Chromium 151 removed the last Manifest V2 code paths and the Web Store
purged uBlock Origin on 2026-08-31, so ungoogled-chromium 153 cannot load
the full blocker any more. Helium (GPL-3, ungoogled-chromium base) bundles
uBO 1.75.0 as a component extension and keeps MV2 alive.
- installers/install_helium.sh: pacman deps, AUR via yay or makepkg
(+validpgpkeys import), /usr/local/bin/helium-browser ->
browser-preexec-wrapper so LeechBlock NG and the hosts refresh still
apply, --clone-profile with a downgrade check and running-browser
refusal, then the verifier. Passed in vmbox from scratch, then host.
- installers/verify_helium.py: Xvfb + DevTools exit-code gate — uBO
background_page + manifest_version 2, every /etc/chromium/policies key
on chrome://policy (Helium reads that dir natively), adblock-tester >= 95.
- installers/migrate_helium_passwords_to_basic.py: lightdm autologin
leaves gnome-keyring locked, so the 5 v11 logins make Helium prompt on
every launch; this re-encrypts them as v10 and only then enables
--password-store=basic.
- register helium-browser in aur_packages.txt and the periodic browser
wrapper/service lists; pylint hook gets websockets + cryptography;
codespell learns the vendor name; anthropic 1.6.0 -> 1.7.0 (gate red);
oldest evidence artifact pruned to stay under the 60-file cap.

Also bumps the 16 meta/requirements pins the freshness gate flagged
(anthropic 1.5.0, numpy 2.5.3, pytest-randomly 5, flake8-bugbear 26.9.9,
ruff 0.16.7, pyright 1.1.414, selenium 4.49.0, hypothesis 6.168.0, lxml
6.1.3, pipdeptree 4.2.5, the two types-* stubs) and Flutter 3.47.3 in
meta/.fvmrc. One test still expected the pre-move ~/mcp-servers path.
The pre-commit hook fed .zsh files to shfmt and shellcheck, neither of
which parses zsh (SC2148/SC1071), so no zsh file could be committed since
the hook was tightened on 2026-08-22; those now get `zsh -n` instead. The
hook's own shfmt pass also staged its reformat of 8 shell files.
CI_GREEN_SKIP because main is red on exactly the dependency-freshness
finding this commit fixes, which is the documented use of that flag.

Already red before today's Python work touched the repo; the commit hook had no
reason to look at the requirements files, so only a whole-tree run saw it.
Bumped across every repo pinning 7.15.4 in the same pass.

python-tests.yml runs pytest and nothing else, but installed the full
requirements.txt -- 79 packages, of which ~62 are linters, formatters and
type checkers that job never invokes. Installing them was the workflow's
slowest step: 49s, against 35s actually running the tests.
meta/requirements-test.txt holds the 17 that matter. Derived by static
import analysis over python_pkg/ and linux_configuration/tests/, then
VERIFIED rather than assumed -- a clean Python 3.11 venv with only this
list runs the whole suite:
2174 passed, TOTAL 100.00%, 7138 stmts / 1748 branches, 0 missing
identical to the full-requirements run. Install of the subset: 6.2s.
The pytest-* entries are in the list even though nothing imports them:
randomly reorders tests, timeout enforces a limit, sugar changes
reporting and xdist provides -n. Dropping one changes how the suite runs.
Drift is gated, not left to discipline: a new requirements-test-sync hook
reuses check_requirements_sync.py's existing --requirements flag, so a
new third-party import fails at commit time rather than as a bare
ModuleNotFoundError in CI. The new file is also in both path filters.
pre-commit.yml keeps the full list -- it needs every formatter.
