docs: RETRACT the #127 cause — the diagnosis was a measurement artifact; fix stands
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.

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 V0V3 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 35 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

  1. Execute from BACKLOG only (NOW → NEXT; never PROPOSED without human triage).
  2. Orient with GOALS + CONVENTIONS + MEMORY + last journal + BACKLOG; when the task is product-shaped, also read the relevant VISION §.
  3. Record lasting design in ROADMAP ✓ when something ships that future humans should know; delete the BACKLOG line.
  4. v1 branch is human-only — never advance from an agent session.
