Answering "how do I give you root": you don't. tools/plymouth-preview.sh renders the splash — LUKS dialog included — into X11 windows in ~10s with no reboot, no root and no DRM: - unshare -rm = user + mount namespace; every mount dies with it. - /run/plymouth is BOTH the socket dir and the compiled-in plugin path (`strings plymouthd` → /run/plymouth/plugins/), so we bind a writable dir over it AND recreate its symlinks — miss those and plymouth can't find x11.so, silently skips X11 and reaches for a tty. - never pass --tty (main.c:2133 takes the X11 path only while default_tty is unset); /dev/dri is masked so a preview physically cannot mode-set a real output — which matters on a docked session (#127). - PLY_CREATE_FAKE_MULTI_HEAD_SETUP fakes 800x600 + 640x480 heads. - debug wants plymouth.debug=stream: — `file:` buffers and yields nothing. What it proved immediately: with a STABLE two-head canvas the current theme centres correctly on both heads. So the geometry is fine and #137 really is the timing bug (positions frozen at parse time vs a canvas that resizes when a head arrives) — recorded in the item. And it caught my own fix: hoisting positions into layout() rendered the background on both heads and nothing else — no logo, no bar — with NO parse error logged. Reverted rather than shipped, because that script draws the passphrase box on an encrypted machine. #137 carries the failure, the prime suspect (plymouth script scope: assignment lands in `local` unless the name already exists) and the fast edit/render loop for the next attempt.

Agent instructions + loop state
Everything an AI agent needs to work on Nomarchy, vendor-neutral and git-tracked. Protocol: LOOP.md. Entry point for every harness: repo-root AGENTS.md.
Instructions (how to work)
| File | Who writes | Role |
|---|---|---|
| LOOP.md | Human | One-iteration protocol (orient → pick → work → verify → commit → record) + the V0–V3 ladder |
| VERIFICATION.md | Human (agents propose) | Enforcement: preflight, honesty rules, visual protocol, hardware-blocked checks, reporting |
| DELEGATION.md | Human (agents propose) | Capability tiers, scout/runner roles, token economy, parallel fan-out |
| GOALS.md | Human (agents propose) | Pillars, quality bars, non-goals |
| CONVENTIONS.md | Human (agents propose) | How to write code/menu/state while shipping |
| THEME-DESIGN.md | Human (agents propose) | Theme/visual design instructions |
State (what's happening)
| File | Who writes | Role |
|---|---|---|
| BACKLOG.md | Both | Prioritized queue — only executable work list |
| JOURNAL.md | Agents | Append-only iteration log (read last 3–5 entries; older → JOURNAL-ARCHIVE.md) |
| MEMORY.md | Agents | Curated durable gotchas |
| HARDWARE-QUEUE.md | Agents append, human checks | On-hardware V3 tests only Bernardo can run |
Product / design docs (not a queue)
| File | Role |
|---|---|
| ../docs/VISION.md | v1.0 product themes — agents slice into BACKLOG PROPOSED |
| ../docs/ROADMAP.md | Design history + shipped log |
| ../docs/README.md | Full docs map |
Harness adapters (vendor-specific, thin)
Shared content never lives in an adapter — adapters only register/route into the files above, in whatever format their harness requires.
| Path | Harness | Role |
|---|---|---|
| ../AGENTS.md | any | Entry point (CLAUDE.md is a symlink to it) |
| ../.claude/settings.json | Claude Code | Tool permissions |
| ../.claude/agents/ | Claude Code | nomarchy-scout / nomarchy-runner role defs (contracts in DELEGATION.md) |
Do not put backlog items, vision text, or policy under an adapter directory — it is not shared with other agent runners.
Rules of thumb
- Execute from BACKLOG only (NOW → NEXT; never PROPOSED without human triage).
- Orient with GOALS + CONVENTIONS + MEMORY + last journal + BACKLOG; when the task is product-shaped, also read the relevant VISION §.
- Record lasting design in ROADMAP ✓ when something ships that future humans should know; delete the BACKLOG line.
- v1 branch is human-only — never advance from an agent session.
