NoxForge v5.0.0

NoxForge 5.0.0

NoxForge 5.0.0 evolves Industrial Precision into a complete, measurable dark
visual system for Fedora KDE 44, Plasma 6.7+, Qt 6.11 and Wayland.

Visual system

• Schema-v4 semantic design tokens with complete interaction-state, contrast,
  elevation, overlay, shadow and reduced-motion contracts.
• Expanded native Qt 6 control rendering with LTR/RTL geometry, high-DPI
  coverage, safe QCommonStyle fallbacks and authentic widget galleries.
• All 43 targeted Plasma widget families generated from versioned semantic
  recipes and qualified across states, panel edges and four scale factors.
• Original 16:9 and ultrawide wallpapers, 185 scalable system icons, 196
  optical variants, physical multi-size cursors and 32 normalized sounds.
• Refined SDDM, Splash, Logout, KWin TabBox and Aurorae surfaces with bounded
  text, keyboard structure, RTL layouts and reduced-motion behavior.

Qualification

• The authoritative source/archive/RPM release gate passes 90 Python tests,
  18 CTest cases, QML lint, deterministic archive generation and rpmlint
  with zero errors and zero warnings.
• AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer pass all 18 CTest cases.
• Accessibility review covers contrast, system fonts, keyboard/RTL structure,
  scale compositions, reduced motion and non-color state indicators.
• Gallery startup, control rendering and QML first-frame medians remain within
  the ten-percent Phase 0 performance budget.
• Isolated KWin/Plasma Wayland qualification passes theme application, exact
  panel preservation, all panel edges, two outputs, shell artwork, required
  icon clarity and real Qt composition at 100 and 140 percent.

Honest limitations

Hardware-composited blur, injected keyboard and pointer transitions, live RTL,
a held visible Alt+Tab cycle, isolated audio routing, production splash
integration and real SDDM authentication or power actions remain explicitly
blocked by the available environment. Offscreen evidence is not promoted to
live evidence.

Installation

Enable loofitheboss/noxforge on Fedora 44 and install noxforge, then run
rpm -V noxforge and noxforge-doctor. Package installation and removal do
not apply the theme, change panels, activate SDDM, clear caches or restart
Plasma. Select NoxForge explicitly in System Settings.
