321ccf7 claimed the 4s step-4 run was "docked, lid OPEN" and that it retired
the old "docked lid-open is untested" caveat. Both wrong, per Bernardo: the
lid was SHUT throughout. eDP-1 was lit inside a closed clamshell because a
reload had re-enabled it, and "lid open" was inferred from an output being
enabled — which is not evidence of a lid position. /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/
state is, and it was never checked; it reads `closed` with eDP-1 enabled and
dpms_on=true right now. Docked-lid-open stays untested (moot — the gate is
gone — but untested). The step-4 result itself stands: input woke it in 4s
with hypridle stopped, with two outputs enabled rather than one.
That correction exposes a real bug, filed as #148: `hyprctl reload` re-enables
every output (the #142 hammer the undock rescue relies on), but
nomarchy-display-watch only reacts to monitoradded/monitorremoved — a reload
emits neither, so nothing re-asserts the dock profile. Every HM activation
reloads Hyprland, so every rebuild while docked-clamshell lights the panel and
leaves it lit. Bernardo hit it twice in ten minutes today: once from
nomarchy-home, once from an agent's reload that silently undid the fix he had
just made by hand in the Display menu.

a2151f4 applied on the dev box (nomarchy-pull + nomarchy-home). Step 1: both
misc options read int: 1 after `hyprctl reload` — which discards runtime
keywords — so our Nix supplies them, not the keyword used to prove the fix
originally; nomarchy-dpms-off is gone from the closure and the live
hypridle.conf reads `on-timeout=hyprctl dispatch dpms off`.
Step 4, the one that matters: hypridle stopped on purpose (the brick
condition), `dpms off` -> keypress woke it in 4s from config alone. That run
happened to be docked with the lid OPEN (DP-2,eDP-1), which also retires the
old "docked lid-open is untested, not exempted" caveat. With the clamshell
6s run the same day, input-wake is now proven in all three geometries:
undocked lid-open, clamshell-docked, docked lid-open.
Steps 2+3 stay open deliberately: nothing yet has watched a genuine 10-minute
hypridle timeout fire — only forced blanks — so the real idle path is still
unobserved. Recorded that step 1 used reload, not a literal relogin.

The idle brick was never DPMS. Hyprland ships misc:key_press_enables_dpms
and misc:mouse_move_enables_dpms OFF, so hypridle's on-resume was the ONLY
caller of `dpms on` in the session — an idle daemon with the display held
hostage behind it. hypridle then deadlocks on an unfixed upstream bug
(hyprwm/hypridle#171, "Disconnected from pollfd id 1", open since 2025-09,
absent from 0.1.7 and main) and hangs WITHOUT exiting, so Restart=always
never fires and systemd still reports it active (running). Blank + deadlock
= a black seat no keypress can escape. That was the brick: two mundane bugs,
not one exotic DRM state. 19 disconnects in 11 days on the dev box, incl.
the incident day; the compositor is healthy through all of them.
Both options on, so the wake lives in the compositor where no daemon can
lose it — a dead hypridle now costs auto-lock, not the machine. The #127
clamshell DPMS-off skip (060bf52) is therefore reverted: idle blanks again
in every dock/lid state, and the 27" panels stop being held lit all night
under a static lock screen. #135 (an option to opt back in) is retired
unbuilt — there is nothing left to opt into.
TEST B's first run was invalid and nearly bought the wrong answer: it ran
`hyprctl dispatch dpms off` by hand, which no wake path watches, so "input
did not wake it" was guaranteed on any hardware. The undocked control
returning the SAME result — where the theory demanded a difference — is what
exposed it. Driven through hypridle instead, input wakes it in all three
configurations, including clamshell-docked on the sole live output.
Filed from the diagnosis: #146 (hypridle dies silently, systemd calls it
healthy — the surviving bug) and #147 (a re-login leaves session units dead;
graphical-session.target never re-enters, which is why Waybar already runs
from exec-once).
V3 on the incident hardware (AMD dev box, clamshell): hypridle deliberately
stopped, `dpms off` -> keypress woke it in 6s; the identical test before the
options stayed black the full 45s. V1: nix flake check, checks.option-docs,
checks.clamshell-logind, checks.docking-ux, checks.display-profiles; read the
emitted hyprland.conf/hypridle.conf rather than the source.
V3 pending: the fix is proven via runtime `hyprctl keyword`, not yet from our
own Nix — HARDWARE-QUEUE re-checks it after nomarchy-home + relogin.

#136 CLOSED: he confirms the incident was clamshell (laptop closed), so the
gate already matched the evidence and only the words overclaimed. Swept:
idle.nix's comment + its journal line (`dpms-off skipped: docked` →
`clamshell (internal $m present but off)`), the ROADMAP entry, and #127's
own text. Docked-with-lid-open still blanks and is now explicitly untested
rather than implicitly covered.
#127 gains the exact protocol he asked for — two tests, separated by risk:
A) the mitigation holds (safe, unattended, journal line to grep); B) the
decisive one, whether DPMS-off was ever the trigger, run by hand because the
shipped mitigation would otherwise skip it. B self-recovers after 45s
(dpms on + hyprctl reload — #142's hammer re-lights eDP) because this box
has no sshd. All three outcomes are written down with what each implies,
including "input wakes it" → revert the mitigation and #135 never exists.
#130 decided: fix the contrast, we hold ourselves higher than GNOME —
matching upstream is no defence at 2.7:1, under even the large-text floor.
Recorded with the two candidate shapes and a preference for darkening our
label over the user's accent, plus the note that check-theme-contrast.py
covers palette pairings only, so it needs its own assertion or it rots
exactly like #98.
#143 decided: wait for rofi#2317, do not carry a patch — a patched rofi
means every machine compiles rofi from source, on every lock bump, to fix a
highlight. Now a watch, not work.
#120 deferred to PROPOSED intact: the measurements stand, and the no-binary-
cache gotcha probably makes cachix the real first step anyway.

The logo was off-centre on the external when booting/shutting down docked.
Both earlier diagnoses in this repo were WRONG, and that is the part worth
keeping: Window.GetWidth() returns max_width (not head 0), and per-head
sprites would have DUPLICATED the logo — the script plugin already builds
one max_width x max_height canvas, centres every display inside it
(script-lib-sprite.c:536) and draws sprites at (sprite.x - display.x), so a
canvas-centred sprite is centred on every head. The arithmetic was right.
The bug was TIME: every position was a top-level statement evaluated once
at parse time. A head arriving/leaving mid-splash resizes the canvas, the
plugin re-centres the displays, and frozen sprites end up off by
(new_max - old_max)/2 on every head. One monitor never resizes the canvas —
hence "only when docked". Fix: one layout(), re-run from the existing
refresh callback on canvas change.
The trap that cost two attempts (now a comment): in plymouth script a bare
assignment inside a function writes the GLOBAL if that name already exists
globally. So `canvas_width = Window.GetWidth()` updated global.canvas_width
BEFORE the guard compared against it — always false, body never ran, splash
rendered as a bare background, NO error logged. Isolated with a 20-line
probe. Hence cw/ch.
#145 rides along: a VT loads one keymap and knows nothing of per-device
layouts, so the passphrase box types with the console layout — worth saying
before three wrong tries on a disk you cannot read (same gap as #114, one
step earlier). Fedora's mechanism does not port: ply_keymap_icon is a C
widget in the two-step plugin (the script plugin has no keyboard API), fed
from XKBLAYOUT in /etc/vconsole.conf, which NixOS never writes (plymouth's
trace says `XKBLAYOUT: (null)`). So @LAYOUT@ is baked from
services.xserver.xkb.layout like the palette — the FIRST of a comma list,
since that is what the VT loads. Icon is plymouth's own keyboard.png (the
same glyph Fedora shows), copied at build time so no GPL bytes enter the
repo, recoloured to subtext.
chmod +w after that copy: store files are 444 and recolor rewrites in
place. Without it magick fails, the phase aborts, and EVERY LATER SED
SILENTLY DOES NOT RUN — the theme shipped with @BG_R@ literals and I only
caught it by reading the build log.
Verified by render (tools/plymouth-preview.sh, real built theme): both
heads centred, password dialog showing padlock + entry + keyboard icon and
"us". V3 queued — only a real docked boot can resize a canvas.

Every rebuild while docked re-lit the panel and threw a workspace onto
it. Not forgetfulness: a rebuild PERFORMS an undock. Dock mode lived only
in the compositor (`keyword monitor <internal>, disable`, nothing written
down), the config's only monitor line is the catch-all
`monitor=,preferred,auto,1`, and rewriting the config makes Hyprland
reload it — re-enabling every output. Our own undock path already uses
`hyprctl reload` as exactly that hammer (hardware-proven 2026-07-14).
The watcher could not rescue it: reconcile diffs `monitors all`, which
lists disabled outputs, so the connected set is identical across the flip
— structurally blind, the blind spot of rounds 4-5's "the output set is
the truth".
So the intent is recorded where every other setting lives —
settings.display.dockMode, in-flake, menu-writable — written at the one
choke point both menu and watcher pass through (transition: dock → true,
undock → false, `enable` of an internal → false, because "Screen on" IS
leaving dock mode and must not be undone a second later). The watcher
re-asserts it as a tick invariant rather than an event reaction, which is
what makes the reload case work; auto_dock was already idempotent, so it
costs one `hyprctl monitors` per tick.
The trap avoided: baking the disable into the config would survive a
reload and hand a user with no external a zero-output session at login —
the #100/#127 brick. The config cannot know what is plugged in, so it
keeps defaulting to "everything on" and the re-assert is gated on an
external being present.
Verified: 9/9 gates unit-tested by driving the REAL generated function
against stubs (incl. no-external → never re-dock, profile active → yield,
already-docked → no churn), plus the state write/read round-trip on a
throwaway checkout so the live flake was untouched. V3 queued — needs a
relogin, the watcher is exec-once.

Bernardo saw Recovery ellipsize on a 2560x1440 external, which falsified
the item's model (40% + Inter 11 → "only below 1920"). Real cause: text
menus render through themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi, where boreal + neon-glass
pinned width: 620px (fixed — a wide panel buys nothing) while seven used
40%, and the font is whatever that file says — mostly monospace, far
wider than the Inter that was measured. The modelled combination ships in
no theme.
The insight: a menu must fit its longest label, which is a count of
characters in the THEME's font — so the window must scale with the font,
not the screen. 40% gives a 1366 panel 546px and a 2560 one 1024px for
the same row, and a 14pt mono theme needs ~25% more room than an 11pt one
on both; a percentage cannot see either fact.
Rofi has the right unit (`ch` = width of one digit in the current font)
and `calc( a min b )` to cap it, so every text menu — generated and all
nine whole-swaps — is now `width: calc( 84ch min 65% )`. 84ch fits the
longest row we ship (69 chars) plus icon and padding; the cap is
Bernardo's condition (never sprawl on a low-res panel) and it is
measured, not assumed.
Verified on hardware, not by arithmetic: 84ch = 756px in GeistMono 11 and
924px in JetBrainsMono 14; `calc( 84ch min 300px )` → 300px, so the clamp
really clamps. Screenshots at both ends — the real Recovery menu at 756px
(29% of 2560) with every label complete, and the Acer worst case
reproduced pixel-exactly (888px = 65% of 1366, JetBrainsMono 14) also
complete. Grid views override width per-invocation and are untouched.
checks.rofi-text-width guards the class, proven by pinning boreal back to
620px and watching it fail by name. Acer V3 queued for its own fontconfig.

#139 — calcurse/doctor floated full-screen. Two faults stacked, which is
why it looked like the float rules were dead:
1. Hyprland 0.55.4 silently ignores percentage `size` rules. Matrix on
hardware (both orders, kitty memory off): `size 60% 65%` never
applies, `size 1536 936` applies either way, configerrors empty both
times. Rule order was a red herring.
2. Kitty defaults to remember_window_size=yes and replays the last OS
window's size into every float — so after a tiled terminal, a sheet
opens maximized. This is the Ghostty regression: Ghostty had no such
memory, so fault 1 stayed invisible until #95.
Fix: remember_window_size=no (floats must be deterministic) and the sheets
ask for their own size — term-sheet.nix reads the focused monitor and
hands kitty the px, because px in a rule cannot mean "a fraction of *this*
screen" and one pair cannot serve 2560x1440 and the 1366x768 Acer (#131).
Those windows keep float/center and deliberately carry no size rule.
#141 — the updates click did nothing: whole-swaps hand-wrote
`sh -c '$TERMINAL …'` and Waybar has no TERMINAL (home.sessionVariables →
login shells only; the bar is spawned by Hyprland). Fixed at the root:
`nomarchy-updates upgrade-window` opens its own window, so all five call
sites name one env-free command and a theme file stops having an opinion
about terminals. checks.waybar-swap-env guards the class.
Bernardo asked mid-task for the update window to float — it is now the
third caller of the sheet helper (com.nomarchy.updates, 45%x50%).
V3 on the dev box: calendar 1536x936, doctor 1408x1008, updates 1152x720
— exactly the intended fractions, floating and centred; #141 driven under
`env -i` with no TERMINAL, matching Waybar's real environment; the guard
proven by reintroducing the bug. Acer V3 queued.

Bernardo's Meet calls lost their microphone because our own dock-audio
reprobe restarted PipeWire/Pulse/WirePlumber on every monitoradded (#100).
Chromium's audio service does not reconnect when the server disappears
under it, so it kept running and enumerated nothing; Zoom, started fresh
into a settled graph, looked fine and made it read like a browser bug.
reprobe now escalates cheapest-first — select → repair a parked card's
profile → restart the graph — so an ordinary plug never touches the graph
and no client loses its connection. wait_for_dock_sink polls for the sink
the plug is about to publish, so "not yet" is not mistaken for "not ever"
and cannot fall through to the restart. The restart stays as rung 3 for
the codec that only publishes its route after a re-probe: the one claim
the original comment made, and the only one it never demonstrated.
Verified on the dev box against the live graph: rung 1 selects the same
sink the restart-first path picked (HiFi__HDMI1__sink) in 2.0s instead of
~3.5s with pipewire/pulse/wireplumber MainPIDs unchanged; rung 3 reachable
and restarts+retries. Diagnosis proof was ordering across four boots —
restart-after-Chromium in both broken sessions, 24s before it in the
healthy one — and Bernardo reproduced on demand with a dock/undock.
Sweep: BACKLOG #138 deleted, ROADMAP gets the design record (incl. the
stale restart-first sentence in the #100 entry), V3 queued on the dev box
(relogin first — the watcher is exec-once), journal entry.

Blanking the only live output in dock mode led to a brick where wake and
even VT switch failed. Skip hypridle's 10m dpms off when any laptop
internal (eDP/LVDS/DSI) is present but not enabled; lock at 5m remains.
Undocked still blanks. Document LATER revisit for intentional
DPMS-when-docked once wake is proven.
V1: nix flake check --no-build. V3: docked idle stays lit under lock.
Recover from DPMS/lock blackout without a second machine: undock/enable
always issue dpms on; hypridle on-resume and after_sleep run
nomarchy-display-wake (zero-output undock rescue + auto-dump).
nomarchy-display-dump writes ~/nomarchy-display-dump-*.txt (SUPER+SHIFT+D
or Ctrl+Alt+F3 TTY). HARDWARE-QUEUE #127 no longer requires SSH.
V1: nix flake check --no-build. V3: docked idle on AMD box still open.
Human decision: 1h delay, battery only, Preferences enable/disable.
Wire systemd suspend-then-hibernate + HibernateDelaySec=1h +
HibernateOnACPower=false when settings.power.suspendThenHibernate is on
and boot.resumeDevice is set. Lid: s2h undocked, plain suspend on AC.
nomarchy-suspend for hypridle + Power menu (live state). LUKS unlock
before encrypted hibernate so s2h→disk is not double-password.
state-bridges assert the policy; HARDWARE-QUEUE #115 + suggested order.
V1: nix flake check --no-build. V3: bag-carry on hardware.
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 machine flake's git-tracked settings file is system state, not
"theme" only — rename it to state.json. CLI becomes nomarchy-state-sync
with a nomarchy-theme-sync symlink for scripts and muscle memory.
Eval (mkFlake, doctor, lifecycle) still accepts theme-state.json; the
next write migrates to state.json and removes the legacy file.
Documented in MIGRATION.md; drop the CLI alias after release notes.
Bernardo 2026-07-15: docked idle → black screens; external KB/mouse did
not wake; unplugging the external did not restore eDP; Caps Lock still
worked. Captures the "session crash" as a seat brick. HARDWARE-QUEUE
repro + journal steps for the next controlled run.
Ghostty's OpenGL 4.3 floor broke the Acer (HD 4000 / 4.2). Dual-terminal
support (default Ghostty + install-time Kitty fallback) was more complexity
than it was worth.
- Remove ghostty.nix / nomarchy.ghostty.enable
- Kitty always installed and themed from theme-state
- Default nomarchy.terminal = kitty; SUPER+Return, doctor, calendar,
what-changed use kitty --class=com.nomarchy.*
- Drop install-time glxinfo probe and mesa-demos on the installer
- Docs/REQUIREMENTS no longer list OpenGL 4.3 as a terminal floor
Verified: V0 flake check; option-docs; installer-safety; template HM has
kitty, no ghostty; menu/calendar emit classed kitty launches.
Ghostty needs OpenGL 4.3; older GPUs (Intel HD 4000) top out at 4.2.
Installer probes glxinfo and writes settings.terminal=kitty into
theme-state when below the floor. modules/home/kitty.nix enables Kitty
with the same palette, mono font, and opacity as Ghostty so the fallback
still looks like Nomarchy.
Default machines stay Ghostty-only (no kitty in the HM closure). Doctor
and calendar still invoke Ghostty by class — V3 on Acer for SUPER+Return.
Verified: V0 flake check; installer-safety; HM with terminal=kitty builds
themed kitty.conf + TERMINAL=kitty; default template has no kitty bin.
Bernardo: XPS starts Ghostty. Aspire only fails — first attempt before
home built (OpenGLOutdated), second after home built (quiet GDK_DISABLE
exit). Kitty was the manual working shell used to run both.
Photo A (Acer): OpenGL 4.2 → OpenGLOutdated / SurfaceError.
Photo B (XPS): silent exit after GDK_DISABLE=gles-api,vulkan with no
OpenGL line — different machine, different root cause. A fix for only
one is not done.
Real installs on Acer Aspire M5-481T and Dell XPS 9350 (2026-07-14):
- #123: HM pre-activate dies at dconf without XDG_RUNTIME_DIR on both
machines — partial first boot (weird GTK + missing nm-applet are
symptoms of the incomplete bake).
- #124: install seeds ?ref=v1 while writing main-era nomarchy.hardware.*,
and v1 lags hard enough that rebuilds die with "option does not exist".
- #95: Ghostty on the Acer is OpenGL 4.2 < required 4.3 (OpenGLOutdated);
XPS starts Ghostty fine.
HARDWARE-QUEUE V3 rows; photos stay local (.gitignore WhatsApp Image*).
A singleton default naming code.desktop left the live ISO with no text
handler — GIO skips missing .desktop files and offers nothing. Prefer
vscode when present, then org.gnome.TextEditor.desktop. Live also gains
mpv (video defaults had the same hole; free via the template pin).
checks.live-baseline-apps now requires every Default Applications key
to resolve to a present .desktop on live (HM + system path) and on the
default template install. Proved to fail on a vscode-only text/plain.
Verified: V2 (live-baseline-apps green + prove-to-fail); V0 flake check.
BACKLOG #118. Bernardo booted the live ISO and the Waybar health icon was red,
reporting smartd. Everything downstream turned out to be working correctly,
which is the part worth recording: smartd's config is DEVICESCAN, and where no
drive answers SMART it exits 17 ("Unable to monitor any SMART enabled
devices"), systemd marks the unit failed, nomarchy-doctor faithfully reports a
failed system unit, and Waybar paints @bad. The doctor was telling the truth.
smartd was the bug.
Scope was never live-only, which is why this sat in NOW rather than as a live
nit: services.smartd.enable mkDefaults true on every machine and QEMU virtio
exposes no SMART, so every VM install has been booting to a health warning
about a daemon with nothing to do — and every V2 run had been showing it as
noise.
Fixed with the distro's own self-gate convention: an ExecCondition running
`smartctl --scan`, which prints nothing exactly when smartd would find nothing.
A failed condition leaves the unit inactive rather than failed. Deliberately
NOT SuccessExitStatus = 17: that would also swallow exit 17 from a machine that
does have drives, which is the entire reason the daemon ships.
V2. checks.smartd-gate boots the REAL distro module rather than a restatement
of it (its nixpkgs.config needs mkForce to yield to the test's pkgs) and
asserts both halves, because they pull in opposite directions: a gate that
never skips leaves the red icon, and a gate that always skips silently disables
drive-health monitoring on real hardware — the failure nobody notices until a
disk dies quietly. So the no-SMART node must go ActiveState=inactive, unfailed,
and absent from `systemctl --failed` (what the doctor actually reads); and the
gate's logic is driven against a scan that DOES find a device, since QEMU
cannot answer SMART honestly and pretending otherwise would test nothing. The
check was proved to fail by unwiring the condition. flake check, doctor,
hardware-toggles, live-baseline-apps, option-docs and state-bridges pass.
V3 pending: that smartd still RUNS where drives have SMART (dev box, real
NVMe). Queued with an explicit fail-condition — if it skips there, revert the
gate rather than tune it.
Also swept: #120's size table said the duplicate chromium was gone; #121 was
reverted, so it is back and the table says so.

BACKLOG #103. Bernardo, live ISO 2026-07-14: still no browser, no office —
"that makes a live iso useful". He is right, and it is the thing a user judges
the distro by before installing, and what they boot to rescue a machine that
won't start. It could do neither.
The live HM user now names its own set: chromium, libreoffice-fresh,
gnome-text-editor, amberol, snapshot. Firefox deliberately excluded (Bernardo's
call): chromium already owns the HTTP mime default and ships in the installed
template, so it is the browser that matches what a user gets post-install.
I asked him to choose on a "~+2 GB" premise. The premise was wrong, and
measuring rather than assuming is what corrected it: system.extraDependencies
ALREADY pins the template's HM closure into the ISO for offline installs, so
chromium/libreoffice/amberol were already in the image's store — merely absent
from the live user's profile, so nothing put them on PATH or in the launcher.
The live and template chromium resolve to the SAME store path, verified, so
reusing the template's exact `chromium.override { enableWideVine = true; }`
costs zero; a plain `chromium` would have been a second 2.5 GiB closure. Only
gnome-text-editor and snapshot are new: 9 paths, 133 MiB uncompressed. His
Firefox call still held for the right reason — it was the one item genuinely
unpinned.
V2. Measured ISO delta, both built from the same tree — the item's pass
condition: 8.038 → 8.078 GiB = +41.2 MiB (+0.50%). New
checks.live-baseline-apps asserts each app is on PATH *and* has a .desktop the
launcher can see (a binary without one is invisible, which is the failure that
matters), that HTTPS resolves to a chromium entry actually PRESENT (#94's exact
trap — a mime default naming a package nothing ships), and that firefox has not
crept back, since that is a size decision not a drive-by. The guard was proved
to fail: dropping snapshot makes it name the missing entry. flake check,
live-install-entry, option-docs, template-sot green.
V3 pending: that the apps LAUNCH needs hardware — queued on the Acer M5-481T,
from the launcher only, since that is the claim a file-level check cannot make.
Also filed, from measuring the 8 GiB rather than speculating about it:
* #120 (NEXT, Bernardo's call) — a netinstall ISO beside the offline one.
Starts from numbers: the offline pin is only 4.02 of 18.03 GiB uncompressed
(~22%), so dropping it still leaves a 14 GiB desktop (~6.3 GiB compressed).
"No pin" is not the lighter ISO; and without a binary cache for Nomarchy's
own outputs a netinstall trades a download for a from-source install.
* #121 — the Widevine wrapper drags a SECOND 687 MiB unwrapped chromium in
for its share/applications alone. Pre-existing, on every installed machine.
* #119 — text/plain names vscode, which the live ISO never ships.

Bernardo, post-reboot: "Use for login" was the wrong question. Whether the
finger works is one decision, not two, and whether login prompts at all is
a different decision that was never in the menu.
System › Fingerprint is now a single Fingerprint (on/off) switch, leading
the menu with enroll/list/verify/delete as the plumbing behind it. It
writes the one settings.fingerprint.pam key, and modules/home/idle.nix now
defaults idle.fingerprint from that same key — so the lock screen and
login/sudo move together instead of drifting apart the way they did until
e2de906. nomarchy-fingerprint does the two rebuilds this needs (sudo
system for PAM, home switch for hyprlock) and refuses to turn on with no
finger enrolled.
System › Auto-login is new (nomarchy-autologin), and it is what decides
whether anything is asked at boot: auto-login on means no prompt whatever
the fingerprint switch says; off means the greeter asks, for a password or
a finger. Installer-seeded ON for LUKS machines — the passphrase already
gates the disk — and off without it, where the greeter is the only thing
between power-on and the desktop.
Both had to become state-owned to be toggleable at all, which surfaced two
real bugs:
* nomarchy.system.greeter.autoLogin defaulted from
`config.nomarchy.settings…` — an attribute that exists ONLY on the Home
Manager side. On NixOS it is absent and `or null` swallowed the error,
so the default silently evaluated to null on every machine ever built.
That is why the installer baked a Nix line: the state path never
worked. Now read via theme-state-read.nix (the hardware.nix/timezone.nix
pattern) and mkDefault'd, so the menu owns it and a hand-set line still
pins it. Two more options read the same phantom bridge — BACKLOG #116.
* `theme-sync get` printed Python's "None" for a JSON null, so every
`case … null)` a caller writes would miss. Now prints "null", as the
comment above it already promised for booleans.
The installer seeds the state instead of emitting the system.nix line,
because that line outranks the state and would strand the toggle.
V1 (V3 pending: HARDWARE-QUEUE). nix flake check --no-build, installer-
safety and option-docs all pass. Proved by eval/build, not assumed: a state
carrying autoLogin yields greetd initial_session {"user":"bernardo"}, the
template state (no autoLogin) yields none, and a hand-set null beats a state
that says otherwise; a state with only fingerprint.pam=true — nothing set by
hand — renders the hyprlock auth.fingerprint block; both new tools pass
bash -n and land in systemPackages (nomarchy-fingerprint only with a
reader); the patcher writes settings.greeter.autoLogin and no system.nix
line; and the get round trip prints null, so the menu reads "Auto-login
(off)" where it would have read "(on)".
The reader itself, the two rebuilds, and the reboot are hardware — queued.

Bernardo, AMD dev box, gen 422, fingerprint.pam = true (parallel default):
one prompt, typed password works, sensor works, wrong-finger x3 falls back to
password. Three of the item's counts confirmed on the real reader.
The fourth — "password keeps working with fprintd stopped" — is removed as a
trap rather than checked off. fprintd is D-Bus activated, so `systemctl stop`
does not keep it down: PAM asks D-Bus, D-Bus restarts it. Bernardo ran it and
reported that *the fingerprint still worked*, which is precisely the evidence
that the daemon came back and the dead-reader path was never exercised. A
check that passes whether or not the property holds is worse than no check.
The property itself needs no hardware: password is `auth sufficient` at order
11700, independent of the fprintd rule at 11400, so no fprintd failure can
gate it — visible by eval on the rendered pam.d text, and asserted in the VM
with no reader by checks.hardware-toggles. Doing it for real would need
`systemctl mask`, and masking a working machine's auth daemon to re-prove an
evaluated invariant is not a trade worth making.
Still open on this item: hyprlock, the greeter (needs the reboot), and
`fingerprint.parallel = false` restoring sequential behavior.

The last unproven half of bec826b, and it needed a keyboard that stays behind
when the dock leaves. The dev box's by-tech hangs off the BenQ's own hub, so
it always walked away with the cable — a Logitech K400 with its receiver in
the laptop is the real case, and Bernardo happened to plug one in.
Both halves measured on hardware (dev box, 2026-07-14):
- PRIMARY: across a real unplug + the fixed transition, the K400 kept its
remembered `us`. Panel back, layout intact.
- CONTROL: a bare `hyprctl reload` with no restore took the same board from
`us` to the session's `gb`.
The control matters more than the pass. That reload clobbers runtime
`device[<name>]:kb_layout` was an inference from the mechanism when
restore_keyboards was written — reasonable, but unmeasured, and this session
has already shown what unmeasured reasoning about this watcher is worth.
It holds: without that call the undock's escalation would have silently
broken the layout of every keyboard that outlives the cable, trading a black
panel for a keyboard that types the wrong characters at the password prompt.
Verified V2 again after the comment/doc edits: nix flake check --no-build,
checks.docking-ux, shellcheck clean.
Round 8 now asks only for what is still open: relogin (the watcher calls the
transition by baked store path, so exec-once means it runs the old build
until then) and repetition — 5+ unplugs, one with the lid shut.

Round 7 FAILED: 5-6 consecutive unplugs on the dev box, the panel never came
back. Round 6's retry could not have worked, because round 6's diagnosis was
wrong — and so was the "phantom re-add" theory I brought to this session.
With ZERO enabled outputs — panel disabled by the dock, external gone —
Hyprland 0.55.4 accepts `hyprctl keyword monitor eDP-1,preferred,auto,1`,
prints `ok`, exits 0, and never flushes it: the rule waits for a DRM event
that is not coming. It is inert, not raced. Retrying it 25x/poll for 6 polls
bought 30s of black screen and nothing else.
What made this survive two rounds is worth more than the fix: every
`transition=undock result=ok` in the round-6 journal was Bernardo plugging
the cable back in because the screen was black. His hotplug flushed the
queued rule and the next poll took the credit. Success was indistinguishable
from the user working around the failure, so the logs confirmed whichever
story we brought to them. Ten minutes of probing on hardware killed both.
Probed live 2026-07-14 (dev box, cable out): keyword inert across 4s and 5s
in two runs; `dispatch forcerendererreload` inert too; only `hyprctl reload`
escapes — 99ms and 289ms. So: issue the keyword (enough whenever another
output is still enabled, e.g. the menu's Dock mode), and escalate to reload
only when `monitors` proves it inert. After a reload, re-assert the rule so a
config that parks the panel off cannot undo the undock, and restore per-device
keyboard layouts — a reload re-reads the config and drops the runtime
`device[<name>]:kb_layout` an external board depends on. The menu's `enable`
now proves itself against `monitors` too, instead of cheering for an exit code.
Verified V3 (partial): the fixed transition driven through a real unplug —
panel on, workspaces 1-3 home, 1.8s, `keyword=inert escalate=reload` ->
`enable=via-reload` -> `result=ok`. V2: nix flake check --no-build; docking-ux
+ dock-audio; monitor-fallback.nix; shellcheck clean on display-transition.
NOT proven, and queued as HARDWARE-QUEUE round 8: the watcher-driven path
(exec-once + baked store path = relogin required, the round-5 trap) and
repetition. The keyboard-restore path is untested — the dev box's keyboard
hangs off the dock's hub, so it leaves with the cable; round 8 adds a check
with a keyboard in the laptop. The VM harness still cannot reach any of this:
QEMU aborts Hyprland if the last active output is deleted while the DRM output
is disabled, which is the same zero-output degeneracy from the other side.
New BACKLOG #114 (PROPOSED): tuigreet ignores per-device keyboard layouts —
a VT has one keymap, so the greeter cannot honour `device[]:kb_layout`.
Bernardo hit it logging out while docked; not a regression, a design gap.

Bernardo's round 6 report plus the keyboard result confirms on hardware:
wallpaper on the external, automatic dock mode, audio reaching the
monitor, and the external keyboard prompting exactly once (was four).
That leaves headphone jack-follow as the only count from rounds 4-6 never
tested at all, so it gets its own entry rather than staying buried in a
list of settled ones. Fold it into the round 7 session — the dock is
already in hand and the two checks don't interfere.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 6 passed on the plug side but unplugging the cable left the laptop
panel black until it was re-docked. The journal named it: across three
undocks, two logged result=enable-timeout and one result=ok — a race, not
a logic error.
Two halves, both needed:
- `hyprctl keyword monitor eDP-1,preferred,auto,1` is accepted (exit 0)
while Hyprland is still tearing down the departing external, then
silently dropped. Re-issue it on every poll for 5s and keep `monitors`
listing the panel — not hyprctl's exit code — as the only proof.
- The watcher fired the undock once off the removal event and marked the
departure handled regardless (`|| true` + awaiting_lid_open=1). Since
known_outputs had already moved, the set-changed guard never reopened
and nothing retried, so one lost keyword cost the panel until re-dock.
The undock is now a queued invariant driven on the 1s tick, bounded at
6 attempts so a genuinely unenableable panel can't pin the inhibitor.
The VM harness cannot reach this race: QEMU's headless backend aborts
Hyprland if the last active output is deleted while the DRM output is
disabled, so the test must undock before removing DP-1 and never collides
the two. Noted there, and V3 queued as round 7 — unplug 5+ times, since
the old failure only hit ~2 in 3.
Verified: V2 — nix flake check --no-build; monitor-fallback.nix exit 0 in
57s; shellcheck clean. The fix itself is V3 pending.

Bernardo's retest on the AMD dev box. Two of the four reports were never
running the new code — both watchers are Hyprland `exec-once`, so a
`nomarchy-home` switch leaves the old processes alive until relogin; only
`nomarchy-dock-audio`, a user service, had picked the fix up. The journal
showed the old watcher's `event=monitoradded` next to the new audio tool's
`result=no-available-sink`, which is what gave it away. The other two were
real.
Automatic dock mode did not exist. The watcher auto-*undocked* when the last
external left, but on plug it only ever matched a display profile — and with
no profile saved and displayProfileAuto unset it did nothing at all, while
`Dock mode` was reachable only from the menu. Half the pair being automatic
is what made the dock feel broken: the session came home by itself but never
left. Mirror it, letting a matched profile win as the more specific layout.
The BenQ's audio was unreachable by any means because WirePlumber had the
GPU's DisplayPort card pinned to `pro-audio`, whose raw `pro-output-N` sinks
carry no ports, no routing and no volume — so no sink matched, nothing was
selectable, and the profile is stored per card and so survived forever. The
monitor's own USB card is input-only (every profile has sinks: 0), leaving
DisplayPort as the only path to its speakers. Repair the card when a plug
finds nothing routable, which is both the symptom and the only moment worth
touching profiles: narrow to cards carrying an *available* HDMI/DP port —
the monitor asking for audio over the cable — so the internal analog card is
never touched and a considered pro-audio setup elsewhere survives.
Verified V2: checks.docking-ux and checks.dock-audio pass with guards for
both; the repair filter picks exactly the GPU card → HiFi against the dev
box's live graph, leaving the BenQ USB, internal analog and Bluetooth cards
alone. Hotplug itself still needs hardware — HARDWARE-QUEUE round 6, which
now leads with the relogin requirement that invalidated round 5.

Four failures from Bernardo's round-4 dock pass on the AMD dev box, plus a
headphone regression, tracked to three causes.
The display watcher ran socat with `-T 1`, which closes Hyprland's IPC
socket after one second of *inactivity*. A dock is normally plugged into an
idle desktop, so the socket was almost always mid-reconnect at that moment
and `monitoradded` was lost outright — and the wallpaper repaint, the
docking profile, and the dock-audio reprobe all hung off that single event.
The reconnect path recovered only the lid inhibitor, so the dock stayed
half-configured until something else poked the watcher.
Make the connection long-lived and take the periodic tick from a 1s `read`
timeout instead, then let the *output set* — not the event — decide: a new
`reconcile` diffs it and is called on both ticks and monitor events, so an
event now only makes the reaction instant rather than necessary. A newly
present external output is as unambiguous a physical plug as the event was,
so it may still override a manual sink choice. Wallpaper paints are retried
over the first few seconds because awww registers an output on its own
schedule, not the compositor's.
Hyprland calls every key-capable evdev node a "keyboard": the lid and power
buttons, a monitor's control channel, and each extra HID collection of a
real keyboard. One dock with one keyboard asked for a layout four times.
udev already draws the distinction properly, so take ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD from
it, map the names into Hyprland's spelling, and ask once per physical
keyboard — applying the answer to every node it brought with it.
Finally, a sink WirePlumber has been told to prefer is stored as the
configured default and outranks every priority rule. On UCM cards the
headphones are a sink of their own rather than a route, so once anything
pinned a sink (this feature on a dock plug, or the user in the Audio menu),
plugging headphones in could no longer take the audio back. The `watch`
loop already subscribed to exactly the right events with an empty handler;
finish it. Unplug needs no undo — the pin goes stale and WirePlumber falls
back by priority on its own, to the dock when docked and the speakers
otherwise.
Verified V2: checks.docking-ux and checks.dock-audio pass with new guards
against each regression; the keyboard filter and both sink selectors run
against the dev box's real devices and sink names. The hotplug paths need
hardware — queued as docking round 5.
Also queues #107, renaming theme.json now that it holds the system state.

BACKLOG #96 + #97 (Acer live pass). Battery limit: the System row now
gates on battery presence (same rule as Power profile) instead of the
charge-threshold sysfs node, so firmware without the control gets the
leaf's explanation ("no charge_control_end_threshold — hardware
capability") rather than a silently missing row that reads as a broken
feature. Bluetooth: the leaf checks bluetooth.service before launching
blueman-manager and replaces the raw "Connection to BlueZ failed" with
a state-aware message (service stopped vs no adapter in
/sys/class/bluetooth, with rfkill/firmware hints).
Verified: V1 — nomarchy-menu builds, bash -n green, both paths in the
generated script; V0 flake check green. QEMU can fake neither a
threshold-less battery nor a BT adapter: #96 behavioral check queued in
HARDWARE-QUEUE (Acer + T14s); #97's no-adapter message will be
click-checked in the next VM run (V2 pending).

Round 1 of #101's V3 failed on TuringMachine (2026-07-13 18:16): a
SPACED dock/AC event storm — each run finishing before the next event —
never coalesces, so 5 successful sub-second starts inside systemd's
default 10s window tripped start-limit-hit and marked the unit failed
(doctor badge) although every run succeeded. The write is idempotent
and cheap; rate limiting it only manufactures false failures, so the
unit sets StartLimitIntervalSec=0.
checks.battery-charge-limit now asserts the exemption and runs 8
sequential starts expecting a clean, non-failed state; the original
mid-run coalescing phase is unchanged.
Verified: V2 — the check passes under KVM (exit 0). V0 flake check
green. V3 round 2 re-queued in HARDWARE-QUEUE.

Treat the picker-only (none) row as an empty XKB variant at the shared input boundary and again in the template patcher. Guard the real downstream output and console keymap, and carry the sentinel through the offline installer VM.
Verified: V0 full flake evaluation plus shell/Python/Nix/diff checks; V1 installer-keyboard, installer-safety, and template-SoT builds; V2 full KVM offline LUKS+swap install and themed first boot. No V3 required.
USB-C power event bursts could repeatedly restart and SIGTERM the settling oneshot until systemd reached its start limit. Let successful runs return inactive and use coalescing start jobs for immediate and delayed reapplication.
Verified: V0 nix flake check --no-build, module parse, and git diff --check; V2 focused battery-charge-limit KVM test with a 12-event active-run burst. V3 hardware item #101 remains queued.
Restore the old flake's external-only workspace handoff, protect closed-lid cable removal with a verified low-level logind inhibitor, and use monitor-added as the settled audio reprobe boundary.
Verified: V2 — nix flake check --no-build; docking-ux, option-docs, and template-sot checks; KVM tools/monitor-fallback.nix lifecycle test.
V3 pending: closed-lid BenQ round 4 in agent/HARDWARE-QUEUE.md.
Real dock QA exposed pointer-bound menus, an absent default rescue watcher, the unsafe zero-output panel-off path, missing keyboard/audio hotplug coverage, and unpainted new outputs.
Route Rofi to the focused output; replace panel disable with safe workspace migration; always run and reconnect the display watcher and repaint hotplugged outputs; expose a default per-device keyboard picker; handle audio card availability transitions.
Verified: V1 — nix flake check --no-build; checks.docking-ux real Home Manager artifact build; option-docs/template-sot; Nix parse, py_compile, and git diff --check. V2 unavailable: no readable KVM. V3 pending in agent/HARDWARE-QUEUE.md.
Bernardo promoted the PROPOSED item live: with fingerprint PAM on,
sudo/login should accept whichever factor comes first instead of
pam_fprintd's wait-for-the-reader-then-password. Stock PAM cannot
express parallel factors (linux-pam#301), so this packages
pam-fprint-grosshack v0.3.0 (pkgs/, pinned from GitLab — the
field-standard fprintd fork), source-reviewed before packaging: every
failure path (no reader, no prints, fprintd absent/hung, timeout,
password typed) returns PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL and falls through; a
typed password is only ferried via PAM_AUTHTOK to the stock
`auth sufficient pam_unix.so … try_first_pass` rule — the module never
validates passwords itself, so it cannot lock out password login.
New option nomarchy.hardware.fingerprint.parallel, default TRUE (the
better UX is what opting into fingerprint PAM buys; false = stock
sequential). Wiring swaps the modulePath of stock fprintd's rule slot
(mkForce) so the sufficient-before-pam_unix ordering is inherited, not
recomputed. README + downstream template rows added.
Verified: V2 — checks.hardware-toggles extended to three nodes, green:
parallel node asserts the grosshack auth line precedes pam_unix in
/etc/pam.d/sudo and that with NO reader a correct password still
passes sudo while a wrong one fails (the lockout-safety invariant);
seqpam node gets stock pam_fprintd and no grosshack; nopam gets
neither. flake check + option-docs + template-sot green.
V3 pending (HARDWARE-QUEUE, AMD dev box): the real type-or-touch race,
fprintd-stopped fallback, hyprlock/greeter after a fingerprint win.

Bernardo's question: with "Laptop screen off" active, does the panel
come back when the dock is yanked? VM answer (new maintainer harness
tools/monitor-fallback.nix, softGL desktop): no — Hyprland 0.55.4
leaves the session with zero active outputs and never re-enables a
soft-disabled monitor. rescue_blackout in the display hotplug watcher
now re-enables every disabled output (immediate, retried, idempotent
keyword + toast) whenever a monitorremoved leaves nothing active;
independent of the profile auto-switch and its settings gate.
Sharp edge documented rather than hidden: the zero-output state itself
crashes Hyprland in the VM ~4/5 runs (aquamarine CBackend::dispatchIdle
ABRT within ~0.5s — faster than any userland rescue; a control run
removing the external with the panel ACTIVE survives 5/5, so the state
is the trigger, not headless removal; crash reproduced with the rescue
provably inert, so not caused by it). Rescue ships as defense-in-depth:
it recovers every surviving case, and the worst case on real DRM is
session-to-greeter on a re-lit panel instead of a black brick. Rider
fix: `grep -c .` exits 1 at count zero — the ||-guard on that pipeline
silently disabled the rescue exactly when it mattered.
Verified: hazard V2 (VM reproduces the dead state); control
discriminator 5/5; flake check green. V3 pending: real-dock
undock-while-off in HARDWARE-QUEUE (run with nothing important open;
crash on real DRM = rework the row to mirror or wait for a Hyprland
bump).

Bernardo's dock test (the #87 V3): audio stayed on EasyEffects→speakers.
Root cause, established live: WirePlumber's stored default
(default-nodes state, written by any past explicit pick) outranks the
priority.session rules, so #87 alone can never move the default on a
real machine; EasyEffects 8 follows the default device (kcfg default
true, verified by watching its output links). Fix: nomarchy-dock-audio
(modules/home/dock-audio.nix, nomarchy.dockAudio.enable, default on) —
a pactl-subscribe watcher that set-default-sinks new dock-class sinks
(regex data imported from modules/nixos/dock-audio-rules.nix, single
source) with a toast, plus a startup sweep for login-while-docked that
never overrides a manual in-dock pick. Unplug falls back by priority.
Menus: Display gains docked rows — "Laptop screen off · everything →
<ext>" (live-only disable; a persisted one could black-screen an
undocked boot), "Screen on · <name>", "Move workspace · → next
monitor", "Swap workspaces" (exactly-2 gate); Audio gains a self-gated
"Send output → <dock sink>" quick row. All self-gate on real outputs.
Verified: V2-equivalent on live hardware (no dock available) — watcher
followed a fake dock-named null sink and fell back on unload, control
run without the watcher stayed pinned (proving the stored-default
diagnosis), EE output links moved mid-playback; generated menu bash -n
green, dock-row jq exercised on real pactl JSON, dispatchers probed on
live Hyprland; flake check + option-docs + template-sot green.
V3 pending: real-dock retest ×2 in HARDWARE-QUEUE (watcher keys on
new-sink events; pre-existing nodes that only flip route availability
would need the queued diagnosis data).

Bernardo ran the real power-cycle on the T14s (LUKS + btrfs @swap
swapfile): hibernate → power off → single LUKS unlock → session
restored. BACKLOG #76 deleted; HARDWARE-QUEUE resume entry pruned
(outcome recorded in the remaining no-swap-notify entry, JOURNAL, and
the ROADMAP ✓-entry); Decisions hibernation note marked shipped. The
no-swap Hibernate notify check remains the one open leftover.

RegisteredStatusNotifierItems + busctl get-property.
#76: the dev box now runs Nomarchy (migrated 2026-07-11), so the
'not a Nomarchy machine' blocker is gone — retagged [human]; queue

Raise priority.session for HDMI/DisplayPort (1100) and USB (1050) ALSA
outputs so the default sink follows dock plug/unplug; built-in analog
wins again when externals disappear. Rules live in

Verified: V2 — flake check --no-build; checks.dock-audio green.
V3 pending: HARDWARE-QUEUE #87 real HDMI/USB-dock hotplug.
Explicit HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore under services.logind so closing
the lid with an external display connected does not suspend. Undocked
lid path left to upstream defaults. checks.clamshell-logind asserts the

Verified: V2 — flake check --no-build; checks.clamshell-logind green.
V3 pending: HARDWARE-QUEUE #86 lid+external on a laptop.
The Exit node picker listed bare hostnames; Mullvad-style nodes are
meaningless without their location. Rows are now
"hostname — Country City", sliced from `tailscale exit-node list` by
the header's fixed-width column offsets (COUNTRY/CITY can be
multi-word, so field splitting is wrong by construction); nodes without
a location stay a bare hostname, and the pick strips back to the
hostname at the first space before `tailscale set --exit-node`.
Closes BACKLOG LATER "VPN exit-node richer display"; the VPN
HARDWARE-QUEUE entry now covers the location rows.
Verification: V1 — the awk was proven against a fabricated fixture
(one-word city, multi-word "United States / New York, NY", bare
self-hosted node), flake check exit 0, downstream-template-home builds
(writeShellScriptBin syntax-gates the script). Real `tailscale
exit-node list` output stays V3 (existing VPN menu live-paths entry).

Set BOTH nomarchy.nightlight.latitude/.longitude and the night light
switches backing unit: wlsunset computes sunrise/sunset from the
location daily (the fixed .sunrise/.sunset are ignored;
.temperature feeds the night temp). Everything user-facing is
unchanged — same nomarchy-nightlight toggle script, Waybar moon, and
live-state ExecCondition gate; the unit name is a single let-binding
so all three follow together. Declarative-only on purpose: coordinates
are machine config like the keyboard layout, so home.nix (commented
template example), not a menu writer.
checks.nightlight-geo guards the wiring at pure eval: rendered
wlsunset ExecStart carries the coords + night temperature, the
ExecCondition gate landed on the swapped unit, hyprsunset stays off in
geo mode.
Verification: V1 — nix flake check --no-build exit 0 (evals the new

New standing rule (LOOP.md §5 step 4, echoed in AGENTS.md): when a task
ships, grep its number/feature name across agent/ and docs/ and update
or delete every cross-reference it made stale, in the same commit —
including pruning checked-off [x] HARDWARE-QUEUE entries whose outcome
is recorded (journal/ROADMAP; git history is the archive).
First application: BACKLOG PROPOSED groomed (the auto time-of-day theme
pitch was stale — shipped as #79; shipped/promoted placeholder lines
removed; v1.0 pointer rewritten; FUTURE promoted-stub dropped);
HARDWARE-QUEUE pruned of 29 checked entries (363→253 lines) with
dangling references reworded and the prune rule documented in its
header.
Also closes the zram user-doc gap: README §3 now documents the zram
default (zstd/50%/prio 100), hibernation working out of the box on new
installs, and the MIGRATION.md runbook for existing machines.
Verification: V0 (docs/meta only).

The dev box runs Bernardo's own NixOS (TuringMachine, 25.11), not
Nomarchy — so hibernating it tests that config's hibernate, not
Nomarchy's oom.nix/patch-template/rofi wiring, and can't close#76's V3.
Its layout (LUKS cryptroot + btrfs @ + /swap/swapfile + resume_offset)
does resume, which corroborates the MIGRATION.md runbook, but nothing
more. Rescope the two #76 HARDWARE-QUEUE entries to require a machine
actually running Nomarchy (a Latitude install, or the dev box after
migration), and fix the matching reference in the BACKLOG #76 stub.
Verification: V0 (docs/agent-notes only).

Add checks.hibernate: a runNixOSTest modeled on nixpkgs' hibernate.nix,
wired to the actual risk #76 introduces — coexistence with the zram swap
that oom.nix now enables by default. It imports oom.nix, puts the disk
swap at a lower priority than zram with an explicit boot.resumeDevice,
and uses systemd-initrd. The test drives a full
hibernate -> power-off -> resume -> crash cycle: a volatile ramfs marker
survives resume but NOT a crash-boot (proving genuine resume), and it
asserts zram sits at priority 100 while the disk swap is lower, so the
hibernate image lands on disk rather than volatile zram.
What QEMU genuinely can't do — feed a boot-time resume_offset for a btrfs
swapfile (offset only exists after first-boot allocation) or drive a
LUKS-initrd unlock — stays a V3 laptop check (HARDWARE-QUEUE, dev box
already runs that exact layout), plus the no-swap notify in a real
session. With this, all V0/V1/V2 work on #76 is done; #76 collapses to a
[blocked:hw] stub and the design record moves to ROADMAP.
Verification: V2 PASS — nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.hibernate built
the driver fresh and exited 0. nix flake check --no-build green.
