Build out the rofi menu system roadmap item:
- New nomarchy-menu modules: network (nmtui), bluetooth (blueman-manager),
capture (grim/slurp submenu → clipboard/file), ask (free-text → claude
CLI in a terminal), and keybinds (the SUPER+? cheatsheet).
- modules/home/keybinds.nix is now the single source of truth for both the
Hyprland bind strings and the cheatsheet, so the two can't drift —
hyprland.nix maps it into `bind`, rofi.nix renders the padded two-column
sheet (generated/mouse binds live in its `extra` rows).
- New binds: SUPER+Space (quick launch), SUPER+M (main menu), SUPER+?
(cheatsheet). SUPER+D stays rofi -show drun.
- Ask Claude pulls claude-code fresh from npm via `npx
@anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest` (the nixpkgs package lags model
releases); nodejs is bundled for npx.
nix flake check passes.

zsh is now the default login shell (programs.zsh.enable +
users.defaultUserShell, mkOverride 500 to beat bash.nix's mkDefault;
per-user shell= still overrides). modules/home/shell.nix configures the
interactive experience (nomarchy.shell.enable):
- zsh: completion, autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, big shared
history, autocd.
- starship prompt themed from the palette (a `nomarchy` palette built
from theme-state.json colors).
- bat as cat (theme "ansi" → tracks the terminal/theme palette), eza as
ls (icons + git + dirs-first), zoxide as cd (--cmd cd).
- rg/fd shipped as themselves — deliberately NOT aliased over grep/find
(flag differences surprise).
home.shell.enableZshIntegration = true is the single lever; starship,
eza, zoxide, ghostty and yazi all emit their zsh hooks from it (no
per-module edits). Verified: flake check green, default shell resolves
to zsh, .zshrc carries the starship/zoxide/eza/yazi hooks + aliases,
starship palette renders, all tools in the live ISO closure.

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.

The media keys called wpctl/brightnessctl directly with no visual
feedback — changing volume showed nothing on screen. Now they drive
swayosd-client, which performs the action AND shows a themed OSD.
- modules/home/osd.nix: services.swayosd, style.css generated from the
palette (base bg, accent progress/border); nomarchy.osd.enable.
- hyprland media binds → swayosd-client (--output-volume raise/lower/
mute-toggle, --input-volume mute-toggle, --brightness raise/lower).
- modules/nixos: services.udev.packages = [ swayosd ] installs the
backlight rule (chgrp video + g+w) so brightness works for video-group
users without root (the installer/live user is in video).
swaync is unaffected (it was already running — this was purely the
missing OSD). Verified: flake check green, swayosd.service bound to
graphical-session.target, hyprland config verifies, swayosd in the live
ISO closure. On-screen rendering needs a real session to confirm.

The "Applying theme — rebuilding…" toast used the default timeout, so it
vanished seconds into a multi-minute home-manager switch — leaving the
user with no signal and the impression the selection failed. Now it's
persistent (timeout 0) and all theme notifications share a synchronous
tag, so swaync REPLACES it in place with "Theme applied ✓" (or a critical
failure toast that persists) when the rebuild finishes.
notify() grew persistent/urgency/summary params. Honest indeterminate
feedback — HM exposes no percentage, so no fake progress bar.
Verified: py_compile clean; the full apply→switch→notify path runs end to
end (dummy NOMARCHY_REBUILD). The in-place replacement is visible only in
a real swaync session.

themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi whole-swaps for the two themes that had a
distinct launcher look in the legacy branch — inverted window (bg=fg),
green inputbar, yellow bottom-border accent, rounded. Adapted: dropped
the configuration{} block (rofi.nix owns modi/terminal/show-icons) and
swapped the unshipped Iosevka 17 for a shipped Nerd Font.
Verified: both .rasi parse under `rofi -dump-theme`; the whole-swap
selects per active theme (summer-night → #2d353b/#a7c080, summer-day →
#fdf6e3, others → the generated palette theme); flake check green.

rofi 2.0 landed in nixpkgs 26.05 with native Wayland (mainline upstreamed
the lbonn rofi-wayland fork — `wayland enabled`), so the original reason
to prefer fuzzel (rofi being X11-only / needing a community fork) is gone.
rofi's `.rasi` is far more expressive than fuzzel's flat INI, which lets
the launcher be a proper themed hero surface and revives the legacy
per-theme launcher designs.
- modules/home/rofi.nix replaces fuzzel.nix: per-element theme generated
from theme-state.json (accent border, highlighted selection, rounded
inputbar) via lib.formats.rasi.mkLiteral; themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi
whole-swap; the nomarchy-menu dispatcher re-pointed to `rofi -dmenu`
(power/theme/clipboard/calc with -mesg/files/web + root picker).
- SUPER+D is now `rofi -show drun`; the menu binds are unchanged.
- nomarchy.fuzzel.enable → nomarchy.rofi.enable; fuzzel dropped from
home.packages. Pango handles nf-glyph fallback (no explicit font list
needed as fuzzel's fcft did). show-icons off until an icon theme ships.
Verified: flake check green, HM generation builds, the generated
theme.rasi parses under `rofi -dump-theme`, Hyprland config verifies.
Not verified: rofi's on-screen rendering needs a real session.
Docs: README menu/override/roadmap sections and the module tree updated;
the per-theme launcher roadmap item now points at porting the legacy
rofi.rasi designs (the whole-swap mechanism is in place).

Legacy shipped only Thunar (and a stray nautilus extension, mid-migration).
This pairs a keyboard-driven TUI flagship that fits the distro's identity
with the GUI half for point-and-click + the "open folder" handler.
yazi (modules/home/yazi.nix, nomarchy.yazi.enable, SUPER+E, `y` shell
wrapper cd's on exit): themed from theme-state.json (mgr/mode/status
mapped from the palette; merges over yazi's defaults so it tracks the
theme) with a curated, correctly-wired plugin set —
full-border, git (setup + prepend_fetchers), smart-enter (l/Enter),
chmod (cm), mount (M), compress (caa), mediainfo (audio/subtitle only —
images/videos keep native thumbnails), glow (markdown previews).
Preview/tooling deps: ffmpegthumbnailer, poppler-utils, p7zip, jq, fd,
ripgrep, fzf, chafa, mediainfo, glow.
Thunar (modules/nixos/file-manager.nix, nomarchy.system.fileManager.enable):
GTK file manager (Stylix-themed) + archive/volman/media-tags plugins +
gvfs/tumbler/udisks2 backends + thumbnailers + exo. udisks2 also backs
yazi's mount plugin.
Verified: flake check green, HM generation builds (yazi TOML/init.lua
render, all 8 plugins resolve), every package present in the live ISO
closure (offline install draws from it — no source-build leak).
Not verified: yazi's runtime preview/plugin behaviour needs a real
session (TUI; can't drive in CI here).

Nomarchy's Hyprland/Ghostty/Waybar settings were set at normal priority,
so a downstream `home.nix` setting any value Nomarchy already set threw a
"conflicting definition values" error — overriding required lib.mkForce,
contradicting the README's "mkDefault throughout" claim.
Now: behaviour/chrome leaves (input, misc, monitor, animations, dwindle,
gesture, decoration.blur sizing, ghostty padding/decoration, waybar
settings+style) are lib.mkDefault — a plain home.nix assignment wins.
Appearance values that flow from theme-state.json (gaps, colors,
rounding, opacity, fonts) stay at normal priority on purpose: change them
via nomarchy-theme-sync (their source of truth) or lib.mkForce to
hardcode. bind/exec-once lists stay normal priority so additions
concatenate rather than replace.
Verified: behaviour/ghostty plain overrides build; theme values still
conflict (steering to the CLI); default rendered config is byte-identical.
New docs/OVERRIDES.md with the appearance→CLI / behaviour→home.nix /
component→toggle model and worked examples; linked from the README.

Super+Escape didn't fire on real hardware (Latitude 5410) while its
neighbour binds did — the chord gets swallowed before reaching
Hyprland's dispatcher on some setups. SUPER+X is unambiguous.

Resolves the old Walker/Lua previews-vs-simplicity question in favor of
fuzzel: already shipped, nested menus via dmenu mode, INI theme bakeable
from theme-state.json like every other app.

Roadmap items 1+2 plus the issues found testing on a Latitude 5410:
- Ship the 10 most popular Nerd Fonts by default (iosevka swapped for
mononoki: 1.1 GB vs 27 MB) and warn from nomarchy-theme-sync when a
configured fonts.mono/fonts.ui family isn't installed (fc-match) —
fontconfig substitutes silently otherwise.
- hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware: installed systems shipped NO
firmware blobs (wifi/SOF audio/BT) — nixos-generate-config only emits
microcode lines referencing this flag, it never sets it.
- Live ISO wifi: networking.wireless.enable = mkForce false killed
NetworkManager's supplicant — since 26.05 the NM module drives its
wifi backend THROUGH networking.wireless (dbusControlled). Devices
vanished from nmtui with iwlwifi loaded and no rfkill block.
- Hyprland 0.55: launch sessions via start-hyprland (watchdog; bare
binary warns), add the new gesture keyword (workspace_swipe is gone —
touchpads had no gestures at all), media keys via wpctl/bindel/bindl
plus the missing mic/play/next/prev binds.
- Offline theme switching: pin mustache-go + stdenv + the repo's own
standalone HM generation (incl. home-files inputDerivation) into the
ISO — stylix re-renders base16 templates per switch and an offline
`apply` cascaded into building stdenv from source (1107 drvs).
Verified with tools/vm/gap-analysis.py: 17 config drvs, zero fetches.
- Stylix: track release-26.05 (kills the HM version-skew warning and
the stale home-manager follows), lock updated.
- Roadmap: swaync (no notification daemon ships today).

Installed machines and the downstream template now resolve nomarchy from
git+https://git.bemagri.xyz/bernardo/nomarchy.git?ref=v1 (the lock's
original node carries the ref too), so `nix flake update` follows the
release branch instead of the forge's default branch. README quickstart
points at the real forge.

Promotes the throwaway harness that verified the installer into tools/:
- tools/vm/qmp.py QMP keystroke injection / typing / quit
- tools/vm/vncshot.py GL-safe screenshots via VNC readback (QMP
screendump shows "no surface" with virtio-vga-gl)
- tools/vm/gap-analysis.py drv-graph diff that converged the offline
pin set; run it when offline installs build
from source
- tools/test-install.sh the full offline regression: build ISO, boot
offline, unattended LUKS+swap install via a
config disk (typed long commands drop keys),
wait for poweroff, boot the installed disk,
screenshot the first boot for visual verdict
docs/TESTING.md §4 now points at the script.

- LUKS2 is the installer default; in exchange the generated config sets
the new nomarchy.system.greeter.autoLogin (greetd initial_session) —
the disk passphrase already gates the machine.
- @snapshots subvolume + nomarchy.system.snapper.enable: hourly/daily
timeline snapshots of / and the nixos-rebuild-snap helper, ported from
the previous iteration (3bdfc35), guarded to no-op on non-BTRFS roots.
- @swap subvolume with a swapfile sized to RAM by default (disko
mkswapfile handles NOCOW); the installer computes the resume offset
and wires boot.resumeDevice + resume_offset for hibernation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ported from the previous iteration's installer (3bdfc35), adapted to the
mkFlake world. gum TUI: disk pick, optional LUKS2, user/hostname/timezone,
DMI → nixos-hardware autodetection (hardware-db.sh). disko partitions
GPT + 1 GiB ESP + BTRFS subvolumes; the generated machine flake lands at
~user/.nomarchy (one mkFlake call, /etc/nixos symlinks to it) and
nixos-install makes it bootable (UEFI/systemd-boot, v1 single disk).
Offline by construction: the target flake.lock is composed from the rev
the ISO was built from (compose-lock.py), `nix flake archive` seeds the
target store, and the ISO pre-builds the template system + desktop.
First boot lands themed: the HM generation is pre-activated in chroot.
mkFlake grows two things for this: hardwareProfile now also takes a list
(autodetection emits several common-* modules), and installed systems get
the standalone home-manager CLI from the pinned input. Unattended mode
(NOMARCHY_UNATTENDED=1 + env) documented in docs/TESTING.md §4.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Downstream users now own only system.nix and home.nix; their flake.nix is
generated once from the template and never hand-edited. mkFlake (lib.nix)
wires both layers and maps hardwareProfile = "<name>" to nixos-hardware
modules (new input, pinned here, nixpkgs follows ours; unknown names fail
with did-you-mean suggestions). Flake checks evaluate the template through
mkFlake — including a real profile — so drift fails `nix flake check`.
Also from the live-VM testing session: install the home-manager CLI in the
live ISO and pin flake inputs transitively (offline theme switching needs
stylix's own inputs too), plus swww→awww doc updates.

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.
