Check / eval (push) Has been cancelled
refactor(#107): theme-state.json → state.json, theme-sync → state-sync
The machine flake's git-tracked settings file is system state, not
"theme" only — rename it to state.json. CLI becomes nomarchy-state-sync
with a nomarchy-theme-sync symlink for scripts and muscle memory.

Eval (mkFlake, doctor, lifecycle) still accepts theme-state.json; the
next write migrates to state.json and removes the legacy file.
Documented in MIGRATION.md; drop the CLI alias after release notes.

My Nomarchy machine

This directory is the single source of truth for a Nomarchy machine flake. nix flake init -t … copies it as-is; nomarchy-install copies the same files and only patches install-time values (username, hostname, keyboard, detected hardware, password hash, …). Keep commented opt-ins and home.packages here — do not invent a second catalog in the installer.

  1. Overwrite the placeholder hardware config with the real one: nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix
  2. Set flake.nix up once (Nomarchy repo URL, your username, optionally a hardwareProfile from https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware — an unknown name fails the rebuild with suggestions). After that the flake is never touched again: your machine lives in system.nix (hostname, services — the login user is created from username automatically) and home.nix (your packages).
  3. git init && git add -A — flakes only see tracked files, including state.json.
  4. System: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default
  5. Desktop: nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me (afterwards just home-manager switch --flake .#me — it's installed)
  6. Clone/symlink this directory to ~/.nomarchy (or export NOMARCHY_PATH) so nomarchy-state-sync knows where the state lives.

Day-to-day:

nomarchy-state-sync list             # 24 shipped presets
nomarchy-state-sync apply gruvbox    # writes state + home-manager switch
nomarchy-state-sync bg next          # cycle wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)

The system layer only needs nixos-rebuild when you change system.nix.
