Decision Snapshot

Problem solved

It solves the need for a visually appealing, highly customizable, and performant Wayland compositor that is independent of other compositor frameworks like wlroots or KWin.

Deployment reality

The available setup signal starts with: See https://wiki.hypr.land/Getting-Started/Installation/. Treat this as a starting point, then ask Codex or Claude to inspect the README, environment variables, runtime version, and deployment target before production use.

Commercial use

The recorded license is BSD-3-Clause. This is a useful commercial-use signal, but teams should still verify license text, dependencies, model/API terms, and trademark constraints.

Capability ceiling

hyprwm/Hyprland still needs a clearer capability analysis. Use the metadata as a discovery signal, not as a production recommendation.
