- **[stability] BTRFS auto-scrub**: Nomarchy is heavily BTRFS-based (timeline

snapshots, root subvolumes). BTRFS detects bitrot and data corruption via

checksums, but it only checks data when it is read. Enabling a monthly

scrub (`services.btrfs.autoScrub.enable = true;`) proactively scans the

entire filesystem in the background to detect (and if in a RAID/dup profile,

fix) silent corruption before backups or snapshots propagate the bad data.

Cost: cheap, zero-config stability win.

- **[stability] Magic SysRq Keys for Safe Recovery (`kernel.sysrq = 1`)**:

If the Wayland compositor crashes or the GPU driver hangs, the desktop

completely freezes. The standard fallback is holding the power button,

which risks BTRFS data corruption. Enabling `boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.sysrq" = 1`

allows the kernel to intercept the Alt+SysRq+REISUB key sequence to safely

terminate processes, sync disks, gracefully unmount filesystems, and reboot

even when userspace is dead. This is a critical safety net.

## 2026-07-08 — BTRFS auto-scrub (iteration #76)
|
||||
- **Task:** PROPOSED item — enable background filesystem health checks.
|
||||
- **Did:** Added `services.btrfs.autoScrub` with a monthly interval to `modules/nixos/default.nix`.
|
||||
- **Verified:** V1 (flake check).
|
||||
- **Pending:** nothing.
|
||||
- **Next suggestion:** continue tackling the PROPOSED backlog queue (e.g. file manager archive backend or pcscd).

## 2026-07-08 — Magic SysRq keys (iteration #75)
|
||||
- **Task:** PROPOSED item — enable Magic SysRq keys for safe crash recovery.
|
||||
- **Did:** Added `boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.sysrq" = 1;` to `modules/nixos/default.nix`.
|
||||
- **Verified:** V1 (flake check).
|
||||
- **Pending:** user visual review or nothing.

## 2026-07-08 — Stability + usefulness survey → 9 PROPOSED (iteration #74)
|
||||
- **Task:** Bernardo requested new actionable items for stability and workstation feature-completeness, including a deeper dive.
|
||||
- **Did:** Researched the codebase for gaps. Pitched nine new PROPOSED items: BTRFS auto-scrub, udiskie automounter, ddcutil external display control, pcscd+u2f security key support, easyeffects mic noise cancellation, smartd drive health monitoring, xwaylandvideobridge for legacy screen sharing, Magic SysRq keys for safe crash recovery, and file-roller/xarchiver for Thunar's broken extract menu.
