The machine flake's git-tracked settings file is system state, not
"theme" only — rename it to state.json. CLI becomes nomarchy-state-sync
with a nomarchy-theme-sync symlink for scripts and muscle memory.
Eval (mkFlake, doctor, lifecycle) still accepts theme-state.json; the
next write migrates to state.json and removes the legacy file.
Documented in MIGRATION.md; drop the CLI alias after release notes.
Ghostty's OpenGL 4.3 floor broke the Acer (HD 4000 / 4.2). Dual-terminal
support (default Ghostty + install-time Kitty fallback) was more complexity
than it was worth.
- Remove ghostty.nix / nomarchy.ghostty.enable
- Kitty always installed and themed from theme-state
- Default nomarchy.terminal = kitty; SUPER+Return, doctor, calendar,
what-changed use kitty --class=com.nomarchy.*
- Drop install-time glxinfo probe and mesa-demos on the installer
- Docs/REQUIREMENTS no longer list OpenGL 4.3 as a terminal floor
Verified: V0 flake check; option-docs; installer-safety; template HM has
kitty, no ghostty; menu/calendar emit classed kitty launches.
Real dock QA exposed pointer-bound menus, an absent default rescue watcher, the unsafe zero-output panel-off path, missing keyboard/audio hotplug coverage, and unpainted new outputs.
Route Rofi to the focused output; replace panel disable with safe workspace migration; always run and reconnect the display watcher and repaint hotplugged outputs; expose a default per-device keyboard picker; handle audio card availability transitions.
Verified: V1 — nix flake check --no-build; checks.docking-ux real Home Manager artifact build; option-docs/template-sot; Nix parse, py_compile, and git diff --check. V2 unavailable: no readable KVM. V3 pending in agent/HARDWARE-QUEUE.md.
EasyEffects 8 publishes SNI IconName com.github.wwmm.easyeffects, which
Papirus renders as its full-colour blue equaliser — the one splash of
colour in an otherwise monochrome Waybar tray (nm-applet, udiskie & co
resolve to Papirus symbolics).
Fix at the shared icon-theme layer so it holds for ALL themes at once:
wrap the resolved icon set in a thin child theme, Nomarchy-icons, that
Inherits it and ships a palette-coloured monochrome easyeffects glyph
(the app's own -symbolic shape, filled with the theme's colour —
the same hue as the bar's glyphs, so it tracks every theme/mode on
switch). The child becomes the session icon theme; a scalable override
out-resolves the parent's fixed-size icon at every requested size, while
every other icon still falls through to the parent unchanged.
Since iconTheme feeds both stylix (GTK) and rofi, wrapping it once here
covers generated and whole-swap themes with no per-theme files. Adding a
future offender is one more SVG in scalable/apps.
Mechanism validated by GTK IconTheme lookup (override wins at 16/22/24/
32px; udiskie/nm/folder icons still resolve from Papirus). Icon pkg
builds; fill=#D3DAE0, Inherits=Papirus-Dark under Boreal.

One-shot user unit fires a dismissible "You're set" notification on the
first graphical session (SUPER+M / SUPER+T / SUPER+? + Network + Doctor),
then writes settings.firstBootShown into the flake checkout. Skips the
live ISO hostname (hosts/live.nix keeps its own toast). Toggle:
nomarchy.firstBootWelcome.enable. checks.first-boot covers the gate.
Verified: V2 — flake check --no-build; checks.first-boot green; local
shim smoke; downstream-template-home ships the unit.
theme.nix now resolves nomarchy.theme.iconThemePackage from a small
icon-pack registry (Papirus/Tela/Qogir/Reversal/Numix, matched by name
prefix). Default themes name Papirus-*, so the resolved package is the
plain papirus-icon-theme derivation — byte-identical closure, zero added
MB. Only when a theme's `icons` names a set from another pack is that
pack (and only it) symlinkJoined alongside papirus. stylix.nix consumes
it via mkDefault. Adding a pack is one iconPacks row.
Deliberately NOT shipping more packs by default: papirus alone is already
~1 GiB and each extra pack adds ~hundreds of MB, so variety is opt-in per
install (set `icons` in theme-state.json), not a default closure cost.
Documented in templates/downstream/home.nix + ROADMAP § Icon themes.
Verification: V1 (HM activationPackage builds). Eval proofs — default
resolves to plain papirus (zero delta); icons="Tela-dark" ->
nomarchy-icon-themes symlinkJoin (papirus+tela) with the name flowing,
without building tela; all 5 pack attrs exist in the pinned nixpkgs;
template-sot + option-docs + flake check green. No default visual change
(same papirus), so no screenshot; the opt-in render is downstream.

Missing, empty, or non-object theme-state.json now throws a short
message pointing at the template and `nomarchy-theme-sync validate`
instead of a raw readFile/fromJSON stack. Shared reader:
modules/theme-state-read.nix — wired in theme.nix, plymouth/timezone/
hardware, and lib.mkFlake (seq-forced early gate). Field-level schema
in theme.nix kept; unknown border roles still fail there; resolveColor
no longer falls through on missing palette keys. Defaults added for
settings.displayProfile / displayProfileAuto.
Verified: V0 nix flake check --no-build; negative evals (missing,
empty, [], bad border role); good-path template mode + displayProfile
defaults.
Seed theme-state.json and the downstream template from themes/boreal.json
(including border + empty settings). Point eval/schema fallbacks at Boreal
(theme.nix preset, plymouth and live-ISO splash colors, theme-shot, sync
error examples). Docs/TESTING and RECOVERY follow the new default.
Verified: state matches boreal palette; theme-contrast all pass.
preview.png for boreal still missing (picker plain-name; V3 capture).
'Never has to master Nix' includes the error messages. The tool grows
validate_state (appearance schema = hard errors; settings.* and
unknown keys = warnings so menu writers and newer schemas keep
working), a read-only `validate` subcommand, and validation BEFORE
every write — an invalid set/apply is refused with the on-disk file
untouched. JSON syntax errors now say line, column, and fix. theme.nix
enforces the same schema at eval time (on the post-defaults state, so
sparse/older files still evaluate) and throws a message naming each
field, its got-value, and the fix paths — the hand-edit escape hatch
no longer ends in a Nix stack trace. Doctor's JSON fix-text points at
validate.
V1: new checks.theme-sync-validate fixture corpus green (good state,
trailing comma, bad hex, bad type, unknown key, refused set with
byte-identical file); negative mkFlake eval of a broken scratch
downstream shows the friendly throw; good-path template-home builds.

Phase 3 of the in-flake-state philosophy (mirroring night-light + the
keyboard-layout watcher): a System ▸ Display menu item picks an output's
resolution and persists it into the flake instead of a runtime-only tweak.
- rofi.nix: the `display` case reads `hyprctl monitors -j` (auto-skips the
chooser with one output), lists the output's advertised modes (rounded
refresh, deduped, highest-first) plus the preferred/highres/highrr
tokens, applies the pick INSTANTLY via `hyprctl keyword monitor` —
keeping the output's current position + scale, so only the resolution
changes — then persists it with `nomarchy-theme-sync set
settings.monitors.<name> <mode> --no-switch` (no rebuild).
- theme.nix: seed `settings.monitors = {}` (output-name -> "WxH@R") so a
sparse/older state file still evaluates; exposed via nomarchy.settings.
- hyprland.nix: `resolvedMonitors` overlays settings.monitors onto
nomarchy.monitors by name — a declared output keeps its other fields
with only the resolution swapped, an undeclared output (wildcard-only,
e.g. the laptop panel) becomes a fresh rule. So a later rebuild bakes
the menu pick into the generated monitor rule — the monitor twin of the
keyboard graduation. The menu pick wins over a hand-set resolution (it's
the explicit live action).
Monitor connector names are dot-free, so a direct dotted set-path is safe
(no whole-map read-modify-write like the keyboard watcher needs).
VM-verified via a headless-Hyprland nixosTest (run + removed; too heavy
for a CI gate): the graduation baked the rule into the generated
hyprland.conf, the set/get round-trip persisted, and `hyprctl keyword
monitor` actually changed the reported resolution. Only the interactive
rofi picker isn't headlessly driveable (same caveat as the keyboard watcher).

nomarchy.system.autoTimezone (off by default): geoclue + automatic-
timezoned drive /etc/localtime from your location, so travelling to
another zone updates the Waybar clock on its own.
Menu-driven, in-flake state (the night-light / keyboard philosophy):
the flag is settings.autoTimezone in theme-state.json (git-tracked); a
System-menu entry toggles it. Because it's a SYSTEM service — not a user
unit it can start/stop instantly like night-light — the toggle
(nomarchy-autotimezone, run in a terminal) writes the flag --no-switch
then drives `sudo nixos-rebuild` (bakes the service + the time.timeZone
override) plus `home-manager switch` (the Waybar-refresh watcher); both
sides read the one flag.
- modules/nixos/timezone.nix: parses settings.autoTimezone from
nomarchy.system.stateFile (like Plymouth), gates geoclue2 +
automatic-timezoned, and mkForce-nulls time.timeZone — automatic-
timezoned sets it null at normal priority, which collides with the
installer's static value (a hard eval error), so force wins and
reverts cleanly when disabled. Ships the nomarchy-autotimezone toggle.
- modules/home/timezone.nix: a tiny user service watching timedate1's
change signal that reloads Waybar (SIGUSR2) on a real zone change, so
the clock follows live (Waybar captures the zone at construction).
Gated on the same flag via nomarchy.settings.autoTimezone.
- rofi menu: "Auto timezone (on/off)" in the System submenu.
- option + template example + ROADMAP entry; theme.nix seeds the flag.
Eval-verified on (geoclue+daemon on, tz forced null over a static
installer value, watcher present) and off (static tz intact, nothing
extra); home + system both build green. Needs an on-hardware check
(geoclue detection + the SIGUSR2 clock refresh aren't CI-testable).

Phase 2 of the in-flake-state philosophy, mirroring night-light: the
nomarchy-keyboard-watch daemon now remembers per-device layouts in the
git-tracked state file (settings.keyboard.devices) instead of
~/.local/state/nomarchy/keyboard-layouts.
- Reads the LIVE working-tree map (theme-sync get → jq) so a pick this
session is honoured at once; writes instantly with --no-switch (no
rebuild). Writes the whole map back at the dot-free parent path
(read-modify-write) so a device name with a dot can't corrupt the
tool's dotted set-path (Hyprland only sanitises spaces→-).
- Graduation: nomarchy.keyboard.devices now mkDefault-merges entries
from settings.keyboard.devices, so each remembered device becomes a
generated Hyprland device{} block on the next rebuild (reproducible,
hotplug-applied). A hand-written keyboard.devices.<name> still wins;
once baked, the watcher's is_declared check makes it step back.
- theme.nix seeds settings.keyboard.devices = {} (sparse state still
evaluates); options/template descriptions updated; ROADMAP marked done.
Eval-verified (graduation + mkDefault precedence) and the set/get
writer round-trips. Still needs the on-hardware hotplug re-verify (the
picker path isn't testable in CI).

Night light is off by default and configured entirely through the menu,
writing into the downstream flake instead of ~/.local/state — so the
choice is git-tracked and reproducible across a clone+rebuild.
Two flags under a new settings.* section of the state file (exposed as
the nomarchy.settings option):
- settings.nightlight.installed — sticky, gates the hyprsunset unit;
nomarchy.nightlight.enable mkDefault-reads it. First enable from the
menu rebuilds to create the unit (the one accepted rebuild).
- settings.nightlight.on — runtime on/off, toggled instantly
(theme-sync set --no-switch + systemctl), no rebuild. An ExecCondition
reads the live flag at session start so an off survives reboot;
splitting it from the sticky flag means a later unrelated rebuild
never undoes an instant-off (no decay).
Drops the ~/.local/state/nomarchy/nightlight-off marker and the
ConditionPathExists hack. theme-sync set now skips the wallpaper
re-apply for non-wallpaper keys, and its rebuild notifications are
generic ("changes" not "theme").
First cut of the broader principle — any user-settable config gets a
menu writer that lands it in the flake; no state outside the checkout.
Docs (README §4, ROADMAP, template) updated to reflect it.
Eval- and round-trip-verified; on-hardware check pending.

Reworked the menu look, palette-driven so it lands on every theme:
- Real Papirus icons in place of Nerd Font glyphs: a row() helper emits
rofi's per-row icon protocol, and the five static menus (root, Tools,
System, Power, Capture) map each entry to a freedesktop icon name
(verified present in Papirus). Entry text is now clean ("Apps"), the
case-matching is unchanged.
- Larger icons via a new t.ui.iconSize knob (36px, generated theme); the
summer whole-swaps keep their 40px identity.
- Rounded, roomy rows with subtle zebra striping: alternate rows lift to
@surface (a faint bg0 wash on the summer cream/slate windows), the
selected row to @accent — using rofi's normal/alternate/selected row
parities.
- Content-fit windows: fixed-num-lines=false so a 6-entry menu stops
reserving 8 rows of empty space (the launcher still fills + scrolls).
Dropped the fixed height:50% from the summer .rasi so they size to
content too — which also unhid their clipped Power/Keybindings rows.
- Title-cased the menu prompts.
Verified by building the HM config and rendering the generated theme plus
both summer whole-swaps headlessly (sway + grim): icons resolve, zebra
shows, every menu hugs its rows.

v1 forced an accent→accentAlt 45deg gradient on every theme's window
border; the legacy identity themes all used a *solid* border — accent for
nord/retro-82/lumon, the text tone for kanagawa/summer-day/summer-night.
Add a palette-resolved `border` field ({active, inactive}, each a palette
key or literal hex) to the theme schema with accent/overlay defaults in
theme.nix, consume it solid in hyprland.nix, and declare it in every
preset (and the live state). Declaring it everywhere is required because
`nomarchy-theme-sync apply` deep-merges presets — an omitted field would
stick across switches, like colors already are fully specified per theme.
All six identity themes resolve to their exact legacy active border
(verified: nord #81a1c1, retro-82 #faa968, lumon #f2fcff, kanagawa
#dcd7ba, summer-night #d3c6aa, summer-day #5c6a72). nix flake check passes.

Ships papirus-icon-theme and resolves an icon-theme name once in
theme.nix → nomarchy.theme.iconTheme: the JSON's optional `icons` field,
else Papirus-Dark/Light picked by `mode`. That single value feeds:
- Stylix `stylix.icons` → gtk.iconTheme (Thunar and GTK apps)
- rofi `show-icons` + `icon-theme` (the launcher now shows app icons)
A preset or theme-state.json can set `icons` to any theme in the icon
package to override per theme.
Verified: flake check green; iconTheme resolves Papirus-Dark for
tokyo-night and Papirus-Light for summer-day; gtk.enable true with
gtk.iconTheme.name set; papirus in home.packages and the live ISO
closure; rofi config.rasi carries icon-theme + show-icons:true. The
rendered icons need a real session to see.

Full replacement of the previous iteration, rebuilt around three ideas:
- Pure evaluation: theme-state.json lives inside the flake and is read
via the nomarchy.stateFile option — no --impure, ever.
- All-Home-Manager theming: `nomarchy-theme-sync apply` writes the JSON
and runs `home-manager switch`; every theme change is one atomic,
rollbackable generation. Wallpaper (swww) is the sole runtime piece.
- Flat, downstream-first layout: modules/{nixos,home} with one
options.nix each, exported as nixosModules/homeModules + overlay +
flake template; system (nixos-rebuild) and desktop (home-manager
switch) rebuild paths are fully split.
Ships 21 themes imported from the previous iteration (palettes,
wallpapers, btop themes, six whole-swap Waybar identities), Stylix for
the GTK/Qt/cursor long tail, a live ISO target with offline theme
switching, and docs/TESTING.md with the QEMU verification workflow.
