LivOS Desktop WSL rootfs v2 — slim Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for the Livinity Desktop installer (Phase 4).
CHANGE vs v1: /etc/wsl.conf now sets [interop] appendWindowsPath=false. Without it the Windows PATH bleeds into the distro, so install.sh's command -v pnpm finds Windows pnpm (/mnt/c/...npm/pnpm), skips installing the Linux pnpm, then runs the Windows binary on Linux paths and the livinityd build fails with exit 1 (live-diagnosed 2026-07-10). A self-contained LivOS box must never see the Windows PATH. v1 is superseded — do not use it.
Recipe (unchanged otherwise): official Ubuntu noble WSL base (Canonical-SHA-verified) + systemd wsl.conf + uid-1000 livinity user (no OOBE) + wsl-distribution.conf (shortcut/terminal disabled) + resolv.conf removed + tar --numeric-owner.
sha256(livinity.wsl) = 121293686380669964a47cf44f154f63d05aa6af52bdd95dcc0fd2fe1760a2ef (pinned in desktop/src/main/wsl/distro-install.ts).
Smoke-verified on WSL 2.6.2: fresh import, Windows PATH absent from distro PATH, command -v pnpm empty, PID1=systemd, uid 1000.
NOT an app release: --latest=false so box updates keep resolving /releases/latest to the newest vXX.Y tag.
