Bernardo Magri 685126ab47 feat(nightlight): menu-driven, in-flake on/off (no ~/.local/state)
Night light is off by default and configured entirely through the menu,
writing into the downstream flake instead of ~/.local/state — so the
choice is git-tracked and reproducible across a clone+rebuild.

Two flags under a new settings.* section of the state file (exposed as
the nomarchy.settings option):
- settings.nightlight.installed — sticky, gates the hyprsunset unit;
  nomarchy.nightlight.enable mkDefault-reads it. First enable from the
  menu rebuilds to create the unit (the one accepted rebuild).
- settings.nightlight.on — runtime on/off, toggled instantly
  (theme-sync set --no-switch + systemctl), no rebuild. An ExecCondition
  reads the live flag at session start so an off survives reboot;
  splitting it from the sticky flag means a later unrelated rebuild
  never undoes an instant-off (no decay).

Drops the ~/.local/state/nomarchy/nightlight-off marker and the
ConditionPathExists hack. theme-sync set now skips the wallpaper
re-apply for non-wallpaper keys, and its rebuild notifications are
generic ("changes" not "theme").

First cut of the broader principle — any user-settable config gets a
menu writer that lands it in the flake; no state outside the checkout.
Docs (README §4, ROADMAP, template) updated to reflect it.

Eval- and round-trip-verified; on-hardware check pending.

My Nomarchy machine

  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 theme-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-theme-sync knows where the state lives.

Day-to-day:

nomarchy-theme-sync list             # 21 shipped presets
nomarchy-theme-sync apply gruvbox    # writes state + home-manager switch
nomarchy-theme-sync bg next          # cycle wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)

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