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.

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.

- Themed fuzzel (modules/home/fuzzel.nix): palette/fonts/border from the
JSON, themes/<slug>/fuzzel.ini whole-swap mechanism. Plus the
nomarchy-menu dispatcher: root picker · power (SUPER+Escape) · theme
(SUPER+T) · clipboard (SUPER+CTRL+V, cliphist) · calc (qalc) · files
(fd→xdg-open) · web (DuckDuckGo).
- swaync notifications themed from the JSON (SUPER+N) — until now nothing
rendered notify-send (theme toasts, font warnings, welcome msg).
- hyprlock + hypridle (modules/home/idle.nix): lock 5min, dpms off 10,
suspend 30; enables the power menu's Lock entry. cliphist daemon on.
- NetworkManager applet in waybar's tray (preferStatusNotifierItems);
network module on-click → $TERMINAL -e nmtui.
- nomarchy.keyboard.layout/.variant option → Hyprland kb_layout/kb_variant
(the installer writes it; pairs with system-side xkb for tty/LUKS).
- Media-key/audio on-click moved to wpctl (pamixer was inconsistent).
- Theme parity: summer-day/night carry their legacy bar LAYOUTS as
waybar.jsonc whole-swaps (the original import took waybar.css but not
config.jsonc, so identity themes styled nonexistent modules). Dead
legacy script-modules dropped, Nerd-Fonts-v2 codepoints → FontAwesome/v3
(font-awesome now shipped), logo buttons open nomarchy-menu.
New toggles: nomarchy.{fuzzel,swaync,idle}.enable (all default true).

- Plymouth boot splash ported from the legacy branch (modules/nixos/
plymouth/): logo + eased progress + LUKS entry, background tinted from
theme-state.json via the new nomarchy.system.stateFile (wired by
mkFlake/lib.nix; null → Tokyo Night fallback). Default on; OFF on the
live ISO (boot-message visibility on the install medium). Pulls
boot.initrd.systemd, which also drives the keyboard-at-LUKS feature.
- system.nixos.distroName = "Nomarchy" (os-release PRETTY_NAME,
systemd-boot entries, ISO menu label). distroId left "nixos" (feeds
DEFAULT_HOSTNAME + upstream isNixos checks — roadmapped).
- nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree distro-wide (here + both import-nixpkgs
sites) — unblocks claude-code for the menu's ask-Claude module.
- systemd-boot.configurationLimit = 10 so entries don't fill the ESP.
- Live ISO: nomarchy.idle.enable = false — hypridle was suspending the
VM mid-install (the install-hung regression); installed systems keep it.
- flake.nix offline pins (verified 0-leak via a foreign-identity
gap-analysis probe): the repo's own standalone HM gen + inputDerivations,
mustache-go + stdenv (stylix re-renders base16 per switch), microcode-amd/
intel (enableRedistributableFirmware activated updateMicrocode →
source-build cascade), buildEnv's builder.pl, findXMLCatalogs, and the
representativeInstall mirror (xkb/initrd-systemd/microcode).

nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree in the system module (covers the live ISO
via useGlobalPkgs and every mkFlake machine) plus the two explicit
`import nixpkgs` sites (repo + lib.nix) so the standalone HM desktop
sees the same package set. Unblocks claude-code for the menu system's
ask-Claude module, vendor drivers, etc. Opt out with
`nixpkgs.config = lib.mkForce { allowUnfree = false; }`.

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).

- 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.

Found by booting the live ISO (docs/TESTING.md checklist):
- pin HM configType = "hyprlang" (26.05 stateVersion defaults to the new
Lua config and renders these settings as broken hl.$mod(...) calls,
booting Hyprland into emergency mode)
- drop dwindle:pseudotile (removed in Hyprland 0.55; aborts config parse)
- disable splash rendering alongside the logo
- launch awww-daemon and call awww with swww fallback (nixpkgs' swww is
the renamed awww fork; no `swww` binary exists anymore)

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.
