fix(waybar): scope the universal CSS reset to the bar — un-hides tray submenu arrows
BACKLOG #90 root-caused: the arrows were never missing from the icon
theme — Papirus-Dark resolves pan-end-symbolic through its breeze-dark
inheritance (breeze ships inside the nixpkgs papirus output). The real
culprit: Waybar loads its stylesheet screen-wide at application
priority, so the tray menus it hosts for SNI apps (nm-applet & co)
inherit the bar's '* { min-height: 0; }', which out-prioritizes
adw-gtk3's 16px min-height on the menuitem arrow node and collapses
the submenu arrow to zero height. Property bisect confirmed
min-height:0 alone reproduces; the font/border resets don't.

- boreal + executive-slate waybar.css, waybar.nix generatedStyle:
  '*' block scoped to 'window#waybar, window#waybar *'; tooltip rules
  restate the font (tooltips are separate toplevels outside the scope).
- stylix.nix: drop the go-next-symbolic remap — a workaround for the
  misdiagnosis; native pan-end-symbolic resolves fine.
- BACKLOG #90 deleted; JOURNAL entry records the method (live GTK3
  repro + grim screenshots + CSS property bisect, V3 on TuringMachine).

V3 pending: human click on the real nm-applet tray icon post-switch.

# Backlog — the prioritized task queue
**This is the only executable work list for agents.** Product themes and
v1.0 intent live in [`docs/VISION.md`](../docs/VISION.md); design history
in [`docs/ROADMAP.md`](../docs/ROADMAP.md); map in
[`docs/README.md`](../docs/README.md) and [`agent/README.md`](README.md).
**Rules:**
- Agents take the topmost actionable item (see LOOP.md). Finished items
are **deleted** here — the journal + git log are the record; durable
design notes get a ✓-entry in docs/ROADMAP.md (and/or a note in VISION)
if worth keeping.
- Item numbers are **stable IDs** — never renumbered or reused. A gap in
the sequence means shipped (or dropped) work; new items take the next
free number regardless of tier.
- Tags: `[blocked:hw]` needs real hardware (see HARDWARE-QUEUE.md) ·
`[human]` needs Bernardo · `[stuck]` two failed attempts, needs help ·
`[big]` must be split before starting.
- Agents may append to **PROPOSED** and **Decisions** freely (include
`VISION § …` or `ROADMAP § …` when relevant); only Bernardo moves items
*out* of PROPOSED into the tiers.

*(empty — NEXT's top item is the queue head)*
## NEXT
### 76. Hibernation default — all agent work shipped `[human]`
Hibernation + zram on by default (product intent, Bernardo 2026-07-10).
**All V0/V1/V2 slices done** (2026-07-10); only the V3 check remains.
**Unblocked 2026-07-11:** the dev box (TuringMachine T14s) now RUNS Nomarchy
(migrated per docs/MIGRATION.md) with exactly the target layout — step 1 of
the queue entry verified live (`/swap/swapfile` file-type swapon, zram0 prio
100, `resume=`+`resume_offset=` on cmdline). Remaining: Bernardo performs the
power-cycle (hibernate → power off → single LUKS unlock → session restored) —
steps in HARDWARE-QUEUE. Design record in
**ROADMAP § Hibernation + zram by default**. Shipped:
- zram default (`modules/nixos/oom.nix`, zstd/50%/prio 100) — `checks.zram-swap`.
- Installer/template already default new installs to a RAM-sized encrypted
`@swap` swapfile + `resume_offset` wiring; `swapSize=0` = no-swap opt-out.
- `docs/MIGRATION.md` enable-hibernation runbook (existing machines).
- `rofi.nix` Power → Hibernate: kept unconditional, **notifies on failure**.
- `checks.hibernate` VM test (V2 PASS) — hibernate→resume→crash round-trip
(swap partition); zram (prio 100) doesn't swallow the image, disk carries it.
- `checks.hibernate-swapfile` VM test (V2 PASS) — the installer's btrfs `@swap`
**swapfile** setup: NOCOW `mkswapfile`, file-type swapon, a valid
`map-swapfile -r` offset the kernel accepts (`/sys/power/resume_offset`),
zram above it. (Bounded proof of the swapfile+offset the partition test
can't reach; a full runtime-swapfile hibernate isn't headless-reachable —
systemd `CanHibernate=no` for undeclared swap.)
**V3 remaining (narrowed):** the literal encrypted-swapfile power-cycle —
`Hibernate → power off → unlock LUKS → resume session` on the LUKS+@swap
layout — plus the no-swap notify in a real session. QEMU can't feed a
runtime-computed `resume_offset` into the boot cmdline, and the dev box runs
exactly this layout (`/proc/cmdline` verified) but isn't Nomarchy. Steps in
HARDWARE-QUEUE. Close #76 on PASS.
### 89. Tray icon parity — themed overrides for SNI apps (Bernardo 2026-07-11)
The bar is monochrome; third-party tray icons aren't. EasyEffects 8's Qt
SNI publishes IconName `com.github.wwmm.easyeffects` → Papirus full-color
blue (T14s V3, 2026-07-11); Signal / Telegram / ZapZap (all flatpaks on
the T14s) likely worse. Goal: every tray icon reads like part of the bar.
Slices:
1. **Inventory — DONE (T14s live session, 2026-07-11):**
| app | IconName | pixmap? | verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| nm-applet | `nm-signal-*` (state-varying) | no | **name-based** — override the `nm-*` family |
| udiskie | `drive-removable-media-usb-panel` | no | **name-based** |
| Telegram | `org.telegram.desktop[-mute/-attention]-symbolic` | yes (fallback) | **name-based** — ship all state names |
| Signal | `Signal_status_icon_1` (generated, not a real theme name) | yes | **pixmap** — slice 3 |
| ZapZap | *(empty)* | yes | **pixmap** — slice 3; check its own tray-style setting first |
| EasyEffects 8 | `com.github.wwmm.easyeffects` (prior T14s finding) | — | **name-based**; NB `--gapplication-service` alone registers no SNI |
**Bernardo's visual verdict (T14s, 2026-07-11):** Telegram and ZapZap
already read fine on the bar — out of scope. The offenders are
**EasyEffects** (slice 2: name-based override) and **Signal**
(slice 3: pixmap; check for an app-side tray option, else document).
Related fix shipped same day: easyeffects.service now *waits for a
registered tray host* before starting (the old After=waybar.service
ordering was inert — waybar is supervisor-run, not a unit), so the
icon no longer vanishes on unlucky boot order.
2. **Override layer:** an HM-managed shadow icon dir that wins the XDG
lookup for the session icon theme (e.g. `xdg.dataFile
"icons/<theme-iconset>/…"` shadowing the store copy, or a
`Nomarchy-tray` theme inheriting the active set — pick whichever
survives theme whole-swaps; icons must follow the active theme per
THEME-DESIGN, not hardcode one palette). Ship monochrome SVGs for the
name-based offenders found in slice 1. Waybar restart re-resolves.
3. **Pixmap apps:** document (or wire, where a setting exists) per-app
monochrome/tray options; what can't be fixed goes in the item's
record, not silent scope creep.
V-path: V1 eval + icon file lands in the right lookup dir; V3 screenshot
of the tray on a real session (headless VM has no flatpak chat apps).
## LATER
- **Wallpapers artifact split** (ROADMAP § Faster switches — decided,
deferred): pinned `Nomarchy-wallpapers` input so a state write stops
re-copying 86 MB. Follow-on: pre-built theme variants if switches are
still slow after.
- **Installer round 2** (ROADMAP § Installer): multi-disk BTRFS RAID,
impermanence, BIOS/legacy boot.
- **Boot-from-snapshot**: a systemd-boot equivalent of grub-btrfs.
- **MIPI/IPU software-ISP camera** support (no-UVC machines).
- **NixOS release bump → v2** `[human]`: deliberate, hand-edited, never
automated; the previous attempt was discarded (2026-06-22) over a
Hyprland OOM blocker — see MEMORY.md before retrying (NOW#3 should
also soften that blocker class).
## FUTURE (decided deferred — not the agent queue head)
Work we **intend** someday but explicitly **not** NEXT. Agents do not
pick these unless Bernardo promotes one into NEXT/NOW.
### 20. KVM runner → VM suite in CI `[human]`
**Status (2026-07-10):** keep **eval-only** CI on the current Gitea
stack (act_runner in docker-compose on the 4c/4GB IONOS VPS). Nested
KVM + RAM headroom on that host are a poor fit next to Gitea; full
`checks.*` VMs stay local / promotion-time until a **separate**
KVM-capable machine exists.
**When ready:** register a second runner (host-mode nix + `/dev/kvm`,
label `nix-kvm` — not the existing docker eval runner), then uncomment
the `vm-checks` job in `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` (`runs-on: nix-kvm`,
`nix flake check` + toplevel/HM builds). Do not enable the job until
that label is online (Gitea queues forever otherwise).
### Formatter — adopt later `[human]`
**Intent:** add a Nix formatter (likely `nixfmt-rfc-style`) in a dedicated
pass: reformat the tree once, document in CONVENTIONS, optional CI
check. **Not** the queue head — no drive-by reformats until that pass.
## PROPOSED (agent suggestions — await human triage)
*Agents: append here with a one-paragraph pitch (what/why/cost). Do not
implement. Bernardo moves accepted items into a tier.*
*Open work only. Shipped exam/AC items (#47#63, #14, #52 theme
high-ROI, etc.) live in the journal + ROADMAP — not here.*
### Product / day-2
- **NVIDIA first-class options** — **deferred past v1** (Bernardo
2026-07-10). Keep #59 commented install guidance; no
`nomarchy.hardware.nvidia.*` until a hybrid maintainer + queue.
- **Post-install hardware hints** (`VISION § B`) — After the general
“you're set” card (#81), optionally fire **one** additional
self-gated notify when the machine actually has the hardware:
(a) `fwupdmgr` on PATH → “System Firmware to check LVFS updates”;
(b) `fprintd-list` on PATH → “System Fingerprint to enroll”.
One-shot markers in `settings.*` (same in-checkout discipline as
`firstBootShown`); never a permanent MOTD nag. Cost: small — extend
`nomarchy-first-boot` or a sibling oneshot + `checks.first-boot`
fixture. Control-center / MOTD already mention these; the gap is the
silent first *graphical* session for people who never open those.
- **Fingerprint *or* password, in parallel** (2026-07-11, Bernardo) —
`fingerprint.pam` gives pam_fprintd's sequential UX: sudo waits on
the reader, password only after failure/timeout. Bernardo wants
either factor accepted at the same prompt (type the password *or*
touch the sensor, whichever comes first). Stock PAM can't express
this; needs a parallel-conversation module (e.g. `pam-any`, not in
nixpkgs — would be a new package + `fingerprint.pam = "any"` mode).
Cost: medium (package + PAM wiring + careful lockout testing on real
hardware). Security note: keep sudo fallback sane if fprintd hangs.
_(#80#83 + #85#88 shipped 2026-07-11. Theme A day-2 + neon-glass finish
shipped — VISION ✓. Dock/hibernate V3 → HARDWARE-QUEUE.)_
### v1.0 pointer
See **VISION**. Open PROPOSED: post-install hardware hints; NVIDIA
deferred past v1; IR portal (b)/(c) need T14s (HARDWARE-QUEUE § T14s).
Standing calls: browser = Chromium; power = PPD.
## Decisions `[human]`
Open calls only Bernardo can make; agents add options/evidence but never
decide. **Resolved** entries stay for history; agents treat them as closed.
### Resolved (2026-07-10)
- **Docs site vs Markdown-in-repo** — **markdown in-repo for now**
(`docs/`, README). A rendered docs site is FUTURE if wanted.
- **Default browser** — **ship Chromium** in
`templates/downstream/home.nix`; mime → `chromium-browser.desktop`.
Opt out: delete the line / override mime.
- **Default power backend** — **keep PPD** (`nomarchy.system.power.backend`
default). TLP remains the one-line opt-in. Rationale: stability + live
profile API for menu/Waybar; Omarchys TLP experiment reverted.
### Resolved (2026-07-10, more)
- **Formatter adoption** — **yes, but not now.** Tracked as FUTURE
(below). Nix-source style only (`nixfmt-rfc-style` or similar); one
bulk reformat + CI/check when promoted. Until then: hand-aligned
style per CONVENTIONS.
- **Hibernation** — **want by default** (product intent). Needs a
disk-backed swap (file or partition) sized for resume; not zram alone.
Implementation is a future/NEXT item when designed (installer +
resume device + encrypted-root story).
### Resolved (2026-07-10, #76 design)
- **Swap sizing** — **exactly RAM** (installer default, unchanged). Hibernate
image ≤ RAM; zram takes day-to-day paging. **`swapSize=0`** stays no-swap.
- **Migration** — **docs runbook** (`docs/MIGRATION.md`), not a tool.
- **No-swap Hibernate** — keep the menu row; **notify on failure**.
