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.

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.

The indicator answers "which layout am I typing in?", so it is worth bar
space exactly when that question has more than one answer. It was gated on a
per-device override merely *existing*, which is the trap this box walked
into: the junk rows a keyboard's extra HID collections leave behind are all
remembered at the session layout, so they added no second answer and still
raised an indicator that could only ever show one value.
Gate on layouts rather than devices, and read the runtime-remembered
settings.keyboard.devices alongside the declared option — the new-keyboard
watcher writes those without a rebuild and they only graduate into
keyboard.devices later, so a bar reading the option alone was wrong for
exactly as long as the memory was fresh, which is when it matters most.
keyboard.layouts is now excluded on purpose: hyprland.nix keeps it as the
pool the picker offers first and deliberately never merges it into kb_layout,
so listing candidates cannot make the current layout ambiguous. A device
actually using one of them still does.
All four whole-swaps list the module unconditionally, so a single-layout
setup saw on a swapped bar what the generated bar hides — the parity rule was
already broken. Filter a swap through the same answer instead of asking four
hand-written files to re-derive it.
Logic is pure in modules/home/waybar-language.nix, matching monitor-rules /
dock-audio-rules; checks.waybar-language unit-tests both halves against
boreal's real swap, including a fixture-drift guard so the parity assertion
cannot pass vacuously.
Verified V2: new check passes, docking-ux and theme-wholeswap still pass,
`nix flake check` is clean, and the live config's generated bar now resolves
modules-right without hyprland/language on its single-layout default.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).

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.

EasyEffects 8 publishes SNI IconName com.github.wwmm.easyeffects, which
Papirus renders as its full-colour blue equaliser — the one splash of
colour in an otherwise monochrome Waybar tray (nm-applet, udiskie & co
resolve to Papirus symbolics).
Fix at the shared icon-theme layer so it holds for ALL themes at once:
wrap the resolved icon set in a thin child theme, Nomarchy-icons, that
Inherits it and ships a palette-coloured monochrome easyeffects glyph
(the app's own -symbolic shape, filled with the theme's colour —
the same hue as the bar's glyphs, so it tracks every theme/mode on
switch). The child becomes the session icon theme; a scalable override
out-resolves the parent's fixed-size icon at every requested size, while
every other icon still falls through to the parent unchanged.
Since iconTheme feeds both stylix (GTK) and rofi, wrapping it once here
covers generated and whole-swap themes with no per-theme files. Adding a
future offender is one more SVG in scalable/apps.
Mechanism validated by GTK IconTheme lookup (override wins at 16/22/24/
32px; udiskie/nm/folder icons still resolve from Papirus). Icon pkg
builds; fill=#D3DAE0, Inherits=Papirus-Dark under Boreal.

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

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

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

GTK's -gtk-recolor proved too fragile across different contexts, failing
to substitute the foreground color even when the SVG path used #000000.
Instead, we now generate two statically colored SVGs (normal + hover)
directly from the Nix palette hex codes, bypassing GTK's SVG recoloring
engine entirely.
GTK's -gtk-recolor requires the explicit string #000000 inside the SVG
to correctly substitute the foreground color. Without it, the shape defaults
to a hard un-recolorable black, which remained invisible against the dark
popover menu backgrounds. Added viewBox for robustness.
The tray-race guard (wwmm/easyeffects#4636) ordered the unit
After=waybar.service — inert here: Nomarchy's waybar runs from the
nomarchy-waybar supervisor (Hyprland exec-once), never as a systemd
unit, so the icon vanished whenever easyeffects won the boot race
(seen on TuringMachine 2026-07-11). Gate ExecStartPre on the SNI
watcher's IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered with a 30s timeout, non-fatal
so audio processing still starts on tray-less setups.
Also: #89 inventory narrowed by Bernardo's visual verdict — Telegram/
ZapZap fine; offenders are EasyEffects (slice 2) and Signal (slice 3).

home-manager 26.05 changes the default to false and warns on every
eval when home.stateVersion is older (every migrated machine). Pin the
legacy true: scripts and non-glib apps read the XDG_*_DIR session vars,
and an explicit value gives all downstreams identical behavior
regardless of stateVersion. mkDefault so a downstream can still opt out.

05bab55's menu fix pointed -gtk-icon-source at the icon theme, but
Papirus doesn't ship pan-end-symbolic and its inheritance chain
(breeze-dark → hicolor) has no provider installed, so GTK menu submenu
arrows rendered as nothing (nm-applet: no cue that 'VPN Connections'
opens a submenu). Bundle the triangle as a store-path SVG recolored
via -gtk-recolor(url(…)) — the same mechanism adw-gtk3 uses for its
own check-mark assets, immune to icon-pack coverage.

With a charge cap, AC-plugged inside the hysteresis band (power.nix:
start = cap − 10) reports 'Not charging' — indistinguishable from a
broken charger without a hint. tooltip-format-plugged now says the cap
is holding the level and how charging resumes. No cap value baked: the
menu changes it live without a rebuild.
Whole-swap parity: the same tooltip added to all four theme
waybar.jsonc files (boreal/executive-slate/summer-day/summer-night) —
the generated config is bypassed under these themes.
Verified on hardware (TuringMachine, boreal theme, cap 80, battery 71%

deploys the boreal config with the tooltip; battery currently in the

rofi hard-fails on a duplicate keybinding and reports it in a GUI error
dialog, not stderr — so 05bab55's Left=Back killed every menu entry
point on a real session while passing all stubbed tests. Rebind
kb-move-char-back to Control+b in both rofi_menu copies (menu + vpn).
V3 on the migrated T14s: error dialog reproduced with old flags, menu
renders with fixed flags. Journal + two PROPOSED pitches (EasyEffects 8
tray icon, parallel fingerprint/password PAM).

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.
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.
Launch nomarchy-doctor via ghostty --class=com.nomarchy.doctor (same
pattern as the calendar popup) and match float/size/center windowrules
so System › Doctor and the Waybar doctor click no longer tile.
Verified: V1 — downstream-template-home builds; menu carries the class;
hyprland.conf has float/size/center for com.nomarchy.doctor;
windowrule-syntax green (19 rules). V2 live float confirm after
nomarchy-home (same class mechanism as calendar).
"Warm on schedule" was wrong in geo mode — the schedule is computed
from lat/long. Tooltip now reads "follows your location" when geo is
active.
Verification: V1 — rode the same flake check + template-home build as
the exit-node commit.

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
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).

Two low-severity edge bugs from a fresh-eyes review of the session batch:
- cmd_auto: an inverted schedule (sunrise > sunset, i.e. a day window that
crosses midnight) stayed perpetually on the day theme — the old
`not between` shortcut is an empty interval when sunrise > sunset.
Replaced with a real wrap-around: daytime = mins >= sunrise or
mins < sunset, so both directions switch. Normal sunrise < sunset path
is unchanged (checks.auto-theme still holds).
- rofi autotheme HH:MM validator: `[0-2][0-9]` accepted 24:00–29:59.
Tightened the case pattern to `[01][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]|2[0-3]:[0-5][0-9]`
so out-of-range hours are rejected (they'd otherwise skew the boundary).
(Two other review findings dismissed: papirus DOES ship breeze/breeze-dark
so that iconPacks prefix is correct; the doctor RAM-unknown row is cosmetic
since /proc/meminfo is always readable.)
Verification: py_compile; boundary truth-table (normal + wrap-around);
HH:MM case table (23:00/19:59/20:00 accept, 24/25/30:00 reject); auto
--which normal-case unchanged; menu bash -n; flake check green.

Adds an "Auto theme (on/off)" row to Look & Feel and an `autotheme`
submenu: toggle the feature, pick the day/night themes (from
`nomarchy-theme-sync list`), and set the sunrise/sunset times (HH:MM,
validated). This is the menu surface over settings.autoTheme, completing
the auto time-of-day theme feature (slices: CLI / timer / menu).
Enabling writes the flag and defaults the summer-day/summer-night pair
--no-switch, then runs `auto --force`, so a single rebuild both installs
the timer and applies the correct theme for now. Disabling is instant
(--no-switch): the flag flips and `auto` self-gates, so the lingering
timer no-ops until the next rebuild. Day/night/time writes are live
--no-switch (read by `auto` at tick time).
Verification: V1 — HM generation builds (bash -n on nomarchy-menu at
build) + bash -n on the built menu. Logic test with stubbed
rofi/theme-sync/notify: selecting the toggle from off runs exactly `set
day/night/enable ... --no-switch` then `auto --force` — the intended
one-rebuild path. V0 flake check green. All three #79 slices shipped;
the live timer switch across sunset is a real-session (V3) check on a
Nomarchy machine.

modules/home/autotheme.nix installs a user service + timer
(nomarchy-auto-theme) that periodically runs `nomarchy-theme-sync auto`,
so the day/night theme is applied on the current schedule through the
same one engine. Install gates on settings.autoTheme.enable (read from
state, the way updates.nix gates on its enable), so a machine not using
the feature carries no timer.
Timer: OnStartupSec=1min (settle after login) + OnCalendar=*:0/15 +
Persistent (catch a transition missed while off). Periodic rather than
exact sunrise/sunset timers — robust to suspend/DST, and `auto` is
idempotent (no rebuild unless the theme must change) so ticks are cheap.
Verification: V1 — real-config eval (state temporarily enabled, then
restored) confirms the units land when enabled (OnCalendar *:0/15,
ExecStart `... nomarchy-theme-sync auto`) and are absent when disabled;
systemd-analyze validates the schedule. V0 flake check green. The live
timer -> home-manager switch on a real Nomarchy session is pending a
Nomarchy machine (same blocker as #76).

theme.nix now resolves nomarchy.theme.iconThemePackage from a small
icon-pack registry (Papirus/Tela/Qogir/Reversal/Numix, matched by name
prefix). Default themes name Papirus-*, so the resolved package is the
plain papirus-icon-theme derivation — byte-identical closure, zero added
MB. Only when a theme's `icons` names a set from another pack is that
pack (and only it) symlinkJoined alongside papirus. stylix.nix consumes
it via mkDefault. Adding a pack is one iconPacks row.
Deliberately NOT shipping more packs by default: papirus alone is already
~1 GiB and each extra pack adds ~hundreds of MB, so variety is opt-in per
install (set `icons` in theme-state.json), not a default closure cost.
Documented in templates/downstream/home.nix + ROADMAP § Icon themes.
Verification: V1 (HM activationPackage builds). Eval proofs — default
resolves to plain papirus (zero delta); icons="Tela-dark" ->
nomarchy-icon-themes symlinkJoin (papirus+tela) with the name flowing,
without building tela; all 5 pack attrs exist in the pinned nixpkgs;
template-sot + option-docs + flake check green. No default visual change
(same papirus), so no screenshot; the opt-in render is downstream.

Per the settled #76 UX call: keep the Power-menu Hibernate row
unconditional, but when hibernate fails (typically a swap=0 machine with
no disk swap), surface a notification pointing at the enable-hibernation
runbook instead of a silent no-op. On success `systemctl hibernate`
blocks until resume, so the notify only fires on a real failure.
Verification: V1 — homeConfigurations.nomarchy.activationPackage builds
(rebuilds nomarchy-menu; writeShellScriptBin runs bash -n). Control-flow
proved on the arm extracted from the built script: failing systemctl ->
notify fires, succeeding -> no notify. flake check --no-build green.
V2 hibernate->resume VM test + V3 laptop remain open (#76 slice 3).

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.
charge_control_end_threshold was written (80) but charge_types stayed
[Adaptive], which ignores the cap while still reporting it — battery
kept charging past 80% on Latitude. Oneshot now selects Custom when a
limit is set, Adaptive/Standard when off; sets start hysteresis; doctor
warns if type ≠ Custom while limited.
V0: flake check --no-build green. V3: re-apply limit, confirm
charge_types shows [Custom] and status stops Charging above cap.
Class xdg-desktop-portal-gtk (+ Nix .…-wrapped) from package desktop/
libexec. Polkit already V3 PASS on Latitude. NEXT only #20 remains.
V0: flake check --no-build green.
Two bare `{:%…}` specs emptied the hover tooltip (box with no text).
One strftime block with an embedded newline shows date + zone; ensure
tooltip label colors on generated + summer bars.
Machine flakes often have no remote (local auto-commits only). Distro
updates come from nix flake update of the nomarchy input. Only git pull
--ff-only when @{u} is set; always update the lock; print nomarchy rev.
