…uard-off plan wip5 boots on the J314S. Records how: the initramfs must be the working Arch mkinitcpio image retargeted with prepare-trial-initrd.py (mkinitramfs ignores cryptdevice= and died before the passphrase prompt on the first try). Adds stage-wip5.sh doing exactly that, the graphical-unlock (splash) note, and touchid-guard-off.sh: verified dd backup of the xART container and Apple NVMe namespaces, then a separate xart_guard=0 entry. TOUCH-ID-STATE.md points at it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

mseries/aurora/unified72/wip5/README.mdcovers the wip5 boot result, how to install it, whymkinitramfsfailed (the J314S needs its Arch mkinitcpio initramfs retargeted), the graphical-unlock (splash) fix, and the Touch ID state and plan.stage-wip5.shstages a unified72 kernel the way that works:prepare-trial-initrd.pyplus the audit, then a TRIAL GRUB entry copied from the working one.touchid-guard-off.shtakes a verified read-only backup ofnvme0n1p1,nvme0n2andnvme0n3, then adds a separateapple_sep.xart_guard=0wip5 entry.TOUCH-ID-STATE.mdgets a 2026-10-29 pointer.These are docs and scripts only, outside the kernel build paths, so no build runs. The xART images are never committed.
