# Journal — append-only iteration log
One entry per iteration, **newest first**. This is the loop's short-term
memory: the next session reads the last 35 entries to orient. Keep an
entry under ~15 lines; durable lessons go to MEMORY.md, not here. When
this file grows past ~25 entries, rotate the tail to

```markdown
## YYYY-MM-DD — <task title> (<commit sha, or "no commit">)
- **Task:** which BACKLOG item (or QA sweep / bootstrap / escalation)
- **Did:** what changed, in 24 lines
- **Verified:** tier reached (V0/V1/V2) + the actual commands/checks run
- **Pending:** V3 queued? follow-ups filed? anything [stuck]?
- **Next suggestion:** what the following iteration should probably take
```
---
## 2026-07-11 — #82 generation readability
- **Task:** NEXT #82 — plain-language “what changed last rebuild”.
- **Did:** `pkgs/nomarchy-what-changed` (nvd → “N added, M removed, K
updated”); wired into lifecycle post-`nomarchy-rebuild` / `nomarchy-home`
(full nvd + notify toast); System What changed? (toast + floating
full report). `checks.what-changed` with NOMARCHY_NVD fixture. Closed #82.
- **Verified:** **V2** — checks.what-changed green; local smoke on real
HM gens (“Desktop: 1 added, 1 removed”) + fixture counts.
- **Pending:** —
- **Next suggestion:** #83 doctor pre-activate fail flag or #85 docs.
## 2026-07-11 — #81 first-boot welcome toast
- **Task:** NEXT #81 — dismissible “you're set” card (`VISION § B`).
- **Did:** `pkgs/nomarchy-first-boot` + user oneshot
(`modules/home/first-boot.nix`): notify once with SUPER+M/T/? + Network
+ Doctor pointers; marker `settings.firstBootShown` via theme-sync
`--no-switch` (in-checkout state). Skip live hostname. Option
`nomarchy.firstBootWelcome.enable` (default on). `checks.first-boot`.
ROADMAP/VISION/README; closed #81.
- **Verified:** **V2**`nix flake check --no-build`; `checks.first-boot`
green (toast + marker + silent re-run + live skip); local shim smoke;
downstream-template-home carries the user unit.
- **Pending:** V3 — real swaync rendering on first installed login
(toast body is pure text; not queued unless it misbehaves).
- **Next suggestion:** #82 generation readability or #85 docs hall of fame.
## 2026-07-11 — #80 doctor battery health readout
- **Task:** NEXT #80 — battery health in `nomarchy-doctor` (`VISION § C`).
- **Did:** Doctor row: `cycle_count` + retained capacity
(`charge_full`/`design` or `energy_*`) as `% of design`; system
batteries only; soft warn &lt;70% design; skip when attrs absent.
`NOMARCHY_POWER_SUPPLY_ROOT` for the VM fixture. Extended
`checks.doctor` (fake BAT0 + Device-scope MOUSE0 ignore). HARDWARE §10,
ROADMAP ✓, VISION ✓; closed #80.
- **Verified:** **V2**`nix flake check --no-build`; `checks.doctor`
green; local smoke on real BAT0 (342 cycles, 81% via energy_*) + fixture.
- **Pending:** Power-menu surface left optional/out of scope (doctor is
the product surface for report-only health).
- **Next suggestion:** #81 first-boot welcome card (highest product ROI)
or #85 docs-only hall of fame.
## 2026-07-11 — Triage: VISION-gap PROPOSED → NEXT #80#85 (Bernardo)
- **Task:** Bernardo promoted five of the six fresh VISION-gap pitches
(all but the wallpapers split, which stays LATER).
- **Did:** NEXT gains #80 battery health readout, #81 first-boot welcome
card, #82 generation readability, #83 doctor pre-activate fail flag,
#84 dock life polish `[big]`, #85 hardware hall of fame. PROPOSED
placeholder left. **No implementation started** (explicit instruction).
- **Verified:** V0 (backlog only).
- **Pending:** —
- **Next suggestion:** #80 (smallest) or #81 (highest product ROI); #84
must be split first.
## 2026-07-11 — Quick wins: exit-node locations + geo tooltip
- **Task:** BACKLOG LATER "VPN exit-node richer display" + a geo-mode
tooltip nit from the previous iteration (human asked for quick wins).
- **Did:** Tailscale Exit node picker rows now "hostname — Country City",
sliced by the header's fixed-width column offsets (COUNTRY/CITY are
multi-word; never field-split), locationless nodes stay bare, pick strips
back to hostname at the first space. Nightlight Waybar tooltip says
"follows your location" in geo mode. Queue's VPN entry updated.
- **Verified:** V1 — awk proven against a fabricated 3-case fixture
(Mullvad 1-word + multi-word city + bare node); flake check exit 0;
downstream-template-home builds (writeShellScriptBin syntax-gates both
scripts). Real tailscale output is V3 (existing VPN queue entry).
- **Pending:** V3 VPN menu live paths (extended, not new).
- **Next suggestion:** wallpapers artifact split (LATER, decided).
## 2026-07-11 — Night-light geo mode (lat/long → wlsunset)
- **Task:** BACKLOG LATER "Night-light geo mode" (human-picked).
- **Did:** `nomarchy.nightlight.latitude`/`.longitude` (both set = geo mode):
`services.wlsunset` (location-computed sunrise/sunset, `.temperature`
night temp) replaces hyprsunset; the toggle script's `unit=` and the
live-state ExecCondition follow via one `unit` let-binding. Template
example lines, README row, ROADMAP ✓. New `checks.nightlight-geo`:
pure-eval asserts on the rendered units (coords + temp in ExecStart,
ExecCondition present, hyprsunset off). Declarative-only (no menu writer —
coords are machine config like keyboard layout).
- **Verified:** V1 — `nix flake check --no-build` exit 0 (evals the new
asserts + option-docs); built `downstream-template-home` (default
hyprsunset path unregressed) + the check drv. Caught en route: HM renders
`ExecStart` as a list (`toString` needed in eval asserts).
- **Pending:** V3 queued (HARDWARE-QUEUE § Any machine): visible warm shift
at location night + toggle/persistence on the swapped unit.
- **Next suggestion:** wallpapers artifact split (LATER, decided).
## 2026-07-11 — Sync-sweep rule + grooming + zram user docs (human-requested)
- **Task:** Bernardo: groom stale items and codify the check so they don't
recur; close the zram user-doc gap.
- **Did:** LOOP.md §5 gains step 4 **Sync sweep** (grep item/feature across
agent/+docs/ on ship; prune recorded `[x]` queue entries) + an AGENTS.md
rule line. Applied it: BACKLOG PROPOSED pruned (auto-theme pitch was
stale — shipped as #79; shipped/promoted placeholders removed; v1.0
pointer rewritten; FUTURE promoted-stub dropped). HARDWARE-QUEUE pruned
29 checked `[x]` entries (363→~250 lines), dangling refs reworded,
prune rule in header. README §3 now documents the zram default +
hibernation out-of-the-box + MIGRATION pointer.
- **Verified:** V0 (docs/meta only) — grep sweep for dangling refs clean.
- **Pending:** night-light geo mode next (same session).
- **Next suggestion:** wallpapers artifact split (LATER, decided).
## 2026-07-11 — Vendor-neutral agent docs restructure (human-requested)
- **Task:** Bernardo: de-vendor the agent instructions (multi-model repo),
clean stale files, better docs/agent/.claude structure.
- **Did:** New root `AGENTS.md` entry (CLAUDE.md → symlink). Skill bodies
moved to `agent/`: VERIFICATION.md (enforcement, ex-nomarchy skill),
DELEGATION.md (tiers light/standard/frontier + scout/runner contracts +
fan-out; consolidates CLAUDE.md table + LOOP §economy + skill §6.5),
THEME-DESIGN.md (ex-theme skill, now with frontmatterd shim). `.claude/`
is a thin adapter (shims route into `agent/`). Maps updated (agent/,
docs/, README tree). Stale: `.gitignore` old_distro entry dropped; local
result*/__pycache__ removed. JOURNAL rotated (29 kept, 120 →
JOURNAL-ARCHIVE.md).
- **Verified:** V0 — `nix flake check --no-build` exit 0 with the symlink
tracked; vendor-name grep clean outside DELEGATION's mapping table.
- **Pending:** nothing; other harnesses add their own adapter row when used.
- **Next suggestion:** #76/#79 remain [blocked:hw]; otherwise groom PROPOSED.
## 2026-07-11 — #76 checks.hibernate-swapfile (VM-verify the swapfile+offset)
- **Task:** Bernardo — push #76's swapfile-resume residual into a VM (like
the auto-theme sunset trick).
- **Did:** Tried a full runtime-swapfile hibernate→resume test; it hit a
bounded, definitive **`CanHibernate=no`** — systemd won't hibernate to a
swap that isn't declared in the boot config, and a runtime-computed
`resume_offset` can't reach the boot cmdline (the genuine chicken-and-egg).
First cut also had an **unbounded `wait_for_shutdown`** that hung → killed
it, bounded the wait in a thread (180s) + a `CanHibernate` pre-check, which
is what surfaced the clean verdict. Pivoted `checks.hibernate-swapfile` to
what a VM *can* prove deterministically and the partition test can't: the
installer swapfile **build + offset** — NOCOW `mkswapfile`, file-type
swapon, valid `map-swapfile -r` offset accepted by `/sys/power/resume_offset`,
zram above it. (Device fix: `/dev/vdb` once `useNixStoreImage` was dropped.)
- **Verified:** **V2 PASS** (fresh build, exit 0). BACKLOG/ROADMAP updated;
#76 residual narrowed to the literal encrypted power-cycle (dev box runs it).
- **Lesson:** the sunset-trick spirit applies but not always the full cycle —
when systemd/kernel gates the behaviour (CanHibernate), verify the
*construction* deterministically and leave only the physical cycle to HW.
Always bound `wait_for_shutdown` (no timeout param → thread + join).
- **Next suggestion:** #76/#79 both `[blocked:hw]`; QA / PROPOSED otherwise.
## 2026-07-11 — Code-review fixes (parallel review of the session batch)
- **Task:** Bernardo asked for parallel work; spawned a fresh-eyes opus
review of `2055842..HEAD` (static). It found the batch sound — 2 real LOW
edge bugs, 1 false positive, 1 cosmetic.
- **Did:** (1) `cmd_auto` — inverted sunrise/sunset (sunrise > sunset) went
perpetually day; replaced the `not between` shortcut with a real
wrap-around `mins >= sunrise or mins < sunset`, so a cross-midnight day
window switches both ways. (2) `rofi.nix` autotheme HH:MM guard tightened
`[0-2][0-9]``[01][0-9]|2[0-3]` so 2429 are rejected. Dismissed the
`breeze` finding (papirus DOES ship breeze/breeze-dark — verified) and the
cosmetic doctor-RAM one.
- **Verified:** py_compile; boundary truth-table (normal + wrap-around);
HH:MM case table (23:00/19:59/20:00 accept, 24/25/30:00 reject); `auto
--which` normal-case unchanged; menu bash -n; flake check green. Normal
case unchanged so `checks.auto-theme` still holds.
- **Pending:** hibernate-swapfile VM test still running (uncommitted flake.nix).
- **Next suggestion:** land hibernate-swapfile once its VM test returns.
## 2026-07-10 — #79 V2: checks.auto-theme (simulated sunset) — was mis-framed V3
- **Task:** Bernardo challenged the "V3 real-session" framing — a simulated
sunset IS VM-testable. He's right; I'd conflated "needs a real desktop"
with "needs the generic home-manager switch."
- **Did:** Added `checks.auto-theme` runNixOSTest: installs nomarchy-theme-sync,
points `NOMARCHY_DEFAULT_THEMES` at presets, stubs the switch via
`NOMARCHY_REBUILD` (a marker), configures the pair+schedule, then **walks
the VM clock** 19:55→20:05→20:06→next-day 07:30 asserting slug goes
summer-day → night (1 rebuild) → night (idempotent, still 1) → day (2). The
self-gating I relied on: presets via env, wallpaper/notify no-op headless,
run_switch honors NOMARCHY_REBUILD + waybar nudge is check=False.
- **Verified:** **V2 PASS**`nix build .#checks…auto-theme` fresh, exit 0.
Dropped #79's `[blocked:hw]`; it's done (V2). Updated ROADMAP.
- **Lesson:** don't default "timer/session feature" to V3 — stub only the
generic step (the real HM switch, covered elsewhere) and simulate the rest
(clock) headlessly. Only the literal timer-fires-on-OnCalendar is on-HW,
and its schedule is systemd-analyze-validated.
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT head #76 `[blocked:hw]`; else QA / PROPOSED.
## 2026-07-10 — #79 slice 3: Look & Feel Auto theme menu (#79 complete)
- **Task:** BACKLOG #79 slice 3 — the menu; completes the feature.
- **Did:** `rofi.nix` — "Auto theme (on/off)" row in Look & Feel + an
`autotheme)` submenu: toggle, pick day/night (from
`nomarchy-theme-sync list`), set sunrise/sunset (HH:MM input, validated).
Enable writes the flag + defaults the summer pair `--no-switch`, then
`exec auto --force` — one rebuild installs the timer AND applies the right
theme. Disable is instant `--no-switch` (`auto` self-gates; the lingering
timer no-ops). Day/night/times are live `--no-switch`.
- **Verified:** **V1** — HM generation builds (`writeShellScriptBin` bash -n
on nomarchy-menu passes) + bash -n on the built menu. **Logic test**
(stubbed rofi/theme-sync/notify): selecting "Auto theme (off)" runs exactly
`set day summer-day`, `set night summer-night`, `set enable true`
(all `--no-switch`), then `auto --force` — the intended one-rebuild path.
Disable path is static-clear (set false `--no-switch`, no `auto`); a
stateful-stub dynamic test would loop (stub doesn't reflect the flip). V0
flake check green. **#79 collapsed to `[blocked:hw]`** (all 3 slices done;
only live-session switch remains, needs a Nomarchy machine).
- **Pending:** V3 real-session (timer switches day↔night across sunset).
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT head #76/#79 both `[blocked:hw]`; QA/PROPOSED.
## 2026-07-10 — #79 slice 2: auto-theme systemd timer
- **Task:** BACKLOG #79 slice 2 — the timer/hook.
- **Did:** `modules/home/autotheme.nix` (imported in home default.nix):
`systemd.user.{service,timer}.nomarchy-auto-theme`, install gated on
`config.nomarchy.settings.autoTheme.enable or false` (state-driven, like
updates.nix gates on its enable). Service runs `nomarchy-theme-sync auto`
with a PATH for `home-manager`; timer `OnStartupSec=1min` +
`OnCalendar=*:0/15` + `Persistent`. Chose periodic over exact
sunrise/sunset timers — robust to suspend/DST, and `auto` is idempotent so
ticks are cheap (rebuild only at the transition).
- **Verified:** **V1** — real-config eval (state temp-enabled, restored):
`settings.autoTheme.enable`→true, timer `OnCalendar`=`*:0/15`, service
ExecStart=`… nomarchy-theme-sync auto`; disabled→no units (isolation eval
condition=false). `systemd-analyze calendar '*:0/15'` valid. **V0** flake
check green. (Gotcha: a new .nix file is invisible to the flake until
`git add` — flake eval only sees tracked files.)
- **Pending:** live timer→`home-manager switch` on a real Nomarchy session
(needs a Nomarchy machine, like #76). Slice 3 (menu) next.
- **Next suggestion:** #79 slice 3 — Look & Feel Auto theme menu.
## 2026-07-10 — #79 slice 1: auto time-of-day theme CLI primitive
- **Task:** Split BACKLOG #79 (`VISION § D`, `[big]`) into 3 slices (CLI /
timer / menu); took slice 1.
- **Did:** `nomarchy-theme-sync auto` — reads
`settings.autoTheme.{enable,day,night,sunrise,sunset}`, computes day/night
by the local clock, and applies the matching preset **only if different**
(idempotent → the slice-2 timer won't rebuild needlessly). `--which`
prints the decision without switching; `--force`/`--no-switch` too.
Factored `cmd_apply`'s core into `apply_named` so `auto` reuses the exact
same one engine (GOALS: no second pipeline).
- **Verified:** **V1** package builds; functional tests on the built bin
against scratch state: wide-day→day slug, 00:0000:01 window→night,
disabled→no-op, missing day/night→die, `auto --no-switch` writes state,
re-run→"already on" no-op, plain `apply` still writes (refactor intact).
**V0** py_compile + flake check + `checks.theme-sync-validate` green.
- **Pending:** slices 2 (systemd sunrise/sunset timers + login apply, V2)
and 3 (Look & Feel menu) remain under #79.
- **Next suggestion:** #79 slice 2 — the timer/hook (V2 runNixOSTest).
## 2026-07-10 — #78 Omarchy migrant doc (docs/OMARCHY.md)
- **Task:** BACKLOG #78 (promoted from PROPOSED) — Omarchy→Nomarchy
one-pager (`VISION § F`).
- **Did:** New `docs/OMARCHY.md`: leads with the config-model shift
(imperative dotfiles → declarative flake + menu, rollback via
generations), then install (ISO/`nomarchy-install` or MIGRATION.md),
a familiar-bindings table, theming (`SUPER+T`/`nomarchy-theme-sync`),
packages (home.packages / `nix shell`, no AUR), update+rollback
(`nomarchy-pull`/`-rebuild`/`-home`, boot-menu generations,
`nomarchy-doctor`). Added to `docs/README.md` map + VISION § F ✓.
- **Verified:** V0 (docs). Grounded Nomarchy side in code: pulled real
binds from `keybinds.nix`; confirmed all 7 cited commands, the `nsearch`
alias, and the named slugs (gruvbox/rose-pine/nord) exist. Kept
Omarchy-side claims to known facts (Arch, dotfiles, pacman/AUR).
- **Pending:** none.
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT head #76 `[blocked:hw]`; last open PROPOSED is
auto time-of-day theme pair (`§D`, `[big]` — needs splitting).
## 2026-07-10 — #77 doctor hibernate/sleep section (V2 PASS)
- **Task:** BACKLOG #77 (promoted from PROPOSED by Bernardo) — read-only
hibernate section in nomarchy-doctor (`VISION § C`, #76 follow-on).
- **Did:** Added a hibernate/sleep row group to `nomarchy-doctor.sh`: resume
device on cmdline (+ `resume_offset` for a swapfile), disk swap ≥ RAM,
zram active, previous-boot suspend/hibernate error. Self-gates (`skip` on
swap=0); only ok/warn/skip → never fails the sheet. Added `hibernate` to
the `checks.doctor` probe list.
- **Verified:** **V2 PASS**`checks.doctor` VM test green (fresh build,
exit 0; asserts the hibernate row renders + healthy run still 0). **V1**
ran on this box's real LUKS+@swap layout: all three `ok` rows render
(resume set, swap 34G ≥ RAM, zram 16G) and the sheet reaches its verdict.
**V0** bash -n + flake check.
- **Gotcha (fixed + MEMORY):** the doctor runs `set -euo pipefail`; my first
cut aborted before the verdict because a no-match `grep` inside `$(…)` and
a `cond && action` both trip set -e. Fixed with `|| true` / `|| echo 0` and
an `if`. First VM run caught it (exit 1, no verdict) — the test earned its keep.
- **Pending:** none — fully agent-verifiable (read-only checks, no V3).
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT head is #76 `[blocked:hw]`; remaining PROPOSED
(Omarchy doc §F, auto time-of-day theme §D) await triage.
## 2026-07-10 — QA sweep (clean) + VISION-gap pass → 3 PROPOSED
- **Task:** Bernardo — QA/drift sweep, then a VISION-gap pass with proposals.
- **Did (sweep):** Fanned out two subagents (Bernardo OK'd spawning for
efficiency): nomarchy-runner ran the deterministic checks + `bash -n`/
`py_compile` (all PASS; the 4 "needs-args" scripts pass via their flake
derivations); nomarchy-scout hunted fuzzy drift (dead code, stale refs,
TODOs, changed-area contradictions, count/version) — **all clean**.
Spot-checked scout's count claim myself: 24 theme JSONs / 24 previews /
README "24 presets" — consistent. Eval sweep green. **No fixes needed.**
- **Did (VISION):** Verified candidate gaps against the tree before
proposing (killed two false gaps — nomarchy-rebuild/home already tail logs
+ point at doctor on failure = §A shipped; `nvd diff` = §B covered; System
Firmware menu already exists). Filed 3 **PROPOSED** (verified open):
doctor hibernate/sleep section (§C, top Day-2 pick, #76 follow-on),
Omarchy migrant one-pager (§F), auto time-of-day theme pair (§D, `[big]`).
- **Verified:** V0 (agent-notes/docs only). Sweep evidence above.
- **Pending:** none. Proposals await Bernardo's triage into a tier.
- **Next suggestion:** if a PROPOSED is promoted, the doctor hibernate
section is the cleanest next build; else NEXT #76 stays `[blocked:hw]`.
## 2026-07-10 — Icon overrides: user-facing docs (OVERRIDES.md)
- **Task:** Bernardo asked whether the session's features need user docs.
- **Did:** Hibernation already covered (README swapfile line, MIGRATION.md
runbook, discoverable Power-menu row) — no gap. Icons had one: the only
doc was the template comment. Added an "Icon pack" subsection to
`docs/OVERRIDES.md` § Appearance — `nomarchy-theme-sync set icons "<name>"`,
the known-packs table, the ~1 GiB/opt-in rationale, and that the choice is
sticky across `apply` (presets carry no icon field; verified `deep_merge`).
- **Verified:** command path confirmed (`cmd_set` writes any dotted key;
`icons` is a schema key). **Built all 4 packs and listed real theme dirs**
to fix the examples — caught Qogir using capital `Qogir-Dark`/`Light`
(lowercase would silently fall back to hicolor). Docs-only (V0).
- **Pending:** none.
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT #76 `[blocked:hw]`; LATER/QA-sweep next.
## 2026-07-10 — Icon themes: opt-in cross-pack overrides (no default bloat)
- **Task:** LATER "per-theme icon overrides / more icon packs". Recon found
papirus is already ~1 GiB and ships only Papirus/Dark/Light (no free
variety); real variety needs extra packs at ~hundreds of MB each. Bernardo
chose the **opt-in, no-default-bloat** shape (over shipping packs).
- **Did:** `theme.nix` resolves `nomarchy.theme.iconThemePackage` from a
small `iconPacks` registry (papirus·tela·qogir·reversal·numix, by name
prefix). Default themes name `Papirus-*` → resolves to the *plain* papirus
derivation (no symlinkJoin, identical closure); only a theme naming another
pack's set symlinkJoins that one pack in. `stylix.nix` uses it
(mkDefault). Opt-in note in `templates/downstream/home.nix`; ROADMAP §
Icon themes updated (incl. the deliberate no-default-packs decision).
- **Verified:** **V1** — HM activationPackage builds (exit 0). Eval proofs:
default `iconThemePackage` = plain `papirus-icon-theme-*` (zero delta);
with `icons="Tela-dark"``nomarchy-icon-themes` symlinkJoin (papirus+tela)
and name flows, **without building tela**. All 5 pack attrs exist in the
pinned nixpkgs. `template-sot` + `option-docs` + `flake check` green.
- **Pending:** none. No default visual change (identical papirus), so no
screenshot needed; the opt-in render is the downstream user's to see.
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT still #76 `[blocked:hw]`; LATER/QA-sweep next.
## 2026-07-10 — #76 slice 3: hibernate VM test (V2 PASS) → #76 agent-complete
- **Task:** BACKLOG #76 slice 3 — the mandatory V2 hibernate test + V3 queue.
- **Did:** Added `checks.hibernate` (flake.nix), modeled on nixpkgs'
hibernate.nix but wired to Nomarchy's #76 risk: imports oom.nix (zram
default-on), disk swap at lower priority + explicit `boot.resumeDevice`,
systemd-initrd. Test drives hibernate→power-off→resume→crash: ramfs marker
survives resume, a crash-boot loses it (real resume, not a survivor), and
asserts zram@100 + disk-swap<100 so the image lands on disk not volatile
zram. Queued the V3 laptop steps (real LUKS+@swap+offset resume + no-swap
notify) in HARDWARE-QUEUE. Collapsed #76 to a `[blocked:hw]` stub; design
record → ROADMAP § "Hibernation + zram by default".
- **Verified:** **V2 PASS**`nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.hibernate`
built the driver fresh and exited 0 (all assertions held). `nix flake
check --no-build` green.
- **Pending:** only V3 (dev box / laptop) — #76's last check; close on PASS.
- **Next suggestion:** #76 is now blocked:hw; NEXT head falls to LATER/
PROPOSED triage or a QA sweep — pick per LOOP.md orientation next session.
## 2026-07-10 — #76 slice 2: Hibernate notify-on-failure
- **Task:** BACKLOG #76 remaining slice 2 — per the settled "keep row, notify
on failure" call.
- **Did:** `modules/home/rofi.nix` power menu Hibernate arm now runs
`systemctl hibernate 2>/dev/null || notify-send "Hibernate" "…see
docs/MIGRATION.md"`. On success the call blocks until resume, so the notify
only fires on a genuine failure (e.g. swap=0 no-swap machine). Row stays
unconditional (no hiding).
- **Verified:** **V1**`nix build …homeConfigurations.nomarchy.activationPackage`
green (rebuilds `nomarchy-menu.drv`; `writeShellScriptBin` runs bash -n at
build). Control-flow proof on the arm extracted from the built script:
failing `systemctl` → notify fires; succeeding → no notify. `nix flake
check --no-build` green.
- **Pending:** slice 3 = the V2 hibernate→resume VM test + V3 laptop
(Hibernate→power off→resume on the LUKS+@swap machine; plus confirm the
no-swap notify surfaces in a real session). Both remain open on #76.
- **Next suggestion:** slice 3 — add a `checks.*` hibernate VM test (as far
as QEMU allows) and queue the V3 laptop steps in HARDWARE-QUEUE.
## 2026-07-10 — #76 slice 1: MIGRATION.md hibernation runbook
- **Task:** BACKLOG #76 remaining slice 1 — docs runbook for enabling
hibernation on an existing machine (per the settled "docs not tool" call).
- **Did:** Added § "Enabling hibernation on an existing machine (no reinstall)"
to `docs/MIGRATION.md`: create `@swap` subvol (subvolid=5) + `mkswapfile`
(NOCOW), read `map-swapfile -r` offset, wire `fileSystems."/swap"` +
`swapDevices` + `resumeDevice` + `resume_offset` into system.nix. Flagged
the mount as required on the hand-edit path (installer gets it from
disko-gen hardware-config). Notes zram-priority reservation, no-LUKS
variant, `swap=0` opt-out. Worked example = this dev machine.
- **Verified:** **V0** — read-only commands run live against this machine's
real LUKS(`cryptroot`)+btrfs(`@`)+`/swap/swapfile` layout (RAM 31G, fsuuid,
`findmnt SOURCE`, `mkswapfile` flags, zram@100 vs swapfile@-1 confirms the
design intent). `nix flake check --no-build` green.
- **Pending:** slice 2 — Hibernate row notify-on-failure (V1/V2); then the
V2 hibernate VM test + V3 laptop.
- **Next suggestion:** slice 2 (menu notify-on-failure).
## 2026-07-10 — #76 hibernation design calls (no commit yet → this bookkeeping)
- **Task:** BACKLOG #76 design slice — Bernardo made the open calls.
- **Did:** Recon showed the hibernation half is **already built for new
installs** (installer defaults swap=RAM hibernation-ready `@swap` swapfile;
`patch-template.py` writes swapDevices/resumeDevice/resume_offset; Power
menu Hibernate row + LUKS/hyprlock handling exist). Settled 3 calls:
(1) swap sizing = **exactly RAM** (no change); (2) migration = **docs
runbook in MIGRATION.md**, not a tool; (3) no-swap Hibernate = **keep row,
notify on failure**. Folded into BACKLOG #76 (design ✓, re-sliced remaining:
MIGRATION.md runbook + notify-on-failure menu) and Decisions.
- **Verified:** **V0**`nix flake check --no-build` green (docs-only).
- **Pending:** two remaining slices below; V2 hibernate VM test + V3 laptop.
- **Next suggestion:** slice 1 — `docs/MIGRATION.md` hibernation-enable runbook
(V0), then slice 2 — Hibernate notify-on-failure (V1/V2).
## 2026-07-10 — #76 zram slice: compressed-RAM swap default
- **Task:** BACKLOG #76 (`[big]`) — split; took the low-risk zram-default slice.
- **Did:** `zramSwap` on by default in `modules/nixos/oom.nix` (zstd, 50% RAM,
priority 100) as the memory-pressure layer before earlyoom, following the
earlyoom mkDefault precedent (no toggle). High priority keeps day-to-day
paging in zram so a disk swapfile stays reserved for #76's hibernate image.
Added `checks.zram-swap` runNixOSTest (imports oom.nix). Split #76 in
BACKLOG → remainder is the hibernation half (swapfile/resume/installer).
- **Verified:** **V2**`nix build .#checks…zram-swap` PASS: /dev/zram0 active
in /proc/swaps, `[zstd]` comp_algorithm, priority 100. **V1** full distro
toplevel builds. **V0** flake check --no-build green.
- **Pending:** hibernation half of #76 still open (needs hibernate→resume VM
test + V3 laptop). No V3 for zram (under-load tuning is secondary).
- **Next suggestion:** #76 hibernation half — design default swapSize + the
resume/installer wiring; it's the boot-critical, V2-hibernate + V3 part.
## 2026-07-10 — #41 hardware-confirmed: OpenFile portal floats (V3 close)
- **Task:** BACKLOG #41 — final on-hardware confirmation (Bernardo reported PASS).
- **Did:** #41 already out of NEXT + portal rule shipped
(`hyprland.nix` xdg-desktop-portal-gtk float/center). Bernardo verified the
GTK OpenFile file-picker floats on real hardware; dropped the "OpenFile not
re-probed / optional residual" caveats in HARDWARE-QUEUE — #41 fully closed.
- **Verified:** **V3** (Bernardo, Latitude). No code change. Bookkeeping only;
QA-sweep guards run green this session: `nix flake check --no-build`,
option-docs/template-sot/theme-sync-validate builds, contrast 24×7.
- **Pending:** none for #41. NEXT head is #76 (hibernation + zram, `[big]`).
- **Next suggestion:** split #76 — take the low-risk **zram-default** slice
(V2-testable headlessly) before the boot-critical hibernate/resume work.
## 2026-07-10 — Close #41 GTK portal float rule
- **Task:** BACKLOG #41 residual (GTK file-chooser portal class).
- **Did:** Added float+center for `xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` /
`.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-wrapped` (desktop + libexec name from package).
Polkit already PASS on Latitude. Removed #41 from NEXT; only #20 remains.
- **Verified:** **V0** windowrule-syntax check path unchanged; class from
package `xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.desktop` / community configs. SoftGL
still cannot materialize portal dialogs.
- **Pending:** optional hardware spot-check OpenFile floats (HARDWARE-QUEUE).
- **Next suggestion:** #20 is `[human]` only — or LATER/PROPOSED triage.
## 2026-07-10 — Product calls: charge live, identity, btop, NVIDIA skip
- **Task:** Bernardo decisions on remaining PROPOSED.
- **Did:** (1) Instant charge-limit: udev GROUP=users on threshold,
menu/powermgmt live sysfs + state, oneshot reads live theme-state +
AC re-apply. (2) Look & Feel already had Theme/wallpaper/night light;
added Reset wallpaper (auto). (3) NVIDIA first-class deferred past v1
(HARDWARE.md). (4) Identity retunes: white L-steps, lumon subtext,
hackerman surface+UI warn/bad, matte-black subtext, miasma bad.
(5) Hand `btop.theme` for 9 identity/whole-swap slugs from palette map.
- **Verified:** **V0** contrast 24×7; **V1** battery-charge-limit VM
(udev restart). **V3** live charge write on real laptop (HARDWARE-QUEUE).
- **Next suggestion:** only #20/#41 blocked, or Decisions.
## 2026-07-10 — Summer pair polish + status CSS + preview recapture
- **Task:** finish agent-able PROPOSED theme leftovers.
- **Did:** summer-day/night — JSON hierarchy (night subtext/muted/overlay
ladder; day overlay≠muted); waybar CSS tokens track JSON roles; font
13px both; day battery 25/10; VPN pill + full status states
(.recording/.available/.on/.activated/battery warn). Recaptured
executive-slate + neon-glass `preview.png` via theme-shot desktop
(480×270). Closed those PROPOSED lines.
- **Verified:** **V0** contrast 24×7 + wholeswap; **V2** theme-shot
summer-day/night/executive-slate/neon-glass — viewed bar crops +
previews. Identity taste retunes stay PROPOSED.
- **Next suggestion:** only blocked NEXT (#20/#41) or product Decisions.
## 2026-07-10 — #74 matrix flags + #75 V2 install (default arm)
- **Task:** NEXT #74 unattended matrix · #75 SoT V2 install after ISO.
- **Did:** `NOMARCHY_TEST_SWAP_GB` / `NOMARCHY_TEST_NO_LUKS` drive
`tools/test-install.sh` go.sh + first-boot LUKS skip; nixpkgs OVMF
fallback. Full offline install V2 (SWAP=2 LUKS) after live ISO rebuild
with starter packages — first-boot themed Boreal, no red banner.
Closed #74/#75. Other matrix arms scripted (not full-ISO re-run).
- **Verified:** **V2** — install powered off ~460s; first-boot.png
viewed (`/tmp/nomarchy-vm-75/first-boot.png`): themed wallpaper +
waybar (logo, clock, modules), doctor glyph, no autogen banner.
- **Next suggestion:** NEXT only #20 [human] + #41 [blocked:hw].
## 2026-07-10 — Loop batch land #64#73 (parallel worktrees)
- **Task:** agent-actionable NEXT #64#73 via worktree agents; land on main.
- **Did:** #64 MIGRATION snapshots · #65 real-uid chown · #66 theme-state
fail-closed reader · #67/#68 theme fidelity+ANSI · #69/#70 audit+import
tools · #71 IR portal docs · #72 template-sot check · #73 MOTD/first-boot
fingerprint+doctor tips. Agents did not push; parent cherry-picked
(stripped agent BACKLOG races). Closed #64#73.
- **Verified:** **V0/V1** — theme-contrast 24×7 pass; template-sot green;
bash -n install; flake check --no-build green.
- **Next suggestion:** #74 unattended matrix + #75 V2 install (KVM).
## 2026-07-10 — Promote agent-actionable PROPOSED → NEXT #64#75
- **Task:** Bernardo: bump non-hw/non-human PROPOSED categories 1+2.
- **Did:** **#64** MIGRATION snapshots · **#65** installer chown ·
**#66** mkFlake theme-state errors · **#67** theme fidelity nits ·
**#68** #52 residual ANSI · **#69** audit identity exemptions ·
**#70** import-pipeline hierarchy · **#71** IR portal docs (a) ·
**#72** template SoT CI · **#73** hardware hints residual · **#74**
unattended install matrix · **#75** SoT V2 install. Breadcrumbs in
PROPOSED; actionable items sit above #20/#41 in NEXT.
- **Verified:** V0 (backlog only).
- **Next suggestion:** queue head **#64** (docs) or batch #67/#68 themes.
## 2026-07-10 — PROPOSED cleanup (stale exam residue)
- **Task:** Bernardo: clean stale PROPOSED items after A/B/C + #52 ship.
- **Did:** Rewrote PROPOSED to open work only — dropped #52 shipped
high-ROI bullets, neon-glass quarantine, empty/shipped installer
audit sections, template seed drift (keys already present), soft
gaps fixed by #50, and “no action” kanagawa/boreal notes. Kept
product day-2, installer follow-ups, theme polish residuals, tooling.
- **Verified:** V0 (backlog hygiene); spot-checked template keys,
latte/mocha #52 fixes, usbutils, package exports.
- **Next suggestion:** triage the lean PROPOSED list or HARDWARE-QUEUE.
## 2026-07-10 — Pending closeout: #14, #57 V2, #41 slice
- **Task:** pending V2/CI/float leftovers after A/B/C batch.
- **Did:** **#14 closed** — first scheduled lock bump landed
`8fded63` (2026-07-06 Mon 05:20 UTC) as `nomarchy-bump` /
`chore(lock): scheduled upstream bump` (Actions token push works).
**#57 V2** — `checks.live-install-entry` asserts live HM gen has
`nomarchy-install.desktop` (Name/Terminal/Exec) + installer bin +
Tools menu gate in `nomarchy-menu`. **#41 slice** — float/center rules
for hyprpolkitagent + pinentry-qt from package app-id strings;
`tools/capture-float-classes.nix` harness (softGL empty clients);
residual GTK portal stays NEXT `#41 [blocked:hw]`. HARDWARE-QUEUE
float confirm steps added.
- **Verified:** **V2** live-install-entry green; windowrule-syntax green.
SoftGL class capture inconclusive (empty clients). **V3** float confirm
+ fingerprint/#60 still HARDWARE-QUEUE. **#20** still `[human]`.
- **Next suggestion:** Bernardo: #20 KVM runner, or HARDWARE-QUEUE pass.
## 2026-07-10 — #55 fingerprint menu + #56 human rebuild errors
- **Task:** NEXT #55 (System Fingerprint) + #56 (rebuild failure UX).
- **Did:** #55 — System row self-gated on fprintd-list; enroll/list/verify/
delete-all terminal flows; Use for login writes
`settings.fingerprint.pam` (hardware.nix default from stateFile);
HARDWARE.md §5 + HARDWARE-QUEUE V3 enroll. #56 — sys-update /
sys-rebuild / home-update tee last 40 lines + nomarchy-doctor pointer;
theme-sync run_switch notify/die text. Closed #55/#56.
- **Verified:** **V1** — HM template rebuild (menu + theme-sync);
option-docs green; failure-footer shell smoke. **V3 pending:** real
fingerprint enroll (queue). **V2 pending:** forced bad sys-rebuild in
VM (footer text pure/logic covered).
- **Next suggestion:** queue was AC; remaining NEXT is blocked items
(#14/#20/#41) or PROPOSED triage.
## 2026-07-10 — #58 nomarchy-detect-hw CLI
- **Task:** NEXT #58 — post-install re-probe package (HARDWARE.md §8).
- **Did:** `pkgs/nomarchy-detect-hw` wrapping installers hardware-db;
human report + snippets + `--raw` protocol; overlay + systemPackages;
HARDWARE.md §8 updated. Closed #58.
- **Verified:** **V1** — package builds; ran on this AMD laptop: correct
MODULE/NOMARCHY lines (amd cpu/gpu, laptop, ssd, fingerprint, IR cam,
NPU) and printable system.nix snippets.
- **Next suggestion:** #55 fingerprint menu or #56 human rebuild errors.
## 2026-07-10 — #57 live Install Nomarchy affordance
- **Task:** NEXT #57 — durable live-ISO install surface (not only toast).
- **Did:** `xdg.desktopEntries.nomarchy-install` (Terminal=true) on live
HM; Tools Install Nomarchy self-gated on `command -v nomarchy-install`;
welcome toast wording updated. Closed #57.
- **Verified:** **V1** — live config eval exposes entry name/exec;
`downstream-template-home` rebuilds with menu gate. **V2 pending:**
ISO rebuild + smoke that the .desktop appears in the session.
- **Next suggestion:** #58 `nomarchy-detect-hw` CLI.
## 2026-07-10 — #63 generated Waybar logo + powermenu
- **Task:** NEXT #63 — reverse parity: generated bar lacked whole-swap
logo → menu and power icon → power menu.
- **Did:** `custom/nomarchy` (left, Nomarchy.ttf U+F000) + `custom/powermenu`
(right, U+F011 → `nomarchy-menu power`) in generated settings/style.
Fixed Nix `\uf000` pitfall (no `\u` escapes — use literal UTF-8).
Whole-swaps already had both; no JSON/CSS edits. Closed #63.
- **Verified:** **V2**`THEME=tokyo-night` theme-shot: left monogram N,
right power glyph, accent styling; config modules-left/right correct.
Crop paths under `/tmp/theme-shot-tn2-*.png`.
- **Next suggestion:** product path #55 fingerprint menu (or #57 live install).
