Orion vault — clean initial history

Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on
2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext
password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history.
Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

+# Emulator can't find AVDs created by avdmanager (path mismatch)
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-13 · **Machine:** Framework Laptop (Arch/Omarchy, pacman Android toolchain)
+
+## Symptom
+`avdmanager list avd` shows the AVD, but `emulator -avd <name>` says it doesn't exist / finds none.
+
+## Diagnosis path
+1. `avdmanager list avd` vs `ls ~/.android/avd` — mismatch: the toolchain is inconsistent about where AVDs live.
+2. Pacman's `avdmanager` writes AVDs + ini files to `~/.config/.android/` while `emulator` reads `~/.android/`.
+
+## Fix
+Copy (or symlink) the AVD dir and its `.ini` from `~/.config/.android/avd/` into `~/.android/avd/`, and make sure the ini's `path=` points at the new location. Emulator sees them immediately.
+
+## Environment facts
+- gradle 9.7 + kotlin 2.4 via pacman; adb + scrcpy installed.
+- Test device: Pixel 8 Pro, adb serial `3A251FDJG0067W`.
