features/apps/kitty/config/kitty.conf:1 contains
include ~/.config/nomarchy/current/theme/kitty.conf
and features/apps/ghostty/config/config:2 contains
config-file = ?"~/.config/nomarchy/current/theme/ghostty.conf"
Neither file existed for any of the 22 palettes. The kitty include
failed silently and the ghostty include is optional (?-prefix), so both
terminals rendered with built-in default colors regardless of the
active Nomarchy theme.
Stylix has kitty.enable = true in themes/engine/stylix.nix but the
kitty module uses xdg.configFile rather than programs.kitty, so the
Stylix target had nothing to hook into. ghostty has no Stylix target at
all.
Generated both files from the active palette's base16 colors in
themes/engine/files.nix, mirroring the waybar.css pattern already there.
Color mapping reproduces the original colors.toml fields (background,
foreground, cursor, selection_*, color0..15) via base16 indices —
verified against the inverse mapping in themes/palettes/default.nix.
themes/palettes/summer-day/apps/kitty/kitty.conf (a 76KB stray file in
the wrong tree location) is unaffected by this fix — it was already
dead surface since the include path never resolved to it.
Two clusters of documented-but-non-functional options surfaced during
the Pillar 8 audit, both setting toggles that have zero runtime effect.
1. `nomarchy.toggles.skipVsCodeTheme` was declared in
core/home/options.nix, defaulted from lib/state-schema.nix, and
surfaced as `NOMARCHY_TOGGLE_SKIP_VSCODE_THEME` env var in
features/scripts/default.nix — but `features/apps/vscode.nix` always
sets `workbench.colorTheme` unconditionally, and no script reads the
env var. Setting the toggle to true did nothing. Removed from
options, schema, state, env-var export, and OPTIONS.md.
2. `nomarchy.themeLoader.apps.{waybar,mako,kitty,alacritty}` were
declared in themes/engine/loader.nix but only `btop` is actually
wired (line 87 gates the per-theme btop.theme deploy). The other
four had no consumer. The actual theming pipeline for those apps is
elsewhere: waybar themes inline from `colorScheme` in waybar.nix;
kitty and alacritty are themed by stylix targets in
themes/engine/stylix.nix; mako has no theme integration at all.
Removed the four dead options + updated OPTIONS.md to list only
btop with a note about where the other apps' theming lives.
`themes/engine/sddm.nix` defaulted `services.displayManager.autoLogin`
to `enable = true; user = "nomarchy";` (both mkDefault). The installer
flow overrode both with the real username at normal priority, so this
was invisible there — but a hand-migrated user (per docs/MIGRATION.md)
who imported `nomarchy.nixosModules.system` without setting
`autoLogin.user` would auto-login as a nonexistent "nomarchy" user and
SDDM would error. `docs/MIGRATION.md` even documented the override as a
post-import chore.
Flipped the default to `enable = lib.mkDefault false`. Installer
generates `enable = true` directly so its flow is unchanged. Migration
flow now gets the safe default — opt-in instead of opt-out — and the
docs row is updated to reflect the new shape.
The hardcoded "nomarchy" username fallback for `autoLogin.user` is the
same class of bug as the impermanence persistence block was. A future
roadmap row to consolidate "primary user" across impermanence,
autoLogin, and any future modules might be worthwhile, but it's
deferred — this commit is the immediate fix.
Found during Pillar 8 audit of first-boot UX.
- Update lib/state-schema.nix to default both home and system themes to 'summer-night'.
- Fix 'nomarchy-theme-list' and 'nomarchy-theme-set-templates' to resolve themes and templates from '~/.local/share/nomarchy' instead of the obsolete '$NOMARCHY_PATH' (fixing failures on Live ISO).
- Update 'nomarchy-welcome' to properly convert Title Case theme display names back to kebab-case identifiers and add input validation to prevent crashes.
- Fix installer impermanence symlink by using a relative path ('../persist/etc/nixos'), ensuring it resolves during 'nixos-install' both inside and outside the chroot.
- Deploy '~/.XCompose' symlink via Home Manager and add 'nomarchy-restart-xcompose' to the menu.
- Relocate 'Nomarchy.ttf' to 'core/branding/' and move user-level scripts ('pkg-add', 'pkg-remove', 'env-update', 'preflight-migration') to 'features/scripts/utils/' to align with the distro architecture.
- Remove obsolete '$NOMARCHY_PATH' exports and redundant 'bashrc' template.
- Export theme templates via 'xdg.dataFile' for script accessibility.
The audit's "missing references" table held 15 rows — 2 real doc bugs and
13 grep false-positives — making Pillar 3 Phase B triage noisier than it
needed to be.
- Wrote themes/engine/scripts/nomarchy-theme-next so SKILL.md's documented
"cycle to next theme" command actually resolves.
- Scrubbed three stale `nomarchy-dev-*` references from SKILL.md (skill
frontmatter, body, and Out-of-Scope list) — they hallucinated a workflow
that doesn't exist and broke AI-assisted use of the skill.
- Added a line-context filter to both nomarchy-docs-scripts generators
that drops `nomarchy-*` tokens appearing in Nix pname/derivation idents,
/tmp/ and /etc/sudoers.d/ paths, nixosConfigurations.* / packages.*
flake outputs, mktemp -t prefixes, systemd unit vars, ./result/bin/run-
binaries, and docker container references.
- Added a small token-level denylist for five residual non-script
identifiers (nomarchy-plymouth, nomarchy-sddm-theme, nomarchy-live,
nomarchy-rev, nomarchy-windows) that survive line filtering because
they appear as bare Nix list refs, comment backticks, or compose-heredoc
identifiers.
Regenerated docs/SCRIPTS.md; the "Missing references" section is now
empty. Logged in docs/ROADMAP.md Shipped.

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.

nomarchy-theme-set chains six optional "tell each app the theme changed"
steps. Each used `command -v X && X || true`, which collapsed two very
different outcomes into the same silent path:
- X isn't installed -> skip (correct, expected, fine)
- X exists but returned non-zero -> skip (wrong - user just got a
half-applied theme with zero feedback about which app didn't refresh)
Replaced the inline guards with a small helper that distinguishes
absent from failed and accumulates real failures into a list. At the
end of the run, if anything failed, we notify-send a single message
naming the apps that didn't refresh ("Did not refresh: Waybar, btop")
and echo the same to stderr. The theme apply itself still completes -
we don't abort the chain on one failure - so the user gets the partial
benefit AND the diagnostic.
Same pattern as the waybar SIGUSR2 fix (386da51): make the hot path
loud about real problems while staying quiet about expected
no-installed states.

Phase B verdict on two unused? entries in the theme-engine scripts.
- nomarchy-theme-set-obsidian: real script that copies the active
theme's obsidian.css into every Obsidian vault under
~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json. Wires it into nomarchy-theme-set
next to the btop/opencode hot-reloads. Self-gates twice (no
obsidian.css → exit 0; no .obsidian dir → continue), so it's a
no-op for users without Obsidian.
- nomarchy-theme-set-vscode: delete-dead. Its own comment admitted
it was "mostly a placeholder"; its only action (nomarchy-env-update)
is already done unconditionally upstream by nomarchy-theme-set.
The NOMARCHY_TOGGLE_SKIP_VSCODE_THEME env var it gated on is
exported by features/scripts/default.nix:73 from
nomarchy.toggles.skipVsCodeTheme, but with this script gone there
are no consumers; the toggle survives as a public option until a
follow-up wires it through the VSCode module properly.
SCRIPTS.md regenerated: unused? 34 → 32, kept 165 → 166. nix flake
check clean.

Phase B verdict on two unused? scripts — both inline comments
claimed they were "used by the Nomarchy theme switching", but the
switcher (themes/engine/scripts/nomarchy-theme-set) only restarted
walker, waybar, and the wallpaper service. So btop and opencode
stayed on the old palette after `nomarchy-theme-set <foo>` until
the user closed and reopened them by hand.
Wires both into nomarchy-theme-set, alongside the existing walker /
waybar restart calls. The check-then-call (`command -v ... &&`)
matches the surrounding style — a missing helper is a no-op, not a
fatal.
SCRIPTS.md regenerated: unused? 36 → 34, kept 163 → 165.

- 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.
