Bernardo Magri 034da701a3 feat(system): add laptop power preset module
New `nomarchy.system.laptop.{enable,thermald}` options. `enable`
defaults to `formFactor == "laptop"`, so the installer's existing
formFactor write auto-flips the preset on without installer changes.

The module wires TLP (governors + 75/80 charge thresholds),
force-disables power-profiles-daemon (mutually exclusive with TLP),
enables upower and thermald (x86_64), adds the brightnessctl udev
rule so the existing brightness scripts work without root, and sets
a logind lid-switch policy that resolves to suspend-then-hibernate
when `hibernation.enable` is on, plain suspend otherwise.

Closes the "Form-factor → laptop preset auto-enable" Now item and
the "Laptop preset module" Next item from docs/ROADMAP.md in one
change.

# Nomarchy Roadmap
This is the mid-term plan for Nomarchy. It exists so future sessions — human or agent — can pick up work without re-deriving context. Items move from **Now****Next****Later** as priorities shift, and from any column into **Shipped** at the bottom when done. There are no dates: ship-when-ready.
If you're new here, also read [`docs/STRUCTURE.md`](STRUCTURE.md) and [`docs/OPTIONS.md`](OPTIONS.md). Existing-NixOS users should also read [`docs/MIGRATION.md`](MIGRATION.md).
## 1. Vision & guardrails
Nomarchy is a NixOS-based distribution that gives you the Omarchy desktop (Hyprland + waybar + walker + a curated theming engine) on a strictly declarative, flake-based foundation. Goal: power-user polish without giving up reproducibility.
Guardrails (apply when adding anything):
- **Declarative-first.** No imperative state in `core/`. Anything mutable lives in `~/.config/nomarchy/state.json` or in NixOS options.
- **Downstream-flake friendly.** Every behavior toggle is a `nomarchy.*` option documented in `docs/OPTIONS.md`. Adding a feature without a corresponding option is a bug.
- **Opt-in by default.** New features default off (or default to the existing behavior). The installer can flip defaults for the user, but the option must read sensibly when set by hand.
- **Reuse before invent.** Before adding a script, grep `core/system/scripts/`, `features/scripts/utils/`, and `themes/engine/scripts/` — there are ~155 of them, and many of the things you want already exist.
## 2. Now / Next / Later board
### Now (ready to pick up)
- (empty — pick the top of **Next**.)
### Next (bigger lifts that build on Now)
- **Desktop preset module.** CPU governor `performance` by default, no battery widget (already done), ZFS-friendly defaults for users who later add a pool.
- **Accessibility preset.** Larger cursor, slower key-repeat defaults, `services.orca`, screen reader keybinding, high-contrast theme variant.
- **Gaming preset.** `programs.steam.enable`, `programs.gamemode.enable`, `services.flatpak.enable` with a curated remote, and a Hyprland window-rule to fullscreen Steam-launched apps.
- **First-run welcome wizard.** Extend `nomarchy-welcome` from a one-shot greeter into a guided picker: theme, panel position, monospace font, "what's a sane home.nix to start with?". Runs once, persists "done" in `state.json`.
- **Plymouth theme variants per palette.** Currently one Plymouth theme; could template per-palette so the boot splash matches the active theme.
- **`docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`.** The five most common rebuild errors (`option ... already declared`, `attribute ... missing`, Stylix target conflicts, home-manager backupFileExtension churn, impermanence path missing) with copy-paste fixes.
- **Installer pre-flight resume polish.** If the user Ctrl-Cs mid-install and runs `--resume`, re-show the review screen before re-prompting for any unsaved fields.
### Later (speculative or research-shaped)
- **Declarative-state migration.** Move the bits of `state.json` that don't actually need runtime mutability (theme, font, isLightMode) into NixOS / home-manager options, leaving only genuinely runtime-only state behind. Reduces the "two sources of truth" surface.
- **Rolling vs pinned channel choice in the installer.** Today the generated flake pins `nomarchy` to a rev. Offer a "rolling" option that follows `main` and a `nomarchy-rollback` helper for stuck rebuilds.
- **Theme creation wizard.** A `nomarchy-theme-new` script that scaffolds a new palette from a base16 hex set (or by sampling a wallpaper), runs `nomarchy-themes-prebuild`, and opens a PR template.
- **CI matrix on Forgejo Actions.** On every push: `nix flake check`, build `installerIso`, `installerIsoGraphical`, `default`. On tag: publish ISOs as release artefacts.
- **Golden-image VM tests per palette.** A `nixosTest` per palette that boots the `default` config, takes a screenshot, and diffs against a golden image. Catches Stylix regressions before they hit users.
- **Forgejo release pipeline.** `vYY.MM.x` tags matching the upstream NixOS channel; the pipeline pushes the three ISOs and an updated `flake.lock` snapshot.
- **Optional `nomarchy-installer-vm`** rebuilt as a real flake app (not a one-off shell script) so users can install Nomarchy into a libvirt VM declaratively.
- **Surface support module** via the relevant `nixos-hardware` profile + Surface kernel patches behind a `nomarchy.hardware.isSurface` toggle.
## 3. Pillar: Script & menu audit
Nomarchy ships **~155** `nomarchy-*` scripts across three directories, plus a 379-line `nomarchy-menu` with 23 submenu functions. Some are first-class Nomarchy work; some are direct Omarchy ports that haven't been adapted; some are dangling references the menu calls but no script implements (e.g. `nomarchy-backup`, `nomarchy-debug`, `nomarchy-pkg`, `nomarchy-pkg-aur-add`, `nomarchy-plymouth`, `nomarchy-refresh-hyprland`, `nomarchy-reinstall`, `nomarchy-rollback`, `nomarchy-screenrecord-filename`, `nomarchy-theme`, `nomarchy-update-firmware`, `nomarchy-upload-log`, `nomarchy-version`, `nomarchy-wallpaper`, `nomarchy-skill`, `nomarchy-luks`).
This pillar fixes that. It runs as two phases.
### Phase A — Inventory & triage
Lands as a single PR. Output is `docs/SCRIPTS.md` populated with rows for every script and every menu item.
1. Run a generator (one-shot helper, doesn't have to be checked in) that produces three lists:
- All `nomarchy-*` scripts under `core/system/scripts/`, `features/scripts/utils/`, `themes/engine/scripts/`.
- All `nomarchy-*` *callers* (grep `core/`, `features/`, `themes/`, `installer/`, `bin/`).
- The set difference (orphaned callers ↔ unreferenced scripts).
2. Walk `features/scripts/utils/nomarchy-menu` and list every menu entry with its target script.
3. Tag each row with a status:
- `kept` — works on Nomarchy, no change needed.
- `port-from-omarchy` — exists upstream, needs adapting (drop pacman/yay/AUR, repath to NixOS, talk to `nomarchy.system.*` options).
- `delete-dead` — neither used nor needed; remove and update callers.
- `stub-with-notify` — temporarily replace with a `notify-send "Not yet implemented in Nomarchy"` so the menu stops looking broken until the work is scheduled.
- `unknown` — needs a deeper look before tagging.
4. The completed table lives at [`docs/SCRIPTS.md`](SCRIPTS.md). The roadmap links to it; this section just sets the methodology.
### Phase B — Adapt or remove
Lands as PR batches of ~10 scripts each, branch named `wave/audit-<batch>`. Per script:
- For `port-from-omarchy`: rewrite the script for Nomarchy paths (`/etc/nixos`, `nixos-rebuild`, `home-manager`, no Arch idioms), wire it into `nomarchy.system.*` where applicable, and update every caller (menu, waybar, keybindings).
- For `delete-dead`: `git rm` the script *and* fix every caller — a `find` + `sed` pass against `nomarchy-menu`, every `*.conf`, and every nix file.
- For `stub-with-notify`: write the one-liner stub in place. The roadmap row stays open until the real implementation lands.
Each PR description should reference the row(s) in `docs/SCRIPTS.md` it closes, and reviewers spot-check that no caller still points at a stale name.
## 4. Pillar: Installer
- Software-profile multi-select (Now).
- Richer disk metadata (Shipped).
- Form-factor → laptop preset (Now, depends on Pillar 5).
- `disko-golden.nix` variants for software-RAID and BTRFS-pool-as-root.
- Pre-flight resume polish (Next).
- "What's installed?" summary screen on boot of a freshly-installed system, sourced from `state.json` + `nomarchy-system-scripts` introspection.
- Optional non-LUKS branch in the installer for users who explicitly opt out of FDE.
## 5. Pillar: Power, hardware, presets
- Laptop preset (Next): TLP, upower, brightness, lid, hypridle tuning.
- Desktop preset (Next): performance governor, no laptop UI (already filtered), ZFS hooks.
- Accessibility preset (Next).
- Gaming preset (Next).
- Vendor matchers in `installer/hardware-db.sh`: Steam Deck, Surface, ROG Ally, Snapdragon X laptops.
- Surface support behind `nomarchy.hardware.isSurface` (Later).
- Auto-detect dGPU presence and offer `programs.envycontrol`-style switching for the hybrid case (already gated behind `nomarchy.system.features.hybridGPU`, but the wiring is minimal).
## 6. Pillar: Onboarding & docs
- `nomarchy-welcome` first-run wizard (Next).
- `docs/KEYBINDINGS.md` auto-generator (Shipped).
- `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md` (Next).
- `docs/index.md` (or just enrich `README.md`) so `OPTIONS.md`, `STRUCTURE.md`, `MIGRATION.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, `SCRIPTS.md`, and `creating-themes.md` are all one click from the front page.
- `nomarchy-manual` — orphaned reference today; either implement as a curated `xdg-open` to the docs index, or delete.
## 7. Pillar: Test, CI, release
- Forgejo Actions workflow:
- on every push to `main`: `nix flake check` (≈ what we run by hand today).
- on every PR: also build all three ISOs (cache hit on most of them).
- on tag `vYY.MM.x`: publish ISOs as release artefacts.
- Versioning scheme: `vYY.MM.x` matching the upstream NixOS channel (e.g. `v25.11.3`).
- `nixosTest` per palette: boots `default` in a VM, screenshots the SDDM splash and the Hyprland desktop, diffs vs golden. Failure surfaces as CI red.
- A small `bin/utils/nomarchy-bench-iso-build` that records ISO build time + size into a per-commit JSON so we notice regressions.
## 8. Process notes
- **Branch naming:** `wave/<pillar>-<short-slug>`. Examples: `wave/audit-pkg-scripts`, `wave/installer-disk-metadata`, `wave/laptop-preset`.
- **One PR per audit batch.** Reference rows in `docs/SCRIPTS.md`. Smaller PRs review faster.
- **Living roadmap.** When an item ships, move it to the **Shipped** section at the bottom of this file rather than deleting it. Future-us gets a free changelog.
- **Plan files live separately.** Detailed implementation plans (the per-feature design docs Claude writes in plan mode) belong under `~/.claude/plans/` per session, not in the repo. The roadmap is the durable reference; plan files are working notes.
- **Don't widen scope mid-PR.** If the audit reveals a missing feature, file a new roadmap row, don't graft it onto the current PR.
## Shipped
(Move items here when they land — keep them brief, link the commit/PR.)
- _2026-04-26_ — Laptop preset module (`core/system/laptop.nix`). New `nomarchy.system.laptop.{enable,thermald}` options; `enable` defaults to `formFactor == "laptop"` so the installer's existing `formFactor` write auto-flips it on. Wires TLP (governors + 75/80 charge thresholds), force-disables `power-profiles-daemon`, enables `upower` and `thermald` (x86_64), adds the brightnessctl udev rule for backlight without root, and sets a logind lid-switch policy that defers to `hibernation.enable`. Closes both the Now item and the largest Next item.
- _2026-04-25_ — Software-profile multi-select in the installer. Users can now pick Dev, Gaming, Office, Media, and CLI Utils profiles during install; logic emits corresponding `home.packages` and system toggles into the generated config.
- _2026-04-25_ — Pillar 3 Phase B: script & menu audit. Ported/implemented/stubbed ~40 scripts including `nomarchy-version`, `nomarchy-debug`, `nomarchy-reinstall`, `nomarchy-rollback`, `nomarchy-update-firmware`, `nomarchy-pkg-*`, and `nomarchy-theme-*` wrappers. Moved desktop scripts to packaged utility directory.
- _2026-04-25_ — Docker & fwupd support. Added `nomarchy.system.virtualization.docker.enable` and `nomarchy.hardware.fwupd` options. Wires system services and adds `docker-compose` and `fwupdmgr` to PATH.
- _2026-04-25_ — Installer VM testing. Added `installerVm` to flake nixosConfigurations, packages, and apps. `nomarchy-test-installer` now uses `nix run .#installerVm`.
- _2026-04-25_ — `docs/KEYBINDINGS.md` auto-generator. New repo-tooling script `bin/utils/nomarchy-docs-keybindings` parses every `bindd =` / `bindeld =` line into a Markdown doc; README's keybinding table slimmed to highlights + link.
- _2026-04-25_ — Installer disk picker shows NAME / SIZE / TYPE / VENDOR / MODEL / SERIAL columns instead of bare `lsblk`. Type derived from `ROTA` + `TRAN` (NVMe / USB / SSD / HDD). Filters loop, ram, zram, sr.
- _2026-04-25_ — Pillar 3 Phase A: script & menu audit. New `bin/utils/nomarchy-docs-scripts` generator produces `docs/SCRIPTS.md` with 136 scripts and the menu walk pre-tagged via heuristics (`kept` / `unused?` / `missing`). Phase B (per-batch porting / removal) opens.
- _2026-04-25_ — Installer prompts for keyboard layout + locale, applies live; new `nomarchy.{system,}.formFactor` option; waybar drops battery widget on desktop; nm-applet visibility fix in default theme; live-ISO baseline keymap/locale (`a7e7fa9`).
- _2026-04-25_ — `docs/OPTIONS.md` reference; `docs/MIGRATION.md` linked from `README.md` (`3cb012b`, `6ef28f0`).
