Unretouched QEMU monitor screendumps of the legacy v1.0.0-nur XFCE and KDE ISOs (TCG emulation) taken during release QA boots. The Hidayah night wallpaper, branded boot splash, live identity (user “hidayah”), Sovereign Shield DNS (active at boot with a 132-domain seed blocklist) and the hidayah-doctor self-test — PASS=31, FAIL=0 on the release build — are exactly what the ISOs ship. Nothing was mocked up.
