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.

- 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.

- Reorganize directory structure into core/, features/, and themes/
- Colocate application Nix logic, configs, scripts, and theme overrides
- Implement 'Inversion of Control' for theming: apps now pull theme-specific layouts
- Update flake.nix and shared library paths to match the new structure
- Document the new Feature-Centric architecture in README.md
