Check / eval (push) Successful in 4m14s
The timer's OnCalendar now bakes the configured times (falling back like _hhmm_to_min on a hand-edited state), so the switch lands at the configured minute instead of up to 15 minutes late. The original poll's robustness case is covered without it: Persistent catches transitions missed while powered off, systemd fires elapsed calendar timers on resume, and OnStartupSec settles the theme after login. Baked times mean a time edit must rebuild: the menu's Sunrise/Sunset writes now run `auto --force` when enabled (one rebuild re-bakes the timer and lands on the right theme, same as the enable flow). Day and night slugs stay live reads — but with no poll to catch them up, editing the slot currently on screen applies immediately via a plain `auto`. New eval check `auto-theme-timer` asserts the bake state-bridges-style: configured times reach OnCalendar, garbage falls back to 07:00/20:00, disabled installs no unit. Docs + hardware-queue entry updated to the new semantics. V2: checks.auto-theme (KVM VM, passed) covers the auto engine the timer ticks; checks.auto-theme-timer (eval, passed) covers the unit; OnCalendar strings systemd-analyze-validated; the rebuilt menu script passes bash -n with the new branches in place. V3 pending: live timer firing at the exact configured minute on hardware (existing "Auto-theme pair flip" queue entry, refreshed). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
