Re-diagnosis of the "btrfs-assistant 2.2 segfaults on launch" bug, and the fix is not the planned nixpkgs override: 1. gdb: the crash is btrfs_util_subvolume_iterator_next() — libbtrfsutil's UNPRIVILEGED subvolume-iteration path in btrfs-progs 6.17.1 (upstream-fixed after 6.17.1, kdave/btrfs-progs 886571653). Symbol versions were checked and match: not ABI/link drift. 2. VM A/B on real btrfs: as root it works (exit 0); as a user it segfaults (139). The pkexec launcher runs it as root — so the GUI path was fine all along, except… 3. …the distro shipped NO polkit authentication agent: every pkexec prompt in the session failed silently. That is the actual root cause of "the GUI doesn't open". Shipped: hyprpolkitagent (Hyprland's Qt agent — the prompt is Stylix-themed) via exec-once in hyprland.nix; `nomarchy-menu snapshot` prefers btrfs-assistant-launcher again, with the nomarchy-snapshots fzf flow kept as fallback (and for SSH); checks.snapshot-gui guards the root path + offscreen GUI event loop on a real btrfs volume so a lock bump can't silently regress it. No btrfs-progs patch: all our flows are root-side; the unprivileged fix arrives with a lock bump. Verified: V0 (flake check) + V2 (snapshot-gui check, executed green) + V1 (HM generation builds; hyprland.conf carries the agent exec-once; generated menu passes bash -n with the launcher wiring). Remaining V3 queued: first on-hardware themed polkit prompt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

### 4. btrfs-assistant segfault — attempt the nixpkgs override fix
|
||||
ROADMAP § Snapshot browse/restore. btrfs-assistant 2.2 crashes in
|
||||
`libbtrfsutil.so.1.4.0` (ABI mismatch, confirmed not a VM artifact); the
|
||||
`nomarchy-snapshots` fzf fallback ships. Try an override aligning its
|
||||
libbtrfsutil (or a version bump/pin); if upstream nixpkgs has since
|
||||
fixed it, just verify and re-point the menu. **Done when:** the GUI
|
||||
launches in the VM test, or the attempt is written up as infeasible
|
||||
(then re-check on each lock bump). **Verify:** V2 — extend the snapper
|
||||
VM check to launch the binary.

### 5. Keyboard layouts — cycle bind + summer-bar parity
|
||||
ROADMAP § Keyboard layouts, remaining bullets: (a) a multi-layout cycle
|
||||
bind (`hyprctl switchxkblayout` current-device, or xkb `grp:` option)
