+**Three rows this page used to claim are not installed**, verified with `pacman -Q` and
+`command -v`: `wlr-randr` (display information is `niri msg outputs` — no package needed, and
+[displays](niri/displays.md) owns that procedure), `qt6-multimedia` (audio reaches PipeWire
+through noctalia's own dependency), and `brightnessctl` (`/sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl1`
+exists and nothing on this box drives it — laptop brightness is a gap to close, not a feature
+to document). A dependency table is a claim about the machine: check it before writing it.
