Close the honesty gap on #45. Rendered the full Boreal desktop
headlessly (tools/theme-shot.nix, softGL 1920x1080) and confirmed the
session reads as Boreal — aurora wallpaper, Waybar violet accent
(#B79BE8) workspace pill, GeistMono clock, rofi launcher violet
prompt/selection — not Tokyo Night. Added themes/boreal/preview.png
(480x270, matches the existing 21) so the picker row is no longer
plain-name.
theme-shot: park the cursor bottom-right before the desktop shot so the
frame (which doubles as the preview source) is clean; reusable for the
other two missing previews.
Verified: V0 flake check; V2 theme-shot desktop/menu shots viewed;
contrast 24x7 pass. Preview is a headless bare-desktop capture (not the
floating-terminal composition of the others) — hardware recapture noted.

Seed theme-state.json and the downstream template from themes/boreal.json
(including border + empty settings). Point eval/schema fallbacks at Boreal
(theme.nix preset, plymouth and live-ISO splash colors, theme-shot, sync
error examples). Docs/TESTING and RECOVERY follow the new default.
Verified: state matches boreal palette; theme-contrast all pass.
preview.png for boreal still missing (picker plain-name; V3 capture).
theme-shot guests had no ~/.nomarchy, so the session's exec-once
`nomarchy-theme-sync wallpaper` died on missing state and captures
showed a bare base-color backdrop. Seed theme-state.json via tmpfiles
before greetd starts the session — the real exec-once path now paints.
(A post-boot testScript seed is too late for exec-once, and a manual
re-run fails without WAYLAND_DISPLAY: awww's client socket is
display-named.)
V2: summer-night capture renders wallpaper + inverted cream bar +
menu + placeholder dim, all coherent.

tools/theme-shot.nix: boots the full themed desktop headlessly
(software-GL Hyprland, THEME env picks the slug) at 1920x1080 and
QMP-dumps desktop.png + menu.png (rofi root open) — the review
artifact for slice (c). Two fixes over the 2026-06-19 spike:
home-manager.useGlobalPkgs (the HM submodule otherwise misses the
overlay) and the menu shot via hyprctl dispatch exec. Maintainer tool,
deliberately not a checks.* gate. Known gap in the header: the
wallpaper needs ~/.nomarchy seeded in the guest.
First full-res review (tokyo-night) added to the item-28 punch list:
rofi root menu is ~760px of mostly empty row space (candidate:
right-aligned SUPER+CTRL hints from keybinds.nix), full-color Papirus
menu icons vs the all-monochrome bar glyphs is a [human] identity
call, bar right-cluster group margins confirmed at full res, and the
bar's alpha(text,.5) dim states should become the @muted role now
that 28b floors guarantee its legibility. Whole-swap bar module
parity verified textually — no drift.
Verified: harness end-to-end green (screenshots read back); evals
from tools/ via the relative flake path.
