make test-smoke # dry probes only (fast, no installs)
make test-smoke RUN_SMOKE=1 # + real pacman installs of the term packages
make test-smoke # real pacman install of the term packages + verify
make test-smoke REAL_SMOKE=0 # dry probes only (fast, no installs)
make test-smoke RUN_SMOKE=1 RUN_FULL=1 # + AUR/npm + hypr/kreation/buntes-monster
make test-smoke SKIP_NET=1 # skip anything that contacts the network

In the `REAL_SMOKE=1` (default) install path, the harness additionally
**verifies the installed packages** (`test/verify_packages.sh`):
- every `@pacman` entry is confirmed via `pacman -Q <pkg>` (covers fonts,
libs and python modules that ship no binary),
- a curated mapping probes each package's binary with a real
`--version`-style call (e.g. `fish --version`, `nvim --version`,
`ssh -V`), failing if the binary is missing or does not report a version.

**When in doubt:** run `stow --verbose --simulate <target>` first — it prints what would happen (linking) without changing anything. Never `rm -rf` the `~/.config` of something you still want to keep; move it to a backup directory instead.
