BACKLOG #99: the live-session seed (nomarchy-seed-flake) did a bare
`cp -r` with no `git init`, so `~/.nomarchy` was not a repo in the live
session and nomarchy-doctor's `git ls-files --error-unmatch
theme-state.json` false-alarmed "theme-state.json is NOT git-tracked"
(installed systems commit at nomarchy-install.sh:654 and were always
fine). The seed now init+add+commits, exactly like the installer.
Verified: V2 — focused serial-log VM run
(/tmp/nomarchy-v2-theme-99/): doctor prints "theme-state.json is
git-tracked" and "flake checkout is clean"; GIT_REPO_OK / TRACKED_OK
markers. A drv-equivalence test proves the seed change is
build-neutral: homeConfigurations.<user>.activationPackage is
byte-identical path-seeded vs git-seeded
(bvl30ggn...-home-manager-generation.drv). nix flake check green.
The same run exposed a separate, pre-existing failure — offline theme
switching in the live session rebuilds from source and dies offline —
filed as BACKLOG #113 (NOT caused by this change: same drv either way).

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.

With settings.autoCommit on, only menu/theme mutations were committed
(theme-sync pathspec-limits to theme-state.json by design), so hand
edits to system.nix/home.nix and lock bumps stayed forever-dirty.
New internal nomarchy-autocommit (nomarchy-lifecycle): live-reads the
same flag, commits everything dirty as "nomarchy: auto-commit before
<pull|rebuild|home switch>" with the swept file list in the body,
fallback identity, never fatal (|| true at call sites). Called at the
top of all three lifecycle commands; before the ff-only pull it also
un-dirties the tree. Exposed via passthru.autocommit + package export;
guarded by checks.lifecycle-autocommit (sandbox repos: sweep, no-op on
clean/off/non-repo). Sync sweep: README, RECOVERY, ROADMAP, rofi
toggle, control-center prompt, theme-sync docstring, JOURNAL.
Verified: V1+ — flake check --no-build green; the new check builds;
end-to-end run of the built nomarchy-rebuild (stubbed sudo/rebuild)
against a copy of a real dirty ~/.nomarchy: 4 files → one commit,
clean tree. No VM boot — no session-visible surface.

Post-migration annoyances from TuringMachine:
- Force fprintAuth from fingerprint.pam (NixOS defaults it on with fprintd)
- First-boot toast waits for swaync, retries, only marks after success
- Night light status/toggle handles masked units + hyprsunset/wlsunset
- VPN menu: define rofi_menu in nomarchy-vpn (was a silent no-op)
- Left arrow = ↩ Back in list menus; GTK menu contrast via Stylix
- Mic-mute LED udev + sync after wpctl; EasyEffects starts after tray
- Migration guide: HM before GUI login, fingerprint/browser/VPN notes
Verified: flake check --no-build; checks.first-boot; checks.hardware-toggles
(pam=false node). V3 session items pending after user rebuild.
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
modules/nixos/dock-audio-rules.nix; checks.dock-audio covers the contract.
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
baked logind.conf and active logind; real multi-monitor lid V3 queued.
Verified: V2 — flake check --no-build; checks.clamshell-logind green.
V3 pending: HARDWARE-QUEUE #86 lid+external on a laptop.
If the installer left /var/log/nomarchy-hm-preactivate.log and no Home
Manager generation exists, doctor reports ✖ with the recovery one-liner
(home-manager switch --flake ~/.nomarchy -b bak). Clears once a
generation is present. checks.doctor covers both arms.
Verified: V2 — checks.doctor green; local smoke.
nomarchy-what-changed wraps nvd into "N added, M removed, K updated"
summaries. nomarchy-rebuild / nomarchy-home print full nvd and toast
the one-liner; System › What changed? offers toast + floating report.
checks.what-changed fixtures nvd via NOMARCHY_NVD.
Verified: V2 — flake check --no-build; checks.what-changed green;
local smoke on real HM generations.
One-shot user unit fires a dismissible "You're set" notification on the
first graphical session (SUPER+M / SUPER+T / SUPER+? + Network + Doctor),
then writes settings.firstBootShown into the flake checkout. Skips the
live ISO hostname (hosts/live.nix keeps its own toast). Toggle:
nomarchy.firstBootWelcome.enable. checks.first-boot covers the gate.
Verified: V2 — flake check --no-build; checks.first-boot green; local
shim smoke; downstream-template-home ships the unit.
Report-only cycle_count + retained capacity (charge_* or energy_*) as
% of design on system batteries; soft warn below 70% of design; skip
when attrs missing. NOMARCHY_POWER_SUPPLY_ROOT for the checks.doctor
fixture (test_power has no cycle/design attrs).
Verified: V2 — nix flake check --no-build; checks.doctor green (fake
BAT0 cycles/% + Device-scope ignore); local BAT0 smoke (energy_*).
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
asserts + option-docs sync); built downstream-template-home (default
hyprsunset path unregressed). V3 pending: visible warm shift at the
location's night + instant toggle/off-persistence on the swapped unit
(HARDWARE-QUEUE § Any machine).

Push #76's swapfile-resume residual into a VM as far as headlessly possible.
A full hibernate→resume from a RUNTIME swapfile turned out not to be
headless-reachable: systemd reports CanHibernate=no for a swap that isn't
declared in the boot config, and a runtime-computed resume_offset can't be
fed into the boot cmdline (the genuine chicken-and-egg). So the check now
verifies, bounded and deterministically, what the partition test
(checks.hibernate) can't and what a VM CAN prove: the installer's btrfs
@swap swapfile is built correctly and its offset is valid — NOCOW
mkswapfile, file-type swapon, a good `map-swapfile -r` offset the kernel
accepts (/sys/power/resume_offset), and zram (prio 100) above it.
The literal encrypted-swapfile power-cycle + LUKS-initrd unlock stays a V3
laptop check (the dev box runs exactly this layout, /proc/cmdline verified).
(First cut had an unbounded wait_for_shutdown that hung on the CanHibernate
refusal; rewritten with a thread-bounded wait + a CanHibernate pre-check,
which gave the clean verdict. Device is /dev/vdb without useNixStoreImage.)
Verification: V2 PASS (nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.hibernate-swapfile,
fresh, exit 0); flake check --no-build green. #76 residual narrowed in
BACKLOG/ROADMAP.

Bernardo rightly pushed back on deferring #79 to a real session: a
simulated sunset IS VM-testable. Add checks.auto-theme, a runNixOSTest
that installs nomarchy-theme-sync, points NOMARCHY_DEFAULT_THEMES at the
presets, stubs the rebuild via NOMARCHY_REBUILD (a marker), configures
the day/night pair + schedule, then WALKS THE VM CLOCK across the
boundary: 19:55 -> 20:05 -> 20:06 -> next-day 07:30, asserting the active
theme goes summer-day -> night (1 rebuild) -> night (idempotent, still 1)
-> day (2 rebuilds).
This isolates the auto decision + apply + rebuild-trigger; the actual
home-manager switch is stubbed (that generic apply path is exercised by
every manual theme change). The only on-hardware residual is the user
timer firing on its OnCalendar schedule, which systemd-analyze validates.
#79 drops its [blocked:hw] tag — it's V2-verified. ROADMAP updated;
lesson recorded in MEMORY (don't default timer/session features to V3:
stub the generic step, simulate the clock).
Verification: V2 PASS (nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.auto-theme, fresh,
exit 0); V0 flake check green.

nomarchy-doctor gains a read-only hibernate/sleep section (the highest-ROI
Day-2 gap, a natural #76 follow-on): resume device on the kernel cmdline
(+ resume_offset for a swapfile), disk swap >= RAM, zram active, and any
suspend/hibernate error in the previous boot's kernel log. Self-gates
(skip on swap=0) and emits only ok/warn/skip, so it never fails the sheet.
Adds `hibernate` to the checks.doctor probe list so the row is asserted.
Fixes a set -euo pipefail hazard the first VM run caught (exit 1, no
verdict): a no-match grep inside $(...) and a `cond && action` both abort
under set -e — now guarded with || true / || echo 0 / if. Recorded in
MEMORY as a reusable gotcha for writeShellScriptBin scripts.
Verification: V2 PASS — checks.doctor VM test green (fresh build, exit 0;
asserts the hibernate row renders, healthy run stays 0). V1 — ran on real
LUKS+@swap hardware: all three ok rows render (resume set, swap 34G >= RAM,
zram 16G) and the sheet reaches its verdict. V0 bash -n + flake check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

First slice of BACKLOG #76 (hibernation + zram, split): zramSwap on by
default in modules/nixos/oom.nix — the memory-pressure layer before
earlyoom. zstd @ 50% RAM (nixpkgs defaults, explicit for reproducibility),
priority 100 so day-to-day paging fills zram first and any disk swapfile
stays reserved for #76's hibernate image (hibernation can't resume from
volatile zram). Follows the earlyoom mkDefault precedent — no toggle.
Adds checks.zram-swap runNixOSTest importing oom.nix, asserting the device
is an active swap, uses [zstd], and carries priority 100.
Verified: V2 checks.zram-swap PASS (/dev/zram0 in /proc/swaps, zstd,
prio 100); V1 full distro toplevel builds; V0 flake check --no-build green.
#76 remainder (disk swapfile default + resume + installer) still open.

Extract nomarchy-pull/rebuild/home to pkgs/nomarchy-lifecycle; install
via system + home. Home profile wins on PATH so home-manager switch
installs the fixed pull (skip git when no upstream) without waiting
for a system rebuild that needed a working pull first.
V0: flake check --no-build green.
Package the installer’s pure hardware-db probe as nomarchy-detect-hw:
prints suggested hardwareProfile and system.nix snippets (or --raw
protocol lines). Does not rewrite the flake. On PATH via the distro
module; docs/HARDWARE.md §8 updated. Close#58.
Verified: V1 (build + run on AMD laptop with fingerprint/NPU/IR cam).
#54: permanent checks.installer-safety; test-install-safety harness with
offline compose-fail, LUKS-signature disk warn, and HM-hint FORCE paths.
#33: enable themed rofi scrollbars (generated + all whole-swap .rasi).
#43: MOTD + first-boot tip for System › Firmware (V3 LVFS stays hw-queue).
V2: compose-fail/disk-warn/hm-hint logs green offline; theme-shot
boreal+summer-night menus OK. V0 flake/installer-safety.
Extend checks.doctor: the bare test VM lacks every probe tool, so the
healthy nomarchy-doctor run drives all six hardware checks in skip mode.
Assert the self-gated skip rows appear (NetworkManager, fingerprint,
fwupd, VA-API) and the sheet still exits 0 — proving the section runs
without erroring under set -euo pipefail. No node changes.
Verified V2: nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.doctor passes. Closes#44.

#50: Bluetooth menu row + handler self-gate on `command -v
blueman-manager` (no-op when bluetooth is off, like Printers); Control
Center rollback list /tmp/nomarchy-gens → mktemp; usbutils on the
nomarchy-install PATH (fingerprint lsusb probe); export
nomarchy-doctor/control-center/battery-notify as flake packages.
Verified V0 (flake check) + V1 (packages, installer, HM generation build).
Also records #46: the swap=0 + unattended-LUKS fail-closed contracts
(208b8d4) V2-verified via a headless two-variant install — fail-closed
exits before wipe with the disk blank; swap=0 installs with no @swap
subvol and boots to a themed desktop. Both items removed from NEXT.

Four new no-VM checks.* + CI py_compile expansion:
- hardware-db-modules: installer DB module names ∈ pinned
nixos-hardware.nixosModules (a lock bump can rename a module and break
profiled installs on just the matching DMI, invisible to any VM).
- installer-compose-lock: offline lock-composer contract on fixtures.
- installer-disko: pure Nix assert — swapSize "0"/"0G" → no @swap, "2G"
→ sized, withLuks wraps root (permanently guards the #46 install fix).
- windowrule-syntax: builds the generated hyprland.conf and fails on the
pre-0.53 grammar / windowrulev2 keyword (guards ed7fd93).
CI py_compile now covers all tracked *.py; docs/TESTING.md §1 synced.
Implemented by a worktree agent; diff reviewed. Verified V0 (flake check)
+ V1 (each checks.x86_64-linux.* built on main, exit 0); agent's negative
tests confirm each guard fails on a regression.

Added toggles for updates, battery limit, bluetooth, and printing to the Control Center. Wired default values to read from theme-state.json settings. Verified: V1.
A display profile can now pin workspaces to outputs:
docked = {
monitors = [ … ];
workspaces = { "1" = "DP-3"; "9" = "eDP-1"; };
};
The bare list-of-monitors shape still works (either-type; hyprland.nix
normalizes — coercedTo refuses list-of-submodule sources). Pins bake as
Hyprland `workspace` rules from the active profile and apply instantly
on `nomarchy-display-profile apply`: keyword sets the session rule,
moveworkspacetomonitor moves open workspaces over. Pins from a
previously applied profile linger in-session until reload/rebuild
(hyprctl can only add) — inert if the output is absent, noted in the
applier.
V1: flake check green (checks.display-profiles now asserts
workspaceRule) + scratch-downstream eval: baked settings carry both
rule sets, the generated applier has the keyword+dispatch pairs
(bash -n), match/list correct with mixed shapes. V3 queued in
HARDWARE-QUEUE (rides the dock test). Item 15 complete — deleted.

nomarchy.displayProfiles: named layouts for the same outputs, each a
list of nomarchy.monitors-style entries. The active profile lives in
the in-flake state (settings.displayProfile) on the night-light
pattern: nomarchy-display-profile apply <name> fires the baked hyprctl
rules instantly and writes the state with --no-switch; the next rebuild
bakes the profile's entries over nomarchy.monitors whole-by-name.
Monitor-rule composition is extracted to pure monitor-rules.nix
(renderer + 3-layer resolve, incl. a disable-guard so a stale menu
resolution pick can't resurrect a profile-disabled panel, and junk
state degrading to base config instead of an eval error) — because a
writeText/toFile state fixture is unreadable at flake-check eval time,
the new checks.display-profiles unit-tests the pure function directly.
Menu: System › Display gains a self-gated "Profiles ›" row (●/○ active
mark, Base layout to clear); commented template example + README row.
Verified: V0 (flake check, forcing the new check's asserts); V1 — a
scratch downstream through lib.mkFlake builds: the generated tool
passes bash -n with correct rules (disable/vrr/float scale), the baked
hyprland.conf shows the exact expected overlay, the menu renders, and
list/usage smoke-test clean. Remains: V3 live switching on a dock
(HARDWARE-QUEUE). Slices b (hotplug auto-switch) + c (workspace
binding) stay in item 15.

The bar colored the battery at 25/10% but nothing notified. New
shellcheck-gated watcher (pkgs/nomarchy-battery-notify, overlay) polls
the same sysfs the bar reads — type=Battery, scope!=Device — and fires
one toast per downward crossing (normal at 25%, critical at 10%; swaync
keeps critical up until dismissed), re-armed by charging. Self-gates on
battery presence (the powerprofile pattern), so desktops get a silent
no-op. HM user unit behind nomarchy.batteryNotify.enable (default on)
with libnotify on the unit PATH; notify-send resolves from PATH so the
VM check can shim it. poweralertd rejected: its UPower thresholds
(20/5) wouldn't match the bar, and it toasts every plug/unplug.
Verified: V0 (flake check, bash -n); V1 (template-home builds, unit in
the generation); V2 GREEN (new checks.battery-notify, test_power fake
battery: self-gate, silence at 80%, one toast per crossing, critical
urgency, charging re-arms). Remains: V3 — real swaync toast on a
draining laptop (HARDWARE-QUEUE).

'Never has to master Nix' includes the error messages. The tool grows
validate_state (appearance schema = hard errors; settings.* and
unknown keys = warnings so menu writers and newer schemas keep
working), a read-only `validate` subcommand, and validation BEFORE
every write — an invalid set/apply is refused with the on-disk file
untouched. JSON syntax errors now say line, column, and fix. theme.nix
enforces the same schema at eval time (on the post-defaults state, so
sparse/older files still evaluate) and throws a message naming each
field, its got-value, and the fix paths — the hand-edit escape hatch
no longer ends in a Nix stack trace. Doctor's JSON fix-text points at
validate.
V1: new checks.theme-sync-validate fixture corpus green (good state,
trailing comma, bad hex, bad type, unknown key, refused set with
byte-identical file); negative mkFlake eval of a broken scratch
downstream shows the friendly throw; good-path template-home builds.

The things that actually break user machines, one command (and menu ›
System › Doctor): failed system/user units, disk space (real
filesystems only — fstype allowlist makes it VM/live safe, device
dedupe collapses / and /nix), theme-state.json parses + is
git-tracked, flake dirty/behind as warnings, generation age (profile
symlink mtime — store paths are epoch-1), snapper timeline when
enabled. Read-only by contract; every ✖ prints the one fixing command;
exit 1 on any problem. Ships as pkgs/nomarchy-doctor so the VM check
runs on a minimal node.
Verified: V1 package build (shellcheck-gated) + a real-hardware smoke
that correctly flagged a genuinely failed user unit on the dev box;
V2 green — checks.doctor VM test: induced failed unit flips the sheet
to exit-1 naming the unit and its fix, reset-failed returns healthy.

Slice (a) of the docs review: 9 undocumented nomarchy.* options got
README rows or inline .leaf mentions (autoTimezone, camera IR-hide,
intel.guc, amd.pstate/vaapi, package, system.stateFile, restic.paths).
The diff is now a flake check: option names are eval-walked from the
four option-declaring modules (config halves stay lazy) and compared
to the tables by tools/check-option-docs.py — undocumented options and
stale table rows both fail. Negative-tested against the pre-fix README
(reports exactly the 9 gaps). Item 6 split into slices a–d in BACKLOG.

Palette roles aren't uniform: summer-day and flexoki-light use subtext
as text-ON-surface (== base) and surface as a dark chip (== text), so
swaync's @subtext-on-@base body text and @surface/@text buttons were
self-colored (caught on the Latitude).
- body/summary: @text on @base — the one text pairing that passes in
every palette (survey: worst WCAG ratio 5.18 across all 21 themes;
subtext/base bottomed at 1.00 twice, muted/base at 1.27).
- hover rows + widget-title buttons: alpha(@text, 0.1) tints —
contrast by construction; subtext/surface defines dropped.
- NEW checks.theme-contrast (tools/check-theme-contrast.py): asserts
the hex-on-hex text pairings across themes/*.json, cheap (no VM).
The audit also found the generated waybar/rofi CSS shares the bug
class, live on flexoki-light (no whole-swap) → BACKLOG item 27.
Verified: V0; V1 (checks.theme-contrast builds green, 21 themes;
rendered services.swaync.style has zero @subtext/@surface). Honesty:
NOT visually verified — V3 queued (notify-send on summer-day).

Re-diagnosis of the "btrfs-assistant 2.2 segfaults on launch" bug, and
the fix is not the planned nixpkgs override:
1. gdb: the crash is btrfs_util_subvolume_iterator_next() —
libbtrfsutil's UNPRIVILEGED subvolume-iteration path in btrfs-progs
6.17.1 (upstream-fixed after 6.17.1, kdave/btrfs-progs 886571653).
Symbol versions were checked and match: not ABI/link drift.
2. VM A/B on real btrfs: as root it works (exit 0); as a user it
segfaults (139). The pkexec launcher runs it as root — so the GUI
path was fine all along, except…
3. …the distro shipped NO polkit authentication agent: every pkexec
prompt in the session failed silently. That is the actual root
cause of "the GUI doesn't open".
Shipped: hyprpolkitagent (Hyprland's Qt agent — the prompt is
Stylix-themed) via exec-once in hyprland.nix; `nomarchy-menu snapshot`
prefers btrfs-assistant-launcher again, with the nomarchy-snapshots
fzf flow kept as fallback (and for SSH); checks.snapshot-gui guards
the root path + offscreen GUI event loop on a real btrfs volume so a
lock bump can't silently regress it. No btrfs-progs patch: all our
flows are root-side; the unprivileged fix arrives with a lock bump.
Verified: V0 (flake check) + V2 (snapshot-gui check, executed green) +
V1 (HM generation builds; hyprland.conf carries the agent exec-once;

modules/nixos/oom.nix — running out of memory now kills the offending
process (with a desktop notification via systembus-notify) instead of
freezing the desktop for minutes until the kernel OOM killer fires.
earlyoom over systemd-oomd, deliberately: oomd kills whole cgroups,
and a Hyprland session runs as ONE scope (nothing here spawns per-app
systemd scopes, unlike GNOME) — under pressure oomd would take out the
entire desktop to save it. earlyoom kills the single largest process
before the thrash point. nixpkgs default-enables oomd in an inert
state (no slices monitored); it is disabled outright so there is one
owner. Session plumbing is --avoid-listed (unanchored — NixOS wrappers
rename comm to .foo-wrapped); no --prefer tuning, largest-RSS
selection already finds the hog. All mkDefault; opt out with
services.earlyoom.enable = false (README note added).
Verified: V0 (flake check) + V2 — new checks.oom-protection
runNixOSTest, executed: a chunked allocator (686 MB peak, 1 GB VM) is
SIGTERM'd by earlyoom in 0.1 s, a bystander unit survives (the
process-level granularity the module exists for), and systemd-oomd is
asserted inactive. 25 s runtime.

Completes the remaining "Distro branding, round 2" work.
GRUB theme: hosts/live.nix builds nomarchyGrubTheme whose background is
the same composed splash as the isolinux/BIOS splash (accent logo on
base), with a palette-coloured boot menu and accent timeout bar. Derived
from nixos-grub2-theme only to reuse its bundled DejaVu .pf2; the stock
NixOS logo is dropped (ours is in the background). Wired as
isoImage.grubTheme so UEFI boot matches BIOS.
distroId: set system.nixos.distroId = "nomarchy" so os-release is honest
(ID=nomarchy, ID_LIKE=nixos). Safe — switch-to-configuration builds its
"is this NixOS?" guard from the configured distroId (and /etc/NIXOS is
the fallback), so rebuilds keep working. isNixos→false blanks the
nixos.org URLs, so extraOSReleaseArgs restores them to the project.
Adds checks.distro-id (runNixOSTest): boots distroId=nomarchy and runs
switch-to-configuration dry-activate green; os-release eval-verified from
the real downstream config; grub theme built + structure-verified.

Add checks.battery-charge-limit (runNixOSTest): the test_power module
fakes a Mains adapter, toggling ac_online emits a real power_supply
uevent, and the test asserts the udev rule restarts the oneshot (changed
InvocationID). Verifies the re-apply *trigger* at runtime, beyond the
earlier eval check; the sysfs write still needs real hardware. Also
records the SSH_AUTH_SOCK rendered-artifact verification in the roadmap.

Harden the hardware-enablement broad seed for newer hardware:
- xe vs i915: intel.guc emits the i915 param (i915.enable_guc=3), which the
newer `xe` driver (Lunar Lake / Battlemage / Panther Lake, recent Xe GPUs)
ignores — it enables GuC by default. hardware-db.sh now reads the in-use
GPU driver (lspci -k) and writes `intel.guc = false` on xe hardware, so the
toggle isn't a misleading no-op there.
- NPU detection by PCI accelerator class [1200] (+ keywords), attributing the
vendor, instead of a fixed device-ID list — so new NPUs (e.g. Panther Lake)
are caught without a code change. Known IDs kept as a fallback/reference.
- Kernel awareness: a nomarchy.hardware.latestKernel escape hatch
(linuxPackages_latest) for very-new hardware whose drivers only just landed,
and a build-time warning when npu.enable predates the shipped kernel
(amdxdna needs 6.14+, intel_vpu wants recent). Downstream default is 6.18,
which already carries amd-pstate + amdxdna; the reference host pins latest.
- VM test (checks.hardware-toggles, pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest): boots a
minimal VM with the toggles on and asserts the config landed — amd_pstate
+ i915.enable_guc in /proc/cmdline, fprintd.service present, pam_fprintd in
/etc/pam.d/sudo. Passing. (Hardware behaviour still needs bare metal.)
Docs: README + template note latestKernel; ROADMAP records the hardening.

Document the main=dev / v1=release-pointer model in flake.nix (where the
v1 ref is defined) and mark the repo-sanitize roadmap items shipped
(installer prune, option-table reconcile, settings untrack, branch
realignment).

console.useXkbConfig and boot.initrd.systemd.enable are set distro-wide
(lib.mkDefault true in modules/nixos/default.nix, since the LUKS-keymap
fix), so the installer rewriting them in the generated system.nix was
redundant. Drop them there and from the offline-pin test fixture in
flake.nix — the nomarchy module still defaults them on, so the closure
(and the pin set) is unchanged; verified the values still resolve true
and `nix flake check` passes. Only the machine-specific xkb layout is
written now. Adjusts the README keyboard-option wording to match.

- Plymouth boot splash ported from the legacy branch (modules/nixos/
plymouth/): logo + eased progress + LUKS entry, background tinted from
theme-state.json via the new nomarchy.system.stateFile (wired by
mkFlake/lib.nix; null → Tokyo Night fallback). Default on; OFF on the
live ISO (boot-message visibility on the install medium). Pulls
boot.initrd.systemd, which also drives the keyboard-at-LUKS feature.
- system.nixos.distroName = "Nomarchy" (os-release PRETTY_NAME,
systemd-boot entries, ISO menu label). distroId left "nixos" (feeds
DEFAULT_HOSTNAME + upstream isNixos checks — roadmapped).
- nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree distro-wide (here + both import-nixpkgs
sites) — unblocks claude-code for the menu's ask-Claude module.
- systemd-boot.configurationLimit = 10 so entries don't fill the ESP.
- Live ISO: nomarchy.idle.enable = false — hypridle was suspending the
VM mid-install (the install-hung regression); installed systems keep it.
- flake.nix offline pins (verified 0-leak via a foreign-identity
gap-analysis probe): the repo's own standalone HM gen + inputDerivations,
mustache-go + stdenv (stylix re-renders base16 per switch), microcode-amd/
intel (enableRedistributableFirmware activated updateMicrocode →
source-build cascade), buildEnv's builder.pl, findXMLCatalogs, and the
representativeInstall mirror (xkb/initrd-systemd/microcode).

nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree in the system module (covers the live ISO
via useGlobalPkgs and every mkFlake machine) plus the two explicit
`import nixpkgs` sites (repo + lib.nix) so the standalone HM desktop
sees the same package set. Unblocks claude-code for the menu system's
ask-Claude module, vendor drivers, etc. Opt out with
`nixpkgs.config = lib.mkForce { allowUnfree = false; }`.

Roadmap items 1+2 plus the issues found testing on a Latitude 5410:
- Ship the 10 most popular Nerd Fonts by default (iosevka swapped for
mononoki: 1.1 GB vs 27 MB) and warn from nomarchy-theme-sync when a
configured fonts.mono/fonts.ui family isn't installed (fc-match) —
fontconfig substitutes silently otherwise.
- hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware: installed systems shipped NO
firmware blobs (wifi/SOF audio/BT) — nixos-generate-config only emits
microcode lines referencing this flag, it never sets it.
- Live ISO wifi: networking.wireless.enable = mkForce false killed
NetworkManager's supplicant — since 26.05 the NM module drives its
wifi backend THROUGH networking.wireless (dbusControlled). Devices
vanished from nmtui with iwlwifi loaded and no rfkill block.
- Hyprland 0.55: launch sessions via start-hyprland (watchdog; bare
binary warns), add the new gesture keyword (workspace_swipe is gone —
touchpads had no gestures at all), media keys via wpctl/bindel/bindl
plus the missing mic/play/next/prev binds.
- Offline theme switching: pin mustache-go + stdenv + the repo's own
standalone HM generation (incl. home-files inputDerivation) into the
ISO — stylix re-renders base16 templates per switch and an offline
`apply` cascaded into building stdenv from source (1107 drvs).
Verified with tools/vm/gap-analysis.py: 17 config drvs, zero fetches.
- Stylix: track release-26.05 (kills the HM version-skew warning and
the stale home-manager follows), lock updated.
- Roadmap: swaync (no notification daemon ships today).

Installed machines and the downstream template now resolve nomarchy from
git+https://git.bemagri.xyz/bernardo/nomarchy.git?ref=v1 (the lock's
original node carries the ref too), so `nix flake update` follows the
release branch instead of the forge's default branch. README quickstart
points at the real forge.
