Bernardo's dock test (the #87 V3): audio stayed on EasyEffects→speakers. Root cause, established live: WirePlumber's stored default (default-nodes state, written by any past explicit pick) outranks the priority.session rules, so #87 alone can never move the default on a real machine; EasyEffects 8 follows the default device (kcfg default true, verified by watching its output links). Fix: nomarchy-dock-audio (modules/home/dock-audio.nix, nomarchy.dockAudio.enable, default on) — a pactl-subscribe watcher that set-default-sinks new dock-class sinks (regex data imported from modules/nixos/dock-audio-rules.nix, single source) with a toast, plus a startup sweep for login-while-docked that never overrides a manual in-dock pick. Unplug falls back by priority. Menus: Display gains docked rows — "Laptop screen off · everything → <ext>" (live-only disable; a persisted one could black-screen an undocked boot), "Screen on · <name>", "Move workspace · → next monitor", "Swap workspaces" (exactly-2 gate); Audio gains a self-gated "Send output → <dock sink>" quick row. All self-gate on real outputs. Verified: V2-equivalent on live hardware (no dock available) — watcher followed a fake dock-named null sink and fell back on unload, control run without the watcher stayed pinned (proving the stored-default diagnosis), EE output links moved mid-playback; generated menu bash -n green, dock-row jq exercised on real pactl JSON, dispatchers probed on live Hyprland; flake check + option-docs + template-sot green. V3 pending: real-dock retest ×2 in HARDWARE-QUEUE (watcher keys on new-sink events; pre-existing nodes that only flip route availability would need the queued diagnosis data).

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.
