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.

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.
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.

nomarchy.displayProfiles: named layouts for the same outputs, each a
list of nomarchy.monitors-style entries. The active profile lives in
the in-flake state (settings.displayProfile) on the night-light
pattern: nomarchy-display-profile apply <name> fires the baked hyprctl
rules instantly and writes the state with --no-switch; the next rebuild
bakes the profile's entries over nomarchy.monitors whole-by-name.
Monitor-rule composition is extracted to pure monitor-rules.nix
(renderer + 3-layer resolve, incl. a disable-guard so a stale menu
resolution pick can't resurrect a profile-disabled panel, and junk
state degrading to base config instead of an eval error) — because a
writeText/toFile state fixture is unreadable at flake-check eval time,
the new checks.display-profiles unit-tests the pure function directly.
Menu: System › Display gains a self-gated "Profiles ›" row (●/○ active
mark, Base layout to clear); commented template example + README row.
Verified: V0 (flake check, forcing the new check's asserts); V1 — a
scratch downstream through lib.mkFlake builds: the generated tool
passes bash -n with correct rules (disable/vrr/float scale), the baked
hyprland.conf shows the exact expected overlay, the menu renders, and
list/usage smoke-test clean. Remains: V3 live switching on a dock
(HARDWARE-QUEUE). Slices b (hotplug auto-switch) + c (workspace
binding) stay in item 15.

The bar colored the battery at 25/10% but nothing notified. New
shellcheck-gated watcher (pkgs/nomarchy-battery-notify, overlay) polls
the same sysfs the bar reads — type=Battery, scope!=Device — and fires
one toast per downward crossing (normal at 25%, critical at 10%; swaync
keeps critical up until dismissed), re-armed by charging. Self-gates on
battery presence (the powerprofile pattern), so desktops get a silent
no-op. HM user unit behind nomarchy.batteryNotify.enable (default on)
with libnotify on the unit PATH; notify-send resolves from PATH so the
VM check can shim it. poweralertd rejected: its UPower thresholds
(20/5) wouldn't match the bar, and it toasts every plug/unplug.
Verified: V0 (flake check, bash -n); V1 (template-home builds, unit in
the generation); V2 GREEN (new checks.battery-notify, test_power fake
battery: self-gate, silence at 80%, one toast per crossing, critical
urgency, charging re-arms). Remains: V3 — real swaync toast on a
draining laptop (HARDWARE-QUEUE).

The things that actually break user machines, one command (and menu ›
System › Doctor): failed system/user units, disk space (real
filesystems only — fstype allowlist makes it VM/live safe, device
dedupe collapses / and /nix), theme-state.json parses + is
git-tracked, flake dirty/behind as warnings, generation age (profile
symlink mtime — store paths are epoch-1), snapper timeline when
enabled. Read-only by contract; every ✖ prints the one fixing command;
exit 1 on any problem. Ships as pkgs/nomarchy-doctor so the VM check
runs on a minimal node.
Verified: V1 package build (shellcheck-gated) + a real-hardware smoke
that correctly flagged a genuinely failed user unit on the dev box;
V2 green — checks.doctor VM test: induced failed unit flips the sheet
to exit-1 naming the unit and its fix, reset-failed returns healthy.

The informative half of 'informative + rock-stable': both rebuild
wrappers capture /run/current-system before the switch and print a
package-level nvd diff after it — store-path-pinned so no PATH
dependence, || true so an ornamental diff can never fail a succeeded
rebuild, and an identical-path fast-path says 'no changes'. README §3
notes it. V1: template-system toplevel rebuilt, generated scripts
bash -n clean, nvd smoke-run against the real closure.

The complete-workstation gap: no PDF/image viewer shipped and nothing
set mime defaults, so 'open a photo' fell to GIMP. Two new default-on
toggles: nomarchy.viewers (programs.zathura — Stylix themes it, target
added to the explicit list — plus imv) and nomarchy.mime (mkDefault
xdg.mimeApps: pdf→zathura, image→imv, av→mpv, text→code, dir→thunar;
html/http(s)→firefox as inert entries that only activate when a
browser is installed — the ship-a-browser Decision stays open, now
smaller). Associations for absent apps are skipped by GIO, so the
whole thing degrades as the user curates the suite. Deviation from
the backlog text: viewers are a module toggle, not template package
lines — zathura's theming needs its HM module (the real-config
boundary of the toggle discipline).
V1: template-home generation asserted — mimeapps.list rendered, themed
zathurarc, binaries in home-path. V3 open-a-file smoke queued.

Slice (c), the last of the docs review: the install/first-run story
read end to end against the tree. Facts held (mkFlake args match the
table, disko's @snapshots + hibernation swapfile, .#default/.#me
naming); the one seam — README §3 never pointed the manual path at the
template README's first-run steps — got a connective paragraph. Item 6

Slice (d) of the docs review: docs/RECOVERY.md tells the recovery
story that existed only in pieces, ordered by symptom — bad theme/HM
change (generations, apply-known-good, git-revert the flake), desktop
won't start (TTY, greetd + user journals, VM-GL and preactivate-log
pointers), broken system change (older systemd-boot generation, then
make it stick), lost files (btrfs-assistant / nomarchy-snapshots), and
the ISO + nixos-enter last resort. Commands checked against the tree;

Slice (a) of the docs review: 9 undocumented nomarchy.* options got
README rows or inline .leaf mentions (autoTimezone, camera IR-hide,
intel.guc, amd.pstate/vaapi, package, system.stateFile, restic.paths).
The diff is now a flake check: option names are eval-walked from the
four option-declaring modules (config halves stay lazy) and compared
to the tables by tools/check-option-docs.py — undocumented options and
stale table rows both fail. Negative-tested against the pre-fix README
(reports exactly the 9 gaps). Item 6 split into slices a–d in BACKLOG.

Recovers the crashed iteration #7 (items 21+23, Latitude QA findings):
- nomarchy-waybar supervisor (waybar.nix, exec-once'd from
hyprland.nix): any waybar exit respawns the bar; crash-loop guard
(5 fast exits -> critical notify + stop); TERM trapped for a real
stop. Fixes the bar-less session after a theme-switch crash.
- nomarchy-theme-sync prefers a clean `pkill -x waybar` (supervisor
restart with fresh config+style) over the crash-prone in-place
SIGUSR2 reload when the supervisor is running; SIGUSR2 stays as the
unsupervised fallback.
- sys-rebuild: snapshot-first system rebuild against the CURRENT lock
(no `nix flake update`) — the no-update twin of sys-update;
README §3/§5 + motd list it.
Verified: V0 re-run green after crash recovery (flake check --no-build
+ py_compile); V1/V2 per the crashed session's journal entry (HM
renders exec-once=nomarchy-waybar; headless software-GL VM:
SIGKILL -> new pid, clean kill -> respawn, SIGUSR2 -> alive).
V3 pending on the Latitude (queued in HARDWARE-QUEUE.md).

modules/nixos/oom.nix — running out of memory now kills the offending
process (with a desktop notification via systembus-notify) instead of
freezing the desktop for minutes until the kernel OOM killer fires.
earlyoom over systemd-oomd, deliberately: oomd kills whole cgroups,
and a Hyprland session runs as ONE scope (nothing here spawns per-app
systemd scopes, unlike GNOME) — under pressure oomd would take out the
entire desktop to save it. earlyoom kills the single largest process
before the thrash point. nixpkgs default-enables oomd in an inert
state (no slices monitored); it is disabled outright so there is one
owner. Session plumbing is --avoid-listed (unanchored — NixOS wrappers
rename comm to .foo-wrapped); no --prefer tuning, largest-RSS
selection already finds the hog. All mkDefault; opt out with
services.earlyoom.enable = false (README note added).
Verified: V0 (flake check) + V2 — new checks.oom-protection
runNixOSTest, executed: a chunked allocator (686 MB peak, 1 GB VM) is
SIGTERM'd by earlyoom in 0.1 s, a bystander unit survives (the
process-level granularity the module exists for), and systemd-oomd is
asserted inactive. 25 s runtime.

settings.autoCommit — toggled from System › Auto-commit (self-gated on
the flake being a git repo) — makes every nomarchy-theme-sync apply/set
also git-commit theme-state.json in the downstream flake, so settings
history is `git log`. Off by default.
Design: the flag is live-read by the tool on each write (nothing in Nix
consumes it → instant toggle, no rebuild, no new option); the commit is
pathspec-limited to theme-state.json so unrelated dirty files are never
swept up; it fires when the flag is on before OR after the write, so
the disable-toggle itself lands in history; same-value writes no-op
(diff against HEAD); missing git identity falls back to
Nomarchy <nomarchy@localhost>; `bg next` is deliberately excluded.
Rider fix: `get` now prints booleans JSON-style (true, not Python's
True) — un-sticking the System menu's "Auto timezone (on/off)" label,
whose `= true` comparison could never match. All shell consumers
already normalise true|True, so no other behavior change.
Verified: V0 (py_compile, nix flake check) + V1 (HM generation builds,
generated nomarchy-menu passes bash -n, wiring present in the rendered
script) + a 7-assertion sandbox-repo round-trip covering enable/set/
same-value/disable/post-disable/apply paths and the identity fallback.
Remaining: on-machine check queued in agent/HARDWARE-QUEUE.md.

A git-tracked agent/ directory so AI agents can iterate on the distro
unattended (runner-agnostic: /loop, headless claude -p, or a fresh
manual session — all state lives in the checkout, per the distro's own
philosophy):
- LOOP.md — the iteration protocol: orient → pick one BACKLOG task →
verify up the V0–V3 ladder → commit+push main → record. Safety rails
(v1 untouchable, no force-push, no surprise lock bumps) and
stop-and-escalate conditions.
- BACKLOG.md — the forward half of docs/ROADMAP.md reworked into a
prioritized queue (5 NOW / 6 NEXT / LATER / PROPOSED / Decisions);
ROADMAP.md stays the design/decision record + shipped log.
- GOALS.md — the four pillars (stable > reproducible/zero-hidden-state >
effortless config > beautiful), quality bars, non-goals.
- CONVENTIONS.md — coding/design rules (in-flake state, menu placement,
Waybar whole-swap parity, toggle-vs-package, no formatter).
- MEMORY.md — curated hard-won lessons (VM recipes, btrfs-assistant
segfault watch, rofi/WirePlumber/hyprlock gotchas).
- HARDWARE-QUEUE.md — every pending V3 on-hardware check collected from
the ROADMAP, with exact steps, split by machine.
- JOURNAL.md — append-only iteration log, seeded with this bootstrap.
Plus a root CLAUDE.md entry point and README/ROADMAP pointers.
Verified: V0 — docs-only; nix flake check --no-build green.

Night light is off by default and configured entirely through the menu,
writing into the downstream flake instead of ~/.local/state — so the
choice is git-tracked and reproducible across a clone+rebuild.
Two flags under a new settings.* section of the state file (exposed as
the nomarchy.settings option):
- settings.nightlight.installed — sticky, gates the hyprsunset unit;
nomarchy.nightlight.enable mkDefault-reads it. First enable from the
menu rebuilds to create the unit (the one accepted rebuild).
- settings.nightlight.on — runtime on/off, toggled instantly
(theme-sync set --no-switch + systemctl), no rebuild. An ExecCondition
reads the live flag at session start so an off survives reboot;
splitting it from the sticky flag means a later unrelated rebuild
never undoes an instant-off (no decay).
Drops the ~/.local/state/nomarchy/nightlight-off marker and the
ConditionPathExists hack. theme-sync set now skips the wallpaper
re-apply for non-wallpaper keys, and its rebuild notifications are
generic ("changes" not "theme").
First cut of the broader principle — any user-settable config gets a
menu writer that lands it in the flake; no state outside the checkout.
Docs (README §4, ROADMAP, template) updated to reflect it.
Eval- and round-trip-verified; on-hardware check pending.

Split the options reference into separate home.nix / system.nix tables
and note the prefix rule (system/hardware/services → system.nix, the
rest → home.nix).

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.

Harden the hardware-enablement broad seed for newer hardware:
- xe vs i915: intel.guc emits the i915 param (i915.enable_guc=3), which the
newer `xe` driver (Lunar Lake / Battlemage / Panther Lake, recent Xe GPUs)
ignores — it enables GuC by default. hardware-db.sh now reads the in-use
GPU driver (lspci -k) and writes `intel.guc = false` on xe hardware, so the
toggle isn't a misleading no-op there.
- NPU detection by PCI accelerator class [1200] (+ keywords), attributing the
vendor, instead of a fixed device-ID list — so new NPUs (e.g. Panther Lake)
are caught without a code change. Known IDs kept as a fallback/reference.
- Kernel awareness: a nomarchy.hardware.latestKernel escape hatch
(linuxPackages_latest) for very-new hardware whose drivers only just landed,
and a build-time warning when npu.enable predates the shipped kernel
(amdxdna needs 6.14+, intel_vpu wants recent). Downstream default is 6.18,
which already carries amd-pstate + amdxdna; the reference host pins latest.
- VM test (checks.hardware-toggles, pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest): boots a
minimal VM with the toggles on and asserts the config landed — amd_pstate
+ i915.enable_guc in /proc/cmdline, fprintd.service present, pam_fprintd in
/etc/pam.d/sudo. Passing. (Hardware behaviour still needs bare metal.)
Docs: README + template note latestKernel; ROADMAP records the hardening.

The nixos-hardware "common-*" profiles the installer selects cover the
basics (microcode, the Intel/AMD VA-API media stack, weekly fstrim), and
power.nix adds thermald + power-profiles-daemon. This adds the gap above
them, generically and detected at install time.
New modules/nixos/hardware.nix exposes a vendor-keyed nomarchy.hardware.*
surface — broadly-beneficial bits default ON when the vendor is detected
(opt-out), heavy/experimental bits behind opt-in toggles:
- intel.enable -> GuC/HuC (i915.enable_guc=3); intel.computeRuntime
(opt-in: intel-compute-runtime + vpl-gpu-rt)
- amd.enable -> amd_pstate=active + radeonsi VA-API env; amd.rocm.enable
+ amd.rocm.gfxOverride (opt-in: ROCm HIP/OpenCL)
- fingerprint.enable -> fprintd; fingerprint.pam (opt-in: login + sudo)
- npu.enable (opt-in/experimental) -> the in-kernel driver
(amdxdna/intel_vpu) keyed by vendor; userspace runtime is BYO
hardware-db.sh now detects Intel/AMD, a fingerprint reader (libfprint USB
vendor IDs) and an NPU (Intel VPU / AMD XDNA PCI IDs), emitting NOMARCHY
lines the installer bakes into system.nix — safe defaults active, opt-ins
commented. Audited against the commons to avoid double-setting.
Verified: flake check green; a toggles-on build has amd_pstate=active +
i915.enable_guc=3 in kernel-params and ships fprintd.service; detection
runs correctly on the (AMD Ryzen-AI) dev machine. On-hardware verification
of the AMD/NPU/Intel-compute runtime bits is still pending.
Docs: template commented examples, README option table, ROADMAP status.

VM-verified the full batch of opt-in service toggles (libvirt, docker, obs
+ v4l2loopback, ollama, printing, openrgb, wireshark, adb, gamemode,
kdeconnect, restic) in a headless nixosTest — all green, no module bugs.
The one thing worth surfacing: services.restic ships a pre-configured
`restic-nomarchy` wrapper (repository + passwordFile baked in) for listing
and restoring snapshots. Mention it in the option description and README so
the restore path is discoverable — a backup you can't restore is half a
feature.
