Bernardo's question: with "Laptop screen off" active, does the panel come back when the dock is yanked? VM answer (new maintainer harness tools/monitor-fallback.nix, softGL desktop): no — Hyprland 0.55.4 leaves the session with zero active outputs and never re-enables a soft-disabled monitor. rescue_blackout in the display hotplug watcher now re-enables every disabled output (immediate, retried, idempotent keyword + toast) whenever a monitorremoved leaves nothing active; independent of the profile auto-switch and its settings gate. Sharp edge documented rather than hidden: the zero-output state itself crashes Hyprland in the VM ~4/5 runs (aquamarine CBackend::dispatchIdle ABRT within ~0.5s — faster than any userland rescue; a control run removing the external with the panel ACTIVE survives 5/5, so the state is the trigger, not headless removal; crash reproduced with the rescue provably inert, so not caused by it). Rescue ships as defense-in-depth: it recovers every surviving case, and the worst case on real DRM is session-to-greeter on a re-lit panel instead of a black brick. Rider fix: `grep -c .` exits 1 at count zero — the ||-guard on that pipeline silently disabled the rescue exactly when it mattered. Verified: hazard V2 (VM reproduces the dead state); control discriminator 5/5; flake check green. V3 pending: real-dock undock-while-off in HARDWARE-QUEUE (run with nothing important open; crash on real DRM = rework the row to mirror or wait for a Hyprland bump).

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.
