features/apps/chromium/default.nix was deploying a 204-byte static
Default/Preferences via Home Manager symlink into Chromium's mutable
profile directory. The deployment is structurally broken — Chromium
expects to write that file at runtime, so either the symlink is
silently replaced on first save (losing the static defaults) or the
write fails silently.
The contents are also redundant + incorrect:
- `extensions.theme.{use_system,use_custom} = false` — already
superseded by the managed-policy approach (BrowserThemeColor
overrides any user-installed theme extension regardless).
- `browser.theme.{color_scheme,user_color} = 2` — hardcoded "dark"
via Chromium's color_scheme enum, conflicting with the dynamic
BrowserColorScheme = isLightTheme ? "light" : "dark" set by
core/system/browser.nix. A user on flexoki-light / summer-day /
catppuccin-latte / rose-pine / white would have had a static-vs-
policy mismatch every time.
Removed the entire features/apps/chromium/ directory (default.nix +
config/Default/Preferences) and dropped the import from
features/default.nix. Chromium theming continues to flow through the
system-level managed policy, which is the canonical chromium-on-NixOS
path.
`nix flake check --no-build` clean.
`features/default.nix` had a let-block that read
`~/.config/home-manager/user-packages.json` at eval time via
`builtins.pathExists` + `builtins.readFile`, parsed it as JSON, and
filtered to valid pkgs — then never appended the result to
`home.packages` or anywhere else. The `userPackages` variable was
completely orphan.
Two problems with the dead code: (1) it was an undocumented hidden
mechanism (no docs mentioned `user-packages.json`), (2) it made flake
evaluation impurely depend on a user's home directory for no payoff —
flake outputs would silently differ between machines depending on the
presence of that file, even though nothing in the build used it.
Removed the let-block entirely. The nomarchyLib import stays.
Found during Pillar 8 audit of features/apps.
- installer: set recursive ownership of /etc/nixos to main user post-install
- themes: fix NOMARCHY_PATH and discovery logic for Lua theme menu
- scripts: update CLI wrappers (font, theme, wallpaper) to use Walker menus
- core: remove obsolete NOMARCHY_PATH and cleanup dead code
- features: add pkgs.lua for Walker and remove obsolete switcher.nix
- docs: update ROADMAP.md, SCRIPTS.md and STRUCTURE.md
- Migrate VM and graphical ISO to home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager;
drop the standalone-HM sudo-based activation script (ran HM against
/root because HOME wasn't reset) in flake.nix, core/system/vm-guest.nix,
hosts/live-iso.nix.
- Run swaybg as nomarchy-wallpaper.service instead of a silent Hyprland
exec-once so failures surface in systemctl.
- Skip the battery monitor unit on hosts without /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*
(VMs, desktops).
- Don't wrap walker --dmenu in uwsm-app; redirect setsid background std-fds
in nomarchy-launch-walker so $(menu ...) in nomarchy-menu doesn't hang.
- Restart waybar/walker via systemctl --user rather than pkill + uwsm-app
to stop the post-theme-switch color race.
- Wire nomarchy-restart-walker/-waybar into nomarchy-theme-set so themes
that only change the imported CSS reload correctly.
- Waybar: pin #custom-nomarchy to the Nomarchy font and use the U+F000
codepoint so the logo shows across all themes.
- Auto-install the correct icon-theme package per palette via a new
nomarchyLib.iconThemePackage helper in lib/default.nix; Everforest now
actually renders for summer-night.
- Pre-cache every theme's HM generation: new packages.allThemeVariants
flake output and nomarchy-themes-prebuild script so theme switches are
cache-only (no Stylix rebuild, no downloads).
- Add nomarchy-test-live-iso to boot the graphical ISO in QEMU the same
way nomarchy-test-vm does, with virtio-gpu support added to live-iso.nix.
- Installer-generated home.nix/system.nix now ship a curated, commented
app menu (btop/fastfetch/chromium on by default) plus optional system
services (Docker, libvirtd, Tailscale, Syncthing, Flatpak, Steam).
- nomarchy-test-vm now wipes the stale nomarchy.qcow2 before launch.
- Remove obsolete GEMINI.md and PLAN.md.
