --non-interactive` (the plain `-y` still prompts); Arch: `pacman -Sy --needed`. |
+
+Dependencies used everywhere: `bash bubblewrap git nodejs` (node 20–26 all
+pass; the plugin's `engines` floor applies to the harness host, not to probe
+nodes). The probe runner per distro, from inside the distro:
+
+```sh
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Big-Dao/dsh-plugin-wsl-env.git
+cd dsh-plugin-wsl-env
+for p in sandbox session-sandbox agent exec substrate watch; do bash test/probe/$p.sh; done
+```
+
+The harness-level probes (`run.sh`, `terminal.sh`, `picker.sh`,
+`fs-routing.sh`) additionally need the app closed and the throwaway `wslfs`
+profile from `run.sh`'s header; on a second distro, copy that profile and set
+its `distro:` key.
+
+## Scope decisions
+
+- **aarch64 is verified in VM only; physical hardware is out of scope
+  (decided 2026-10-27).** The qemu-user CI leg executes the full 18-check
+  suite against the shipped binary on every push, which covers the agent's
+  own code paths; what only real hardware can add is exposure to aarch64
+  silicon's edge cases, which no Windows-on-ARM device in this project's
+  reach provides. The support table marks aarch64 "supported (executed in
+  CI)" and stays that way.
+
+- **Windows 10 is not separately verified (decided 2026-10-27).** The plugin's
+  entire surface is `wsl.exe`, the distro, and a UNC share; on WSL2 those are
+  the same components on Windows 10 as on Windows 11, and the version-specific
+  behaviour lives upstream in WSL itself, not in anything this plugin mounts.
+  Windows 11 is what the matrix above measures; a Win10 report is welcomed
+  through the support channels, but no separate verification is planned.
+
+## Not yet measured
+
+- Non-systemd session scopes driven by a real WSL terminal session (the
+  probe's skipped legs).
+- ~~Container images~~ — closed 2026-10-27: `test/agent-container.mjs` runs
+  the real shell agent inside `debian:stable-slim`, `alpine:3`, `fedora:latest`,
+  `opensuse/tumbleweed` and `archlinux` containers in CI (the
+  `agent-containers` job, one per image), 7 checks each — handshake with the
+  in-place digest, PING, EXEC with exit and both streams, SETENV, and the
+  presence of `sha256sum`/`base64` where the families actually differ
+  (busybox on Alpine vs coreutils elsewhere). 35/35 on first execution.
