Reboot-persistence and hot-plug become loud durable warnings instead of
refusals, and the --allow-transient flag goes away — there is nothing
left for it to unlock.
The reasoning, recorded in §6.1 so it isn't relitigated: "not in fstab"
and "removable" describe a supported setup, not a broken one — the media
library on a USB disk is a reason to want this feature at all. Refusing
there fails an honest user on their first reasonable attempt and teaches
them to hunt for an override rather than read the warning. We can afford
to allow it because the dangerous moment is start-up, not registration,
and start-up is already gated: no marker, no location, appDir fails and
dockerComposeUp refuses. Blocking at registration buys nothing the
runtime doesn't already enforce.
So the obligation moves from prevent to inform, and "loud" has to mean
durable rather than a toast: the consequence in plain words plus a
ready-to-copy fstab line at registration, a standing badge on the
location for as long as it holds, and a start-up refusal that names the
cause instead of failing generically.
Fitness checks now refuse only when a location cannot work at all
(checks 1-5), never for merely needing care. Wizard cards get three
distinct states, with warned fully selectable and explicitly not
second-class.
Marked the §10.1 gate load-bearing: it is now the only thing between an
unmounted disk and an app rebuilding itself empty, so anything that
relaxes it has to revisit §6.1 as well.
