 ## Area-Specific Notes
 - `profile_desktop_common` manages shared Void desktop bootstrap, `emptty`, PAM hooks, dotfiles, mail bootstrap, and shared desktop tooling
+- Void desktop user services now use `turnstile` with runit-backed definitions under `dotfiles/desktop/.config/service/`; session launchers refresh the shared turnstile env for GUI-aware services such as `emacs`
+- `ssh-agent` on Void desktops now runs under a separate always-on per-user runsvdir rooted at `~/.local/runit/current`, with a stable socket under `~/.local/state/ssh-agent/socket`
 - `profile_desktop_i3` contains the X11/i3 session pieces
 - `profile_desktop_sway` contains the wlroots/Sway session pieces and deploys shared Sway + Waybar dotfiles
 - `profile_desktop_hyprland` contains the optional Hyprland/Wayland session pieces

 - sessione i3 su tutti i desktop Void e sessioni Sway/Hyprland opzionali su `nymph`
 - `emptty` con scelta sessione a login su `nymph` e default host-specific sugli altri desktop
 - pacchetti Void Linux e servizi runit
+- `turnstile` per servizi utente agganciati alla sessione, incluso `emacs` come server per `emacsclient`
+- `ssh-agent` come servizio runit utente always-on con socket stabile condiviso tra shell, SSH ed Emacs
 - Flatpak con remoto Flathub
 - GNOME Keyring e bootstrap della posta via script dedicato
 - `Waybar` separata per compositor (`config-sway.jsonc` e `config-hyprland.jsonc`) con `style.css` condiviso
