18 hex retunes, hue-preserving OKLCH minimal raises except where the
upstream palette defines a canonical value: muted lifted to >= 2.0 on
lumon/white/retro-82/everforest (solved), gruvbox (bg4 #7c6f64), nord
(#616e88, the community comment-brightening), catppuccin-latte
(overlay1 #8c8fa1); text-on-surface >= 4.5 via surface nudges
(ristretto darker, latte lighter); accentAlt >= 3.0 (latte, summer-day
darkened); warn >= 2.5 — the bar's battery tint — darkened on the
light bases (latte, rose-pine dawn, summer-day) and flexoki-light's
four status colors moved to their canonical light-mode 600 series.
check-theme-contrast.py now gates all four adopted floors (7 pairings
x 21 themes, green). good/bad stay audit-only — identity themes sit at
2.0-2.3 there by design, so no exemption mechanism was needed. The
design audit's contrast findings drop 20 -> 1 (miasma's earthy `bad`,
kept as identity). Item 28 slice (b) complete.
Verified: V0, checks.theme-contrast green, flake check green,
re-audit. Rendering is V3 -> HARDWARE-QUEUE eyeball entries.

The audit's P1s, fixed at the palette level (items 25/27 previously
patched the consumers around these):
- summer-day: surface was the TEXT color (slate #5c6a72 on cream) and
subtext was the BASE (ratio 1.0, invisible) — now a raised cream
surface #efe7d0 and a slate-teal subtext #6e828a in the theme's
family.
- flexoki-light: surface/overlay/muted were all the text black and
subtext the paper — retuned to canonical upstream Flexoki tones
(ui #E6E4D9, #B7B5AC, tx-2 #6F6E69, base-500 #878580).
- miasma: pure-black surface under a #222 base → raised #2e2e2e.
- kanagawa: surface was sumiInk0 (darker than the bg) → upstream's
raised sumiInk4 #2a2a37.
check-theme-contrast.py gains the adopted rule: subtext on base >= 3.0
(all 21 themes pass), so the invisible-secondary-text class cannot
ship again. Model note in the backlog: `overlay` is a mid-tone role
(catppuccin semantics), not a third bg tier.
Verified: V0 + checks.theme-contrast green (21x3); re-audit shows all
four P1 findings gone; a scratch downstream with summer-day active
builds and the new surface hex lands in the rendered ghostty config.
Remains: V3 four-theme eyeball (HARDWARE-QUEUE) and 28b's P2 floors +
exemption list.

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.

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.
