catppuccin, lumon, nord and retro-82 carried 2-14 line waybar.css
stubs from the rewrite import (f211ef0). A theme waybar.css replaces
the entire generated stylesheet, so those four shipped a raw default
Waybar: no workspace pill, cramped flush-edge right cluster, none of
the generated polish. Deleting the stubs falls them back to the
generated bar in their own palette; their full ~110-line rofi.rasi
designs are untouched. Authored whole-swap bars remain only
summer-day/night.
V2: lumon captured before/after — stub bar was default-styled,
re-capture renders the generated styling. flake check green.

Hovering the clock now leads with the zone — "{:%Z (UTC%z)}" above the
calendar — on the generated bar and both summer whole-swaps (parity).
Under auto-timezone the existing tz-watch SIGUSR2 reload keeps it
showing the currently detected zone. %Z is the abbreviation (BST), not
the IANA name — strftime has no code for that, and it satisfies the
"(optional)" nicety.
Verified: V0; V1 — the rendered generated config carries the new
tooltip-format and both summer jsonc parse with it. Hover render
queued for hardware.

nomarchy-doctor-status: silent while nomarchy-doctor exits 0 (or is
absent), so the module only exists when something is actually broken —
then a red warning glyph with the first ✖ lines jq-escaped into the
tooltip; clicking opens the full sheet (nomarchy-menu doctor).
Interval 300s: the health check is real work (unit/disk/git sweeps),
and this is a tripwire, not a monitor. Added to the generated bar
(status group, after battery) and to BOTH summer whole-swap bars
(module list + jsonc block + CSS membership + @red rule) per the
parity rule.
Verified: V0; V1 — template-home builds with the module in config +
CSS, the status script passes bash -n, both summer jsonc still parse;
functional — the self-gate exits silently, and a shimmed failing
doctor yields jq-valid JSON with class "bad" and the ✖ lines in the
tooltip. Live render queued for hardware.

Both summer whole-swap rasi rendered prompt and placeholder in the
same bg0 on the green inputbar, reading as one run-on phrase — the
placeholder is now bg0 at 60% alpha, matching the generated theme's
hierarchy.
Recorded with it: the catppuccin-latte 1080p capture shows the
generated menu fully coherent on light themes (the audit's "dark
terminal on latte" was a stale preview), and a dedicated VM probe
confirms misc:background_color is applied (hyprctl getoption =
0xFFEFF1F5) — the dark backdrop in captures is awww's empty-state
layer over it, a wallpaper-less-VM artifact, not a defect.
Verified: rasi edits grep-verified (visual rides the next summer
capture / hardware); latte capture + probe reviewed. Item 28 is now
gated on the icon-weight [human] call and the queued hardware
eyeballs.

18 hex retunes, hue-preserving OKLCH minimal raises except where the
upstream palette defines a canonical value: muted lifted to >= 2.0 on
lumon/white/retro-82/everforest (solved), gruvbox (bg4 #7c6f64), nord
(#616e88, the community comment-brightening), catppuccin-latte
(overlay1 #8c8fa1); text-on-surface >= 4.5 via surface nudges
(ristretto darker, latte lighter); accentAlt >= 3.0 (latte, summer-day
darkened); warn >= 2.5 — the bar's battery tint — darkened on the
light bases (latte, rose-pine dawn, summer-day) and flexoki-light's
four status colors moved to their canonical light-mode 600 series.
check-theme-contrast.py now gates all four adopted floors (7 pairings
x 21 themes, green). good/bad stay audit-only — identity themes sit at
2.0-2.3 there by design, so no exemption mechanism was needed. The
design audit's contrast findings drop 20 -> 1 (miasma's earthy `bad`,
kept as identity). Item 28 slice (b) complete.
Verified: V0, checks.theme-contrast green, flake check green,
re-audit. Rendering is V3 -> HARDWARE-QUEUE eyeball entries.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The audit's P1s, fixed at the palette level (items 25/27 previously
patched the consumers around these):
- summer-day: surface was the TEXT color (slate #5c6a72 on cream) and
subtext was the BASE (ratio 1.0, invisible) — now a raised cream
surface #efe7d0 and a slate-teal subtext #6e828a in the theme's
family.
- flexoki-light: surface/overlay/muted were all the text black and
subtext the paper — retuned to canonical upstream Flexoki tones
(ui #E6E4D9, #B7B5AC, tx-2 #6F6E69, base-500 #878580).
- miasma: pure-black surface under a #222 base → raised #2e2e2e.
- kanagawa: surface was sumiInk0 (darker than the bg) → upstream's
raised sumiInk4 #2a2a37.
check-theme-contrast.py gains the adopted rule: subtext on base >= 3.0
(all 21 themes pass), so the invisible-secondary-text class cannot
ship again. Model note in the backlog: `overlay` is a mid-tone role
(catppuccin semantics), not a third bg tier.
Verified: V0 + checks.theme-contrast green (21x3); re-audit shows all
four P1 findings gone; a scratch downstream with summer-day active
builds and the new surface hex lands in the rendered ghostty config.
Remains: V3 four-theme eyeball (HARDWARE-QUEUE) and 28b's P2 floors +
exemption list.

Summer-night's whole-swap bar had an idle_inhibitor the generated bar
lacked (reverse parity gap from the 2026-07-04 sweep). The generated
bar now carries it — click → , warm tint while active, tooltips
saying what it holds — blocking hypridle's lock/display-off/suspend
for videos and presentations; state deliberately resets with the bar.
summer-day mirrors summer-night's module + CSS, and the keybinds
cheatsheet mentions the bar click (via keybinds.extra).
V1: rendered config has the module with correct glyphs, CSS rules
present, cheatsheet row renders. Inhibit behaviour needs a session →
V3 queued.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
nomarchy-record owns the lifecycle: start prefers wl-screenrec (VAAPI
hardware encode) and falls back to wf-recorder if it dies at startup
(the no-VAAPI case), stop SIGINTs so the file finalizes cleanly, and
status feeds a self-gating Waybar ⏺ REC (alert red) whose click is
the one stop surface — signal 8 pokes make it appear/vanish
instantly. Capture gains Record region/screen (+ audio variants) and
self-swaps to '■ Stop recording' while one runs. Parity: both summer
whole-swap bars carry the same module. Recordings land in
~/Videos/Recordings with the screenshot timestamp naming (deviation
from 'next to Screenshots': an .mp4 in Pictures felt wrong).
V1: rendered bar config + CSS asserted, summer jsonc parse, recorder
dry-run state machine correct (idle/active/usage exits), both
recorders in home-path. Real capture needs a session → V3 queued
(incl. the VAAPI-vs-fallback check on the AMD box).

SUPER+SHIFT+K → hyprctl switchxkblayout current next, rendered only
when the session layout has a comma — the same gate as the Waybar
language indicator. Bind data is a separate multiLayoutBinds list in
keybinds.nix (still one source); hyprland.nix and the rofi cheatsheet
gate on the identical condition, so bind and cheatsheet cannot drift.
`current` targets the focused keyboard, so per-device-overridden
boards (single layout) are a no-op.
Parity: hyprland/language (with the keyboard glyph) added to both
summer waybar.jsonc whole-swaps + #language in their CSS. Static JSON
cannot eval-gate, so on summer themes the module shows even with one
layout — parity-over-minimalism, deliberate. Found en route:
summer-night has an idle_inhibitor the generated bar lacks (reverse
gap) — folded into backlog item 13.
Also — agent/BACKLOG.md gains items 21-24 from Bernardo's Latitude
5410 hardware QA (waybar crash on theme switch + no respawn; nameless
network-menu rows; a no-update sys-rebuild; Back-everywhere audit),
queued ahead of everything; HARDWARE-QUEUE's snapshot re-test now
carries the "update to >= a47aa3a + relogin" precondition, since
findings 5/6 match the pre-polkit-agent behavior exactly.
Verified: V0 (flake check, both summer JSONs parse) + V1 both
directions (default single-layout build renders no bind; us,de via
extendModules renders bind AND cheatsheet row). V3 cycle check queued.

A dedicated System → VPN flow (nomarchy-vpn) past the wifi picker:
- NetworkManager VPN/WireGuard connections shown ● active / ○ inactive,
toggled up/down on select (networkmanager-group users need no sudo).
- Import a *.conf / *.ovpn via the fd picker → nmcli connection import,
type chosen by extension. networkmanager-openvpn ships system-side
(networking.networkmanager.plugins, mkDefault) so the openvpn type is
available; WireGuard is native to NetworkManager.
- Tailscale block, self-gated on the CLI (= nomarchy.services.tailscale):
read-only status + up/down + exit-node; privileged actions go through a
sudo terminal (the snapshot pattern), no operator wiring.
Waybar custom/vpn shield (nomarchy-vpn-status): self-hides unless a NM
tunnel or Tailscale is up; @good tone; click opens the submenu. Wired
into the generated bar and both summer whole-swaps. Decided import-first;
creation deferred to nm-connection-editor. ROADMAP marked shipped.
Eval + home/system builds green; both scripts pass bash -n. Pending an
on-machine check (live nmcli import/connect + Tailscale paths).

Author a designed rofi.rasi whole-swap for the four remaining identity
themes, so all six now carry a distinct menu look (summer-day/night
already shipped their legacy ports). Each is built from the theme's
character rather than a legacy layout (their waybar overrides are
palette-only, so there was nothing to port):
- nord: soft rounded "frost panel" — frost border, brighter-frost
selection, aurora-purple prompt
- retro-82: sharp CRT terminal — square corners, amber-on-navy, a teal
scanline underline, mono
- lumon: clinical cyan "bezel" — thick cyan frame, a framed-not-filled
readout inputbar, mono
- kanagawa: ink & paper — warm washi-paper frame, deep ink-well inputbar,
crystal-blue wave selection
Each file is self-contained (it replaces the generated theme) and keeps
the element structure the theme-grid picker's per-invocation -theme-str
layers onto. rofi.nix needs no change — its existing themes/<slug>/
rofi.rasi probe whole-swaps when the file is present. All four parse
clean under `rofi -dump-theme`.

Replace the plain-text `nomarchy-menu theme` list with a grid of real
desktop previews. The grid, the Name→slug map and the active `✓` mark
are generated at eval time from the preset JSONs (`readDir` + `fromJSON`
in rofi.nix); "active" is just `t.slug`, since every switch rebuilds the
menu. Grouped dark-first then light in one scrollable grid (the previews
make the mode obvious — no light/dark submenu split), `flow: horizontal`
so Down scrolls row-by-row.
Previews are committed as themes/<slug>/preview.png at 480×270 (~2.4 MB
for all 21). rofi's element-icon `size` is single-value → a *square*
cell that *contains* the icon, so a 16:9 preview would letterbox; a
build-time imagemagick step centre-crops each to a square so it fills
the cell edge-to-edge (source stays 16:9, crop is reversible). The
window width is derived from `themeGridIconW` so a column is exactly the
icon side — no slack margins. Themes without a preview degrade to a
plain-name row.

Add opt-in nomarchy.updates (modules/home/updates.nix): a nomarchy-updates
checker on a systemd user timer (interval, default daily) that surfaces a
Waybar indicator + a notification when updates are available, without ever
changing anything (you still run sys-update / flatpak update).
It counts:
- flake inputs behind upstream — only the flake's DIRECT inputs (root.inputs:
nixpkgs, the Nomarchy input, home-manager, stylix…), not the transitive
closure, via `git ls-remote` vs the locked rev. Offline → skipped, never a
false alarm.
- Flatpak updates, when the flatpak CLI is present (.flatpak, gated on
services.flatpak being on) — Bernardo's suggestion.
Waybar custom/updates self-gates (hidden until the timer finds something;
accent " N", signal 9 for instant refresh), in the generated bar and both
summer whole-swaps. The notification fires only when the count grows, so a
daily timer doesn't nag. Click → the upgrade flow in a terminal (sys-update /
flatpak update, each confirmed). nomarchy-updates ships always on PATH and
self-gates so the static whole-swap bars can exec it even when the feature
is off.
Verified: flake check clean; home generation builds; the jq direct-input
filter + status self-gate exercised against the real flake.lock; script
passes bash -n. Pending an on-machine check (ls-remote/notify/timer need a
live session).

Add a runtime toggle for the scheduled blue-light filter, the remaining
optional item on the night-light roadmap entry.
nomarchy-nightlight (nightlight.nix, always on PATH) starts/stops the
hyprsunset *service* rather than poking its runtime gamma: `systemctl
--user is-active` is the single source of truth, the screen restores to
true colours when stopped, and it lets you force the filter off for
colour-sensitive work (even at night) and back on without touching config.
It self-gates — `status` prints nothing when the unit is absent — so the
indicator hides itself when night-light isn't enabled.
- Menu: `nomarchy-menu nightlight` toggles it; a self-gated row in the
System submenu (shown only when the hyprsunset unit exists).
- Waybar: a self-gating `custom/nightlight` indicator (moon = on, sun =
off), in the generated bar and both summer whole-swap themes for parity.
Verified: home generation builds, generated waybar config carries
custom/nightlight, the menu has the dispatcher case + System row, both
scripts pass bash -n, and status self-gates to empty with no unit. Pending
an on-machine check that stopping hyprsunset cleanly restores the gamma.

The network/wifi indicator duplicated nm-applet, which already sits in the
tray (services.network-manager-applet.enable), so remove it from the bar.
And the power-profile speedometer glyph rendered noticeably smaller than
the neighbouring indicators, so bump its font-size (+3pt generated; 20px
summer-day, 17px summer-night).
Applied to the generated bar (waybar.nix) and both whole-swap themes
(summer-day/night waybar.{jsonc,css}) for parity.

Reworked the menu look, palette-driven so it lands on every theme:
- Real Papirus icons in place of Nerd Font glyphs: a row() helper emits
rofi's per-row icon protocol, and the five static menus (root, Tools,
System, Power, Capture) map each entry to a freedesktop icon name
(verified present in Papirus). Entry text is now clean ("Apps"), the
case-matching is unchanged.
- Larger icons via a new t.ui.iconSize knob (36px, generated theme); the
summer whole-swaps keep their 40px identity.
- Rounded, roomy rows with subtle zebra striping: alternate rows lift to
@surface (a faint bg0 wash on the summer cream/slate windows), the
selected row to @accent — using rofi's normal/alternate/selected row
parities.
- Content-fit windows: fixed-num-lines=false so a 6-entry menu stops
reserving 8 rows of empty space (the launcher still fills + scrolls).
Dropped the fixed height:50% from the summer .rasi so they size to
content too — which also unhid their clipped Power/Keybindings rows.
- Title-cased the menu prompts.
Verified by building the HM config and rendering the generated theme plus
both summer whole-swaps headlessly (sway + grim): icons resolve, zebra
shows, every menu hugs its rows.

custom/powerprofile only appeared in the generated bar -- its exec was a
writeShellScript store path, which can't go in the summer themes' static
whole-swap waybar.jsonc, so summer-day/night were missing it (the DND bell
already had parity). Promote powerProfileStatus/Cycle to named
writeShellScriptBins on PATH (waybar.nix home.packages) and reference them
by bare name, then add custom/powerprofile to both summer waybar.jsonc +
their waybar.css. Same pattern as the swaync bell.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The DND bell only landed in the generated Waybar config; summer-day and
summer-night ship waybar.jsonc whole-swaps that replace it entirely, so
they'd have shown no bell. Add custom/notification (swaync-client -swb,
left-click panel / right-click DND) to both legacy layouts with their
FontAwesome bell / bell-slash glyphs, and style it alongside the other
right-side modules in each waybar.css.

Two branding follow-ups, using the vendored legacy assets:
- fastfetch (modules/home/fastfetch.nix, nomarchy.fastfetch.enable): the
vector logo recolored to the palette accent and rendered to compact
block-art via chafa at build time (so it tracks the theme), fronting a
curated module list. Replaces the oversized legacy ASCII.
- Waybar logo glyph: vendor Nomarchy.ttf (modules/nixos/branding/),
install it via fonts.packages, and switch the summer-day/night menu
buttons to its U+F000 mark with `font-family: Nomarchy` pinned in CSS
(Nerd Fonts also occupy U+F000, so the pin is required). Glyph stored as
the JSON escape for robustness.
Also log a roadmap item for a quality-of-life alias collection.
Verified: font family resolves as "Nomarchy" and the ttf maps U+F000;
both summer jsonc parse; chafa logo builds headless; nix flake check passes.

summer-day/summer-night showed all 10 workspace icons up-front. The cause:
legacy used the deprecated `persistent_workspaces` (underscore), which
current Waybar silently ignores — so legacy only ever showed *existing*
workspaces. The v1 port rewrote it to the modern `persistent-workspaces`
(hyphen), which Waybar honours, surfacing all ten as phantoms.
Drop the block from both summer waybar.jsonc whole-swaps. The other themes
render from waybar.nix, which never declared persistent-workspaces, so they
already only show existing workspaces — no change needed there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
v1 forced an accent→accentAlt 45deg gradient on every theme's window
border; the legacy identity themes all used a *solid* border — accent for
nord/retro-82/lumon, the text tone for kanagawa/summer-day/summer-night.
Add a palette-resolved `border` field ({active, inactive}, each a palette
key or literal hex) to the theme schema with accent/overlay defaults in
theme.nix, consume it solid in hyprland.nix, and declare it in every
preset (and the live state). Declaring it everywhere is required because
`nomarchy-theme-sync apply` deep-merges presets — an omitted field would
stick across switches, like colors already are fully specified per theme.
All six identity themes resolve to their exact legacy active border
(verified: nord #81a1c1, retro-82 #faa968, lumon #f2fcff, kanagawa
#dcd7ba, summer-night #d3c6aa, summer-day #5c6a72). nix flake check passes.

themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi whole-swaps for the two themes that had a
distinct launcher look in the legacy branch — inverted window (bg=fg),
green inputbar, yellow bottom-border accent, rounded. Adapted: dropped
the configuration{} block (rofi.nix owns modi/terminal/show-icons) and
swapped the unshipped Iosevka 17 for a shipped Nerd Font.
Verified: both .rasi parse under `rofi -dump-theme`; the whole-swap
selects per active theme (summer-night → #2d353b/#a7c080, summer-day →
#fdf6e3, others → the generated palette theme); flake check green.

- Themed fuzzel (modules/home/fuzzel.nix): palette/fonts/border from the
JSON, themes/<slug>/fuzzel.ini whole-swap mechanism. Plus the
nomarchy-menu dispatcher: root picker · power (SUPER+Escape) · theme
(SUPER+T) · clipboard (SUPER+CTRL+V, cliphist) · calc (qalc) · files
(fd→xdg-open) · web (DuckDuckGo).
- swaync notifications themed from the JSON (SUPER+N) — until now nothing
rendered notify-send (theme toasts, font warnings, welcome msg).
- hyprlock + hypridle (modules/home/idle.nix): lock 5min, dpms off 10,
suspend 30; enables the power menu's Lock entry. cliphist daemon on.
- NetworkManager applet in waybar's tray (preferStatusNotifierItems);
network module on-click → $TERMINAL -e nmtui.
- nomarchy.keyboard.layout/.variant option → Hyprland kb_layout/kb_variant
(the installer writes it; pairs with system-side xkb for tty/LUKS).
- Media-key/audio on-click moved to wpctl (pamixer was inconsistent).
- Theme parity: summer-day/night carry their legacy bar LAYOUTS as
waybar.jsonc whole-swaps (the original import took waybar.css but not
config.jsonc, so identity themes styled nonexistent modules). Dead
legacy script-modules dropped, Nerd-Fonts-v2 codepoints → FontAwesome/v3
(font-awesome now shipped), logo buttons open nomarchy-menu.
New toggles: nomarchy.{fuzzel,swaync,idle}.enable (all default true).

- 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).

Full replacement of the previous iteration, rebuilt around three ideas:
- Pure evaluation: theme-state.json lives inside the flake and is read
via the nomarchy.stateFile option — no --impure, ever.
- All-Home-Manager theming: `nomarchy-theme-sync apply` writes the JSON
and runs `home-manager switch`; every theme change is one atomic,
rollbackable generation. Wallpaper (swww) is the sole runtime piece.
- Flat, downstream-first layout: modules/{nixos,home} with one
options.nix each, exported as nixosModules/homeModules + overlay +
flake template; system (nixos-rebuild) and desktop (home-manager
switch) rebuild paths are fully split.
Ships 21 themes imported from the previous iteration (palettes,
wallpapers, btop themes, six whole-swap Waybar identities), Stylix for
the GTK/Qt/cursor long tail, a live ISO target with offline theme
switching, and docs/TESTING.md with the QEMU verification workflow.
