nomarchy-launch-walker guarded its manual elephant start with
`pgrep -x elephant`, which never matches the Home Manager service's actual
process name `.elephant-wrapped` (Linux truncates comm to 15 chars). So every
menu invocation spawned a second elephant that races elephant.service for the
socket — a latent source of menus intermittently coming up empty.
Gate on `systemctl --user is-active elephant.service` first, with a working
`pgrep -f elephant-wrapped` fallback for non-service setups; do the same for
walker.service. Verified in a headless system.build.vm: opening the theme menu
now keeps the elephant process count at 1 (was 2) and the menu still renders.

These existed only to ease muscle-memory from Arch-based distros and add
no behavior on a Nix-native system:
- nomarchy-pkg-install — alias for nomarchy-pkg-add
- nomarchy-pkg-drop — alias for nomarchy-pkg-remove
- nomarchy-pkg-aur-add — stub that only printed "AUR doesn't exist on NixOS"
The single code caller (nomarchy-voxtype-remove) was removed in the prior
commit, so the shims have no remaining references. SKILL.md updated to use
nomarchy-pkg-add and to point at `nix search nixpkgs` instead of the AUR.

Voxtype voice-typing was a full feature (5 scripts, a waybar widget, a
keybind, and a NixOS option) that this install does not use. The
nomarchy.system.voxtype option had no consumer — nothing read it — so the
widget and SUPER+CTRL+X bind were never actually gated by it.
Removes the scripts, default config, the SUPER+CTRL+X bind, the waybar
module (main + summer-night theme + css), the dead option, the installer
comment, and the docs. SCRIPTS.md/KEYBINDINGS.md regenerated; OPTIONS.md
and SKILL.md hand-updated.

The default theme's clock#date wired on-click to `kitty calcurse`, but
kitty isn't a default-installed app (alacritty is the terminal) and
calcurse isn't installed anywhere — so clicking the date did nothing.
The default config.jsonc uses xdg-terminal-exec/alacritty for its
clicks and summer-day's date has no on-click. Drop the dead action
(tooltip: false), matching summer-day.
Found during the Pillar 9 Component 6 (apps) pass, which confirmed
btop/ghostty/kitty/lazygit/tmux ship config-only by design (the
installer/user picks the binary) — not a bug. Logged two follow-ups:
summer-day's wofi --term=kitty launcher, and shipping a calendar app.

The summer-night waybar config defined a custom/battery module
(exec nomarchy-battery-status) but never listed it in any modules-*
slot, so it was orphaned and never rendered. summer-night is the
default theme, so a laptop on a stock install had no battery
indicator — the default fallback config and the summer-day theme
both place battery in modules-right; only summer-night omitted it.
Add custom/battery to summer-night's modules-right. The formFactor
filter (laptopOnlyModules) already lists custom/battery, so it shows
on laptop and is dropped on desktop. Found during the Pillar 9
Component 9 (form-factor split) verification pass.

Found by driving the menu's observable actions live in a VM with the real
session env imported. All three are also bound to keybindings.
1. nomarchy-hyprland-window-single-square-aspect-toggle (1-Window Ratio,
SUPER CTRL BACKSPACE): read/set layout:single_window_aspect_ratio, which
is "no such option" in Hyprland 0.52.1 — the option lives under dwindle:.
The getoption returned nothing and the keyword set was silently dropped,
so the toggle did nothing. Point it at dwindle:single_window_aspect_ratio.
2. nomarchy-hyprland-workspace-layout-toggle (Workspace Layout, SUPER L):
read .tiledLayout off `hyprctl activeworkspace -j` (no such key → always
null) and switched to "scrolling" (not a built-in layout — hyprctl
layouts lists only dwindle/master), so it silently no-op'd. Rewrite to
toggle the real general:layout between dwindle and master.
3. show_setup_menu offered Power Profile unconditionally, but powerprofilesctl
is absent everywhere (power-profiles-daemon is force-off on laptop in
favour of TLP and never enabled on desktop), so the entry died with
"command not found". Gate it behind `command -v powerprofilesctl`.
Verified (1) and (2) against live Hyprland in the VM: aspect flips
[0,0]<->[1,1], layout flips dwindle<->master.

All three confirmed real on inspection.
1. nomarchy-refresh-config was dead on every system: it read
/etc/nixos/nomarchy/{core/home/config,features} (the source tree never
lands there — only /etc/nomarchy on VM-guest/live ISO) and fell back to
~/.local/share/nomarchy/config, which nothing deployed despite SKILL.md
documenting it. Deploy the pristine core/home/config tree to
~/.local/share/nomarchy/config via xdg.dataFile and read from there, so it
works without a source checkout; its live caller nomarchy-refresh-fastfetch
now succeeds. Fix two stale SKILL.md examples (waybar/, hypr/) that pointed
at non-existent stock paths.
2. nomarchy-docs-scripts shipped a stale divergent copy in
features/scripts/utils/ (in the user nomarchy-system-scripts package)
beside the canonical bin/utils dev tool — it errored outside the repo.
Grounding it surfaced the identical bug in nomarchy-docs-keybindings.
Delete both duplicates, add them to the generator's self-reference
denylist so they don't show as false `missing`, regenerate docs/SCRIPTS.md.
3. Home ~/.config/nomarchy/state.json was never seeded on non-installer
systems, so nomarchy-installed-summary rendered "—" for theme/font/panel.
Add an idempotent home-manager activation seed in core/home/state.nix that
backfills the resolved values (defaults * existing — user choices and
runtime-only keys like welcome_done always win).
Verified: flake check + full eval matrix clean; refresh-config happy/error
paths and the seed deep-merge proven by hand.

Same footgun as the home.packages fix, found by sweeping the tree for
`mkDefault` on list options that other modules contribute to at normal
priority (so filterOverrides discards the mkDefault def entirely):
* themes/engine/sddm.nix — environment.systemPackages = mkDefault
[ nomarchy-sddm-theme ] was dropped, so the SDDM greeter theme package
was never installed (unthemed login).
* themes/engine/plymouth.nix — boot.kernelParams = mkDefault [ quiet
splash loglevel=3 … ] was dropped, so boots weren't quiet/clean.
* features/desktop/waybar/default.nix — home.packages = mkDefault
[ font-awesome ] was dropped, so waybar's icon font was missing.
Verified via eval: nomarchy-sddm-theme now in systemPackages, "quiet" in
kernelParams, font-awesome in home.packages. Left the genuinely-safe
single-definition mkDefaults alone (plymouth.themePackages,
resolved.fallbackDns, hyprsunset.extraArgs) and the hybridGPU videoDrivers
mkDefault (it outranks nixpkgs' mkOptionDefault on real hardware).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Chasing a "DBus.Error … name is not activatable" from notify-send (mako),
the root cause turned out to be far bigger: home.packages in
features/default.nix was wrapped in lib.mkDefault. home.packages is a
list, and the module system's filterOverrides keeps only the
highest-priority definitions — so the moment any other module sets
home.packages at normal priority (features/scripts/default.nix's
`[ nomarchy-scripts ]`, the installer's profile packages), this entire
mkDefault list was DROPPED. Every install was silently missing firefox,
thunar, imv, mpv, swww, mako, hyprlock, rofi, etc. — which broke
notifications (mako never installed → exec-once fails → notify-send dead)
and the lock screen (hyprlock missing), and hid a stale `rofi-wayland`
reference (merged into `rofi` upstream) that only errored once the list
was live again. Remove the mkDefault so the list merges (home.packages =
52 pkgs, up from 31; mako/hyprlock/firefox/… now present) and fix
rofi-wayland -> rofi.

Pillar 9 VM test: after the menu-registration fix, the walker background
selector menu opened but still showed "No Results". Its GetEntries ran
`find <dir> -type f`, but home-manager deploys the per-theme background
images as symlinks into the nix store, and `-type f` doesn't follow
symlinks. Add -L (the sibling nomarchy_themes.lua already uses `find -L`).
Verified in the VM: `find -type f` -> 0, `find -L` -> the backgrounds.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pillar 9 VM test: the walker theme picker (and background selector)
returned "No Results". Root cause: nomarchy_themes.lua and
nomarchy_background_selector.lua (elephant lua menu providers named
"nomarchythemes" / "nomarchyBackgroundSelector") were deployed via the
bulk nomarchy config to ~/.config/nomarchy/default/elephant/ — outside
elephant's provider search path, so elephant never registered them and
`nomarchy-launch-walker -m menus:nomarchythemes` (used by nomarchy-theme,
nomarchy-wallpaper, and nomarchy-menu Style submenu) had no backing menu.
Move them into the elephant config (features/apps/elephant/config/menus/)
so they deploy to ~/.config/elephant/menus/. Verified on a fresh VM boot:
`elephant listproviders` now lists menus:nomarchythemes +
menus:nomarchyBackgroundSelector, and the walker theme picker renders all
21 palettes with per-theme preview images.

Booting the VM showed "line 31: compgen: command not found" from
nomarchy-installed-summary on first boot. compgen is a bash
programmable-completion builtin, and the non-interactive bash the script
gets wrapped with (via makeWrapper + patchShebangs) is compiled without
progcomp. Beyond the visible error, the battery-presence check silently
failed to the else branch, so a laptop was always reported as "desktop".
Replace `compgen -G` with a nullglob array (a shopt, always available).
The installer's identical check runs under the ISO's interactive bash, so
it was unaffected — this script is the only compgen user.

programs.vscode.extensions was renamed to
programs.vscode.profiles.default.extensions in home-manager. The bare
option still worked via the compat shim but emitted a deprecation
warning on every eval (21× — once per home evaluation in flake check)
and will break when the alias is dropped. userSettings already lived
under profiles.default; extensions now joins it.

Before this fix, only the 6 palettes whose theme extensions ship in
pkgs.vscode-extensions had working VSCode theming. Every other palette
had `workbench.colorTheme` set to a name VSCode couldn't find, so it
silently fell back to its built-in default. Including the DEFAULT
summer-night palette (sainnhe.everforest) — the default install had
broken VSCode theming.
Probed the 13 unique extensions against the VSCode marketplace
extensionquery API:
- 10 exist and are pinnable: sainnhe.everforest,
shadesOfBuntu.flexoki-light, qufiwefefwoyn.kanagawa,
oldjobobo.{lumon,miasma,retro-82}-theme, TahaYVR.matteblack,
jovejonovski.ocean-green, monokai.theme-monokai-pro-vscode,
Bjarne.white-theme.
- 3 don't exist on the marketplace and are unpublished custom
Nomarchy themes: Bjarne.{ethereal,hackerman,vantablack}-nomarchy.
Logged as a new Later row.
For the 10, fetched version + sha256 via:
URL='https://${publisher}.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publisher/${publisher}/extension/${name}/${version}/assetbyname/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage'
nix store prefetch-file --hash-type sha256 "$URL"
Added a marketplaceExtensions list to features/apps/vscode.nix that
wraps each in pkgs.vscode-utils.extensionFromVscodeMarketplace and
concatenates with the existing nixpkgs-packaged list — so 10 more
palettes (including the default) now get correct VSCode theming on
first launch. Smoke-built sainnhe.everforest end-to-end. Module
comment documents the version-bump procedure.
docs/OPTIONS.md updated: the nomarchy.vscode.devExtensions entry
drops the "still break" caveat for everything except the three
unpublished Bjarne palettes.
`nix flake check --no-build` clean.
features/apps/chromium/default.nix was deploying a 204-byte static
Default/Preferences via Home Manager symlink into Chromium's mutable
profile directory. The deployment is structurally broken — Chromium
expects to write that file at runtime, so either the symlink is
silently replaced on first save (losing the static defaults) or the
write fails silently.
The contents are also redundant + incorrect:
- `extensions.theme.{use_system,use_custom} = false` — already
superseded by the managed-policy approach (BrowserThemeColor
overrides any user-installed theme extension regardless).
- `browser.theme.{color_scheme,user_color} = 2` — hardcoded "dark"
via Chromium's color_scheme enum, conflicting with the dynamic
BrowserColorScheme = isLightTheme ? "light" : "dark" set by
core/system/browser.nix. A user on flexoki-light / summer-day /
catppuccin-latte / rose-pine / white would have had a static-vs-
policy mismatch every time.
Removed the entire features/apps/chromium/ directory (default.nix +
config/Default/Preferences) and dropped the import from
features/default.nix. Chromium theming continues to flow through the
system-level managed policy, which is the canonical chromium-on-NixOS
path.
`nix flake check --no-build` clean.
show_setup_config_menu was an Omarchy holdover where users edited
mutable config files at runtime. In Nomarchy:
- hyprland.conf, hypridle.conf, hyprsunset.conf, walker/config.toml,
waybar/config.jsonc are all Home-Manager-generated from declarative
settings — a `home-manager switch` clobbers any edit.
- hyprlock.conf and swayosd/config.toml point at paths the modules
don't deploy at all; open_in_editor created empty files.
- ~/.XCompose is a HM symlink into /nix/store — read-only.
Dropped the entire submenu function and the " Config" item from
show_setup_menu (and the matching *Config*) case branch). Persistent
settings go through the relevant nomarchy.* option in
/etc/nixos/home.nix (or system.nix); when the nomarchy.overrides.*
loader ships, a successor menu can route through
~/.config/nomarchy/overrides/.
Side effect (caught by the SCRIPTS.md regen): nomarchy-restart-xcompose
is now `unused?` — its only caller was the XCompose case I just
removed. Left for a future Pillar 3 cleanup rather than widening
this PR.
`bash -n` clean.
features/desktop/waybar/default.nix previously set
`programs.waybar.{enable,systemd.enable} = lib.mkDefault true`
unconditionally. The toggle script wrote .waybar to state.json and
pkill/exec'd waybar for instant feedback, but the next rebuild
re-enabled it because the Nix module didn't read the toggle. Result:
the bar came back on every rebuild/reboot regardless of the persisted
state — inconsistent with toggles.idle (gates services.hypridle.enable)
and now toggles.nightlight (gates services.hyprsunset.enable).
programs.waybar.{enable,systemd.enable} now follow
config.nomarchy.toggles.waybar. nomarchy-toggle-waybar flips the
running systemd user unit (`systemctl --user start/stop waybar.service`)
for instant feedback and writes .waybar back to state.json so the next
rebuild realigns. Disabled toggle now means no waybar across rebuilds
+ reboots, matching the option's documented meaning ("Whether the top
bar is enabled").
`nix flake check --no-build` + `bash -n` clean.
features/desktop/nightlight.nix previously set
`services.hyprsunset.enable = lib.mkDefault true` unconditionally and
baked the temperature (4000K when toggles.nightlight, 6500K otherwise)
into extraArgs at Nix-eval time. The toggle script bypassed systemd:
pkill on disable, `hyprctl dispatch exec hyprsunset --temperature 4000`
on enable — racing the systemd-managed instance and hardcoding 4000K
regardless of nomarchy.nightlightTemperature. The "Always enabled, we
control via IPC and state" comment was misleading: no IPC, the
temperature was rebuild-time, and the script forked a parallel
process.
Path (b) from the Later row:
- services.hyprsunset.enable now follows config.nomarchy.toggles.
nightlight — symmetric with services.hypridle.enable ← toggles.idle.
Disabled toggle = no process running.
- extraArgs always reads from config.nomarchy.nightlightTemperature.
Drops the 6500K neutralising fork; when off the unit just doesn't
start.
- nomarchy-toggle-nightlight flips the running systemd user unit via
`systemctl --user start/stop hyprsunset.service` for instant
feedback, reads nightlightTemperature from state.json for the
notify-send line, and writes .nightlight back to state.json so the
next rebuild realigns services.hyprsunset.enable.
`nix flake check --no-build` + `bash -n` clean.
New nomarchy-installed-summary script renders a markdown table via
gum format with the install shape the user should verify before they
start customising:
- theme / font / panel position (~/.config/nomarchy/state.json)
- timezone / DNS / hybrid GPU (/etc/nixos/state.json)
- form factor (BAT* sysfs presence)
- software profiles (presence of marker packages)
- FDE (any crypt entry in lsblk)
- drives (lsblk filtered to disk/part/crypt)
nomarchy-welcome calls it as Step 0 — before the theme/font/panel
pickers — and gates progression on a gum input prompt so the user has
to acknowledge before customisation rewrites anything. The script is
also callable standalone from any terminal: `nomarchy-installed-summary`.
Self-contained — no installer-side changes. Software profiles are
detected heuristically (the installer bakes the user's pick into the
generated home.nix as concrete home.packages rather than persisting a
profile list), which is good enough for verification but won't catch
manually-removed profile packages. gum is in the existing categoryDeps
so no new tools are needed; falls back to plain markdown when gum
isn't on PATH (recovery contexts).
Closes the "Installer: What's installed? summary on first boot"
Now-column item from Pillar 4.
nomarchy-build-iso and nomarchy-build-live-iso both ran under set -e
but then wrapped nix build in an if [ \$? -eq 0 ] block with an else
that printed "Error: ISO build failed." and exit 1. set -e aborts the
script the instant nix build returns non-zero, so the else branch was
never reached — the user saw nix build's own error output and the
script exited.
Removed the dead conditional. Behaviour is identical.
Three issues in features/scripts/utils/nomarchy-menu:
(1) "Learn → Nomarchy" called nomarchy-launch-webapp on
https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-nomarchy-manual — an upstream Omarchy
URL, the same one fixed in nomarchy-manual on 2026-05-18. Now calls
nomarchy-manual, which opens the local ~/.local/share/nomarchy/
README.md (or notifies if the source tree isn't synced).
(2) "Style → Hyprland" tried to open ~/.config/hypr/looknfeel.conf,
which is not the path looknfeel.conf is deployed to. The actual file
lives at ~/.config/nomarchy/default/hypr/looknfeel.conf (sourced by
nomarchy.conf via the chain). Updated the path.
(3) The setup-config case statement had an *Overrides* branch but no
matching menu option, so it was unreachable. The overrides loader
(nomarchy.overrides.*) is still in the Next column of the roadmap;
when it ships, both the option AND the case will get added together.
programs.vscode.profiles.default.userSettings.workbench.colorTheme is
set unconditionally to the active palette's theme name (read from
themes/palettes/<theme>/apps/vscode.json), but the matching theme
extensions were bundled with devExtensions — which defaults to false.
So out of the box, VSCode silently fell back to the built-in dark
theme on every palette.
Split themeExtensions out as always-installed and devExtensions as
opt-in via nomarchy.vscode.devExtensions. themeExtensions covers the 6
palettes whose VSCode theme is packaged in nixpkgs (catppuccin,
catppuccin-latte, nord, tokyo-night, rose-pine, gruvbox).
The other 15 palettes (including the default summer-night, which uses
sainnhe.everforest) still break because their theme extensions are on
the VSCode marketplace but not yet in nixpkgs — handling that needs
pkgs.vscode-utils.extensionFromVscodeMarketplace plus per-palette
publisher/name/version/sha256 metadata. Logged separately.
themes/engine/loader.nix:72 deploys the active palette's btop theme to
~/.config/btop/themes/nomarchy.theme, but btop.conf had
color_theme = "current" — btop looked for themes/current.theme, didn't
find it, and silently fell back to the built-in Default theme. So every
palette rendered btop in the same default colors regardless of the
selected Nomarchy theme.
Renamed the config reference to match the deployed file name.
lazygit and tmux both inherit terminal ANSI colors (verified: the tmux
status bar config uses blue/brightblack/etc., not hex), so the kitty +
ghostty + alacritty theming changes from 8d3ce2d cover them
transitively — no module fix needed.
nomarchy-menu:330 and nomarchy-launch-screensaver:16 referenced
\$NNOMARCHY_TOGGLE_SUSPEND and \$NNOMARCHY_TOGGLE_SCREENSAVER with a
double-N. The real env vars injected by features/scripts/default.nix:69-73
are single-N. Both reads always resolved to the empty string, so:
- nomarchy.toggles.suspend = false; still showed "Suspend" in the
system menu (the condition is "!= false", so empty != false → true).
- nomarchy.toggles.screensaver = false; still launched the screensaver
on hypridle's 150s timeout (the gate "== false" never hit on empty,
so the early-exit was skipped).
Both toggles documented in docs/OPTIONS.md were vacuous in practice.
themes/{catppuccin,lumon,nord,retro-82}/style.css fully replaced the
default style.css (no @import) but defined only 2–14 lines — just
@define-color declarations and, for nord, a minimal window#waybar block.
The default style ships ~110 lines covering #workspaces, #tray, #cpu,
#custom-nomarchy's Nomarchy-font override, margins/padding, the indicator
.active states, etc. So picking any of those four palettes produced a
waybar with zero structural styling.
The default style at features/desktop/waybar/config/style.css already
@imports ../nomarchy/current/theme/waybar.css — which themes/engine/
files.nix:30-34 generates with @background/@foreground/@accent from the
active palette. So removing the broken overrides restores per-palette
colors via the default-style path. summer-day and summer-night are kept
because their 100+-line style.css files are intentional, self-contained
visual redesigns (the case the themes/engine/loader.nix:76-79 comment
explicitly carves out for "themes that need significantly different
styling").
Six unreferenced files surfaced under features/desktop/hyprland/config/
during the Pillar 8 sweep:
- `looknfeel.conf` and `autostart.conf` were deployed to ~/.config/hypr/
but never sourced by nomarchy.conf. The substantive versions live in
core/home/config/nomarchy/default/hypr/ and are sourced from there.
Removed the deployment lines in features/desktop/hyprland/default.nix
alongside the file deletes.
- `hyprlock.conf`, `hyprsunset.conf`, `xdph.conf` weren't deployed at
all and weren't referenced anywhere. Pure leftovers.
The entire `features/desktop/hyprland-preview-share-picker/` directory
was also orphan: no `default.nix`, no Nix module imports the
`config.yaml`. Only mention was inside the (now-deleted) `xdph.conf`.
Deleted the directory.
No behavioral change — these files weren't being used. Just removes
dead surface that confuses contributors looking for the "real" config
location.
Two unreferenced asset files removed; two larger concerns deferred to
roadmap rows because they need more thought than a focused audit
allows.
Deleted:
- `features/apps/alacritty/config/alacritty.toml` — the alacritty
module uses `programs.alacritty.settings` (Nix attrset) exclusively;
nothing references the on-disk file. The neighbouring (already-empty)
`themes/` directory goes with it.
- `themes/templates/mako.ini.tpl` — no script reads it.
Deferred to ROADMAP "Later":
- `features/apps/chromium/Default/Preferences` is deployed as a Home
Manager symlink into chromium's mutable profile directory. Either
silently replaced on first save or silently failing to write —
either way the static defaults don't survive. The actual chromium
theming work happens via managed policies in
core/system/browser.nix. Needs chromium-internals knowledge to
decide whether to remove or rework, so flagged rather than
unilaterally deleted.
- `themes/templates/*.tpl` (the remaining 10 templates) are also
apparently orphan — deployed via xdg.dataFile but unconsumed by any
script. Likely vestigial from a pre-stylix templating system.
Logged as a separate row to decide deletion vs documentation as
user-reference assets.
Found during Pillar 8 audit of features/apps.
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.
`features/default.nix` had a let-block that read
`~/.config/home-manager/user-packages.json` at eval time via
`builtins.pathExists` + `builtins.readFile`, parsed it as JSON, and
filtered to valid pkgs — then never appended the result to
`home.packages` or anywhere else. The `userPackages` variable was
completely orphan.
Two problems with the dead code: (1) it was an undocumented hidden
mechanism (no docs mentioned `user-packages.json`), (2) it made flake
evaluation impurely depend on a user's home directory for no payoff —
flake outputs would silently differ between machines depending on the
presence of that file, even though nothing in the build used it.
Removed the let-block entirely. The nomarchyLib import stays.
Found during Pillar 8 audit of features/apps.
`nomarchy-welcome` wrote a "starter" `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix`
for users without one. Two problems:
1. Wrong path. The installer-generated canonical home.nix lives at
`/etc/nixos/home.nix` and is imported via the flake (both
home-manager.users and the standalone homeConfigurations). Nothing
in the installer flow ever reads `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix`
— it's a dead file.
2. Broken content. The starter is missing `home.username`,
`home.homeDirectory`, `home.stateVersion`, and doesn't import
`nomarchy.nixosModules.home`. Even on a hand-migration path it
wouldn't evaluate as a standalone HM config.
So in the installer flow it's dead, and in the migration flow it's
broken. Removed Step 4 entirely. The git-init step (was Step 5) is
now Step 4. Hand-migrated users follow `docs/MIGRATION.md`, which has
the correct home.nix template.
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 '$NOMARCHY_PATH' exports and redundant 'bashrc' template.
- Export theme templates via 'xdg.dataFile' for script accessibility.
The script hardcoded `xdg-open https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-nomarchy-manual`
— an upstream Omarchy page. Users hitting "Help → Manual" in nomarchy-menu
were sent to an unrelated site, and there's no nomarchy.org canonical
docs URL to point at instead.
Now opens `$HOME/.local/share/nomarchy/README.md`, which lives on every
installed system (per SKILL.md's "Out of Scope" note about
`~/.local/share/nomarchy/`) and links every doc in `docs/`. Falls back
to a notify-send "run nomarchy-update?" message if the source tree
isn't synced.

Pillar 3 Phase B, batch 4 (final). Triages the last 13 `unused?` rows:
five deletes and eight SKILL.md surfacings.
Deleted (no callers anywhere, work duplicated inline or marginal value):
- `nomarchy-restart-hyprctl` and `nomarchy-restart-mako`: stale comments
claimed "used by theme switching" but no Nomarchy script calls them.
Theme-set and refresh paths call `hyprctl reload` / `makoctl reload`
directly (see nomarchy-refresh-hyprland).
- `nomarchy-restart-tmux`: 3-line pgrep+source-file wrapper. Users can
`tmux source-file ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf` themselves.
- `nomarchy-battery-present`: the battery monitor reads
`/sys/class/power_supply/BAT*` inline; the helper never got wired in.
- `nomarchy-sudo-keepalive`: intended to be `source`d from longer-running
scripts (nomarchy-update, etc.) but nothing sources it. Resurrect from
git history if a future caller actually needs it.
Surfaced in SKILL.md (now tagged `kept` by the audit):
- Themes: `nomarchy-theme-{remove,refresh,bg-install}`
- System: `nomarchy-sudo-{passwordless-toggle,reset}`,
`nomarchy-restart-trackpad` (intel_quicki2c THC reload — a real laptop
bug fix worth documenting)
- New Virtualization section: `nomarchy-windows-vm {install,launch,stop,status}`
- Enriched Troubleshooting's generic `nomarchy-refresh-<app>` example with
literal `nomarchy-refresh-fastfetch` so the audit catches it.
Verified `nix flake check --no-build` still passes and zero callers
reference the deleted scripts.
**Phase B is now complete.** Final audit state: 164 → 159 scripts, all
tagged `kept`, `unused?` = 0, missing references = 0. The audit table is
now a clean reference of what Nomarchy ships, not a triage backlog.

Pillar 3 Phase B, batch 3 — Batch A of the unused? clusters.
Deleted two dead webapp URI handlers:
- `nomarchy-webapp-handler-hey`
- `nomarchy-webapp-handler-zoom`
Neither was registered as a MimeType handler anywhere — a grep across
`*.desktop` files in `core/`, `features/`, `themes/`, `installer/`, and
`hosts/` returned zero matches. Without a `.desktop` registration the
system never routes `mailto:`/`zoom:`/`zoomus:` URIs to them, so the
handlers were unreachable code.
Kept the six remaining install/remove pairs (they're real CLI tools, just
unwired into any menu) and surfaced them in `SKILL.md` "Common Tasks" so
AI assistants can discover them on user request and the audit tags them
`kept`:
- Custom App Launchers: webapp-{install,remove,remove-all},
tui-{install,remove,remove-all}
- Voice dictation: voxtype-{install,remove,status}
Menu-wiring these (e.g. a "Setup → Apps" submenu in nomarchy-menu) is a
separate Pillar 6 onboarding job, not scoped here.
Regenerated `docs/SCRIPTS.md` — script count 166 → 164, `unused?` 21 → 13.

Pillar 3 Phase B, batch 2. Five `unused?` scripts that either duplicate
NixOS-native facilities or reference infrastructure Nomarchy doesn't
ship. All five had no callers anywhere in the tree.
- `nomarchy-rollback`: ran `nixos-rebuild rollback` after listing
`snapper` snapshots. NixOS already exposes the previous generation in
the boot menu and `nixos-rebuild --rollback`; Nomarchy uses
impermanence, not snapper.
- `nomarchy-snapshot`: wrapped `snapper create/restore`. Same reason —
snapper isn't part of Nomarchy. The script's "nomarchy-update can use
this" comment never came true; nomarchy-update has no reference to it.
- `nomarchy-migrate-state`: one-time migration from old
`~/.config/home-manager/state.json` and `/etc/nixos/state.json` to the
unified `~/.config/nomarchy/state.json`. The installer now seeds the
unified file directly; no current install needs the migration.
- `nomarchy-config-direct-boot`: added an EFI boot entry for a Nomarchy
UKI. We don't build a UKI (no references anywhere in `core/` or
`hosts/`), so the script targeted nonexistent infrastructure.
- `nomarchy-npx-install`: generated npx wrappers in `~/.local/bin/`. An
Arch idiom — on NixOS the path is `nix-shell -p nodejs` or a
declarative `home.packages` entry.
Kept `nomarchy-build-iso` and `nomarchy-build-live-iso` (the user-flagged
useful build wrappers) and surfaced them in README §2 in place of the
raw `nix build` command, which both removes the audit's `unused?` flag
on them and shortens the docs.
Regenerated docs/SCRIPTS.md (171 → 166 scripts; 28 `unused?` → 21).

The installer generates `nixosConfigurations.<hostname>` (see
installer/install.sh: `nixosConfigurations.$HOSTNAME`), but the system
update script was rebuilding `.#default` and using `--impure`. The
`#default` literal worked only on dev hosts that happened to be named
"default" and silently broke every toggle script on real installs.
Now resolves `$(hostname)` at runtime and aborts with a clear error if
empty. Dropped `--impure` — the flake doesn't need it.
