+## 8. Pillar: QA audit — features & components
+
+Nomarchy now spans an installer, ~159 `nomarchy-*` scripts, a Hyprland desktop stack (Hyprland + waybar + walker + nightlight + idle), curated apps, a 22-palette theme engine, and two ISO hosts. Pillar 3 audited script *existence*; this pillar audits feature *behavior*. The goal: walk every shipped feature end-to-end on a real install, fix every bug or surprise inline when small, and capture the rest as new roadmap rows.
+
+Runs as **per-component sweeps**. One PR per component, branch `wave/qa-<component>`. Don't grow scope mid-PR — bugs that need a new option, refactor, or missing module become a new **Now**/**Next** row.
+
+Components (each is one sweep):
+
+1. **Installer** — `installer/install.sh`, `installer/hardware-db.sh`, disko configs. Fresh install + `--resume` + `--dry-run`, on laptop and desktop, with FDE (non-LUKS branch is Later). Verify every generated file (`flake.nix`, `system.nix`, `home.nix`, `hardware-selection.nix`, `state.json`) is correct and idempotent.
+2. **First-boot UX** — `nomarchy-welcome`, generated `home.nix`, SDDM and Plymouth metadata, default theme/font/panel position. Re-run on a clean VM; note every prompt that confuses and every default that's wrong.
+3. **Core system modules** — `core/system/*` (laptop, desktop, accessibility, gaming, hybridGPU, impermanence, network, hardware, branding). For each: enable → rebuild → observe the claimed effect → disable → rebuild → observe it's gone. Cross-check against `docs/OPTIONS.md`.
+4. **Core home modules** — `core/home/*` (options, state, behavior, overrides, deployed config). Verify every home-side `nomarchy.*` option does what its description claims; confirm `~/.config/nomarchy/overrides/` actually overrides.
+5. **Desktop stack** — Hyprland (keybindings, window rules, monitors, input), waybar (every module × both panel positions × both form factors), walker (every launcher mode), idle, nightlight, notifications (mako). Reconcile `docs/KEYBINDINGS.md` against runtime.
+6. **Apps** — `features/apps/*`. Each app: launches, themed via Stylix, configured as expected. Catches the "we package it but nobody configured it" class.
+7. **Theme engine + palettes** — `nomarchy-theme-set` across all 22 palettes, font and wallpaper switchers, light-mode toggle. Verify per-palette Stylix targets render correctly across SDDM, Plymouth, GTK, Qt, terminals, browsers, waybar, walker.
+8. **Scripts (runtime behavior)** — Pillar 3 confirmed existence; this sweep runs every user-visible script (especially every `nomarchy-menu` entry) on current NixOS and confirms it actually does the thing.
+9. **ISOs** — boot `nomarchy-installer` and `nomarchy-live`; verify the `nomarchy-test-live-iso` flow; check the installer ISO ships every tool `install.sh` calls (regression class: `hardware-db.sh` missing, already shipped).
+10. **Lib + state schema** — `lib/state-schema.nix`, color resolution, path helpers. Cross every codepath that produces `state.json` (installer, welcome wizard, hand-edit) against the schema; confirm bad inputs are rejected with a useful message.
+
+Per-PR deliverable:
+
+- PR body lists what was tested, what was broken, what was fixed inline, what was deferred (with the new roadmap row linked).
+- Doc updates ride with the change per `docs/AGENT.md` §5.4.
+- Don't bundle fixes across components — keep one component per branch so reviewers can spot-check end-to-end without context-switching.
+
+Pillar is **done** when every component has a closed `wave/qa-<component>` PR and the roadmap captures every deferred finding.
