Two unreferenced asset files removed; two larger concerns deferred to
roadmap rows because they need more thought than a focused audit
allows.
Deleted:
- `features/apps/alacritty/config/alacritty.toml` — the alacritty
module uses `programs.alacritty.settings` (Nix attrset) exclusively;
nothing references the on-disk file. The neighbouring (already-empty)
`themes/` directory goes with it.
- `themes/templates/mako.ini.tpl` — no script reads it.
Deferred to ROADMAP "Later":
- `features/apps/chromium/Default/Preferences` is deployed as a Home
Manager symlink into chromium's mutable profile directory. Either
silently replaced on first save or silently failing to write —
either way the static defaults don't survive. The actual chromium
theming work happens via managed policies in
core/system/browser.nix. Needs chromium-internals knowledge to
decide whether to remove or rework, so flagged rather than
unilaterally deleted.
- `themes/templates/*.tpl` (the remaining 10 templates) are also
apparently orphan — deployed via xdg.dataFile but unconsumed by any
script. Likely vestigial from a pre-stylix templating system.
Logged as a separate row to decide deletion vs documentation as
user-reference assets.
Found during Pillar 8 audit of features/apps.
Two clusters of documented-but-non-functional options surfaced during
the Pillar 8 audit, both setting toggles that have zero runtime effect.
1. `nomarchy.toggles.skipVsCodeTheme` was declared in
core/home/options.nix, defaulted from lib/state-schema.nix, and
surfaced as `NOMARCHY_TOGGLE_SKIP_VSCODE_THEME` env var in
features/scripts/default.nix — but `features/apps/vscode.nix` always
sets `workbench.colorTheme` unconditionally, and no script reads the
env var. Setting the toggle to true did nothing. Removed from
options, schema, state, env-var export, and OPTIONS.md.
2. `nomarchy.themeLoader.apps.{waybar,mako,kitty,alacritty}` were
declared in themes/engine/loader.nix but only `btop` is actually
wired (line 87 gates the per-theme btop.theme deploy). The other
four had no consumer. The actual theming pipeline for those apps is
elsewhere: waybar themes inline from `colorScheme` in waybar.nix;
kitty and alacritty are themed by stylix targets in
themes/engine/stylix.nix; mako has no theme integration at all.
Removed the four dead options + updated OPTIONS.md to list only
btop with a note about where the other apps' theming lives.
`themes/engine/sddm.nix` defaulted `services.displayManager.autoLogin`
to `enable = true; user = "nomarchy";` (both mkDefault). The installer
flow overrode both with the real username at normal priority, so this
was invisible there — but a hand-migrated user (per docs/MIGRATION.md)
who imported `nomarchy.nixosModules.system` without setting
`autoLogin.user` would auto-login as a nonexistent "nomarchy" user and
SDDM would error. `docs/MIGRATION.md` even documented the override as a
post-import chore.
Flipped the default to `enable = lib.mkDefault false`. Installer
generates `enable = true` directly so its flow is unchanged. Migration
flow now gets the safe default — opt-in instead of opt-out — and the
docs row is updated to reflect the new shape.
The hardcoded "nomarchy" username fallback for `autoLogin.user` is the
same class of bug as the impermanence persistence block was. A future
roadmap row to consolidate "primary user" across impermanence,
autoLogin, and any future modules might be worthwhile, but it's
deferred — this commit is the immediate fix.
Found during Pillar 8 audit of first-boot UX.
- Update lib/state-schema.nix to default both home and system themes to 'summer-night'.
- Fix 'nomarchy-theme-list' and 'nomarchy-theme-set-templates' to resolve themes and templates from '~/.local/share/nomarchy' instead of the obsolete '$NOMARCHY_PATH' (fixing failures on Live ISO).
- Update 'nomarchy-welcome' to properly convert Title Case theme display names back to kebab-case identifiers and add input validation to prevent crashes.
- Fix installer impermanence symlink by using a relative path ('../persist/etc/nixos'), ensuring it resolves during 'nixos-install' both inside and outside the chroot.
- Deploy '~/.XCompose' symlink via Home Manager and add 'nomarchy-restart-xcompose' to the menu.
- Relocate 'Nomarchy.ttf' to 'core/branding/' and move user-level scripts ('pkg-add', 'pkg-remove', 'env-update', 'preflight-migration') to 'features/scripts/utils/' to align with the distro architecture.
- Remove obsolete '$NOMARCHY_PATH' exports and redundant 'bashrc' template.
- Export theme templates via 'xdg.dataFile' for script accessibility.
The audit's "missing references" table held 15 rows — 2 real doc bugs and
13 grep false-positives — making Pillar 3 Phase B triage noisier than it
needed to be.
- Wrote themes/engine/scripts/nomarchy-theme-next so SKILL.md's documented
"cycle to next theme" command actually resolves.
- Scrubbed three stale `nomarchy-dev-*` references from SKILL.md (skill
frontmatter, body, and Out-of-Scope list) — they hallucinated a workflow
that doesn't exist and broke AI-assisted use of the skill.
- Added a line-context filter to both nomarchy-docs-scripts generators
that drops `nomarchy-*` tokens appearing in Nix pname/derivation idents,
/tmp/ and /etc/sudoers.d/ paths, nixosConfigurations.* / packages.*
flake outputs, mktemp -t prefixes, systemd unit vars, ./result/bin/run-
binaries, and docker container references.
- Added a small token-level denylist for five residual non-script
identifiers (nomarchy-plymouth, nomarchy-sddm-theme, nomarchy-live,
nomarchy-rev, nomarchy-windows) that survive line filtering because
they appear as bare Nix list refs, comment backticks, or compose-heredoc
identifiers.
Regenerated docs/SCRIPTS.md; the "Missing references" section is now
empty. Logged in docs/ROADMAP.md Shipped.

Fixes identified during the thorough distro review:
- Restore automatic wallpaper switching by removing image filters from deployed themes.
- Fix broken 'Style' menu entries by creating missing about.txt and screensaver.txt branding files.
- Clean up conflicting keybindings by removing deprecated tiling.conf and updating doc generator.
- Remove legacy Nord theme hack from nomarchy-theme-set.
- Fix JSON parse error in summer-day waybar theme.
- installer: set recursive ownership of /etc/nixos to main user post-install
- themes: fix NOMARCHY_PATH and discovery logic for Lua theme menu
- scripts: update CLI wrappers (font, theme, wallpaper) to use Walker menus
- core: remove obsolete NOMARCHY_PATH and cleanup dead code
- features: add pkgs.lua for Walker and remove obsolete switcher.nix

colors.toml and icons.theme were copy-pasted from summer-night (a dark
theme). Repalette to Everforest Light, mark as light via light.mode,
switch icons to Yaru-blue, fix the broken Waybar import, and add the
btop/neovim/vscode/rofi/walker app configs the sibling themes ship.

Sweep across the three script directories: features/scripts/utils,
core/system/scripts, themes/engine/scripts. 142 of 169 bash scripts
gained `set -e`; 27 already had it; the one Python helper
(nomarchy-haptic-touchpad) was skipped via shebang detection.
Why: bash's default behavior is to continue past a failed command,
which means a script that does "do A; do B; do C" leaves the system
in a half-applied state when B fails - and the user gets no signal.
Several recent fix commits (theme partial-apply, waybar reload race,
installer prewipe silent failures) all trace back to this. set -e
turns silent corruption into a loud abort the user can act on.
The 11 scripts with explicit `|| true` markers stay safe under set -e
because || true coerces the exit to zero; the markers continue to
mean "I deliberately tolerate this failure here."
Deliberate exception: nomarchy-menu runs WITHOUT set -e. It is an
interactive UX loop where action branches do `cmd; back_to <self>`
so a failed action would abort the script under set -e and the menu
would disappear without feedback. Soft-failure - menu re-displays,
user picks again - is the right semantic. Documented inline.
Validation: bash -n on every modified script (zero failures). The
new pre-commit hook (27f5663) was just updated to filter by shebang
so it doesn't try to bash-syntax-check the Python helper - that
filter was uncovered by this sweep.
Risk: set -e can surface latent bugs in scripts that previously
relied on silent continuation. If anything breaks, it's a real bug
that was already broken and is now visible. Easy per-script revert
if any UX glitches show up.

nomarchy-theme-set chains six optional "tell each app the theme changed"
steps. Each used `command -v X && X || true`, which collapsed two very
different outcomes into the same silent path:
- X isn't installed -> skip (correct, expected, fine)
- X exists but returned non-zero -> skip (wrong - user just got a
half-applied theme with zero feedback about which app didn't refresh)
Replaced the inline guards with a small helper that distinguishes
absent from failed and accumulates real failures into a list. At the
end of the run, if anything failed, we notify-send a single message
naming the apps that didn't refresh ("Did not refresh: Waybar, btop")
and echo the same to stderr. The theme apply itself still completes -
we don't abort the chain on one failure - so the user gets the partial
benefit AND the diagnostic.
Same pattern as the waybar SIGUSR2 fix (386da51): make the hot path
loud about real problems while staying quiet about expected
no-installed states.

Phase B verdict on two unused? entries in the theme-engine scripts.
- nomarchy-theme-set-obsidian: real script that copies the active
theme's obsidian.css into every Obsidian vault under
~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json. Wires it into nomarchy-theme-set
next to the btop/opencode hot-reloads. Self-gates twice (no
obsidian.css → exit 0; no .obsidian dir → continue), so it's a
no-op for users without Obsidian.
- nomarchy-theme-set-vscode: delete-dead. Its own comment admitted
it was "mostly a placeholder"; its only action (nomarchy-env-update)
is already done unconditionally upstream by nomarchy-theme-set.
The NOMARCHY_TOGGLE_SKIP_VSCODE_THEME env var it gated on is
exported by features/scripts/default.nix:73 from
nomarchy.toggles.skipVsCodeTheme, but with this script gone there
are no consumers; the toggle survives as a public option until a
follow-up wires it through the VSCode module properly.
SCRIPTS.md regenerated: unused? 34 → 32, kept 165 → 166. nix flake
check clean.

Phase B verdict on two unused? scripts — both inline comments
claimed they were "used by the Nomarchy theme switching", but the
switcher (themes/engine/scripts/nomarchy-theme-set) only restarted
walker, waybar, and the wallpaper service. So btop and opencode
stayed on the old palette after `nomarchy-theme-set <foo>` until
the user closed and reopened them by hand.
Wires both into nomarchy-theme-set, alongside the existing walker /
waybar restart calls. The check-then-call (`command -v ... &&`)
matches the surrounding style — a missing helper is a no-op, not a
fatal.
SCRIPTS.md regenerated: unused? 36 → 34, kept 163 → 165.

- Migrate VM and graphical ISO to home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager;
drop the standalone-HM sudo-based activation script (ran HM against
/root because HOME wasn't reset) in flake.nix, core/system/vm-guest.nix,
hosts/live-iso.nix.
- Run swaybg as nomarchy-wallpaper.service instead of a silent Hyprland
exec-once so failures surface in systemctl.
- Skip the battery monitor unit on hosts without /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*
(VMs, desktops).
- Don't wrap walker --dmenu in uwsm-app; redirect setsid background std-fds
in nomarchy-launch-walker so $(menu ...) in nomarchy-menu doesn't hang.
- Restart waybar/walker via systemctl --user rather than pkill + uwsm-app
to stop the post-theme-switch color race.
- Wire nomarchy-restart-walker/-waybar into nomarchy-theme-set so themes
that only change the imported CSS reload correctly.
- Waybar: pin #custom-nomarchy to the Nomarchy font and use the U+F000
codepoint so the logo shows across all themes.
- Auto-install the correct icon-theme package per palette via a new
nomarchyLib.iconThemePackage helper in lib/default.nix; Everforest now
actually renders for summer-night.
- Pre-cache every theme's HM generation: new packages.allThemeVariants
flake output and nomarchy-themes-prebuild script so theme switches are
cache-only (no Stylix rebuild, no downloads).
- Add nomarchy-test-live-iso to boot the graphical ISO in QEMU the same
way nomarchy-test-vm does, with virtio-gpu support added to live-iso.nix.
- Installer-generated home.nix/system.nix now ship a curated, commented
app menu (btop/fastfetch/chromium on by default) plus optional system
services (Docker, libvirtd, Tailscale, Syncthing, Flatpak, Steam).
- nomarchy-test-vm now wipes the stale nomarchy.qcow2 before launch.
- Remove obsolete GEMINI.md and PLAN.md.
