The "blank + hypridle deadlock = the brick" cause published this morning is retracted everywhere it was asserted: ROADMAP, hyprland.nix's comment, #146, HARDWARE-QUEUE and two commit messages (a2151f4,321ccf7). It rested on two pieces of evidence and both were artifacts of how I measured: - "19 disconnects in 11 days": 18 of 19 are hypridle's noisy goodbye while systemd DELIBERATELY stops it — each bracketed by `Stopped hypridle` / `Started hypridle`, healthy replacement seconds later. - "Jul 14: CRITICAL at 13:08:17, then eleven hours of silence": an artifact of grepping ONE PID. systemd logged `Stopped hypridle` 13:08:17 and `Started hypridle` 13:09:00; PID 1678 ran fine all evening, invisible to the filter. Decisive: at the incident (before the 12:51:34 mitigation commit) hypridle had NO disconnect at all and had been healthy since Jul 14 13:09. It should have fired on-resume normally. The deadlock theory never had a case. The FIX stands on its own evidence and is untouched: the options really were off, hypridle's on-resume really was the only caller of `dpms on`, and input now wakes the screen with hypridle deliberately stopped (4s docked / 6s clamshell). Removing a proven single point of failure never needed a story about why the daemon might fail — which is exactly why it survived the story being wrong. #127 is RESTORED to NOW (deleted this morning as "shipped"; only the fix shipped). Its cause is open and the lead is the dead Ctrl+Alt+F3 — neither DPMS-off nor a dead hypridle can break VT switching, so something was wedged below the compositor holding DRM master. Every theory so far has been about the wake path, i.e. a symptom of the screen already being black. #146 → [watch], near-dead: one genuine zombie ever (verified by ps/ss, not grep); upstream #171 is real but its impact path closed when #147's stray linger went. Re-measure properly before building anything; close unbuilt if zero. Also closes the #127 hardware-queue entry: Bernardo ran the real 10-min idle — 19:27:58 dpms off (genuine timeout, shipped config, and it BLANKED = the revert working) -> mouse -> 19:32:14 `done enabled=1 first=DP-2`, clamshell, the incident geometry, one healthy hypridle throughout. All 4 steps pass. 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.
