YuKu's promised screenshot revealed the real section-6 chaos: the live
line 'block + msg + current package' is longer than 80 columns, so
every redraw WRAPPED to a new line instead of overwriting — the screen
filled with duplicate partial progress lines.
The line is now composed once and clamped to $(tput cols) - 2 with an
ASCII '..' tail. 80-col pty run: zero wrapped live lines (the only
>82-char output left is plain-mode dnf, unchanged by design).
YuKu's expanded always-section died at section 6: p7zip was RETIRED
from Fedora 44 (replaced by the official '7zip' package) -> the
compression line's transaction failed -> set -e killed the whole
install after everything before it had already succeeded.
Two changes:
- p7zip -> 7zip in the Compression line (unace/unrar verified fine:
they live in RPM Fusion, which base enables).
- The always-loop now warns in red per failing category line and
continues — same resilience contract as the advanced menu. One
missing package can no longer abort a 30-minute install at the
finish line.
Harness: healthy run installs everything incl. 7zip/mpv/wget; a
deliberately broken compression line produces the red Failed block,
'finished with failures' summary, exit 0, and later categories
(mpv, wget...) still install.
