Airplane: runtime Wi-Fi+Bluetooth kill-switch with prior-state restore,
System menu + SUPER+CTRL+R, Waybar plane glyph (self-hides, whole-swap
parity). Fastfetch: chafa sextants at 24×12 (was block 20×10) for a
finer monogram; V2 kitty screenshots under boreal and summer-night.
The bar '*' matches every node directly — including menu labels — so an
inherited font from 'menu' never applies. 'menu, menu *' out-specifies
it. (Real-menu screenshot showed arrows/checks/icons fixed by 8eb672b
but labels still in the bar's mono face.)

The e8658fe cure (USER-priority gtk.css counter-rules) verified in a
plain GTK app but not in the real Waybar-hosted nm-applet menu: Waybar
adds its provider at GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER as well
(src/client.cpp), and in practice its rules win the tie against
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css on GTK 3.24 — reproduced by injecting the
bar stylesheet above USER priority: arrow, checkmark and separator all
vanish, matching the live menu exactly.
The only placement that wins at ANY provider priority is inside the
same stylesheet: after each '*' reset, restore the CSS-sized menu
nodes (menuitem arrow 16px, check/radio 14px, separator 1px line) and
give menus a text face instead of the bar's glyph font. Applied to
boreal + executive-slate waybar.css and waybar.nix generatedStyle;
stylix.nix comment corrected (its rules now cover ordinary GTK apps
only).
Ground truth checked over D-Bus first: nm-applet exports per-network
Wi-Fi icons as dbusmenu icon-data, and with gtk-menu-images=1 the
connected network's icon already renders in the live menu — the
remaining loss was arrows/checks/separators, all CSS-box nodes.

Two corrections to ac7e6bd, which broke the bar it meant to spare:
1. Scoping the waybar '*' reset to 'window#waybar *' gave every reset
property id-level specificity, so it started BEATING the later
class rules (Boreal's pill border-radius/borders, workspace pills)
that plain '*' correctly lost to — visibly wrecking the bar.
Reverted all three stylesheets to the plain '*' block (bar restored
byte-identical to pre-ac7e6bd) and instead restored the arrow where
priority genuinely outranks waybar's stylesheet: stylix's gtk.css
loads at USER priority (800) vs waybar's APPLICATION (600), so a
'menu menuitem arrow { min-width/height: 16px }' there survives the
reset in Waybar-hosted menus — the exact mechanism the neighbouring
check/radio rule already uses for the same collapse. NB comments at
each '*' block warn against re-scoping.
2. The 'missing icons' were never just arrows: GTK3 ships
gtk-menu-images=false since 3.10, so image menu items (nm-applet's
Wi-Fi list, udiskie) render iconless everywhere. Set
gtk.gtk3.extraConfig.gtk-menu-images = 1 (merges into the
settings.ini Stylix already writes).

BACKLOG #90 root-caused: the arrows were never missing from the icon
theme — Papirus-Dark resolves pan-end-symbolic through its breeze-dark
inheritance (breeze ships inside the nixpkgs papirus output). The real
culprit: Waybar loads its stylesheet screen-wide at application
priority, so the tray menus it hosts for SNI apps (nm-applet & co)
inherit the bar's '* { min-height: 0; }', which out-prioritizes
adw-gtk3's 16px min-height on the menuitem arrow node and collapses
the submenu arrow to zero height. Property bisect confirmed
min-height:0 alone reproduces; the font/border resets don't.
- boreal + executive-slate waybar.css, waybar.nix generatedStyle:
'*' block scoped to 'window#waybar, window#waybar *'; tooltip rules
restate the font (tooltips are separate toplevels outside the scope).
- stylix.nix: drop the go-next-symbolic remap — a workaround for the
misdiagnosis; native pan-end-symbolic resolves fine.
- BACKLOG #90 deleted; JOURNAL entry records the method (live GTK3
repro + grim screenshots + CSS property bisect, V3 on TuringMachine).
V3 pending: human click on the real nm-applet tray icon post-switch.

Item 28 color-only accessibility sweep. Swept every Waybar status
indicator for shape/glyph redundancy: all already carry non-color
distinction (updates shows a count + self-hides; vpn/doctor/nightlight/
recording self-gate; battery/idle/muted are glyph-distinct) except the
swaync notification module — its `inhibited-*` states reused the normal
bells (/), so an app-inhibited (suppressed) state was distinguished
from a normal one by color alone.
Route every suppressed state (DND + inhibited) to the bell-off glyph
+ @muted, so "notifications are off right now" reads by SHAPE. Applied
to the generated bar and all four whole-swaps (summer-day/night use
their own bell-off glyph; executive-slate/boreal use ) — parity rule.
Reuses the glyph DND already ships, so no new codepoint / tofu risk.
Verified: V0 (flake check --no-build; 4 jsoncs valid JSON) + V1 (built
homeConfigurations.nomarchy.activationPackage — the built config has
inhibited-* = U+F009B and style.css routes .inhibited-* → @muted).
V3 pending: live inhibited-state render with an app holding an inhibitor
(HARDWARE-QUEUE). MEMORY gains the "status is never color-only" invariant.

- Pin `font-family: Nomarchy` on #custom-nomarchy (boreal, executive-slate)
so the branded mark at U+F000 wins over the Nerd Font's glass glyph at
the same codepoint (summer bars already pinned it).
- Enlarge the icons on icon+text modules via a Pango span, with a gap so
the glyph no longer crowds the value. The volume module gets a wider
gap: its level glyph is unusually wide and overlapped the % otherwise.
- Bump icon-only status modules (caffeine, speedometer, …) to match, so
they don't read smaller than their neighbours. The generated bar sizes
everything relative to fonts.size (+2/+3pt) so it scales per theme.

The executive-slate preset shipped a waybar.css that referenced @base/@accent
with no @define-color block, and no matching waybar.jsonc — so the raw-read
override ran a largely unstyled bar (the item-28 partial-whole-swap defect).
The palette was also flat (base->surface only 1.13x) with a dim accent
(#4D78CC, 3.91 on base).
- Palette: widen surface stepping (base->surface 1.13x -> 1.29x so panels/
selection/hover separate), brighten the accent (#4D78CC -> #5A8AE6, 3.91 ->
5.04 on base, now AA text), lift subtext/good/warn/bad a tier, realign ansi,
soften bright-white (#FFFFFF -> #F0F3F9). text stays 12.5 AAA. Contrast
checker: all 23 themes x 7 pairings pass.
- Waybar: complete the bespoke bar as a real whole-swap. New waybar.jsonc with
the full 17-module set (parity with summer-day/night); waybar.css rewritten
to lead with its own @define-color block and cover every module + state class
the helper scripts emit (.recording/.activated/.on/.available/.dnd-*/battery).
Identity: solid, edge-to-edge, sharp corners, accent underline on the active
workspace.
- Rofi: drop the broken var() idiom for the house *{}/@name convention (split
border syntax, message/textbox/scrollbar elements for the theme-grid picker).
- CONVENTIONS: Waybar parity rule now names executive-slate as a third
whole-swap target (was stale at summer-only).
V1: nix flake check --no-build green; strict JSON parse of both files; real
rofi parsed the .rasi cleanly; with executive-slate set active, the module
eval resolves waybar.settings -> the jsonc, waybar.style -> the css, rofi.theme
-> the override rasi, and theme.nix accepts the palette. NOT yet done: on-screen
render of the bar/rofi/desktop (V2/V3) and preview.png (deferred to on-hardware
capture, per the chosen path).

Leveraged Nano Banana to generate a 4k functional minimalist wallpaper. Added the new preset with a solid, high-legibility waybar and flat rofi launcher.
