After the cancel-branch sweep, the remaining UX inconsistency was in
action branches: changing one setting kicked the user out of the menu,
forcing a relaunch to change the next. Brought 16 actions across 5
submenus into the same return-to-self pattern theme/background got.
Classification rule applied:
- Quick-state actions (toggle, set, restart-service - finishes in
milliseconds, no window opens) -> back_to <self>, so the user can
chain "toggle nightlight, then toggle gaps, then restart waybar"
without rerunning nomarchy-menu each time.
- Window-opening actions (editor, floating terminal, audio/wifi/bt
launcher, browser, hyprpicker overlay, screenshot, screenrecord,
share dialogs, lock/shutdown/logout) stay as one-shot exits -
re-popping the menu over the new window would be visual noise.
Submenus changed:
- show_toggle_menu (8 toggles): screensaver, nightlight, idle, top
bar, workspace layout, window gaps, 1-window ratio, display scaling.
- show_setup_power_menu: powerprofilesctl set returns; cancel still
goes up to show_setup_menu (different destinations on each branch,
so the if/else stays).
- show_font_menu: nomarchy-font-set returns; cancel still goes up.
- show_setup_system_menu: the suspend toggle (quick) returns;
hibernate enable/disable (terminal) still exit.
- show_update_process_menu (5 service restarts): hypridle, hyprsunset,
swayosd, walker, waybar.
For dynamically-rendered menus (show_setup_system_menu rebuilds its
options each invocation based on current state) this also gives free
visual feedback - the toggle's label flips between "Enable Suspend"
and "Disable Suspend" when the menu re-renders.

Audit of all show_*_menu functions after the theme/background fix found
11 more cancel branches that called their parent directly instead of
back_to. None are reachable from current keybindings (today's direct
invocations target submenus that already use back_to), so the bug is
latent — but any future `nomarchy-menu <area>` keybinding into one of
these would bounce the user into the parent on Esc instead of exiting
cleanly, the exact bug that prompted the previous commit's fix to
show_theme_menu / show_background_menu.
Mechanical sweep:
*) show_main_menu ;; -> *) back_to show_main_menu ;; (5 sites)
*) show_setup_menu ;; -> *) back_to show_setup_menu ;; (3 sites)
*) show_update_menu ;; -> *) back_to show_update_menu ;; (3 sites)
Behavior under nested navigation (BACK_TO_EXIT=false) is unchanged:
back_to falls through to calling the parent function by name. Only
direct-invocation cancel paths gain the correct exit-0 behavior.
Action branches and go_to_menu's dispatch table intentionally still use
direct calls — those are forward navigation, not cancel.

The menu navigation contract: a submenu invoked directly via keybinding
(BACK_TO_EXIT=true, set by go_to_menu when nomarchy-menu is launched
with a target argument) should `exit 0` after the user's action; a
submenu invoked from a parent menu (BACK_TO_EXIT=false) should call
`back_to <parent>` to return where the user came from. back_to() honors
both modes.
Three submenus violated the contract:
- show_theme_menu and show_background_menu shell out to walker's
Elephant plugin and don't call back_to. After picking a theme or
wallpaper from Main -> Style -> Theme, the script exits silently
instead of returning to Style; the user has to relaunch the menu
from scratch to change anything else.
- show_hardware_menu's cancel branch called show_trigger_menu directly
instead of back_to show_trigger_menu, which would have bounced a
direct-keybinding caller into Trigger instead of exiting cleanly.
Adds the missing back_to call to the two walker-backed submenus
(parented to show_style_menu) and converts the hardware cancel branch
to back_to. The 16 other show_*_menu functions already conform.

Theme-switching ran systemctl --user restart waybar.service, which tears
down waybar's wayland layer-shell surface and creates a new one
back-to-back. Hyprland needs a frame to clear the destroyed surface; the
new instance attaches its surface immediately, so for a frame or two the
old waybar pixels remain visible behind/under the new bar - the
"artifacts and old colors on top of new" symptom most visible on the
fresh compositor of the live ISO.
Switch to SIGUSR2 reload, which makes waybar re-read config.jsonc and
CSS (including @import-ed files like ~/.config/nomarchy/current/theme/
waybar.css that theme-switch rewrites) without destroying the surface.
Full systemctl start is kept for the cold-start case.
Drive-by: replace the `systemctl list-unit-files` presence check with
`systemctl cat` - list-unit-files returns 0 even on no-match, so the
old check would always pick the systemctl branch and never fall through
to the pkill fallback on systems where waybar isn't a systemd unit.

Two detector bugs fixed:
1. grep_includes missed *.lua, *.ini, *.desktop, *.json — so callers in
elephant providers (lua), mako on-button-* hooks (ini), and any future
MimeType-registered URL handlers (.desktop) were invisible. Adding them
reclassifies nomarchy-notification-dismiss and nomarchy-theme-bg-set
from `unused?` to `kept` (true callers in mako/core.ini and the
elephant background_selector lua).
2. The all_refs regex `nomarchy-[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]+` greedily captured
trailing dashes, producing junk missing-tokens like `nomarchy-pkg-`,
`nomarchy-cmd-`, `nomarchy-restart-`, etc. from glob references like
`for c in nomarchy-pkg-*`. Tightened to require an alphanumeric end
character. Also restricted to grep_includes so the binary tmpfile
path `nomarchy-menu-rows` no longer leaks in.
New .githooks/pre-commit re-runs the generator and stages docs/SCRIPTS.md
whenever a nomarchy-* script changes. Enable per clone with
`git config core.hooksPath .githooks` (now mentioned in docs/AGENT.md).
Net audit shift after regen: unused? scripts 31→29, missing tokens 30→28,
no false-positive prefix tokens remain.

- Installer prompts for keyboard layout (with optional variant) and locale
via curated short list + Other… fallback into the full localectl list;
applies to the live session immediately (loadkeys + hyprctl) so the
rest of the install types correctly. Generated system.nix emits
console.keyMap, i18n.defaultLocale, and services.xserver.xkb.{layout,
variant}.
- New nomarchy.{system,}.formFactor enum (laptop|desktop, default laptop).
Installer auto-detects via /sys/class/power_supply/BAT* and lets the
user flip the answer. Waybar drops the battery widget on desktop;
battery-monitor service is gated on the same option.
- Lift waybar tray out of the collapsed group/tray-expander in the default
theme so nm-applet's icon is visible without expanding the drawer.
- Live ISOs (TTY + graphical) get baseline mkDefault keyMap/locale so the
installer's runtime override always wins.

Tier A removals — small, half-wired modules nobody had asked for:
- makima (Copilot-key remapper): drop core/system/makima.nix, the
features/apps/makima/ keyboard.toml, the nomarchy-restart-makima script,
the `nomarchy.system.features.makima` option, the state-file binding,
the import in core/system/default.nix, and the "Key Remapping" entry
in nomarchy-menu. ~50 LoC + a service nobody asked for.
- Typora theme dir (core/home/config/Typora/) — Typora is a paid tool
Nomarchy doesn't even ship; the SUPER+SHIFT+W keybinding pointed at a
binary that wasn't on PATH.
- xournalpp settings (core/home/config/xournalpp/) — referenced
/usr/share paths that don't exist on NixOS.
- core/home/config/environment.d/fcitx.conf — manual env vars are
redundant once fcitx5 routes through NixOS's i18n.inputMethod.
Optionalization — three half-wired features now sit behind explicit
toggles, all default off (except keyring which keeps its existing
default-on):
- nomarchy.system.inputMethod.enable: new core/system/input-method.nix
uses NixOS's i18n.inputMethod with fcitx5 + mozc/chinese/table addons.
Drops the Hyprland exec-once line — i18n.inputMethod handles autostart.
- nomarchy.system.voxtype.enable: marker option for users who install
voxtype out-of-band (it's not in nixpkgs). Today it just documents
intent; the existing keybinding + waybar widget no-op gracefully.
- nomarchy.apps.opencode.enable: gates the existing
features/apps/opencode/default.nix xdg.configFile so the opencode
config only deploys when the user opts in.
Installer:
- system.nix and home.nix templates now surface the new toggles in their
"Optional Nomarchy modules" comment blocks.

- 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.
