+# Nomarchy Distribution - TODO List
+
+## 1. Professional Installer [IN PROGRESS]
+- [x] Refactor with `gum` for stylized UI.
+- [x] Add clear section headers and environment checks.
+- [x] Implement software profile selection.
+- [ ] Add "Pre-flight Check" summary screen showing all selected options (disk, user, profiles) before proceeding.
+- [ ] Implement post-install "Success" dashboard with next steps.
+- [ ] Improve disk selection to show more metadata (vendor, model, serial).
+
+## 2. Nomarchy Plymouth Theme [IN PROGRESS]
+- [x] Create custom theme assets in `assets/plymouth/`.
+- [x] Center official logo on splash screen.
+- [x] Declarative integration in `modules/system/plymouth.nix`.
+- [ ] Implement full LUKS password entry support (password prompt, bullet indicators).
+- [ ] Add smooth fade-in/fade-out animations for the logo.
+- [ ] Add system message display (e.g., "Rebooting...", "Checking Disk...").
+
+## 3. System Branding (Fastfetch & Terminal) [DONE]
+- [x] Restore and optimize official ASCII logo (`logo.txt`).
+- [x] Update `config/fastfetch/config.jsonc` to use new logo and declarative stats.
+- [x] Update `nomarchy-show-logo` to use centralized branding path.
+- [x] Declaratively map all branding assets via Home Manager.
+
+## 4. Repo Hygiene & Consistency [DONE]
+- [x] Remove legacy Arch Linux imperative scripts.
+- [x] Move all dynamic state to unified `state.json`.
+- [x] Implement professional state migration via Home Manager activation.
+- [x] Declaratively link all `config/` directories with `recursive = true`.
+- [x] Transition to Remote-First Upstream model.
