Phase 2 of the in-flake-state philosophy, mirroring night-light: the
nomarchy-keyboard-watch daemon now remembers per-device layouts in the
git-tracked state file (settings.keyboard.devices) instead of
~/.local/state/nomarchy/keyboard-layouts.
- Reads the LIVE working-tree map (theme-sync get → jq) so a pick this
session is honoured at once; writes instantly with --no-switch (no
rebuild). Writes the whole map back at the dot-free parent path
(read-modify-write) so a device name with a dot can't corrupt the
tool's dotted set-path (Hyprland only sanitises spaces→-).
- Graduation: nomarchy.keyboard.devices now mkDefault-merges entries
from settings.keyboard.devices, so each remembered device becomes a
generated Hyprland device{} block on the next rebuild (reproducible,
hotplug-applied). A hand-written keyboard.devices.<name> still wins;
once baked, the watcher's is_declared check makes it step back.
- theme.nix seeds settings.keyboard.devices = {} (sparse state still
evaluates); options/template descriptions updated; ROADMAP marked done.
Eval-verified (graduation + mkDefault precedence) and the set/get
writer round-trips. Still needs the on-hardware hotplug re-verify (the
picker path isn't testable in CI).

My Nomarchy machine
- Overwrite the placeholder hardware config with the real one:
nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix - Set
flake.nixup once (Nomarchy repo URL, your username, optionally ahardwareProfilefrom 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 insystem.nix(hostname, services — the login user is created fromusernameautomatically) andhome.nix(your packages). git init && git add -A— flakes only see tracked files, includingtheme-state.json.- System:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default - Desktop:
nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me(afterwards justhome-manager switch --flake .#me— it's installed) - Clone/symlink this directory to
~/.nomarchy(or exportNOMARCHY_PATH) sonomarchy-theme-syncknows 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.
