The gate was >=3 appearance entries and it's met: the root's Theme row
becomes "Look & Feel" (pango-escaped & — the root passes
-markup-rows; matched on *Look*), a new lookfeel submenu carries the
Theme grid (SUPER+T hint), Next wallpaper (SUPER+SHIFT+T hint via the
new generalized hintForAction, which menuHint is now sugar over), and
the Night light toggle moved out of System — which thins by one row.
The root stays at six entries; both direct binds still hit the leaves.
Verified: V0; V1 — rendered menu passes bash -n with the mode, escaped
label and relocated night-light row; visual — tokyo-night 1080p
capture renders "Look & Feel" correctly with hints intact. Submenu
flow queued for a session test (HARDWARE-QUEUE).

nomarchy.launchOrFocus (opt-in, commented template example): each
entry gives a key that FOCUSES the app's existing window
(case-insensitive class match via jq + a "(?i)" focuswindow regex) or
launches it when none is open. One shared nomarchy-focus-or-launch
script; a bind whose command was removed from the suite fires a
"not installed" toast instead of failing silently. The same entries
render into the SUPER+? cheatsheet through prettyKeys — bind and
documentation stay one source. README row added.
Verified: V0; V1 — a scratch downstream with two entries renders both
binds (default command = lowercased class; custom mods/command/desc
honored), the script passes bash -n with a usage guard, and the
cheatsheet carries both rows. Focus behaviour needs a session -> V3
(HARDWARE-QUEUE).

The audit flagged the root picker as six short rows in ~760px of
empty width; the space now carries discoverability. menuHint renders
a dimmed pango span (size small, 55% alpha) from the SAME keybinds.nix
the Hyprland binds and the SUPER+? cheatsheet come from (prettyKeys),
so hints can never drift. Applied to the root picker (Apps special-
cased — it's rofi drun), all Tools leaves, and the System rows with
direct binds; those menus pass -markup-rows. Contains-glob matching
and the exact "↩ Back" row are unaffected.
Verified: V0; V1 (rendered menu bash -n, spans + 3x -markup-rows
present); visual — tokyo-night 1080p capture shows the hints dimmed
and subordinate on normal and selected rows alike.

Two polish items from the 1080p review. The right cluster gains a
wider breath (margin-left 14px) before each functional group — media
(pulseaudio/cpu/memory), toggles (powerprofile/nightlight/language),
status (battery/updates/notification); a self-hiding group head
degrades to the uniform spacing. Dim states (inactive workspaces, DND
bell, muted volume) move from alpha(@text, 0.5) tints to the
palette's @muted role — safe now that 28b floor-gates muted/base >=
2.0 in every theme; the CSS comment that warned against @muted
documented the pre-28b palettes and now states the new invariant.
Whole-swap bars untouched (authored identity).
Verified: V0; V1 (rendered CSS carries the rule + 4 @muted uses);
visual — tokyo-night 1080p re-capture shows the themed backdrop
(iteration #35's fix, navy not black), the group gap, and legible
muted workspaces.

The compositor backdrop behind a missing or still-loading wallpaper
was hard black; on light themes that flash reads as a glitch (caught
by the 1080p capture harness on summer-day). Now the theme's base
color, so every wallpaper-less moment stays in-palette.
Also from the summer-day capture review: the authored whole-swap menu
+ island bar survive the 28b retunes as one coherent identity (the
slate menu deliberately mirrors the bar strip — an earlier "polarity"
concern retracted); nit filed for the undimmed placeholder in the two
summer rasi. Punch list updated in item 28.
Verified: V0; V1 — template-home rebuilt, hyprland.conf renders
background_color=rgb(1a1b26). Visual confirmation rides the next
capture run.

New modules/nixos/greeter.nix owns the greetd block (moved out of
default.nix) plus the theming, the Plymouth model — baked at SYSTEM
rebuild from nomarchy.system.stateFile. Two parts, because tuigreet
draws on the VT with the 16 ANSI slots: console.colors becomes the
theme's ansi[] (vt.default_* kernel params — which also themes raw
ttys and the LUKS passphrase prompt), and tuigreet gets a --theme of
NAMED slots (its parser is ratatui Color::from_str, checked in source;
the names map to the standard indexes the retinted palette now
serves). A sparse state without ansi skips theming cleanly.
Verified: V0; V1 — the template-system toplevel bakes the full --theme
spec into greetd.toml and all three vt.default_{red,grn,blu} palettes
into kernel-params. A checks.greeter VM test was attempted and dropped
after bisecting: tuigreet dies under runNixOSTest even without the
flag (harness limit; nixpkgs's own greetd test uses agreety) —
recorded in agent/MEMORY.md. Remains: V3 rendering +
theme-follows-rebuild on hardware (HARDWARE-QUEUE).

nomarchy-display-profile gains `match <outputs>`: an exact set match
wins, else the largest profile whose named outputs are all connected;
any tie prints nothing — the watcher must never flap between ambiguous
layouts. nomarchy-display-profile-watch (exec-once when profiles are
declared, the keyboard-watcher poll pattern — session units race
Hyprland IPC on relogin) reacts to output-set CHANGES only, reads
settings.displayProfileAuto from the live state each time (the menu's
new Auto-switch row toggles it instantly, no rebuild), and applies via
the tool — so an auto-pick persists a concrete profile that the next
rebuild bakes. A separate boolean rather than an "auto" pseudo-profile
for exactly that bake semantics.
Verified: V0 (flake check); V1 — a scratch 4-profile downstream builds;
tool + watcher pass bash -n; the match matrix exercised end-to-end:
three exact picks, an unambiguous-superset pick, a tie -> none, a
no-fit -> none; the watcher is exec-once'd in the rendered config; the
menu renders the Auto-switch row. Remains: V3 real dock/undock
(HARDWARE-QUEUE, rides the slice-a entry). Slice c (workspace binding)
stays, tagged optional.

nomarchy.displayProfiles: named layouts for the same outputs, each a
list of nomarchy.monitors-style entries. The active profile lives in
the in-flake state (settings.displayProfile) on the night-light
pattern: nomarchy-display-profile apply <name> fires the baked hyprctl
rules instantly and writes the state with --no-switch; the next rebuild
bakes the profile's entries over nomarchy.monitors whole-by-name.
Monitor-rule composition is extracted to pure monitor-rules.nix
(renderer + 3-layer resolve, incl. a disable-guard so a stale menu
resolution pick can't resurrect a profile-disabled panel, and junk
state degrading to base config instead of an eval error) — because a
writeText/toFile state fixture is unreadable at flake-check eval time,
the new checks.display-profiles unit-tests the pure function directly.
Menu: System › Display gains a self-gated "Profiles ›" row (●/○ active
mark, Base layout to clear); commented template example + README row.
Verified: V0 (flake check, forcing the new check's asserts); V1 — a
scratch downstream through lib.mkFlake builds: the generated tool
passes bash -n with correct rules (disable/vrr/float scale), the baked
hyprland.conf shows the exact expected overlay, the menu renders, and
list/usage smoke-test clean. Remains: V3 live switching on a dock
(HARDWARE-QUEUE). Slices b (hotplug auto-switch) + c (workspace
binding) stay in item 15.

The last niceties slice: pick a pixel's color into the clipboard.
hyprpicker joins grim/slurp in systemPackages; a new nomarchy-menu
`colorpicker` mode captures its output, wl-copies it, and toasts the
hex (Esc = silent cancel). Tools › row self-gates on hyprpicker being
present; SUPER+CTRL+P added in keybinds.nix, so the Hyprland bind and
the SUPER+? cheatsheet row come from the one source. Item 13 complete
and deleted from BACKLOG.
Verified: V0 (flake check); V1 — template-home and template-system
build; rendered nomarchy-menu passes bash -n and contains the mode +
gated row; cheatsheet has the SUPER+CTRL+P row; hyprland.conf has the
bind; the system toplevel ships sw/bin/hyprpicker. Remains: V3 — real
loupe → click → wl-paste round-trip in a session (HARDWARE-QUEUE).

The bar colored the battery at 25/10% but nothing notified. New
shellcheck-gated watcher (pkgs/nomarchy-battery-notify, overlay) polls
the same sysfs the bar reads — type=Battery, scope!=Device — and fires
one toast per downward crossing (normal at 25%, critical at 10%; swaync
keeps critical up until dismissed), re-armed by charging. Self-gates on
battery presence (the powerprofile pattern), so desktops get a silent
no-op. HM user unit behind nomarchy.batteryNotify.enable (default on)
with libnotify on the unit PATH; notify-send resolves from PATH so the
VM check can shim it. poweralertd rejected: its UPower thresholds
(20/5) wouldn't match the bar, and it toasts every plug/unplug.
Verified: V0 (flake check, bash -n); V1 (template-home builds, unit in
the generation); V2 GREEN (new checks.battery-notify, test_power fake
battery: self-gate, silence at 80%, one toast per crossing, critical
urgency, charging re-arms). Remains: V3 — real swaync toast on a
draining laptop (HARDWARE-QUEUE).

Summer-night's whole-swap bar had an idle_inhibitor the generated bar
lacked (reverse parity gap from the 2026-07-04 sweep). The generated
bar now carries it — click → , warm tint while active, tooltips
saying what it holds — blocking hypridle's lock/display-off/suspend
for videos and presentations; state deliberately resets with the bar.
summer-day mirrors summer-night's module + CSS, and the keybinds
cheatsheet mentions the bar click (via keybinds.extra).
V1: rendered config has the module with correct glyphs, CSS rules
present, cheatsheet row renders. Inhibit behaviour needs a session →
V3 queued.

nomarchy-record owns the lifecycle: start prefers wl-screenrec (VAAPI
hardware encode) and falls back to wf-recorder if it dies at startup
(the no-VAAPI case), stop SIGINTs so the file finalizes cleanly, and
status feeds a self-gating Waybar ⏺ REC (alert red) whose click is
the one stop surface — signal 8 pokes make it appear/vanish
instantly. Capture gains Record region/screen (+ audio variants) and
self-swaps to '■ Stop recording' while one runs. Parity: both summer
whole-swap bars carry the same module. Recordings land in
~/Videos/Recordings with the screenshot timestamp naming (deviation
from 'next to Screenshots': an .mp4 in Pictures felt wrong).
V1: rendered bar config + CSS asserted, summer jsonc parse, recorder
dry-run state machine correct (idle/active/usage exits), both
recorders in home-path. Real capture needs a session → V3 queued
(incl. the VAAPI-vs-fallback check on the AMD box).

'Never has to master Nix' includes the error messages. The tool grows
validate_state (appearance schema = hard errors; settings.* and
unknown keys = warnings so menu writers and newer schemas keep
working), a read-only `validate` subcommand, and validation BEFORE
every write — an invalid set/apply is refused with the on-disk file
untouched. JSON syntax errors now say line, column, and fix. theme.nix
enforces the same schema at eval time (on the post-defaults state, so
sparse/older files still evaluate) and throws a message naming each
field, its got-value, and the fix paths — the hand-edit escape hatch
no longer ends in a Nix stack trace. Doctor's JSON fix-text points at
validate.
V1: new checks.theme-sync-validate fixture corpus green (good state,
trailing comma, bad hex, bad type, unknown key, refused set with
byte-identical file); negative mkFlake eval of a broken scratch
downstream shows the friendly throw; good-path template-home builds.

The things that actually break user machines, one command (and menu ›
System › Doctor): failed system/user units, disk space (real
filesystems only — fstype allowlist makes it VM/live safe, device
dedupe collapses / and /nix), theme-state.json parses + is
git-tracked, flake dirty/behind as warnings, generation age (profile
symlink mtime — store paths are epoch-1), snapper timeline when
enabled. Read-only by contract; every ✖ prints the one fixing command;
exit 1 on any problem. Ships as pkgs/nomarchy-doctor so the VM check
runs on a minimal node.
Verified: V1 package build (shellcheck-gated) + a real-hardware smoke
that correctly flagged a genuinely failed user unit on the dev box;
V2 green — checks.doctor VM test: induced failed unit flips the sheet
to exit-1 naming the unit and its fix, reset-failed returns healthy.

Undo is one menu away: the new rollback flow lists the last ten Home
Manager generations (the theme/config history is already generations,
newest marked current) and activates the picked one in a terminal —
HM's supported rollback, reversible by re-picking a newer one, so no
typed-yes gate. System-level undo deliberately links out rather than
reimplementing destructive flows in rofi: the Snapshots row opens the
existing gated flow, and 'boot an older generation (how)' fires an
instruction notification pointing at docs/RECOVERY.md §3 (which now
cross-references the menu path).
V1: template-home built, generated menu bash -n clean, row rendering
and pick-parsing verified against fixture generations output. V3
exercise queued.

The informative half of 'informative + rock-stable': both rebuild
wrappers capture /run/current-system before the switch and print a
package-level nvd diff after it — store-path-pinned so no PATH
dependence, || true so an ornamental diff can never fail a succeeded
rebuild, and an identical-path fast-path says 'no changes'. README §3
notes it. V1: template-system toplevel rebuilt, generated scripts
bash -n clean, nvd smoke-run against the real closure.

The complete-workstation gap: no PDF/image viewer shipped and nothing
set mime defaults, so 'open a photo' fell to GIMP. Two new default-on
toggles: nomarchy.viewers (programs.zathura — Stylix themes it, target
added to the explicit list — plus imv) and nomarchy.mime (mkDefault
xdg.mimeApps: pdf→zathura, image→imv, av→mpv, text→code, dir→thunar;
html/http(s)→firefox as inert entries that only activate when a
browser is installed — the ship-a-browser Decision stays open, now
smaller). Associations for absent apps are skipped by GIO, so the
whole thing degrades as the user curates the suite. Deviation from
the backlog text: viewers are a module toggle, not template package
lines — zathura's theming needs its HM module (the real-config
boundary of the toggle discipline).
V1: template-home generation asserted — mimeapps.list rendered, themed
zathurarc, binaries in home-path. V3 open-a-file smoke queued.

Audited every rofi -dmenu call site in the generated nomarchy-menu +
nomarchy-vpn. The earlier "Back everywhere" pass held up: power,
power-profile, theme, clipboard, files, audio, display (both stages),
capture, tools, system and all four VPN lists already end in ↩ Back.
Fixed: the keybinds cheatsheet — Enter on any row silently closed it;
it now ends in ↩ Back returning to the root picker (its launch point),
and Enter elsewhere stays a deliberate no-op.
Documented (rofi.nix, at the convention comment + call sites): external
modi (rofi-calc, rofi-emoji, networkmanager_dmenu, rofi-pulse-select)
cannot take an injected row — Esc is their back path; free-text
prompts (web, ask) have no list to append to.
Verified: V0; V1 (built nomarchy-menu, bash -n OK; awk audit over the
generated script shows the only back-less lists are the root picker —
by design — and the free-text prompt). V3 spot-check queued.

Source-read of the pinned networkmanager_dmenu 2.6.2: with
compact = False (what our config.ini set) the script inserts literal
empty rows as separators between the ethernet/wifi/VPN sections —
the nameless entries Bernardo saw on the Latitude. compact = True
drops the separators and uses the unpadded row format, which also
renders better in rofi's proportional font than space-aligned columns.
Known residual, documented in config comment + HARDWARE-QUEUE: a
hidden-SSID AP still renders one nameless row (sec+bars only; the
name dedup keeps exactly one, and no config option filters it). If the
V3 retest still shows it, the follow-up is a small source patch
skipping empty-name APs in create_ap_list.
Verified: V0; V1 (rendered config.ini shows compact = True). Behavior
needs Wi-Fi hardware — V3 queued on the Latitude.

Follow-on to the swaync fix (a643391): the generated Waybar CSS colored
the module row and #window @subtext and dim states @muted, and the
generated rofi theme put @fg text on @surface chips — invisible where
palettes use those roles as "on-surface" (flexoki-light: subtext==base,
surface==text; gruvbox: muted/base = 1.27). flexoki-light has no
whole-swap, so it ran this CSS. Generated surfaces only — the summer
whole-swaps are hand-authored and untouched.
- waybar: secondary text → alpha(@text, 0.85); dim states (inactive
workspaces, DND bell, muted volume) → alpha(@text, 0.5).
- rofi: @dim → text+"80", @surface → text+"1a" (#RRGGBBAA fg tints).
- check-theme-contrast.py pairings/docs now cover all three generated
surfaces; status glyphs (good/warn/bad on base, worst 2.05) are
deliberately not held to a text ratio — raising them is palette
design, a human decision.
Verified: V0; V1 (checks.theme-contrast green over 21 themes;
downstream-template-home builds; rendered waybar style has zero
@subtext/@muted/@surface; rendered custom.rasi shows fg-derived
tints). Honesty: NOT visually verified — V3 queued (flexoki-light
eyeball + dark-theme regression spot-check).

Palette roles aren't uniform: summer-day and flexoki-light use subtext
as text-ON-surface (== base) and surface as a dark chip (== text), so
swaync's @subtext-on-@base body text and @surface/@text buttons were
self-colored (caught on the Latitude).
- body/summary: @text on @base — the one text pairing that passes in
every palette (survey: worst WCAG ratio 5.18 across all 21 themes;
subtext/base bottomed at 1.00 twice, muted/base at 1.27).
- hover rows + widget-title buttons: alpha(@text, 0.1) tints —
contrast by construction; subtext/surface defines dropped.
- NEW checks.theme-contrast (tools/check-theme-contrast.py): asserts
the hex-on-hex text pairings across themes/*.json, cheap (no VM).
The audit also found the generated waybar/rofi CSS shares the bug
class, live on flexoki-light (no whole-swap) → BACKLOG item 27.
Verified: V0; V1 (checks.theme-contrast builds green, 21 themes;
rendered services.swaync.style has zero @subtext/@surface). Honesty:
NOT visually verified — V3 queued (notify-send on summer-day).

? is typed as Shift+/, so Hyprland saw mods SUPER+SHIFT with keysym
`question` and the exact-modmask match skipped the `$mod, question`
bind — the keypress fell through to the focused window (caught on the
Latitude, BACKLOG item 26; the menu itself was fine from a terminal).
- keybinds.nix: bind is now `$mod SHIFT, question`.
- rofi.nix prettyKeys collapses "SHIFT + ?" back to "?" so the
cheatsheet row keeps the documented SUPER + ? label.
- MEMORY.md gotcha: shifted keysyms need SHIFT in mods — invisible to
eval-tier tests.
Verified: V0 (flake check --no-build); V1 both surfaces (eval'd
settings.bind renders `$mod SHIFT, question, exec, nomarchy-menu
keybinds`; built nomarchy-menu's cheatsheet renders `SUPER + ?`).
V3 queued: SUPER+? on the Latitude after home-update + relogin.

Recovers the crashed iteration #7 (items 21+23, Latitude QA findings):
- nomarchy-waybar supervisor (waybar.nix, exec-once'd from
hyprland.nix): any waybar exit respawns the bar; crash-loop guard
(5 fast exits -> critical notify + stop); TERM trapped for a real
stop. Fixes the bar-less session after a theme-switch crash.
- nomarchy-theme-sync prefers a clean `pkill -x waybar` (supervisor
restart with fresh config+style) over the crash-prone in-place
SIGUSR2 reload when the supervisor is running; SIGUSR2 stays as the
unsupervised fallback.
- sys-rebuild: snapshot-first system rebuild against the CURRENT lock
(no `nix flake update`) — the no-update twin of sys-update;
README §3/§5 + motd list it.
Verified: V0 re-run green after crash recovery (flake check --no-build
+ py_compile); V1/V2 per the crashed session's journal entry (HM
renders exec-once=nomarchy-waybar; headless software-GL VM:
SIGKILL -> new pid, clean kill -> respawn, SIGUSR2 -> alive).
V3 pending on the Latitude (queued in HARDWARE-QUEUE.md).

SUPER+SHIFT+K → hyprctl switchxkblayout current next, rendered only
when the session layout has a comma — the same gate as the Waybar
language indicator. Bind data is a separate multiLayoutBinds list in
keybinds.nix (still one source); hyprland.nix and the rofi cheatsheet
gate on the identical condition, so bind and cheatsheet cannot drift.
`current` targets the focused keyboard, so per-device-overridden
boards (single layout) are a no-op.
Parity: hyprland/language (with the keyboard glyph) added to both
summer waybar.jsonc whole-swaps + #language in their CSS. Static JSON
cannot eval-gate, so on summer themes the module shows even with one
layout — parity-over-minimalism, deliberate. Found en route:
summer-night has an idle_inhibitor the generated bar lacks (reverse
gap) — folded into backlog item 13.
Also — agent/BACKLOG.md gains items 21-24 from Bernardo's Latitude
5410 hardware QA (waybar crash on theme switch + no respawn; nameless
network-menu rows; a no-update sys-rebuild; Back-everywhere audit),
queued ahead of everything; HARDWARE-QUEUE's snapshot re-test now
carries the "update to >= a47aa3a + relogin" precondition, since
findings 5/6 match the pre-polkit-agent behavior exactly.
Verified: V0 (flake check, both summer JSONs parse) + V1 both
directions (default single-layout build renders no bind; us,de via
extendModules renders bind AND cheatsheet row). V3 cycle check queued.

Re-diagnosis of the "btrfs-assistant 2.2 segfaults on launch" bug, and
the fix is not the planned nixpkgs override:
1. gdb: the crash is btrfs_util_subvolume_iterator_next() —
libbtrfsutil's UNPRIVILEGED subvolume-iteration path in btrfs-progs
6.17.1 (upstream-fixed after 6.17.1, kdave/btrfs-progs 886571653).
Symbol versions were checked and match: not ABI/link drift.
2. VM A/B on real btrfs: as root it works (exit 0); as a user it
segfaults (139). The pkexec launcher runs it as root — so the GUI
path was fine all along, except…
3. …the distro shipped NO polkit authentication agent: every pkexec
prompt in the session failed silently. That is the actual root
cause of "the GUI doesn't open".
Shipped: hyprpolkitagent (Hyprland's Qt agent — the prompt is
Stylix-themed) via exec-once in hyprland.nix; `nomarchy-menu snapshot`
prefers btrfs-assistant-launcher again, with the nomarchy-snapshots
fzf flow kept as fallback (and for SSH); checks.snapshot-gui guards
the root path + offscreen GUI event loop on a real btrfs volume so a
lock bump can't silently regress it. No btrfs-progs patch: all our
flows are root-side; the unprivileged fix arrives with a lock bump.
Verified: V0 (flake check) + V2 (snapshot-gui check, executed green) +
V1 (HM generation builds; hyprland.conf carries the agent exec-once;
generated menu passes bash -n with the launcher wiring). Remaining V3
queued: first on-hardware themed polkit prompt.

modules/nixos/oom.nix — running out of memory now kills the offending
process (with a desktop notification via systembus-notify) instead of
freezing the desktop for minutes until the kernel OOM killer fires.
earlyoom over systemd-oomd, deliberately: oomd kills whole cgroups,
and a Hyprland session runs as ONE scope (nothing here spawns per-app
systemd scopes, unlike GNOME) — under pressure oomd would take out the
entire desktop to save it. earlyoom kills the single largest process
before the thrash point. nixpkgs default-enables oomd in an inert
state (no slices monitored); it is disabled outright so there is one
owner. Session plumbing is --avoid-listed (unanchored — NixOS wrappers
rename comm to .foo-wrapped); no --prefer tuning, largest-RSS
selection already finds the hog. All mkDefault; opt out with
services.earlyoom.enable = false (README note added).
Verified: V0 (flake check) + V2 — new checks.oom-protection
runNixOSTest, executed: a chunked allocator (686 MB peak, 1 GB VM) is
SIGTERM'd by earlyoom in 0.1 s, a bystander unit survives (the
process-level granularity the module exists for), and systemd-oomd is
asserted inactive. 25 s runtime.

settings.autoCommit — toggled from System › Auto-commit (self-gated on
the flake being a git repo) — makes every nomarchy-theme-sync apply/set
also git-commit theme-state.json in the downstream flake, so settings
history is `git log`. Off by default.
Design: the flag is live-read by the tool on each write (nothing in Nix
consumes it → instant toggle, no rebuild, no new option); the commit is
pathspec-limited to theme-state.json so unrelated dirty files are never
swept up; it fires when the flag is on before OR after the write, so
the disable-toggle itself lands in history; same-value writes no-op
(diff against HEAD); missing git identity falls back to
Nomarchy <nomarchy@localhost>; `bg next` is deliberately excluded.
Rider fix: `get` now prints booleans JSON-style (true, not Python's
True) — un-sticking the System menu's "Auto timezone (on/off)" label,
whose `= true` comparison could never match. All shell consumers
already normalise true|True, so no other behavior change.
Verified: V0 (py_compile, nix flake check) + V1 (HM generation builds,
generated nomarchy-menu passes bash -n, wiring present in the rendered
script) + a 7-assertion sandbox-repo round-trip covering enable/set/
same-value/disable/post-disable/apply paths and the identity fallback.
Remaining: on-machine check queued in agent/HARDWARE-QUEUE.md.

Phase 3 of the in-flake-state philosophy (mirroring night-light + the
keyboard-layout watcher): a System ▸ Display menu item picks an output's
resolution and persists it into the flake instead of a runtime-only tweak.
- rofi.nix: the `display` case reads `hyprctl monitors -j` (auto-skips the
chooser with one output), lists the output's advertised modes (rounded
refresh, deduped, highest-first) plus the preferred/highres/highrr
tokens, applies the pick INSTANTLY via `hyprctl keyword monitor` —
keeping the output's current position + scale, so only the resolution
changes — then persists it with `nomarchy-theme-sync set
settings.monitors.<name> <mode> --no-switch` (no rebuild).
- theme.nix: seed `settings.monitors = {}` (output-name -> "WxH@R") so a
sparse/older state file still evaluates; exposed via nomarchy.settings.
- hyprland.nix: `resolvedMonitors` overlays settings.monitors onto
nomarchy.monitors by name — a declared output keeps its other fields
with only the resolution swapped, an undeclared output (wildcard-only,
e.g. the laptop panel) becomes a fresh rule. So a later rebuild bakes
the menu pick into the generated monitor rule — the monitor twin of the
keyboard graduation. The menu pick wins over a hand-set resolution (it's
the explicit live action).
Monitor connector names are dot-free, so a direct dotted set-path is safe
(no whole-map read-modify-write like the keyboard watcher needs).
VM-verified via a headless-Hyprland nixosTest (run + removed; too heavy
for a CI gate): the graduation baked the rule into the generated
hyprland.conf, the set/get round-trip persisted, and `hyprctl keyword
monitor` actually changed the reported resolution. Only the interactive
rofi picker isn't headlessly driveable (same caveat as the keyboard watcher).

Completes the remaining "Distro branding, round 2" work.
GRUB theme: hosts/live.nix builds nomarchyGrubTheme whose background is
the same composed splash as the isolinux/BIOS splash (accent logo on
base), with a palette-coloured boot menu and accent timeout bar. Derived
from nixos-grub2-theme only to reuse its bundled DejaVu .pf2; the stock
NixOS logo is dropped (ours is in the background). Wired as
isoImage.grubTheme so UEFI boot matches BIOS.
distroId: set system.nixos.distroId = "nomarchy" so os-release is honest
(ID=nomarchy, ID_LIKE=nixos). Safe — switch-to-configuration builds its
"is this NixOS?" guard from the configured distroId (and /etc/NIXOS is
the fallback), so rebuilds keep working. isNixos→false blanks the
nixos.org URLs, so extraOSReleaseArgs restores them to the project.
Adds checks.distro-id (runNixOSTest): boots distroId=nomarchy and runs
switch-to-configuration dry-activate green; os-release eval-verified from
the real downstream config; grub theme built + structure-verified.

The agent's SSH socket was only exported via the zsh integration, so a
GUI client launched outside a shell (rofi launcher, autostarted apps)
couldn't use gpg-agent for SSH. Add a home.sessionVariables export
resolving the socket with gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket — the
same lookup the shell integration uses, so the two can't drift — which
reaches GUI apps via the login shell that starts Hyprland (the path
NIXOS_OZONE_WL already takes).
Eval-verified: the var resolves to the gpgconf substitution; the home
config still builds.

The threshold was written boot-only, so a firmware that clears
charge_control_end_threshold on unplug would silently lose the cap
until the next reboot. Add a services.udev rule on the mains adapter
(ATTR{type}=="Mains", vendor-neutral) that restarts the oneshot via
systemctl --no-block on every AC state change. Uses restart (not
try-restart) so it re-applies even if the boot run was inactive.
Eval-verified: rule present when the charge limit is on, absent when
off; downstream-template-system still evaluates.

A built-in RGB+IR webcam (common on recent ThinkPads, e.g. the T14s AMD
Gen 4) exposes its IR face-unlock sensor as a second, identically-named
"Integrated Camera"; apps that pick it show a dark, 8-bit-greyscale
image. nomarchy.hardware.camera.hideIrSensor disables that node on the
V4L2 PipeWire path (WirePlumber monitor.v4l2.rules) so only the colour
camera is offered, matched by card name (overridable irMatch).
- libcamera is left untouched: an external camera you plug in is never
affected, and surgical internal-only libcamera scoping isn't possible
(its distinguishing props bind after the monitor rule runs).
- Only the PipeWire node is hidden; the kernel /dev/video* stays open,
so Howdy face-unlock still reads the IR sensor directly.
- The installer's hardware-db.sh auto-detects a paired RGB+IR webcam
from /sys/class/video4linux/*/name and bakes the toggle into
system.nix; commented example added to the downstream template.
Validated live on a T14s: collapses the four enumerated "Integrated
Camera" entries to one colour source; the exact shipped regex disables
the IR node (confirmed in the WirePlumber log) and leaves libcamera
intact.

nomarchy.services.tailscale now makes the login user the Tailscale
operator (services.tailscale.extraSetFlags = ["--operator=<username>"],
mkDefault), so `tailscale up/down/set` — and the System → VPN menu's
Tailscale controls — run without sudo. The user is already in wheel, so
the operator grant is no real new privilege, just skips the prompt.
nomarchy-vpn's Tailscale actions are now operator-aware: a ts_priv
helper runs the subcommand inline and only falls back to a sudo terminal
if the operator grant is absent (downstream dropped it). Connect brings
an authed-but-down node up inline; a node that still needs interactive
login goes to a terminal so the auth URL is visible.
Option description + template comment updated; ROADMAP follow-up closed.
System + home builds green.

A dedicated System → VPN flow (nomarchy-vpn) past the wifi picker:
- NetworkManager VPN/WireGuard connections shown ● active / ○ inactive,
toggled up/down on select (networkmanager-group users need no sudo).
- Import a *.conf / *.ovpn via the fd picker → nmcli connection import,
type chosen by extension. networkmanager-openvpn ships system-side
(networking.networkmanager.plugins, mkDefault) so the openvpn type is
available; WireGuard is native to NetworkManager.
- Tailscale block, self-gated on the CLI (= nomarchy.services.tailscale):
read-only status + up/down + exit-node; privileged actions go through a
sudo terminal (the snapshot pattern), no operator wiring.
Waybar custom/vpn shield (nomarchy-vpn-status): self-hides unless a NM
tunnel or Tailscale is up; @good tone; click opens the submenu. Wired
into the generated bar and both summer whole-swaps. Decided import-first;
creation deferred to nm-connection-editor. ROADMAP marked shipped.
Eval + home/system builds green; both scripts pass bash -n. Pending an
on-machine check (live nmcli import/connect + Tailscale paths).

nomarchy.system.autoTimezone (off by default): geoclue + automatic-
timezoned drive /etc/localtime from your location, so travelling to
another zone updates the Waybar clock on its own.
Menu-driven, in-flake state (the night-light / keyboard philosophy):
the flag is settings.autoTimezone in theme-state.json (git-tracked); a
System-menu entry toggles it. Because it's a SYSTEM service — not a user
unit it can start/stop instantly like night-light — the toggle
(nomarchy-autotimezone, run in a terminal) writes the flag --no-switch
then drives `sudo nixos-rebuild` (bakes the service + the time.timeZone
override) plus `home-manager switch` (the Waybar-refresh watcher); both
sides read the one flag.
- modules/nixos/timezone.nix: parses settings.autoTimezone from
nomarchy.system.stateFile (like Plymouth), gates geoclue2 +
automatic-timezoned, and mkForce-nulls time.timeZone — automatic-
timezoned sets it null at normal priority, which collides with the
installer's static value (a hard eval error), so force wins and
reverts cleanly when disabled. Ships the nomarchy-autotimezone toggle.
- modules/home/timezone.nix: a tiny user service watching timedate1's
change signal that reloads Waybar (SIGUSR2) on a real zone change, so
the clock follows live (Waybar captures the zone at construction).
Gated on the same flag via nomarchy.settings.autoTimezone.
- rofi menu: "Auto timezone (on/off)" in the System submenu.
- option + template example + ROADMAP entry; theme.nix seeds the flag.
Eval-verified on (geoclue+daemon on, tz forced null over a static
installer value, watcher present) and off (static tz intact, nothing
extra); home + system both build green. Needs an on-hardware check
(geoclue detection + the SIGUSR2 clock refresh aren't CI-testable).

Phase 2 of the in-flake-state philosophy, mirroring night-light: the
nomarchy-keyboard-watch daemon now remembers per-device layouts in the
git-tracked state file (settings.keyboard.devices) instead of
~/.local/state/nomarchy/keyboard-layouts.
- Reads the LIVE working-tree map (theme-sync get → jq) so a pick this
session is honoured at once; writes instantly with --no-switch (no
rebuild). Writes the whole map back at the dot-free parent path
(read-modify-write) so a device name with a dot can't corrupt the
tool's dotted set-path (Hyprland only sanitises spaces→-).
- Graduation: nomarchy.keyboard.devices now mkDefault-merges entries
from settings.keyboard.devices, so each remembered device becomes a
generated Hyprland device{} block on the next rebuild (reproducible,
hotplug-applied). A hand-written keyboard.devices.<name> still wins;
once baked, the watcher's is_declared check makes it step back.
- theme.nix seeds settings.keyboard.devices = {} (sparse state still
evaluates); options/template descriptions updated; ROADMAP marked done.
Eval-verified (graduation + mkDefault precedence) and the set/get
writer round-trips. Still needs the on-hardware hotplug re-verify (the
picker path isn't testable in CI).

Night light is off by default and configured entirely through the menu,
writing into the downstream flake instead of ~/.local/state — so the
choice is git-tracked and reproducible across a clone+rebuild.
Two flags under a new settings.* section of the state file (exposed as
the nomarchy.settings option):
- settings.nightlight.installed — sticky, gates the hyprsunset unit;
nomarchy.nightlight.enable mkDefault-reads it. First enable from the
menu rebuilds to create the unit (the one accepted rebuild).
- settings.nightlight.on — runtime on/off, toggled instantly
(theme-sync set --no-switch + systemctl), no rebuild. An ExecCondition
reads the live flag at session start so an off survives reboot;
splitting it from the sticky flag means a later unrelated rebuild
never undoes an instant-off (no decay).
Drops the ~/.local/state/nomarchy/nightlight-off marker and the
ConditionPathExists hack. theme-sync set now skips the wallpaper
re-apply for non-wallpaper keys, and its rebuild notifications are
generic ("changes" not "theme").
First cut of the broader principle — any user-settable config gets a
menu writer that lands it in the flake; no state outside the checkout.
Docs (README §4, ROADMAP, template) updated to reflect it.
Eval- and round-trip-verified; on-hardware check pending.

A `nomarchy-menu printers` entry opens system-config-printer (the CUPS
admin GUI), mirroring the bluetooth/blueman pattern: the printing service
ships the package via environment.systemPackages and the menu execs it,
self-gated on the system-config-printer binary so the entry appears only
when nomarchy.services.printing is on. No direct keybind (rare one-off).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A manual `off` now drops ~/.local/state/nomarchy/nightlight-off and the
hyprsunset unit refuses to (re)start while it exists
(Unit.ConditionPathExists=!%h/...), so the off survives logout/reboot
until toggled back on. `on`/toggle-on remove the marker before starting
(a failed condition would otherwise no-op the start). Without the marker
behaviour is unchanged: the service stays WantedBy=graphical-session.target
and resumes its schedule at login, so persistence is opt-in via the toggle.

networkmanager_dmenu writes a default config on first run, so an
unmanaged file can already sit at ~/.config/networkmanager-dmenu/
config.ini and abort `home-manager switch` with a clobber error. We
fully generate this file, so set force = true to overwrite it.

- network: replace the nmtui-in-a-terminal flow with networkmanager_dmenu
(native rofi wifi/VPN picker), configured via xdg config.ini to drive
rofi with rofi_highlight; editing a connection drops to nmtui.
- audio: new System -> Audio sink/source switcher via rofi-pulse-select,
self-gated on the PipeWire/pulse socket.
- search: case-insensitive fuzzy matching with fzf sorting across every
menu module and the launcher (so "system" finds "System").
Secrets module (rbw/pass) deferred — no Bitwarden/pass setup here.

Enable xdg.userDirs with createDirectories so a fresh install lands with
Downloads/Documents/Pictures/Music/Videos/Desktop/Public/Templates (plus
home-manager's Projects) present and written to user-dirs.dirs, rather
than appearing only on first app use. mkDefault so a downstream home.nix
can flip it off or remap individual paths.

Replace the plain-text `nomarchy-menu theme` list with a grid of real
desktop previews. The grid, the Name→slug map and the active `✓` mark
are generated at eval time from the preset JSONs (`readDir` + `fromJSON`
in rofi.nix); "active" is just `t.slug`, since every switch rebuilds the
menu. Grouped dark-first then light in one scrollable grid (the previews
make the mode obvious — no light/dark submenu split), `flow: horizontal`
so Down scrolls row-by-row.
Previews are committed as themes/<slug>/preview.png at 480×270 (~2.4 MB
for all 21). rofi's element-icon `size` is single-value → a *square*
cell that *contains* the icon, so a 16:9 preview would letterbox; a
build-time imagemagick step centre-crops each to a square so it fills
the cell edge-to-edge (source stays 16:9, crop is reversible). The
window width is derived from `themeGridIconW` so a column is exactly the
icon side — no slack margins. Themes without a preview degrade to a
plain-name row.

Add opt-in nomarchy.updates (modules/home/updates.nix): a nomarchy-updates
checker on a systemd user timer (interval, default daily) that surfaces a
Waybar indicator + a notification when updates are available, without ever
changing anything (you still run sys-update / flatpak update).
It counts:
- flake inputs behind upstream — only the flake's DIRECT inputs (root.inputs:
nixpkgs, the Nomarchy input, home-manager, stylix…), not the transitive
closure, via `git ls-remote` vs the locked rev. Offline → skipped, never a
false alarm.
- Flatpak updates, when the flatpak CLI is present (.flatpak, gated on
services.flatpak being on) — Bernardo's suggestion.
Waybar custom/updates self-gates (hidden until the timer finds something;
accent " N", signal 9 for instant refresh), in the generated bar and both
summer whole-swaps. The notification fires only when the count grows, so a
daily timer doesn't nag. Click → the upgrade flow in a terminal (sys-update /
flatpak update, each confirmed). nomarchy-updates ships always on PATH and
self-gates so the static whole-swap bars can exec it even when the feature
is off.
Verified: flake check clean; home generation builds; the jq direct-input
filter + status self-gate exercised against the real flake.lock; script
passes bash -n. Pending an on-machine check (ls-remote/notify/timer need a
live session).

Two menu improvements.
Back everywhere: every list menu now ends with a "↩ Back" entry that
returns one level up — power, theme, power-profile, clipboard, files,
capture, not just Tools/System — so you no longer have to Esc out and
reopen to back up. A `back` helper + a shared `BACK` label keep it uniform;
matched exactly so it can't collide with clipboard/filename content. Esc
still quits instantly.
Snapshot fallback: btrfs-assistant 2.2 segfaults on 26.05 (libbtrfsutil
ABI), so `nomarchy-menu snapshot` now launches nomarchy-snapshots instead —
a keyboard-driven snapper browser/restore. snapper is root-only here and
rofi can't run as root under Wayland, so it runs in a terminal via sudo
(one password prompt) and uses fzf to pick: browse/diff (read-only),
restore files (undochange), or roll back (root config only), each behind a
typed-`yes` confirmation — safer than a one-click rofi rollback.
btrfs-assistant stays installed for when nixpkgs fixes it.
Verified: flake check clean; home generation builds and the menu passes
bash -n with all Back + snapshot wiring; nomarchy-snapshots passes
shellcheck (writeShellApplication) in a snapper-enabled system build.
Pending an on-machine check of the restore/rollback paths.

Add a runtime toggle for the scheduled blue-light filter, the remaining
optional item on the night-light roadmap entry.
nomarchy-nightlight (nightlight.nix, always on PATH) starts/stops the
hyprsunset *service* rather than poking its runtime gamma: `systemctl
--user is-active` is the single source of truth, the screen restores to
true colours when stopped, and it lets you force the filter off for
colour-sensitive work (even at night) and back on without touching config.
It self-gates — `status` prints nothing when the unit is absent — so the
indicator hides itself when night-light isn't enabled.
- Menu: `nomarchy-menu nightlight` toggles it; a self-gated row in the
System submenu (shown only when the hyprsunset unit exists).
- Waybar: a self-gating `custom/nightlight` indicator (moon = on, sun =
off), in the generated bar and both summer whole-swap themes for parity.
Verified: home generation builds, generated waybar config carries
custom/nightlight, the menu has the dispatcher case + System row, both
scripts pass bash -n, and status self-gates to empty with no unit. Pending
an on-machine check that stopping hyprsunset cleanly restores the gamma.

Nomarchy roots are BTRFS, never ZFS, but the zfs module's `true` default for
forceImportRoot emits a warning on every eval/build ("recommended to set it
to false, the new default from 26.11"). Adopt that default early via
mkDefault — silences the noise, future-proofs for 26.11, and a real ZFS-root
downstream can still force it back on.

Harden the hardware-enablement broad seed for newer hardware:
- xe vs i915: intel.guc emits the i915 param (i915.enable_guc=3), which the
newer `xe` driver (Lunar Lake / Battlemage / Panther Lake, recent Xe GPUs)
ignores — it enables GuC by default. hardware-db.sh now reads the in-use
GPU driver (lspci -k) and writes `intel.guc = false` on xe hardware, so the
toggle isn't a misleading no-op there.
- NPU detection by PCI accelerator class [1200] (+ keywords), attributing the
vendor, instead of a fixed device-ID list — so new NPUs (e.g. Panther Lake)
are caught without a code change. Known IDs kept as a fallback/reference.
- Kernel awareness: a nomarchy.hardware.latestKernel escape hatch
(linuxPackages_latest) for very-new hardware whose drivers only just landed,
and a build-time warning when npu.enable predates the shipped kernel
(amdxdna needs 6.14+, intel_vpu wants recent). Downstream default is 6.18,
which already carries amd-pstate + amdxdna; the reference host pins latest.
- VM test (checks.hardware-toggles, pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest): boots a
minimal VM with the toggles on and asserts the config landed — amd_pstate
+ i915.enable_guc in /proc/cmdline, fprintd.service present, pam_fprintd in
/etc/pam.d/sudo. Passing. (Hardware behaviour still needs bare metal.)
Docs: README + template note latestKernel; ROADMAP records the hardening.

The nixos-hardware "common-*" profiles the installer selects cover the
basics (microcode, the Intel/AMD VA-API media stack, weekly fstrim), and
power.nix adds thermald + power-profiles-daemon. This adds the gap above
them, generically and detected at install time.
New modules/nixos/hardware.nix exposes a vendor-keyed nomarchy.hardware.*
surface — broadly-beneficial bits default ON when the vendor is detected
(opt-out), heavy/experimental bits behind opt-in toggles:
- intel.enable -> GuC/HuC (i915.enable_guc=3); intel.computeRuntime
(opt-in: intel-compute-runtime + vpl-gpu-rt)
- amd.enable -> amd_pstate=active + radeonsi VA-API env; amd.rocm.enable
+ amd.rocm.gfxOverride (opt-in: ROCm HIP/OpenCL)
- fingerprint.enable -> fprintd; fingerprint.pam (opt-in: login + sudo)
- npu.enable (opt-in/experimental) -> the in-kernel driver
(amdxdna/intel_vpu) keyed by vendor; userspace runtime is BYO
hardware-db.sh now detects Intel/AMD, a fingerprint reader (libfprint USB
vendor IDs) and an NPU (Intel VPU / AMD XDNA PCI IDs), emitting NOMARCHY
lines the installer bakes into system.nix — safe defaults active, opt-ins
commented. Audited against the commons to avoid double-setting.
Verified: flake check green; a toggles-on build has amd_pstate=active +
i915.enable_guc=3 in kernel-params and ships fprintd.service; detection
runs correctly on the (AMD Ryzen-AI) dev machine. On-hardware verification
of the AMD/NPU/Intel-compute runtime bits is still pending.
Docs: template commented examples, README option table, ROADMAP status.

The network/wifi indicator duplicated nm-applet, which already sits in the
tray (services.network-manager-applet.enable), so remove it from the bar.
And the power-profile speedometer glyph rendered noticeably smaller than
the neighbouring indicators, so bump its font-size (+3pt generated; 20px
summer-day, 17px summer-night).
Applied to the generated bar (waybar.nix) and both whole-swap themes
(summer-day/night waybar.{jsonc,css}) for parity.
