The wallpapers repo's 'updates' commit gave each of the three v1 pair
themes a second background (1-/2-<slug>.png, replacing the single
ember-kiln/clay-kiln era files), but this lock still pinned the
one-wallpaper rev — downstream machines re-lock the transitive
nomarchy-wallpapers input from *this* lock, so SUPER+SHIFT+T
('bg next') cycled a one-item list and visibly did nothing
(hardware report, kiln-clay, 2026-07-18).
Targeted bump of the wallpapers input only — runtime-only content,
never read at eval (see flake.nix). Verified: pkgs.nomarchy-default-themes
builds, which runs the per-slug drift check (every theme json still has a
non-empty backgrounds/), and kiln + kiln-clay now list two files each.

First of three Nomarchy-exclusive dark/light pairs for v1 (with
executive-ivory and kiln/kiln-clay in the next commits), built for
settings.autoTheme: same identity in two lights, so the sunrise flip
feels like the same room brightening.
Boreal Dawn is the boreal forest six hours later — the aurora faded
into a cold clear dawn. Frost-paper base (#EDF2F6), deep-slate text
(10.9:1 AAA), the aurora violet deepened to text-grade (#7458C8,
4.69:1), spruce teal accentAlt (#22766E), GeistMono + the same 6/14/3/12
geometry as boreal so the pair swaps shape-invariant. Assets: whole-swap
waybar (the same three frosted pills, light glass), rofi + 4x3 launcher
grid, btop theme, dawn-treeline wallpaper mirroring aurora-boreal's
composition (same spiky silhouette, dawn gradient, fading stars).
flake.lock: nomarchy-wallpapers 803b48d -> a716cf6 — the single-input
bump carrying backgrounds for all four new slugs (this task is the lock
bump). Preview is a real render: theme-shot VM desktop at 480x270.
Verification: V2. nix flake check --no-build green; checks
theme-contrast (28x7+chips), theme-wholeswap, waybar-language,
waybar-swap-env, rofi-text-width, state-sync-validate, auto-theme (VM
day/night engine) all green. Visual protocol: theme-shot VM renders
viewed for desktop + menu (frosted pills, wash selection, legibility —
screenshots in /nix/store/l26kfdcf...theme-shot-boreal-dawn). audit
findings at/below the boreal baseline (CVD-only + the same
accent-pair Δhue as boreal). V3 pending: real-GL blur, btop visual,
launcher grid on hardware (HARDWARE-QUEUE, this batch's entry).
Design by Fable (palette lab + wallpaper SVGs); asset port by a Sonnet
subagent from the boreal sources; reviewed file-by-file 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.

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.

Found every authored .rasi deliberately hides the scrollbar (width:0), so
the overflow hint needs per-theme tuning across ~10 files with a V3-only
payoff — recorded so it is picked up in a themed session, not blind.

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).

Downstream users now own only system.nix and home.nix; their flake.nix is
generated once from the template and never hand-edited. mkFlake (lib.nix)
wires both layers and maps hardwareProfile = "<name>" to nixos-hardware
modules (new input, pinned here, nixpkgs follows ours; unknown names fail
with did-you-mean suggestions). Flake checks evaluate the template through
mkFlake — including a real profile — so drift fails `nix flake check`.
Also from the live-VM testing session: install the home-manager CLI in the
live ISO and pin flake inputs transitively (offline theme switching needs
stylix's own inputs too), plus swww→awww doc updates.
