Mitchell-JohnsonandClaude Fable 5.1 e0e2562f0a Bug bash 6: the phone fits ZFS, Usage and journal lines; a snapshot's default name is local time; twelve smaller faults
Found by a headless pass over every page on every machine at desktop and phone widths, then
every interaction on the hub. BUGS.md has the list, what was checked and found fine, and the
quality-of-life notes to discuss.

Mitchell-JohnsonandClaude Opus 5 03e0761f3e Hardware: a Motherboard card
The board, the chassis and the firmware on it, which the System card was
reducing to two lines. Maker, model, version, serial and asset tag; chassis
and where the board sits in it; the firmware's vendor, version, revision,
date, ROM size and whether the machine boots UEFI — that last one is a line
in SMBIOS's characteristics list rather than a field, so the parser now keeps
those lists too.

Expansion slots come with it, with the device found at each occupied slot's
PCI address rather than the address alone. They are only shown when the
firmware tracks occupancy at all: core's NucBox lists five PCIe x1 slots it
does not physically have, all "Available", copied out of a reference design.
grid's board reports real addresses and real occupancy, which is the case
worth printing.

A machine with no SMBIOS gets a card that says so.

Mitchell-JohnsonandClaude Opus 5 776bcb236d A Hardware tab: what the machine is made of
Per machine, like every other page. Four tiles — processor, memory, storage,
graphics — over a card for each.

Memory is the part that had nowhere to live before: every slot, with the
module's size, type, form factor, rated and running speed, maker, part
number, serial, rank and voltage, and the empty slots marked empty. A module
whose maker is only a JEDEC id gets a name when it is one we know and keeps
the number when it is not, because a wrong name is worse than a code.

Everything is read from what Debian already has: dmidecode for the parts only
the firmware knows, lscpu, lspci, sysfs. None of it changes under a running
kernel, so it is read once and kept for ten minutes; Re-read is for the one
thing that does change, a drive plugged in.

Every reader is allowed to come back empty. A machine with no dmidecode, no
root to read it with, or no PCI bus at all still gets a page, with a note
saying what was missing and why. Checked against the Mac mini, which is all
three cases at once: no SMBIOS memory table, a GPU only the device tree knows
about, and cores that are not all alike — lscpu counts one cluster as "cores
per socket" there, so without SMT the thread count is the honest answer.
