## 🚧 Minor Issues Found
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Component Installation Status**
|
|
**Severity**: Low
|
|
**Description**: No components currently installed or adoptable
|
|
**Impact**: Limited functionality until components are available
|
|
**Status**: Expected for fresh Debian installation
|
|
**Note**: This is normal for systems not yet converted to atomic
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Service Dependency**
|
|
**Severity**: Low
|
|
**Description**: Requires systemd PID 1 to run properly
|
|
**Impact**: Some commands may fail in container environments
|
|
**Status**: Expected behavior, not an issue
|
|
**Note**: This is correct for system service management
