+Never write anything specific to a person's kiosk, network or accounts into
+this repository - not in code, tests, fixtures, docs, comments, commit
+messages, branch names or pull request text.
+
+That includes:
+
+- WiFi network names (SSIDs), passwords, keys and tokens
+- MAC addresses, IP addresses, hostnames and interface names taken from a
+  real machine
+- usernames, email addresses, PINs and passwords
+- the URLs of someone's own sites or services
+- log output, screenshots or terminal output pasted in by a user
+
+When an example, test or fixture needs a value like these, use an obvious
+placeholder (`ExampleNet`, `192.0.2.10`, `aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff`, `wlan0`,
+`example.com`) instead of a real one. When debugging from output a user
+shares, keep it in the conversation or the scratchpad, not in a file in this
+repo, and leave it out of commit messages.

 **About Fn:** the Fn key is handled inside most keyboards and never reaches the computer, so it isn't part of the combo - holding it too does no harm where Fn+W is still W. On compact keyboards where Fn+W is something else (often Up arrow), leave Fn out.
 
-The root part is `/usr/local/bin/kiosk-wifi-helper` (status/scan/connect only), which the kiosk user may run via sudo through `/etc/sudoers.d/kiosk-wifi` - nothing else. Existing kiosks get it with Advanced → Upgrade.
+**More than one WiFi adapter** (e.g. a built-in card and a USB dongle): a *WiFi adapter* dropdown appears at the top, and the status box lists every adapter with what it's connected to. Status, scan and connect act on the one you pick; by default it's the adapter that's connected right now.

+The root part is `/usr/local/bin/kiosk-wifi-helper` (status/scan/connect and region only). The app reaches it through a root-owned socket, `/run/kiosk-wifi-helper.sock` (`kiosk-wifi-helper.socket`, group-restricted to the kiosk user, `0660`), rather than `sudo`: the app can end up running with Linux's "no new privileges" flag, and then sudo refuses with *"The no new privileges flag is set"*. A passwordless-sudo rule (`/etc/sudoers.d/kiosk-wifi`) stays as a fallback. Existing kiosks get both with Advanced → Upgrade.

+# Why a socket and not `sudo`: the kiosk app can end up running with the
+# Linux "no new privileges" flag, and sudo then refuses to run as root
+# ("The 'no new privileges' flag is set"). A root service reached through a
+# socket isn't affected by that flag. Who may connect is decided by the

+# run the helper through the old sudoers rule, no more.
