Refuse recommends in the base package block, and name the one that was load-bearing The client package block passed `--setopt=install_weak_deps=False` and the base block did not, so the profile meant to be lean accepted recommends while the fat one refused them. The asymmetry survived because a recommend is by definition a package nobody named: nothing in the file mentioned any of them, so there was nothing to read. Measured against fedora-bootc:43 with terra and varlad/yazi, the base list resolved to 142 packages and 199 MiB with recommends on, and 114 and 98 MiB with them off. helix is what recommends the C toolchain; helix and gopass between them recommend wl-clipboard, xsel, xdg-utils and libX11, none of which can run on a headless box. `helix-parsers` is the reason this is not a one-line change. It is also a recommend, 185 MiB of tree-sitter grammars, and it is what makes the editor highlight anything, so the flag alone would have shipped an editor that renders every file as plain text and said nothing about why. It is named explicitly now. Verified on the built client: 245 grammars on disk, and wl-clipboard, cliphist, Xwayland, sway and greetd all still present. Verified on the built server: gcc-c++, libstdc++-devel, xsel, xdg-utils, libX11 and man-pages absent, helix-parsers present. gcc, cpp, binutils and make are still there and that is correct: LANGS defaults to rust and is unconditional, so the C compiler is a language decision rather than a recommend, which is what the LANGS block already says. `fish` stays. gopass requires it outright, 39.3 MiB, and no flag touches a hard dependency. Written into the comment so the next person does not re-measure it. One method note, because the next person will reach for the same command and get the same wrong answer: `dnf repoquery --whatrequires <pkg>` lists every package in the distribution that requires it, not the ones in your own list. Read that way it says yazi pulls gcc, which is false. Resolving each package on its own is what answers the question. Also corrects the group comment above the list, which still said anything absent from Fedora and Terra is downloaded directly, naming the Nerd Fonts layer that no longer exists. Findings from the same pass are GoingsOn alloy problems 80ffb289 (the server carries both house faces with nothing able to draw them) and 3d41d15a (four fetches of the Atkinson bases per build).
