The suite verifies the finished product: VM runs never use a dev-linked
tree, so the session-environment lookup and own-checkout fallback were
needless indirection. /usr/share/omarchy is the default; a caller testing
a different tree passes OMARCHY_PATH itself.
Run over SSH with no OMARCHY_PATH, the acceptance runner defaulted it to
its own root — wrong in both sync modes omarchy-iso-test uses. With only
test/ synced, the root has no shell or install manifests: omarchy-shell
refuses every call and the package audit passes vacuously against an empty
manifest. With a full tree synced, the path disagrees with the config path
the session shell was started from, and since qs matches instances by that
path, every omarchy-shell call reads as "not running".
The suite acts on the running session, so ask the user manager for the
session's own OMARCHY_PATH first, then fall back to this checkout, then to
the installed tree.
Runs inside a live Omarchy session (typically a VM installed by
omarchy-iso-test) and verifies the desktop actually works: session
health, application launches by window class, and shell surfaces via
IPC — including typing into the launcher and launching the top hit.
