The nomarchy-live ISO imported ./core and hosts/nomarchy-live.nix but not
core/system/vm-guest.nix, which is the only place spice-vdagentd/qemuGuest
were enabled. Without those agents a VM's virtio-gpu only advertises its
1024x768 fallback mode, so Hyprland's `monitor = , highres, auto` rule picks
that as the highest mode and the live session boots tiny.

pam_unix rejects empty passwords by default, so if hypridle locked the
live session there was nothing the user could type to unlock it. Set
allowNullPassword on the hyprlock PAM service so a bare Enter dismisses
the locker, matching the empty live account passwords. Scoped to the
live host so installed systems still reject empty unlocks.

Several installer reliability fixes that were left uncommitted:
- Impermanence + multi-disk LUKS: disko-config.nix names the main LUKS
mapping `crypted` for single-disk and `crypted_main` once extraDrives is
non-empty. The impermanence rollback hook used to hardcode `crypted`,
which made every multi-disk install fail to mount root in initrd. Added
a `nomarchy.system.impermanence.mainLuksName` option and wired the
installer to write the correct value into the generated system.nix
based on the drive count.
- Password no longer cleartext in /etc/nixos: installer now hashes the
user password with `mkpasswd -m sha-512` and emits
`initialHashedPassword` instead of `initialPassword`. Added mkpasswd to
the live ISO. Cleartext is unset immediately after hashing.
USER_PASSWORD_HASH is deliberately not persisted in --resume state —
configure_user re-prompts on resume.
- Revision pinning that actually works on the live ISO: `inputs.self`
strips .git in the Nix store copy, so `git rev-parse HEAD` would silently
return empty on a real install and the generated flake would track main.
Live ISO now writes `/etc/nomarchy-rev` from `inputs.self.rev` at build
time; install.sh reads it first, falls back to git, and aborts with a
loud confirmation prompt if both are empty (instead of silently
installing an unpinned system).
- Generated `/mnt/etc/nixos/state.json`: toggle scripts (nomarchy-tz-select,
nomarchy-setup-{fido2,fingerprint}, nomarchy-toggle-hybrid-gpu,
nomarchy-wifi-powersave) `jq` this file in place and fail hard if it
doesn't exist. Fresh installs now ship a schema-conformant file matching
lib/state-schema.nix.
- Unmount /mnt before exiting `finish()` regardless of reboot choice. Clean
unmount avoids dirty BTRFS on reboot; on "no", leaving /mnt mounted
blocked a second installer run on the same live ISO.
- Removed obsolete `installer/disko-btrfs-luks.nix` (superseded by
`disko-config.nix` per commit 3aadc36) and dropped its dangling
`docs/STRUCTURE.md` reference.

The disk phase was the dominant source of incomplete installs. Six
concrete failure modes addressed in one pass:
1. Live-ISO USB excluded from the disk picker. select_disk previously
filtered loop|ram|zram|sr but not the device the installer booted
from; picking it would format the boot media mid-install. New
detect_live_iso_devices walks /, /iso, /run/initramfs/live,
/nix/.ro-store, /nix/store and resolves each backing device to its
parent disk via lsblk -no PKNAME. Override with
NOMARCHY_INSTALL_ALLOW_ISO_TARGET=1 for the developer case.
2. 10 GiB minimum-capacity preflight. Disko fails late and obscurely
on undersized media; surface it while the picker is still open.
3. prewipe_target_drive rewritten:
- Enumerates every active dm-crypt mapping via dmsetup ls and
closes those whose backing device is on the target drive. The
old version only knew about the hardcoded names "crypted" /
"crypted_main" so an aborted multi-disk run or a non-Nomarchy
install would leave a holder open and silently break the wipe.
- Drops `|| true` from wipefs / sgdisk / dd. After the LUKS and
swap teardown above, a real failure means something is still
holding the device — surface that instead of papering over it.
- udevadm settle bounded to 30s so a flapping USB can't hang.
- Post-wipe sanity check: refuse to hand the disk to disko if
anything is still mounted off it.
4. run_disko_with_retry wraps the disko call. On failure, shows the
last 30 lines of output via gum style and offers Retry /
View full log / Abort. set -e is suspended for the disko call so
the exit code can be inspected. The previous bare `disko --mode
disko` aborted the whole installer with output scrolled past.
5. Sed-templated disko-golden.nix + disko-btrfs-multi.nix pair
replaced by a single disko-config.nix Nix function of
{ mainDrive, extraDrives ? [] } called via --argstr / --arg.
Templating Nix via shell-escaped string substitution caused at
least one production bug (3aadc36 fixed embedded-newline
escaping); function arguments are the right shape and eliminate
the entire class of escaping concerns. Single-disk path is
`extraDrives = []`; multi-disk gets BTRFS `-d single -m raid1`
plus the additional /dev/mapper/* devices. Hosts that shipped
/etc/disko-golden.nix now ship /etc/disko-config.nix.
6. EXIT trap added so the tmpfs LUKS key file (/dev/shm/nomarchy-
luks.key) is removed even if the script aborts between key-write
and the explicit unset. Replaced redundant `shred -u` on tmpfs
with `rm -f` (already in RAM).
Verification: bash -n on install.sh, nix-instantiate parse + strict
eval on disko-config.nix in both single and multi shapes, full
nix flake check --no-build evaluating all three NixOS configurations
(default, nomarchy-installer, nomarchy-live) plus the installerVm.
