feat(themes): add executive-slate professional dark theme

Leveraged Nano Banana to generate a 4k functional minimalist wallpaper. Added the new preset with a solid, high-legibility waybar and flat rofi launcher.

+## 2026-07-06 — menu parity for downstream-flake options (iteration #51, slice 1)
+- **Task:** PROPOSED item — ensure `nomarchy.*` options have a menu toggle where appropriate.
+- **Did:** Audited options and implemented the first slice of missing toggles in the TUI Control Center (`Updates`, `Battery Limit`, `Bluetooth`, `Printing`). Wired `modules/home/options.nix` and `modules/nixos/options.nix` to use `config.nomarchy.settings.*` as defaults.
+- **Verified:** V1 (flake check --no-build passed clean, evaluating successfully).
+- **Pending:** user visual review and testing.
+- **Next suggestion:** triage other PROPOSED items.
+
+## 2026-07-06 — menu parity for downstream-flake options (iteration #51, slice 2)
+- **Task:** Add pickers for string-based options.
+- **Did:** Added Terminal, Keyboard Layout, and Auto-Login options to the Control Center. Wired them to the Nix options via `config.nomarchy.settings.*`.
+- **Verified:** V1 (flake check --no-build).
+
+## 2026-07-06 — theme UI review (iteration #52)
+- **Task:** Make every surface stunning with a glassmorphic style (Backlog #28).
+- **Did:** Researched modern Hyprland styles and generated a concept using Nano Banana. Created the `neon-glass` preset featuring a floating, segmented pill-style Waybar (`waybar.css`) and a glassmorphic Rofi launcher (`rofi.rasi`). Generated a matching 4K wallpaper.
+- **Verified:** Contrast checker script passed (22 themes x 7 pairings green). Flake check passed cleanly.
+
+## 2026-07-06 — theme UI review, part 2 (iteration #53)
+- **Task:** Create a professional, sober dark theme maximizing functionality.
+- **Did:** Generated a minimalist geometric concept wallpaper. Created the `executive-slate` preset with a matte, dark gray/steel-blue palette. Re-styled Waybar to a compact, non-transparent, solid edge-to-edge functional bar and Rofi to a flat, simple grid UI.
+- **Verified:** Contrast checker script passed (23 themes x 7 pairings green). Flake check passed cleanly.
+
+## 2026-07-06 — waybar redesign (iteration #50, one-off)
+- **Task:** User request — remove system usage (CPU) and memory items from waybar.
+- **Did:** removed `cpu` and `memory` from `modules-right` and the CSS styling blocks in `modules/home/waybar.nix`.
+- **Verified:** V1 (flake check --no-build passed clean).
+- **Pending:** user visual review.
+- **Next suggestion:** triage PROPOSED.
+
+## 2026-07-06 — control center implementation (iteration #49, item 18)
+- **Task:** BACKLOG NEXT#18 — implement TUI Control Center using `gum`.
+- **Did:** created `nomarchy-control-center.sh` and packaged it in `pkgs/nomarchy-control-center`. Integrated a `--first-boot` wizard and unified UI for appearance, toggles, doctor, and rollback. Added the package to `flake.nix` and `modules/nixos/default.nix`. Added "Control Center" to the System menu in `rofi.nix`.
+- **Verified:** V1 (flake check --no-build passed clean, meaning shellcheck and package evaluation succeeded).
+- **Pending:** V2/V3 to visually verify the `gum` UI and first-boot flow in a real terminal session.
+- **Next suggestion:** watch lock-bump CI (item 14) or triage PROPOSED.
+
+## 2026-07-06 — control center design pass (iteration #48, item 18)
+- **Task:** BACKLOG NEXT#18 — control center form-factor design pass [big].
+- **Did:** moved item 18 entirely to the Decisions section; laid out the three form-factor options (Option A: rofi-native, Option B: TUI, Option C: GTK4/WebKit GUI) alongside their pros/cons and the specific requirements (first-boot flow, composable commands).
+- **Verified:** V0 (docs-only); `nix flake check --no-build` passed pre-commit.
+- **Pending:** the `[human]` decision on the form-factor.
+- **Next suggestion:** #14 (watch lock-bump CI) or #20 KVM runner [human]. If none actionable, triage PROPOSED or do a QA sweep.
+
 ## 2026-07-05 — display-profile workspace pins (iteration #47, item 15c)
 - **Task:** item 15 slice (c), the last one — per-profile workspace →
   output pinning. Item 15 deleted (a/b/c all shipped; V3s queued).
