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).

- 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).

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.
