Completes the three dark/light pairs for v1 (batch: 0ba1762, e51c8a7).
Kiln is a potter's workshop at night, lit only by the kiln: warm
near-black (#1D1815), copper accent (#D68C5C, 6.5:1), brass accentAlt,
CaskaydiaCove, rounding 8. Kiln Clay is the same studio at midday:
cream plaster (#F4EDE3), espresso text (11.1:1 AAA), fired-copper
accent (#A34F1F, 4.89:1), brick-red bad. Both waybars are a NEW
whole-swap identity — 'the workbench': ONE continuous floating plank
(window#waybar carries the surface, modules transparent) — deliberately
distinct from boreal's three pills and slate's edge-to-edge strip;
module set verbatim-parity with the generated config. Matched rofi,
btop themes. The wallpapers share identical ring geometry — banked-coal
heat rings at night, terracotta glaze rings at noon — so the autoTheme
flip visibly rhymes.
Sync sweep in this commit (LOOP §5): README 24->28 presets + the
whole-swap list now names the three pairs; CONVENTIONS waybar parity
list gains the four new slugs; OVERRIDES autoTheme table points at the
pairs; HARDWARE-QUEUE gains the batch V3 entry (real-GL blur, btop
visual, launcher grid, tray menus, pair flip); BACKLOG files #153
(PROPOSED: per-theme desktop widgets — the conky idea, engine spike
needed, not v1).
Verification: V2. Full targeted set green on the final tree:
theme-contrast, theme-wholeswap (previews + backgrounds + CSS
self-containment), waybar-language, waybar-swap-env, rofi-text-width,
state-sync-validate, auto-theme VM; nix flake check --no-build green.
Visual protocol: theme-shot VM desktop + menu viewed for BOTH themes
(plank renders as one island, copper/terracotta semantics, legible
menus; /nix/store/2fizd945...theme-shot-kiln and
/nix/store/0126yd48...theme-shot-kiln-clay). audit-theme-design:
CVD-only findings (≤ executive-slate's own baseline); ANSI slots
in-family after the magenta retune. V3 pending: HARDWARE-QUEUE entry
above. btop visual is VM-blocked (GL terminal never starts under
softGL) — file-level assertions only, listed for hardware.
Design + wallpapers on Fable; assets by a Sonnet subagent to a written
identity spec; reviewed on Fable.

The split line is consumption time: palette JSONs, previews and
per-theme overrides are read at Nix eval and stay in-repo (~3 MB);
wallpapers are runtime-only (swww via nomarchy-state-sync, never read
at eval) and move to the pinned nomarchy-wallpapers non-flake input
(git.bemagri.xyz/bernardo/Nomarchy-Wallpapers @ 803b48d, all 24 slugs).
New overlay drv nomarchy-default-themes merges the two: repo themes
copied, <slug>/backgrounds symlinked from the input, build FAILS if any
theme JSON lacks non-empty backgrounds — the drift guard for the
two-repo dance. nomarchy-state-sync's wrapper now points straight at
the merged store path (no in-package copy): the package drops from
~94 MB to 32.6 KiB and the wallpapers source appears exactly once in
any system closure, ISO included — offline promise intact. Downstream
custom wallpapers still win ($NOMARCHY_PATH/themes is checked first),
and an explicit state.json wallpaper path still works.
checks re-pointed at the merged tree (theme-wholeswap,
state-sync-validate, auto-theme); theme-contrast and airplane stay on
./themes (JSON/text only). import-palettes.py + README updated;
ROADMAP § Faster switches marked shipped; LATER now carries only the
pre-built-variants follow-on. Also files #151 (v1 launch plan, [human])
with measured history numbers: the 107 MiB pack is 94 MB wallpaper
blobs; all 848 text commits pack to ~15-20 MiB — recommendation
recorded to filter-repo at the GitHub move, not fresh-start.
Verification: V2 — nix flake check --no-build green; theme-wholeswap,
state-sync-validate, auto-theme VM check, downstream-template-home all
green; wallpapers store path exactly once in the state-sync closure;
`list` works from a scratch state dir. V3 queued: live wallpaper render
+ bg-next + custom-override precedence after next pull (HARDWARE-QUEUE).
Lock gained exactly the one input node. Implementation by a Sonnet
subagent; design and review on Fable.

Three-way audit ahead of v1 (structure/necessity, docs-vs-code drift,
mechanical checkers) came back clean: zero dead files, zero doc hard
errors, all 92 options documented, all consistency checkers green, no
untracked files. What it did surface, fixed here:
- LICENSE was missing entirely — the one hard launch blocker. MIT
(Bernardo's call), pointer at the README foot.
- checks/ was the only top-level dir outside the documented layout rule;
its two state-legacy-name fixtures moved to tools/fixtures/ (Bernardo
chose move over documenting an exception), flake.nix refs + drift
messages updated.
- Doc staleness: two leftover "theme-state" leads (HARDWARE.md,
REQUIREMENTS.md) now say state.json; VISION Theme C charge-limit row
gets its ✓; VISION agent-slices datestamp bumped.
- The idle.nix miniTransition duplication (same binary name, lossy
subset of the real display-transition tool) is deliberately NOT
refactored here — filed as PROPOSED #150 with the audit evidence.
Wallpapers-in-repo (97 MB) is the known LATER artifact-split item, not
re-filed.
Verification: V0 — nix flake check --no-build green after the fixture
move (state-legacy-name's eval asserts exercise the new paths); doc
edits prose-reviewed. Audits by three Sonnet passes; triage on Fable.

Nomarchy now carries a nixpkgs-unstable input and exposes it through
overlays.default as an `unstable` attrset: in the template's
`home.packages = with pkgs; [ … ]` a user writes `unstable.lmstudio`
and is done. Downstream stays one locked input; nomarchy-pull moves it.
lib.nix needed zero changes — mkFlake's pkgs already applies the
overlay. The import is plain and non-recursive, so configs that never
reference unstable. pay nothing beyond the input fetch; allowUnfree
mirrors the base set so the motivating lmstudio resolves.
Home packages are the supported surface (documented convention). Costs
stated in the README, not hidden: you own the pinned+unstable
combination; a second toolchain lands in your closure (~690 of ~4k
paths shared, measured on lmstudio); it moves when the lock moves.
Lock bumps now move two channels — VERIFICATION §5 and CONVENTIONS
updated accordingly. flake.lock gained exactly one node
(nixos-unstable @ 753cc8a); nothing else moved.
Verification: V1 — nix flake check --no-build green; new eval-only
checks.unstable-seam green (26.05pre vs 26.11pre lib.version, no
builds); template HM activation built via mkFlake with unstable.hello
enabled and its closure carries the unstable store path (pg2zfr… vs
pinned nm7p8w…). Implementation by a Sonnet subagent; design and
review on Fable.

After the #81 "you're set" card, at most one additional "Hardware tips"
toast: a Firmware line when fwupdmgr is on PATH, a Fingerprint line when
fprintd-list is (VISION § B). One-shot marker settings.hardwareHintsShown,
in-checkout like firstBootShown. When no tooling matches, the marker is
deliberately left unset — the re-check costs a command -v per session,
and a later-enabled fwupd or newly-added reader still gets its hint once.
Never a permanent nag; live-ISO gate covers the new stage too.
Lives inside nomarchy-first-boot: the card's semantics are unchanged
(retry loop, exit 1 so a failed notify retries next login, marker only
after success); hints run only once the card has landed. Docs: README
option row, HARDWARE.md hint paragraphs, VISION § B checked off.
Verification: V2 — shellcheck clean, nix flake check --no-build green,
nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.first-boot green (bare node silent →
fwupdmgr appears → fires once → silent again → live-ISO still skips).
Real toast rendering is the same session surface as the proven #81 card.
Implementation by a Sonnet subagent; design and review on Fable.

Live triage with Bernardo. #114 (greeter ignores per-device layouts):
ruled document-only — a kernel VT has exactly one keymap, so tuigreet
structurally cannot honour settings.keyboard.devices. README gets the
"Greeter keyboard layout" note after the home.nix options table,
RECOVERY.md §2 a one-line pointer for the password-rejected case,
ROADMAP's #145 cross-ref updated, BACKLOG entry deleted.
Also recorded: #120 stays deferred (cachix likely first step when
promoted); #134 decided — Nomarchy carries nixpkgs-unstable, unstable.*
via overlay, home-scope only — rewritten into NEXT; #143 upstream check
(rofi#2317 still open, no response) noted in the item.
Verification: V0 — docs and backlog only, prose reviewed in place.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
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.
Stylix always used the light adw-gtk3 sheet with recolored tokens; that
sheet hardcodes near-black button labels, which became black-on-dark in
Boreal GTK dialogs. Force adw-gtk3-dark (and prefer-dark) for dark mode,
and pin dialog button label colours in Stylix extraCss.
RECOVERY §4 documents the 14-day / keep-≥3-past policy for system and
Home Manager gens, with dry-run and timer commands. README and
REQUIREMENTS point here so install and day-2 hygiene match the product.
System is Connectivity / Devices / Recovery / Preferences under the same
six-entry root. Recovery lists desktop (HM), system boot, and BTRFS files
once each with cost labels. Control Center is gone: blur/gaps live in Look
& Feel; update checks and Bluetooth/Printing package toggles in Preferences
(with rebuilds). docs/RECOVERY paths updated.
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.
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.
Acer M5-481T fails Ghostty because Ivy Bridge HD 4000 tops out at
OpenGL 4.2 in Mesa; Ghostty needs 4.3 — a generation ceiling, not a
missing driver. Document that plus UEFI/x86_64, RAM, and storage floors
(Nix store generations + BTRFS snapper + hibernate swap≈RAM). Linked
from README, docs map, HARDWARE.md; #95 points here.
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 tested the lock screen after turning `fingerprint.pam` on: sudo took
a finger, hyprlock did nothing. The PAM stack was not the problem — grosshack
sits in /etc/pam.d/hyprlock at order 11400 exactly like sudo's. hyprlock just
never asks it: its PAM conversation runs only on submit, so a module that
wants to prompt *while* polling the reader never gets a turn. hyprlock has its
own fprintd-over-D-Bus backend instead, behind `auth:fingerprint:enabled`,
which nothing in the distro ever set. So `fingerprint.pam = true` promised
"login + sudo" and silently skipped the surface you meet most often.
The second half is the one worth having: enabling the backend alone yields a
reader that works while the field still reads "password…". $FPRINTPROMPT is
the ONLY slot hyprlock renders the ready/scanning/failed messages into, and
ours hardcoded the placeholder — proven on hardware, where a test config with
the backend on unlocked by finger and said nothing whatsoever. A feature that
works and cannot be discovered fails VISION's "discoverable without reading
the README" either way, so the placeholder now carries $FPRINTPROMPT and the
messages mirror sudo's "Enter Password or Place finger".
New `nomarchy.idle.fingerprint` (default false), mirroring
`nomarchy.hardware.fingerprint.pam` the way `nomarchy.keyboard.layout` mirrors
`services.xserver.xkb.layout`: hyprlock is configured in standalone Home
Manager, which has no `osConfig` to derive the NixOS side from. Opt-in rather
than implied, because with no reader hyprlock advertises a scan that cannot
happen. Documented in the template (SoT for opt-in comments) and README —
option-docs caught the missing row, which is the check doing its job.
Verified V2: nix flake check --no-build; checks.option-docs passes (failed
first with "undocumented option", as it should). V3 pending: Bernardo applies
it and confirms the field reads "password… or scan finger" and both factors
work — the mechanism itself is already proven on his reader via a test config.

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 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.

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.
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).

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 skill shims became redundant once the auto-loaded entry point
(CLAUDE.md → AGENTS.md) explicitly instructs reading VERIFICATION.md /
THEME-DESIGN.md; their only remaining value was explicit /nomarchy and
/theme invocation. The adapter is now permissions + subagent defs only.
References updated (AGENTS.md, agent/README.md, docs/README.md, README
tree, MEMORY.md hygiene note).
Verification: V0 (docs/meta only).

The repo is maintained by agents from multiple vendors, so agent
instructions move out of vendor-specific locations into shared,
git-tracked markdown:
- AGENTS.md is the new entry point for any harness; CLAUDE.md becomes a
symlink to it (Claude Code keeps working unchanged).
- Skill bodies relocate to agent/: VERIFICATION.md (the enforcement
rules, ex .claude/skills/nomarchy), DELEGATION.md (capability tiers
light/standard/frontier, scout/runner role contracts, token economy,
parallel fan-out — consolidates the CLAUDE.md model table, LOOP.md's
economy section, and skill §6.5 into one place; vendor model names
survive only in the per-harness mapping table), THEME-DESIGN.md
(ex .claude/skills/theme, which previously lacked frontmatter).
- .claude/ shrinks to a thin Claude Code adapter: settings, subagent
defs, and skill shims that route into agent/.
- Maps updated: agent/README.md (instructions vs state vs adapters),
docs/README.md, README.md layout tree.
Cleanup: stale old_distro .gitignore entry dropped (dir long gone);
local result*/__pycache__ artifacts removed; JOURNAL.md rotated (29
recent entries kept, 120 older moved to agent/JOURNAL-ARCHIVE.md,
rotation rule documented in the header).
Verification: V0 (docs/meta only) — nix flake check --no-build exit 0
with the tracked symlink; grep sweep confirms no vendor model names
outside DELEGATION.md's mapping table.

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.
#69: audit-theme-design tags hue/CVD/ANSI-family noise on white,
vantablack, lumon, hackerman, matte-black, miasma as [identity] with a
legend — do not retune identity palettes into traffic lights.
#70: import-palettes keeps surface≠overlay when color0==color8, derives
light UI chips from base (ANSI-black trap), gentler light mantle; roles
are first-class. No bulk re-import of shipped theme JSON.
Verified: V0 (py_compile + synthetic import fixtures + audit report).
Add docs/VISION.md (product themes, v1.0 bar, agent slice hints) and
README maps under docs/ and agent/. Point ROADMAP, BACKLOG, LOOP,
CLAUDE, HARDWARE, and the root README at the split: VISION = intent,
BACKLOG = executable queue, ROADMAP = design history, .claude = harness
only. Mark v1.0 track in BACKLOG PROPOSED for human triage.
Make the downstream template the single source of truth for machine
flakes: nomarchy-install copies flake/system/home/theme-state and
patch-template.py only fills hostname, user, keyboard, detected
hardware, snapper, resume, and password. Install and flake-init users
now share the same commented opt-ins and starter home.packages.
Also: BACKLOG boreal-as-default proposal; installer audit notes;
HARDWARE.md from prior work if uncommitted.
Add docs/HARDWARE.md (layers, install path, firmware/fingerprint/NVIDIA
deep dives, unsupported machines, contributing a DMI line). Link from
README and MIGRATION; queue firmware UI, doctor checks, detect-hw CLI,
and related PROPOSED items in BACKLOG.
- Fixed invalid `windowrule` syntax when matching by class regex
which caused Hyprland parse errors.
- Documented IPC socket watcher for display profiles in README.
- Updated agent/JOURNAL.md.
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.launchOrFocus (opt-in, commented template example): each
entry gives a key that FOCUSES the app's existing window
(case-insensitive class match via jq + a "(?i)" focuswindow regex) or
launches it when none is open. One shared nomarchy-focus-or-launch
script; a bind whose command was removed from the suite fires a
"not installed" toast instead of failing silently. The same entries
render into the SUPER+? cheatsheet through prettyKeys — bind and
documentation stay one source. README row added.
Verified: V0; V1 — a scratch downstream with two entries renders both
binds (default command = lowercased class; custom mods/command/desc
honored), the script passes bash -n with a usage guard, and the
cheatsheet carries both rows. Focus behaviour needs a session -> V3
(HARDWARE-QUEUE).

nomarchy-display-profile gains `match <outputs>`: an exact set match
wins, else the largest profile whose named outputs are all connected;
any tie prints nothing — the watcher must never flap between ambiguous
layouts. nomarchy-display-profile-watch (exec-once when profiles are
declared, the keyboard-watcher poll pattern — session units race
Hyprland IPC on relogin) reacts to output-set CHANGES only, reads
settings.displayProfileAuto from the live state each time (the menu's
new Auto-switch row toggles it instantly, no rebuild), and applies via
the tool — so an auto-pick persists a concrete profile that the next
rebuild bakes. A separate boolean rather than an "auto" pseudo-profile
for exactly that bake semantics.
Verified: V0 (flake check); V1 — a scratch 4-profile downstream builds;
tool + watcher pass bash -n; the match matrix exercised end-to-end:
three exact picks, an unambiguous-superset pick, a tie -> none, a
no-fit -> none; the watcher is exec-once'd in the rendered config; the
menu renders the Auto-switch row. Remains: V3 real dock/undock
(HARDWARE-QUEUE, rides the slice-a entry). Slice c (workspace binding)
stays, tagged optional.
