Bernardo, live ISO 2026-07-14: still no browser, no office/utility apps — "that makes a live iso useful". Not a new item; #103 already covers it and #94 already pointed here. Recorded against #103 instead of duplicating. Captured the rationale, which outlives the app list: a live ISO is what someone judges the distro by before installing, and what they boot to rescue a machine that won't start — read a wiki page, save a document off a dying disk, check webmail. The live session can do none of that today. Verified the inventory rather than restating the report: eval of nomarchy-live's HM packages + systemPackages gives chromium=no firefox=no libreoffice=no amberol=no snapshot=no text-editor=no. It does carry terminal tooling (yazi, btop, bat, fd, ripgrep, ghostty) plus zathura and imv, so the gap is precisely the GUI apps a non-Nix user reaches for. Flagged the part that makes this more than a package list: the ISO-size delta is the real trade — both browsers plus libreoffice-fresh is plausibly +2 GB on an image people download, and squashfs can't be trimmed afterwards. Listed the options (both browsers / Chromium only / lighter office for the live medium) and asked for measured deltas per option, noting that nomarchy-live and the installed profile need not carry the same set — the live medium is the one with a size ceiling. V0: nix flake check --no-build passes. Backlog only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <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.
