All checks were successful
Check / eval (push) Successful in 3m44s
Light-theme accent buttons sat at 2.72:1 — under AA and under even the 3:1
large-text floor. Bernardo: fix it. The plan on file ("darken the label")
turned out to be IMPOSSIBLE, and measuring all 24 palettes is what showed
it: on a saturated mid-tone accent nothing clears 4.5 — cream base 2.72,
dark text 1.65. That is why adw-gtk3 ships white-on-accent at ~2.7. The
chip has to move.
The chip is now the accent pulled AWAY from the label: toward white when
the label is dark, toward black when it is cream. One factor (0.70), only
the anchor flips, so "solid accent button + base label" stays the design
and just shifts tone. Worst dark 4.86 (nord/bad), worst light 5.59
(summer-day). The old 0.90 chip failed SEVEN themes (miasma/bad 3.43,
rose-pine 2.70) — never only a light-theme bug, contrary to the item.
#129 rides along, and the two are one idea. #98 shipped an invisible button
with every check green because the background was not a palette role —
adw-gtk3 computed it from currentColor. So the guard is not a CSS lint
(which would flag the harmless generic-button rule and get muted) but
arithmetic: pin both ends and the pair becomes checkable.
check-theme-contrast.py now models GTK's own mix(a,b,f) = a + (b-a)*f —
READ from gtkcsscolorvalue.c:234, not assumed — and asserts base-on-chip
>= 4.5 for all 24 themes. Its negative test reproduces the item's reported
2.72/2.74 exactly from an independent model, which is the best evidence
available that the arithmetic matches the pixels.
Invariant to keep: pin the pair, or pin neither. Both chips are pinned now
(suggested + .default + destructive), where #98 pinned only destructive.
tools/dialog-shot.nix deliberately not built: the checker covers the
numbers, and a VM that only ever confirms arithmetic is maintenance for
nothing. Render if a new widget class appears.
Also sweeps #127 with the latch finding (ff5017e): symptom 2 solved, not
DPMS — which raises the odds the mitigation treats the wrong cause.

# Backlog — the prioritized task queue
|
||
|
||
**This is the only executable work list for agents.** Product themes and
|
||
v1.0 intent live in [`docs/VISION.md`](../docs/VISION.md); design history
|
||
in [`docs/ROADMAP.md`](../docs/ROADMAP.md); map in
|
||
[`docs/README.md`](../docs/README.md) and [`agent/README.md`](README.md).
|
||
|
||
**Rules:**
|
||
- Agents take the topmost actionable item (see LOOP.md). Finished items
|
||
are **deleted** here — the journal + git log are the record; durable
|
||
design notes get a ✓-entry in docs/ROADMAP.md (and/or a note in VISION)
|
||
if worth keeping.
|
||
- Item numbers are **stable IDs** — never renumbered or reused. A gap in
|
||
the sequence means shipped (or dropped) work; new items take the next
|
||
free number regardless of tier.
|
||
- Tags: `[blocked:hw]` needs real hardware (see HARDWARE-QUEUE.md) ·
|
||
`[human]` needs Bernardo · `[stuck]` two failed attempts, needs help ·
|
||
`[big]` must be split before starting.
|
||
- Agents may append to **PROPOSED** and **Decisions** freely (include
|
||
`VISION § …` or `ROADMAP § …` when relevant); only Bernardo moves items
|
||
*out* of PROPOSED into the tiers.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## NOW
|
||
|
||
### Live ISO / install hardware findings — Acer Aspire M5-481T + Dell XPS 9350
|
||
|
||
Bernardo, real installs 2026-07-13–14 (photos of the install end screens and
|
||
post-boot sessions). Preserve separation: the installer bake failure and the
|
||
flake pin are different root causes even when they show up on the same machine.
|
||
(Terminal / Ghostty-on-Acer → shipped as Kitty-only, #95.)
|
||
|
||
### 127. `[blocked:hw]` Docked idle: black screens, no wake, undock does not restore panel
|
||
|
||
Bernardo 2026-07-15 (AMD dev box, docked): left the laptop docked; after a
|
||
few minutes of idle it appeared to "sleep". Then:
|
||
|
||
1. External keyboard/mouse did **not** wake any display.
|
||
2. Unplugging the external monitor did **not** turn the laptop panel back
|
||
on (dock mode has eDP disabled — undock *should* re-enable it).
|
||
3. The machine was still alive: Caps Lock LED toggled on the keyboard.
|
||
|
||
This also killed a long agent session (looked like a "crash" from the
|
||
outside). Separate from awake undock recovery (HARDWARE-QUEUE round 8):
|
||
the failure is **idle while docked**, then no path back to a usable panel.
|
||
|
||
**Likely shape (code-side, unconfirmed on the incident):** on AC, hypridle
|
||
does **not** call `systemctl suspend` (`onAc || suspend` — only battery
|
||
suspends at 15 min). Idle path is lock @5 min + `dpms off` @10 min
|
||
(`modules/home/idle.nix`). Caps Lock working fits **DPMS/lock blackout**
|
||
better than deep S3. Dock mode has already disabled eDP; recovery then
|
||
needs either (a) input → hypridle `on-resume` / `dpms on` on the external,
|
||
or (b) undock → `nomarchy-display-transition undock` re-enabling the
|
||
panel. Both failed. `after_sleep_cmd` only does `hyprctl dispatch dpms on`
|
||
and never re-enables a disabled internal.
|
||
|
||
**Progress 2026-07-15:**
|
||
- Recovery tooling: undock ends with `dpms on`; `nomarchy-display-wake` /
|
||
`nomarchy-display-dump` (SUPER+SHIFT+D; TTY if it works).
|
||
- **Mitigation (shipped):** do **not** DPMS-off when **clamshell** — if any
|
||
laptop internal (eDP/LVDS/DSI) exists in `monitors all` but is not
|
||
enabled, the 10 min listener skips blanking. Lock at 5 min still runs;
|
||
undocked laptops still DPMS-off as before. Bernardo: Ctrl+Alt+F3 did
|
||
not yield a usable TTY on the original brick, so prevention > dump path.
|
||
- **Scope settled (#136, 2026-07-16):** the gate is *clamshell*, not
|
||
"docked" — and Bernardo confirms the incident was exactly that, **laptop
|
||
closed**. So the code matched the evidence and only the wording
|
||
overclaimed; that is fixed (idle.nix, ROADMAP, and the journal line, now
|
||
`dpms-off skipped: clamshell`). Docked with the lid **open** still blanks
|
||
and is untested — not exempted, not claimed safe.
|
||
- **Revisit later (LATER):** intentional DPMS-when-clamshell once wake is
|
||
proven trustworthy (monitor power-save without a brick). Tracked as
|
||
**#135** (state key + the surface to delete this by), downstream of the
|
||
hardware test below.
|
||
- **Caveat the test must settle:** the mitigation is a cure for an
|
||
**unconfirmed cause**. "Blanking the only live output caused the brick"
|
||
is inference from one incident, shipped at V1. If DPMS-off is not the
|
||
trigger, we are paying a permanent behaviour cost (docked externals never
|
||
sleep) and the brick is still live — so confirming the cause outranks
|
||
#135/#136.
|
||
- **Symptom 2 is SOLVED, and it was not DPMS (ff5017e, 2026-07-16).** Bernardo
|
||
reproduced "unplugging did not turn the laptop panel back on" live, minutes
|
||
after TEST A — with **no blanking involved at all** (the mitigation had kept
|
||
the external lit). Cause: `awaiting_lid_open` is set by every successful
|
||
undock and cleared only when the external is gone **and** the lid is open, so
|
||
a clamshell undock **latches** it; a re-dock clears its sibling
|
||
`undock_pending` but not the latch, and the next departure is then silently
|
||
dropped by the `[ -z "$awaiting_lid_open" ]` guard. His journal shows the
|
||
first undock logging *nothing*, a release the instant he lifted the lid, then
|
||
a clean undock. Replaying the sequence with the lid never opened: 1 of 3
|
||
undocks ran; fixed, 3 of 3. **What this does to the theory:** the original
|
||
brick may simply have been an ordinary blank plus a recovery that could not
|
||
run — two mundane bugs, not one exotic DRM state. TEST B is now the only
|
||
thing standing between that hypothesis and the truth, and it is a much safer
|
||
test with the latch fixed (an undock is a real escape hatch again).
|
||
|
||
**Pass (current mitigation):** clamshell-docked on AC, idle past 10+ min →
|
||
external stays lit under hyprlock (journal: `dpms-off skipped: clamshell`);
|
||
undocked still blanks at 10 min and wakes on input. Full original pass (wake
|
||
after DPMS-while-clamshell) deferred to the LATER revisit.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### The two tests, exactly (2026-07-16)
|
||
|
||
**There is no SSH lifeline on this box** (`sshd` inactive), which is why test B
|
||
self-recovers instead of relying on one. If you would rather have the net, turn
|
||
`services.openssh.enable = true` on for the day and keep a phone SSH client
|
||
open — then a brick is a nuisance, not a reboot.
|
||
|
||
**Test A — does the mitigation hold? (safe, ~15 min, unattended)**
|
||
1. Docked, **lid closed**, on AC. Leave it completely alone for 12 minutes.
|
||
2. Expect: at 5 min the external shows hyprlock; at 10 min it **stays lit**.
|
||
3. Then: `journalctl --user -b -t nomarchy-idle --since '-15 min'`
|
||
→ one `dpms-off skipped: clamshell (internal eDP-1 present but off)`.
|
||
4. Now open the lid / undock, idle 11 min → the panel **should** blank, and
|
||
wake on a keypress. That half must still work; the mitigation is not
|
||
supposed to have disabled blanking everywhere.
|
||
|
||
**Test B — was DPMS-off actually the trigger? (the decisive one; bounded)**
|
||
This is the test that outranks everything else here, because the mitigation is
|
||
a cure for an *inferred* cause. Docked, **lid closed**, from a terminal on the
|
||
external:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
( sleep 45
|
||
hyprctl dispatch dpms on
|
||
hyprctl reload # re-enables every output (the #142 hammer)
|
||
) >/tmp/dpms-test.log 2>&1 &
|
||
hyprctl dispatch dpms off
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The screen goes black. Then, in order:
|
||
1. **Press keys / move the mouse** in the first ~40s. Does it come back?
|
||
(In the incident it did not — this is the exact step that failed.)
|
||
2. **Wait for the 45s auto-recovery.** Does the external return by itself?
|
||
3. If it is still dark, **open the lid** — the `reload` should have re-enabled
|
||
eDP even if the external stayed dead.
|
||
4. Afterwards:
|
||
`journalctl --user -b -t nomarchy-idle -t nomarchy-display-watch --since '-5 min'`
|
||
|
||
**What each outcome means — all three are useful:**
|
||
- **Input wakes it** → DPMS-off is **not** the trigger. The mitigation is a
|
||
permanent behaviour cost buying nothing, the brick is still live and
|
||
un-diagnosed → revert the skip, **#135 never exists**, and hunt the real
|
||
cause (hyprlock? hypridle's own resume path? the dock's DP link?).
|
||
- **Dark until the 45s recovery, then fine** → the compositor was alive and
|
||
`dpms on` works, so blanking-while-clamshell *is* the trigger and the
|
||
mitigation is right → **#135 becomes the way to opt back in**.
|
||
- **Dark even after recovery** (lid needed) → the original brick, reproduced
|
||
**deterministically and on demand**. That is the best outcome: it turns a
|
||
once-off incident into something bisectable (try it without hyprlock, with
|
||
the lid open, on the internal only …).
|
||
|
||
Note the deliberate omission: this runs `dpms off` **by hand** rather than
|
||
waiting for hypridle, precisely because the shipped mitigation would otherwise
|
||
skip it. Same command, same state, no rebuild.
|
||
|
||
**Fallback if the cause resists (Bernardo 2026-07-16):** diagnosing stays the
|
||
preference — DPMS when docked is the outcome we want. But the mitigation as
|
||
shipped holds a near-static lock screen on the externals indefinitely, so if
|
||
the cause cannot be pinned down, a **screensaver while docked** is the
|
||
consolation prize: it protects the panels (burn-in — the same cost #135
|
||
names) without re-entering the blanking path that bricked the session. Not a
|
||
new item: it is the "if diagnosis fails" branch of this one, and #135's state
|
||
key is where it would land.
|
||
|
||
## NEXT
|
||
|
||
### 135. Give the #127 DPMS mitigation a state key (and a way back)
|
||
|
||
The shipped mitigation is hardcoded policy: docked (clamshell) externals now
|
||
**never** blank, and hyprlock has no timeout of its own, so they stay lit
|
||
indefinitely. Two real costs land on the user — a couple of 27" panels at
|
||
~60–100W all night, and **OLED burn-in** from a near-static lock screen held
|
||
for hours. Today there is no way to opt back in, which also breaks the
|
||
in-flake-state rule that settings are menu-writable.
|
||
|
||
Add `settings.idle.dpmsWhenDocked` (default **false** = today's safe
|
||
behaviour), read by `modules/home/idle.nix`'s `dpmsOff` gate, with a
|
||
Preferences row. The real point is not the option: it gives the mitigation a
|
||
**named surface to delete** once wake is proven, instead of an unowned LATER
|
||
note that quietly becomes the product. Whoever removes the mitigation removes
|
||
the key in the same commit.
|
||
|
||
**Order:** after the #127 hardware test. If DPMS-off turns out not to be the
|
||
trigger, the mitigation is reverted wholesale and this key never exists —
|
||
building it first risks shipping an option for a policy we withdraw.
|
||
|
||
### 143. Rofi keeps the selected *row number* when the search changes, so the highlight lands on an unrelated entry
|
||
|
||
Bernardo 2026-07-16, and his repro is exact: open the app menu, type `ca`, move
|
||
the selection two items right (onto ChatGPT), press backspace once (query is
|
||
now `c`). The list re-expands — first entry is now Slack — but the highlight
|
||
stays on the **third row**, which is now GHex, an app that has nothing to do
|
||
with what he typed. Enter at that moment launches the wrong thing.
|
||
|
||
**Cause — upstream rofi (2.0.0, `source/widgets/listview.c`), not our config.**
|
||
A filter change ends in `listview_set_num_elements()`, which does not reset the
|
||
selection; it re-asserts the old one:
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
lv->req_elements = rows;
|
||
listview_set_selected(lv, lv->selected); /* the *previous* index */
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
and `listview_set_selected()` only clamps it to the new bounds:
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
lv->selected = MIN(selected, lv->req_elements - 1);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
So what is preserved is the **row number**, not the entry — nothing checks that
|
||
row 2 still holds the thing that was selected, or that it matches the query at
|
||
all. Typing *more* hides this (the list shrinks, the clamp usually drags the
|
||
highlight along); **backspacing exposes it**, because the list grows back
|
||
underneath a stationary index. There is no option for it: `-dump-config` has
|
||
nothing about selection-on-refilter, and `auto-select` is a different feature
|
||
(it fires only when exactly one row survives).
|
||
|
||
**One correction to the report:** it is not the app menu. `listview` is the
|
||
widget behind **every** rofi surface we ship, so our text menus (Recovery,
|
||
System, Preferences…) do the same. It is merely far more visible in drun, where
|
||
the list is long and — because we set `sort = true` — reorders on every
|
||
keystroke, so a stationary index points somewhere new each time. In a short
|
||
text menu you would probably see it and correct without noticing why.
|
||
|
||
**Reported upstream 2026-07-16: https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/issues/2317**
|
||
(open, filed as `bemagri`, with the 2.0.0 line numbers and the observation that
|
||
`rofi_view_set_selected_line` already maps a stable id through `line_map` — so
|
||
the fix reuses an existing primitive rather than inventing one). No patch was
|
||
sent: the scoping call is the maintainer's, since keeping the index across a
|
||
*reload* looks deliberate (#1064 asked for exactly that, and got it in 1.7.4).
|
||
No duplicate found before filing.
|
||
|
||
**Decided 2026-07-16 (Bernardo): wait for upstream. Do not carry a patch.** The
|
||
overlay option was real but priced badly — our derivations are in no binary
|
||
cache, so a patched rofi means **every machine compiles rofi from source**, on
|
||
every lock bump, to fix a highlight. That is a permanent, distro-wide install
|
||
cost for an annoyance with a free workaround (glance before you press Enter).
|
||
**This item is now a watch, not work:** the only thing to do is check
|
||
rofi#2317, and take the fix when a release carries it. If it is still open at
|
||
the next lock bump, that is fine — nothing here rots meanwhile.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## LATER
|
||
|
||
- **DPMS when docked (revisit #127):** today we **skip** display blanking
|
||
while any laptop internal is present-but-disabled (dock/clamshell), so
|
||
idle only locks. That avoids blanking the sole external and the brick
|
||
where wake/TTY failed (2026-07-15). Revisit when we want monitor
|
||
power-save on dock again: re-enable DPMS-off for that mode only if
|
||
`nomarchy-display-wake` (or better) reliably restores the external and
|
||
undock-while-black restores eDP on the AMD dock setup — without
|
||
depending on SSH. Until then, leave the skip in `modules/home/idle.nix`.
|
||
- **Wallpapers artifact split** (ROADMAP § Faster switches — decided,
|
||
deferred): pinned `Nomarchy-wallpapers` input so a state write stops
|
||
re-copying 86 MB. Follow-on: pre-built theme variants if switches are
|
||
still slow after.
|
||
- **Installer round 2** (ROADMAP § Installer): multi-disk BTRFS RAID,
|
||
impermanence, BIOS/legacy boot.
|
||
- **Boot-from-snapshot**: a systemd-boot equivalent of grub-btrfs.
|
||
- **MIPI/IPU software-ISP camera** support (no-UVC machines).
|
||
- **NixOS release bump → v2** `[human]`: deliberate, hand-edited, never
|
||
automated; the previous attempt was discarded (2026-06-22) over a
|
||
Hyprland OOM blocker — see MEMORY.md before retrying.
|
||
|
||
## FUTURE (decided deferred — not the agent queue head)
|
||
|
||
Work we **intend** someday but explicitly **not** NEXT. Agents do not
|
||
pick these unless Bernardo promotes one into NEXT/NOW.
|
||
|
||
### 20. KVM runner → VM suite in CI `[human]`
|
||
**Status (2026-07-10):** keep **eval-only** CI on the current Gitea
|
||
stack (act_runner in docker-compose on the 4c/4 GB IONOS VPS). Nested
|
||
KVM + RAM headroom on that host are a poor fit next to Gitea; full
|
||
`checks.*` VMs stay local / promotion-time until a **separate**
|
||
KVM-capable machine exists.
|
||
|
||
**When ready:** register a second runner (host-mode nix + `/dev/kvm`,
|
||
label `nix-kvm` — not the existing docker eval runner), then uncomment
|
||
the `vm-checks` job in `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` (`runs-on: nix-kvm`,
|
||
`nix flake check` + toplevel/HM builds). Do not enable the job until
|
||
that label is online (Gitea queues forever otherwise).
|
||
|
||
### Formatter — adopt later `[human]`
|
||
**Intent:** add a Nix formatter (likely `nixfmt-rfc-style`) in a dedicated
|
||
pass: reformat the tree once, document in CONVENTIONS, optional CI
|
||
check. **Not** the queue head — no drive-by reformats until that pass.
|
||
|
||
## PROPOSED (agent suggestions — await human triage)
|
||
|
||
*Agents: append here with a one-paragraph pitch (what/why/cost). Do not
|
||
implement. Bernardo moves accepted items into a tier.*
|
||
|
||
*Open work only. Shipped exam/A–C items (#47–#63, #14, #52 theme
|
||
high-ROI, etc.) live in the journal + ROADMAP — not here.*
|
||
|
||
### Product / day-2
|
||
|
||
### 120. A netinstall ISO, next to the fat offline one
|
||
|
||
**Deferred to PROPOSED 2026-07-16 (Bernardo): not now.** Nothing below is
|
||
stale — the measurements stand and the decision it needs is unchanged. It sits
|
||
here because it is the only genuinely large item left, and because the gotcha
|
||
at the bottom (no binary cache for our own derivations) probably makes a
|
||
cachix the real first step, not the ISO.
|
||
|
||
Bernardo 2026-07-14, after seeing the measured size: **keep the current ISO
|
||
exactly as it is** — the guaranteed offline install is the feature it buys —
|
||
and ship a **much lighter netinstall variant alongside it**. Two products, one
|
||
distro: "works on a plane" and "8 GiB is absurd to download" are both true, and
|
||
a second target settles them without compromising either.
|
||
|
||
**Measured facts (2026-07-14), so this starts from numbers, not vibes.**
|
||
*(These stand as measured: #121 would have cut ~0.67 GiB of duplicate chromium
|
||
from them, but it was **reverted** — decided against, ROADMAP § one chromium,
|
||
not two. If a netinstall ships, revisit it: the duplicate is worth ~195 MiB of
|
||
**download**, which is this item's whole currency, even though it is worth
|
||
almost nothing on disk or on the ISO.)*
|
||
|
||
> **Read this before using the numbers below.** They are **closure arithmetic**,
|
||
> and #121 proved the hard way that closure size is neither disk size nor image
|
||
> size: removing a 687 MiB path shrank the ISO by **8 KiB**, because
|
||
> **mksquashfs dedupes duplicate files** and **`auto-optimise-store` hardlinks**
|
||
> them on disk. So a change that looks like it sheds gigabytes of closure can
|
||
> shed nothing off the actual image. **Measure the artifact — build the ISO and
|
||
> `stat` it.** The corollary cuts the other way and is the good news for this
|
||
> item: what dedupe cannot help is the **wire**, so a netinstall's download is
|
||
> the one figure closure/NAR size predicts honestly (`nix path-info --store
|
||
> https://cache.nixos.org --json` gives the real `downloadSize`).
|
||
- Current ISO **8.078 GiB** compressed; **18.03 GiB** of store uncompressed
|
||
(`zstd -19`, 2.23:1 — compression is already near-max, not the lever).
|
||
- The offline pin (`system.extraDependencies`, 60 roots: a representative
|
||
installed system + the template HM closure + all flake inputs) is **4.02 GiB
|
||
uncompressed of that — only ~22%**. Dropping it entirely still leaves a
|
||
**~13.3 GiB** desktop → roughly **6 GiB** compressed at the same ratio.
|
||
**So "no pin" alone is NOT the lighter ISO** — this is the trap to avoid.
|
||
- The desktop's own top weights: libreoffice 1457 MiB, initrd 1369,
|
||
linux-firmware 770, chromium 1391 (two builds — #121, left in), llvm-lib 540,
|
||
bibata-cursors 322, mesa 264, mbrola-voices 259, nerd-fonts ~420 combined.
|
||
Note what that list implies: no single lever gets a desktop ISO under ~4 GB —
|
||
which is the case for (b) below.
|
||
|
||
**So the real decision is what a netinstall ISO IS**, and it should be settled
|
||
first (`[human]`): (a) the full try-before-install desktop minus the pin
|
||
(~6.3 GiB — barely lighter, probably not worth a second target); (b) a **TUI
|
||
installer only, no desktop** (~1 GiB, the actual "netinstall" in the Debian
|
||
sense) which drops "try before install" from that medium — the fat ISO still
|
||
offers it; (c) a middle desktop (no libreoffice/chromium — but note #103 just
|
||
put those there deliberately, and a *demo* desktop that can't browse is the
|
||
bug #103 fixed).
|
||
|
||
**The gotcha that decides feasibility:** without the pin, a netinstall target
|
||
fetches from `cache.nixos.org` for stock nixpkgs paths — but **Nomarchy's own
|
||
derivations are in no binary cache**, so they would build *from source on the
|
||
user's machine* during install. That is the same failure `tools/vm/gap-analysis.py`
|
||
exists to diagnose (and #113 is a live instance of). So this item probably
|
||
depends on a public binary cache (cachix) for the flake's own outputs, or it
|
||
trades an 8 GiB download for a 40-minute install. Establish that before
|
||
building the target.
|
||
|
||
Pass = a second, documented ISO target that is *substantially* smaller (state
|
||
the measured number, both ISOs built from one tree), installs successfully with
|
||
a network in a QEMU run, says clearly at boot that it needs one, and leaves the
|
||
offline ISO's behaviour untouched (`checks.*` for the offline path stay green).
|
||
### 134. `unstable.<pkg>` in the downstream — a newer app without a second flake
|
||
|
||
Bernardo 2026-07-15, wanting a newer LM Studio (pinned 0.4.15-2 vs unstable
|
||
0.4.19-2) and disliking the only path that works today. There is **no seam**:
|
||
`mkFlake` takes `src`/`username`/`hardwareProfile`/`system` only, and
|
||
`homeConfigurations` is built from mkFlake's own `pkgs` (`inherit pkgs`), so a
|
||
`nixpkgs.overlays` in system.nix cannot reach a home package. The user is left
|
||
hand-pinning a `fetchTarball` rev+sha256 in home.nix (verified working) — a
|
||
second pin with no lock, which is exactly the Nix expertise the distro exists
|
||
to spare them. Sketch: `home.packages = [ unstable.lmstudio ];`, and maybe
|
||
`stable.` as an explicit synonym for today's bare `pkgs`.
|
||
|
||
The shape that keeps the promises: Nomarchy carries the `nixpkgs-unstable`
|
||
input **itself** and exposes it through `overlays.default` as an `unstable`
|
||
attrset, so downstream stays **one input**, stays locked, and `nomarchy-pull`
|
||
still moves it. Cost/questions to settle before building:
|
||
- Lock churn: every lock bump now moves two channels, and the full-checklist
|
||
rule (VERIFICATION §5) applies to both.
|
||
- Duplication: measured — pinned vs unstable lmstudio build closures share
|
||
only 690 of ~3.7–4k paths (separate stdenv bootstrap). Opt-in per package,
|
||
but a user who reaches for it pays a second glibc/stack in the closure.
|
||
- "Tested together upstream" weakens by construction: nothing validates
|
||
pinned-Nomarchy + unstable-app. Needs an explicit, documented "you own this
|
||
combination" line, not silence.
|
||
- Does `unstable` belong in the eval by default, or only when referenced?
|
||
(An unused input still locks + fetches.)
|
||
- Scope: home packages only, or system.nix too?
|
||
|
||
Alternative if that is too much surface: give `mkFlake` an `overlays ? []`
|
||
param (one-line seam, user still owns their own input/pin — cheaper for us,
|
||
still expert-only for them). Related: #133.
|
||

||
### 114. Greeter ignores per-device keyboard layouts
|
||
|
||
Found by Bernardo 2026-07-14: logging out while docked lands on tuigreet,
|
||
where his external keyboard (remembered as `us` via
|
||
`settings.keyboard.devices`) types the session layout `gb` — so the password
|
||
prompt fights him. Not a regression and not docking-related: per-device
|
||
layouts are applied with `hyprctl keyword device[<name>]:kb_layout`, which
|
||
only exists inside a running Hyprland session, while tuigreet draws on a
|
||
kernel VT whose single keymap comes from `console.useXkbConfig` ←
|
||
`services.xserver.xkb.layout`. A VT structurally cannot do per-device
|
||
layouts, so this is a design gap, not a bug to patch. Options, cheapest
|
||
first: (a) document it and stop there; (b) a greeter layout-cycle key
|
||
(tuigreet has no such feature — would need the keymap swapped under it);
|
||
(c) host tuigreet inside a small Wayland compositor (cage/labwc), which
|
||
*does* get per-device XKB and would let the greeter honour the same
|
||
in-flake state the session uses — real work, and it changes the greeter's
|
||
whole rendering path (`modules/nixos/greeter.nix` themes tuigreet through
|
||
the 16 ANSI console slots, so (c) is not a drop-in). Worth deciding whether
|
||
the greeter is meant to be layout-aware at all before costing it.
|
||
|
||
- **NVIDIA first-class options** — **deferred past v1** (Bernardo
|
||
2026-07-10). Keep #59 commented install guidance; no
|
||
`nomarchy.hardware.nvidia.*` until a hybrid maintainer + queue.
|
||
|
||
- **Post-install hardware hints** (`VISION § B`) — After the general
|
||
“you're set” card (#81), optionally fire **one** additional
|
||
self-gated notify when the machine actually has the hardware:
|
||
(a) `fwupdmgr` on PATH → “System › Firmware to check LVFS updates”;
|
||
(b) `fprintd-list` on PATH → “System › Fingerprint to enroll”.
|
||
One-shot markers in `settings.*` (same in-checkout discipline as
|
||
`firstBootShown`); never a permanent MOTD nag. Cost: small — extend
|
||
`nomarchy-first-boot` or a sibling oneshot + `checks.first-boot`
|
||
fixture. Control-center / MOTD already mention these; the gap is the
|
||
silent first *graphical* session for people who never open those.

|
||
### v1.0 pointer
|
||
|
||
See **VISION**. Open PROPOSED: post-install hardware hints; NVIDIA
|
||
deferred past v1; IR portal (b)/(c) need T14s (HARDWARE-QUEUE § T14s).
|
||
Standing calls: browser = Chromium; power = PPD.
|
||
|
||
## Decisions `[human]`
|
||
|
||
Open calls only Bernardo can make; agents add options/evidence but never
|
||
decide. **Resolved** entries stay for history; agents treat them as closed.
|
||
|
||
### Resolved (2026-07-10)
|
||
|
||
- **Docs site vs Markdown-in-repo** — **markdown in-repo for now**
|
||
(`docs/`, README). A rendered docs site is FUTURE if wanted.
|
||
- **Default browser** — **ship Chromium** in
|
||
`templates/downstream/home.nix`; mime → `chromium-browser.desktop`.
|
||
Opt out: delete the line / override mime.
|
||
- **Default power backend** — **keep PPD** (`nomarchy.system.power.backend`
|
||
default). TLP remains the one-line opt-in. Rationale: stability + live
|
||
profile API for menu/Waybar; Omarchy’s TLP experiment reverted.
|
||
|
||
### Resolved (2026-07-10, more)
|
||
|
||
- **Formatter adoption** — **yes, but not now.** Tracked as FUTURE
|
||
(below). Nix-source style only (`nixfmt-rfc-style` or similar); one
|
||
bulk reformat + CI/check when promoted. Until then: hand-aligned
|
||
style per CONVENTIONS.
|
||
|
||
- **Hibernation** — **want by default** (product intent). Needs a
|
||
disk-backed swap (file or partition) sized for resume; not zram alone.
|
||
**Shipped as #76**; V3 power-cycle PASSED on TuringMachine 2026-07-12
|
||
(ROADMAP § Hibernation + zram by default).
|
||
|
||
### Resolved (2026-07-10, #76 design)
|
||
|
||
- **Swap sizing** — **exactly RAM** (installer default, unchanged). Hibernate
|
||
image ≤ RAM; zram takes day-to-day paging. **`swapSize=0`** stays no-swap.
|
||
- **Migration** — **docs runbook** (`docs/MIGRATION.md`), not a tool.
|
||
- **No-swap Hibernate** — keep the menu row; **notify on failure**.
