docs(agent): PROPOSED #134 — unstable.<pkg> in the downstream
Bernardo wants a newer LM Studio and rejected the only mechanism that works
today (a hand-pinned fetchTarball rev+sha256 in home.nix — verified working,
but a second unlocked pin and exactly the Nix expertise the distro exists to
spare its users). He is taking stable 0.4.15-2 for now.

Records why there is no seam (mkFlake takes src/username/hardwareProfile/
system; homeConfigurations uses mkFlake's own pkgs, so a system.nix overlay
cannot reach a home package), the sketch he asked for (unstable.lmstudio,
maybe stable. as an explicit synonym), and the shape that keeps the one-input
promise: carry nixpkgs-unstable upstream and expose it via overlays.default,
so downstream stays single-input and locked.

Costs left open for triage, not decided: two-channel lock churn against the
full-checklist rule, closure duplication (measured: the two lmstudio build
closures share 690 of ~3.7-4k paths), the weakening of "tested together
upstream", whether an unreferenced input should lock at all, and whether the
seam covers system.nix too. Cheaper fallback noted (mkFlake `overlays ? []`).

PROPOSED per BACKLOG rules — awaiting triage, not implemented.

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.
