The nomarchy-live ISO imported ./core and hosts/nomarchy-live.nix but not
core/system/vm-guest.nix, which is the only place spice-vdagentd/qemuGuest
were enabled. Without those agents a VM's virtio-gpu only advertises its
1024x768 fallback mode, so Hyprland's `monitor = , highres, auto` rule picks
that as the highest mode and the live session boots tiny.

pam_unix rejects empty passwords by default, so if hypridle locked the
live session there was nothing the user could type to unlock it. Set
allowNullPassword on the hyprlock PAM service so a bare Enter dismisses
the locker, matching the empty live account passwords. Scoped to the
live host so installed systems still reject empty unlocks.

Several installer reliability fixes that were left uncommitted:
- Impermanence + multi-disk LUKS: disko-config.nix names the main LUKS
mapping `crypted` for single-disk and `crypted_main` once extraDrives is
non-empty. The impermanence rollback hook used to hardcode `crypted`,
which made every multi-disk install fail to mount root in initrd. Added
a `nomarchy.system.impermanence.mainLuksName` option and wired the
installer to write the correct value into the generated system.nix
based on the drive count.
- Password no longer cleartext in /etc/nixos: installer now hashes the
user password with `mkpasswd -m sha-512` and emits
`initialHashedPassword` instead of `initialPassword`. Added mkpasswd to
the live ISO. Cleartext is unset immediately after hashing.
USER_PASSWORD_HASH is deliberately not persisted in --resume state —
configure_user re-prompts on resume.
- Revision pinning that actually works on the live ISO: `inputs.self`
strips .git in the Nix store copy, so `git rev-parse HEAD` would silently
return empty on a real install and the generated flake would track main.
Live ISO now writes `/etc/nomarchy-rev` from `inputs.self.rev` at build
time; install.sh reads it first, falls back to git, and aborts with a
loud confirmation prompt if both are empty (instead of silently
installing an unpinned system).
- Generated `/mnt/etc/nixos/state.json`: toggle scripts (nomarchy-tz-select,
nomarchy-setup-{fido2,fingerprint}, nomarchy-toggle-hybrid-gpu,
nomarchy-wifi-powersave) `jq` this file in place and fail hard if it
doesn't exist. Fresh installs now ship a schema-conformant file matching
lib/state-schema.nix.
- Unmount /mnt before exiting `finish()` regardless of reboot choice. Clean
unmount avoids dirty BTRFS on reboot; on "no", leaving /mnt mounted
blocked a second installer run on the same live ISO.
- Removed obsolete `installer/disko-btrfs-luks.nix` (superseded by
`disko-config.nix` per commit 3aadc36) and dropped its dangling
`docs/STRUCTURE.md` reference.

The disk phase was the dominant source of incomplete installs. Six
concrete failure modes addressed in one pass:
1. Live-ISO USB excluded from the disk picker. select_disk previously
filtered loop|ram|zram|sr but not the device the installer booted
from; picking it would format the boot media mid-install. New
detect_live_iso_devices walks /, /iso, /run/initramfs/live,
/nix/.ro-store, /nix/store and resolves each backing device to its
parent disk via lsblk -no PKNAME. Override with
NOMARCHY_INSTALL_ALLOW_ISO_TARGET=1 for the developer case.
2. 10 GiB minimum-capacity preflight. Disko fails late and obscurely
on undersized media; surface it while the picker is still open.
3. prewipe_target_drive rewritten:
- Enumerates every active dm-crypt mapping via dmsetup ls and
closes those whose backing device is on the target drive. The
old version only knew about the hardcoded names "crypted" /
"crypted_main" so an aborted multi-disk run or a non-Nomarchy
install would leave a holder open and silently break the wipe.
- Drops `|| true` from wipefs / sgdisk / dd. After the LUKS and
swap teardown above, a real failure means something is still
holding the device — surface that instead of papering over it.
- udevadm settle bounded to 30s so a flapping USB can't hang.
- Post-wipe sanity check: refuse to hand the disk to disko if
anything is still mounted off it.
4. run_disko_with_retry wraps the disko call. On failure, shows the
last 30 lines of output via gum style and offers Retry /
View full log / Abort. set -e is suspended for the disko call so
the exit code can be inspected. The previous bare `disko --mode
disko` aborted the whole installer with output scrolled past.
5. Sed-templated disko-golden.nix + disko-btrfs-multi.nix pair
replaced by a single disko-config.nix Nix function of
{ mainDrive, extraDrives ? [] } called via --argstr / --arg.
Templating Nix via shell-escaped string substitution caused at
least one production bug (3aadc36 fixed embedded-newline
escaping); function arguments are the right shape and eliminate
the entire class of escaping concerns. Single-disk path is
`extraDrives = []`; multi-disk gets BTRFS `-d single -m raid1`
plus the additional /dev/mapper/* devices. Hosts that shipped
/etc/disko-golden.nix now ship /etc/disko-config.nix.
6. EXIT trap added so the tmpfs LUKS key file (/dev/shm/nomarchy-
luks.key) is removed even if the script aborts between key-write
and the explicit unset. Replaced redundant `shred -u` on tmpfs
with `rm -f` (already in RAM).
Verification: bash -n on install.sh, nix-instantiate parse + strict
eval on disko-config.nix in both single and multi shapes, full
nix flake check --no-build evaluating all three NixOS configurations
(default, nomarchy-installer, nomarchy-live) plus the installerVm.

- Rename installerIso and installerIsoGraphical to nomarchy-installer and nomarchy-live.
- Update host configurations with proper Nomarchy branding and volume IDs.
- Fix nomarchy-test-live-iso QEMU launch by using -drive if=pflash for UEFI firmware.
- Add nomarchy-build-live-iso utility script.
- Scrub remaining Omarchy references in Plymouth, installer messages, and docs.
- Regenerate docs/SCRIPTS.md to reflect new and renamed utilities.
- 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.

- boot.initrd.kernelModules force-loaded amdgpu+radeon+nouveau+i915 in the
live ISO, panicking on hosts where more than one driver matched the GPU.
Move them to availableKernelModules so udev only loads what fits.
- Override services.getty.helpLine with a Nomarchy welcome that points at
`sudo /etc/install.sh` (+ --dry-run / --resume variants). Replaces the
upstream "NixOS" message.
- Ship installer/hardware-db.sh as /etc/hardware-db.sh so the installer's
auto-detection works when invoked from the live ISO.
- Add live-ISO-only Hyprland exec-once: notify-send + an alacritty
"Nomarchy Installer" terminal that prints the install commands. The
graphical autologin user now sees a pointer instead of guessing how to
start the install.

- 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.
