An apt install of dbus-x11 and upower was added in October 2025 to reduce Percy instability, bundled in one commit with a Monaco test waiter and a Percy config change. Every Percy cause diagnosed since has been somewhere else — a module-level panel-width singleton, the discovery browser's font cache — so whether these packages still earn their place has never been tested. They are not free. This is the last apt call left in the workflow, and so the only remaining reason Ubuntu's mirrors sit on its critical path. upower alone brings six dependencies, four of them iOS device libraries, so that a headless runner can report the battery level of a phone that is not attached. The tests still run under `dbus-run-session`. If the image does not provide it the step fails immediately with a command-not-found rather than hanging, so this is inexpensive to be wrong about; the probe that replaces the install records what the image actually ships either way.

Percy only runs when a pull request touches packages/host, boxel-ui, boxel-icons, base or runtime-common. This branch changes a workflow file alone, so Percy was skipped — and since the D-Bus helpers were installed specifically to reduce Percy instability, the first green run validated everything except the thing the experiment exists to test. A comment in the host README flips that gate without altering behaviour, and without matching the narrower render-path list that would also force a from-scratch index. Remove before merge.

The previous run's Percy result was inconclusive, so this takes another sample of the same tree. No content change.
The previous two builds reported differing counts of visual changes on an identical tree. Those snapshots have since been accepted, so this samples the same tree once more: a clean build means the earlier counts were baseline drift rather than run-to-run variance. No content change.
The previous build was clean against the accepted baseline. This repeats it on the same tree to confirm that was stable rather than a single friendly comparison. No content change.
