Hardware queue — V3 checks only a human can run

Everything shipped at V1/V2 whose final verification needs real hardware. Agents append (newest at the bottom of a section) with exact steps; Bernardo runs them and either checks off ([x] + date + verdict) or files the failure as a NOW bug in BACKLOG.md. Checked-off entries are pruned on the next sync sweep (LOOP.md §5) — outcomes live in the journal/ROADMAP; git history is the archive. Machines: the AMD dev box (Ryzen AI laptop: AMD + fingerprint + NPU), the Latitude 5310/5410 (Intel QA), the T14s (webcam case).

Any machine (dev box is fine)

• #86 clamshell lid + external display — V2 asserts HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore in logind.conf. On a laptop with a real external monitor: open a session, plug external, close lid — machine must stay awake (no suspend); external panel remains usable (or wakes with keyboard if DPMS). Unplug external, close lid — should suspend as usual. Optional: with a docked display-profile (eDP-1 disable), confirm clamshell layout still looks right after lid close. Pass = no surprise suspend when docked.

• #87 round 2: dock audio auto-follow (watcher) — round 1 result (Newton, 2026-07-12): audio stayed on speakers when docking; the running generation had no 90-nomarchy-dock-audio rules yet, and live testing showed the priority rules alone can never win anyway — WirePlumber's stored default (default-nodes state, written by any past explicit pick) outranks priority.session, and this machine (like most) has one. Fix shipped: the nomarchy-dock-audio user service pactl set-default-sinks dock-class sinks on hotplug; EasyEffects follows the default (verified live: EE's output links moved to a fake dock-named null sink mid-playback). Retest after pull+rebuild+home on ≥ this rev: play audio, plug the dock → toast "Audio → <monitor/dock>" and sound moves with EE effects still active; unplug → sound returns to speakers; while docked, picking speakers in the Audio menu sticks until the next replug. If it does NOT switch, capture for diagnosis: pactl subscribe output during the plug, pactl --format=json list sinks while docked (sink names may not match the dock regexes, or the sink node may pre-exist and only flip route availability — the watcher keys on new-sink events).

• Docked display/audio menu rows (2026-07-12) — with a real external monitor: Display menu shows "Laptop screen off · everything → " (only with >1 active output), "Screen on · " after a disable, "Move workspace · → next monitor", "Swap workspaces" (exactly 2 outputs). Laptop-off must move its workspaces to the external; Screen on restores it (preferred/auto — declared scale/pos return at the next relogin/switch). Audio menu shows "Send output → " when one exists and isn't default; picking it moves output + toasts. Pass = rows appear/act as described, and none of them show on a single-display session. Also — run this one with nothing important open: with the laptop screen off via the menu, physically unplug the dock. The panel should re-enable within ~2s (rescue_blackout in the display watcher). Known risk from the VM harness (tools/monitor-fallback.nix): on Hyprland 0.55.4 the zero-output state itself can crash the compositor faster than any rescue (softGL VM: 4/5 runs; control with the panel active survives always) — a crash on real DRM ends the session to the greeter on the re-lit panel. If that happens on hardware, the "Laptop screen off" row needs a rework (mirror instead of disable, or drop until a Hyprland bump) — file it as a NOW bug with the coredump.

• #55 fingerprint enroll on real reader — with nomarchy.hardware.fingerprint.enable and a physical reader: System › Fingerprint › Enroll a finger; List shows it; Verify succeeds; optional Use for login (on) → nomarchy-rebuild → login/sudo accept fingerprint. Menu surface is V1/V2 without a reader (self-gate + dry paths).

• #60 non-BAT battery name (if available)* — on a machine whose system battery is not named BAT* (e.g. CMB0): confirm charge-limit oneshot writes the threshold, System › Battery limit and Power profile rows appear, Waybar power-profile module shows, doctor charge-limit section runs. On BAT0-only machines this is a no-op (charge-limit re-apply passed on BAT0 — Latitude 2026-07-10).

• btop theme fidelity (#52 residual) — softGL theme-shot cannot open Ghostty, so the hand btop.theme assets were only guest-file asserted (main_bg / inactive_fg keys) + desktop/bar rendered for rose-pine, everforest, summer-night, vantablack, catppuccin. On a real session: nomarchy-theme-sync apply <slug> then btop and confirm backgrounds/text match the theme (esp. rose-pine Dawn light bg #faf4ed, vantablack near-black #0d0d0d, catppuccin Mocha #1E1E2E). One pass cycling those five is enough.

• SSH_AUTH_SOCK for GUI clients — after relogin, launch a GUI git client (or rofi-launched terminal-less app) and confirm it reaches gpg-agent's SSH socket without an interactive shell parent.

• Notification inhibited-state glyph (item 28 color-only sweep, iteration #69) — have an app hold a notification inhibitor (e.g. run a fullscreen video, or busctl --user call org.freedesktop.Notifications … Inhibit); the Waybar bell must switch to the muted bell-off 󰂛 (same glyph as DND), NOT the normal bell 󰂜/󰂚. Then release it → the bell returns. Repeat on a whole-swap bar (summer-day/night use their own bell-off glyph, executive-slate/boreal use 󰂛). The glyph itself already renders (DND uses it); this only confirms swaync emits the inhibited-* class and the bar routes it.

• Keyboard layout cycle bind — with a comma layout (e.g. nomarchy.keyboard.layout = "us,de"), SUPER+SHIFT+K cycles the focused keyboard's layout, the Waybar 󰌌 indicator follows, and the row shows in the SUPER+? cheatsheet. — 2026-07-04 attempt: no comma layout was configured, so the bind wasn't rendered (the gate working as designed, not a failure) — retest after setting a comma layout + rebuild + relogin. The SUPER+? no-op found en route was a real bug → BACKLOG item 26 (fix shipped; SUPER+? cheatsheet PASS on Latitude 2026-07-10).

• swaync readable on summer-day (item 25 fix) — on summer-day after home-update: notify-send "title" "body text" shows readable body text; open the control centre (SUPER+N), hover a notification row and check the Clear button — all text legible (body/buttons now @text on tinted chips, not subtext/surface).

• Bar + rofi legible on flexoki-light (item 27 fix) — switch to flexoki-light: every Waybar module readable (window title, tray row, dimmed inactive workspaces / muted volume visible-but-dim), rofi inputbar/alternate rows show text. Spot-check one dark theme (e.g. tokyo-night) for no visual regression in the same spots.

• Stub-bar themes got the generated bar (item 28, 90a5104) — switch to catppuccin, lumon, nord and retro-82: each now shows the generated styled bar in its own palette (workspace pill, padded right cluster) instead of the old raw default Waybar. Their rofi menus should look unchanged.

• Back-audit spot-check (item 24) — the keybinds cheatsheet (SUPER+? / root menu › Keybindings) now ends in ↩ Back and returns to the root picker; spot a couple of submenus (Display, VPN › Tailscale) still Back correctly after the audit pass.

• Keyboard hotplug picker (re-verify after in-flake graduation) — plug an external keyboard post-login, pick a layout in rofi, confirm it applies per-device only, persists in settings.keyboard.devices, and graduates into a device{} block on the next rebuild.

• Snapshots restore + rollback exercise (residual — the GUI/polkit half passed on hardware 2026-07-04, a47aa3a): in sudo nomarchy-snapshots, restore a single file (undochange) and walk a root-config rollback up to (or through) the typed-yes gate.

• Rollback menu (item 9b) — after a couple of theme changes, menu › System › Rollback: recent desktop generations listed (newest marked current); picking an older one opens a terminal, activates it, and the theme visibly reverts; picking the newer one again rolls forward. The two System rows: Snapshots opens the snapshot flow, "boot an older generation (how)" fires an instruction notification.

• Open-a-file smoke (viewers + mime defaults, item 8) — after nomarchy-home: from yazi/Thunar, open a PDF (→ zathura, themed to the palette), an image (→ imv, NOT GIMP), a video (→ mpv); xdg-open . on a directory → Thunar; a link → Chromium (chromium-browser.desktop — template default as of 2026-07-10).

• Update awareness — with nomarchy.updates.enable, let the timer fire (or start the unit): indicator appears only when inputs are behind, notification only on count growth, click opens the upgrade flow.

• VPN menu live paths — import a real WireGuard .conf and an .ovpn via System → VPN, toggle up/down (● / ○ state), and the Tailscale block: up/down + exit-node without sudo (operator grant). Exit-node rows now show "hostname — Country City" (2026-07-11, header-offset parsing): confirm Mullvad-style nodes carry their location, a locationless self-hosted node stays a bare hostname, and picking either still sets the node (tailscale status shows it).

• Printer menu — with nomarchy.services.printing, System → Printers opens system-config-printer; add a printer, test page.

• GRUB UEFI ISO theme render — boot the ISO on UEFI hardware: composed splash background, palette menu in the lower third, accent timeout bar.

• Visual theme pass — live ISO: all six identity themes (bars) + the four authored rofi .rasi (nord/retro-82/lumon/kanagawa) look right, not just parse.

• Display profiles, slice a (item 15) — declare two nomarchy.displayProfiles (e.g. docked disables eDP-1 + arranges the externals; undocked re-enables it), home-update, then: System › Display › Profiles lists them (● marks active); applying is instant (no rebuild) and survives a relogin (the baked overlay); "Base layout" restores; a menu resolution pick made earlier must NOT re-enable a profile-disabled panel after the next rebuild.

• Display profiles workspace pins, slice c (item 15) — give the docked profile workspaces = { "1" = "<ext>"; "9" = "eDP-1"; }: applying the profile moves open workspaces 1/9 to those outputs immediately, new visits land there too, and the pins survive a relogin (baked workspace rules). Switching to a profile without pins leaves workspaces where they are (stale session pins are expected until reload/rebuild — noted in the applier).

• Display profiles auto-switch, slice b (item 15) — same setup, then menu › Profiles › Auto-switch on: plugging the dock/monitor applies the matching profile within ~3s (toast names it); unplugging switches back; Auto-switch off stops that; with two profiles naming the same outputs, no flapping (ties do nothing).

• P2 retunes eyeball (item 28b) — spot-check on top of the P1 entry below: gruvbox/nord/lumon/everforest/retro-82/white dimmed text (inactive workspaces, muted volume) now visible-but-dim; latte + rose-pine(dawn) + summer-day warn/battery tint reads on the light bases; flexoki-light statuses are the deeper canonical 600s; latte selected-row/alt-accent pink darker. Anything that lost its "dim" feel → reopen 28b.

• Retuned palettes eyeball (item 28b P1) — switch through summer-day, flexoki-light, kanagawa, miasma: chips/menus/toasts now draw on a raised surface (summer-day's was slate-on-cream, kanagawa's near-black, miasma's pure black), secondary text (tooltips, fastfetch labels) is visible on summer-day + flexoki-light, kanagawa floats are lighter than the bg (upstream sumiInk4). Anything that reads worse than before → reopen 28b.

• Doctor bar tripwire (LATER item) — with everything healthy the bar shows nothing; systemctl --user start doomed-style induced failure → within ~5 min a red appears (tooltip lists the ✖ lines), clicking opens the sheet in a terminal; reset-failed → it disappears on the next poll. Also visible on both summer bars.

• OCR region (LATER item) — Tools › Capture › "OCR region → clipboard": select a region with visible text → toast reports the word count and wl-paste yields the text; Esc in slurp cancels silently; a text-free region toasts "No text recognized" without clobbering the clipboard.

• Look & Feel submenu (item 19) — root menu: "Look & Feel" (replacing Theme, root still six rows) → Theme grid opens, Next wallpaper cycles instantly, Night light toggles (and is GONE from System). SUPER+T / SUPER+SHIFT+T direct binds unchanged.

• Launch-or-focus (item 17) — uncomment the template's nomarchy.launchOrFocus firefox example (with firefox installed), home-update + reload: SUPER+B launches firefox when closed, FOCUSES the existing window when open (also from another workspace); with firefox removed the bind fires a "not installed" toast; the row shows under SUPER+?.

• Themed greeter + console (item 16) — after sys-rebuild + logout: tuigreet renders in theme colors (dark container, accent border, themed prompt/time) and a raw tty (CTRL+ALT+F2) shows the theme's ANSI palette; on a LUKS machine the passphrase prompt follows too. Then switch theme + sys-rebuild + logout → the greeter follows the new palette. (tuigreet can't run under the VM harness — see MEMORY.md — so rendering is hardware-tier.)

• Color picker (item 13, final slice) — SUPER+CTRL+P (or Tools › Color picker): hyprpicker's zoom loupe appears; click a pixel → toast shows the hex and wl-paste yields it; Esc cancels with no toast. Row present in the SUPER+? cheatsheet.

• Low-battery toasts (item 13 slice) — on battery, drain past 25%: one "Battery low" toast; past 10%: a critical "Battery critical" toast that stays up until dismissed (swaync); plug in, drain again → it re-notifies; no repeat toasts while it just keeps draining. (Crossing logic VM-verified — this checks the real swaync rendering in a session.)

• Audio opens in Amberol (iteration #60, item 37) — after nomarchy-home: double-click an mp3/flac/ogg (or xdg-open song.mp3) → it opens in Amberol, not mpv; video files still open in mpv. (xdg-mime query default audio/mpeg → io.bassi.Amberol.desktop.)

• rofi menu polish (iteration #58, item 39 + #56/#57 34/40) — after nomarchy-home: (a) menu › System › Power profile shows a colored icon per profile (performance/balanced/power-saver), not just text — icons render (not blank); (b) every submenu's ↩ Back shows a single arrow, no double; (c) on this single-monitor box, System › Display → pick a resolution → Back returns to System (not back into the same resolution list).

• Screenshot annotation (satty) (iteration #73) — after nomarchy-home: hit SUPER+SHIFT+Print (or Tools ▸ Capture ▸ Annotate region) → a region select (slurp) appears, then the satty UI opens in fullscreen with the screenshot loaded. Check that the UI draws on the current theme palette (tools colored properly) and hitting save places the screenshot in ~/Pictures/Screenshots/ while hitting copy places it in the clipboard.

• #76 no-swap Hibernate notify (#76 itself is closed — the hibernate→resume power-cycle PASSED on TuringMachine 2026-07-12: Bernardo ran the full hibernate → power off → single LUKS unlock → session-restored cycle "flawlessly"; this notify check is the one remaining leftover) — on a Nomarchy machine installed with swap = 0 (or temporarily sudo swapoff -a on one): nomarchy-menu → Power → Hibernate must surface a desktop notification ("Couldn't hibernate — likely no swap is configured. See docs/MIGRATION.md → Enabling hibernation."), not a silent no-op. (swapon after, if you swapoff'd for the test.)

• Night-light geo mode (2026-07-11) — in home.nix set nomarchy.nightlight = { enable = true; latitude = "<lat>"; longitude = "<long>"; } (your real coordinates), nomarchy-home, relogin. Then: systemctl --user status wlsunset is running (and hyprsunset is NOT); after local sunset the screen visibly warms (or test by setting coordinates where it's currently night); the Waybar moon + menu toggle still flip it instantly and an off survives relogin (the ExecCondition gate on the swapped unit — the eval check proves the wiring, not the runtime gate). Pass = warm shift at the location's night + toggle/persistence intact.

AMD dev box only

• AMD runtime bits — VA-API (vainfo → radeonsi), amd-pstate EPP active and PPD switching governors; opt-ins: ROCm (rocminfo, a GPU PyTorch/Ollama smoke) and the XDNA NPU driver loading.
• Fingerprint — fprintd-enroll + (opt-in PAM) login/sudo.
• System ▸ Firmware menu on real LVFS hardware (item #43, nomarchy-menu firmware) — on a machine whose firmware/SSD/dock is on LVFS: open Menu ▸ System ▸ Firmware; confirm the terminal runs fwupdmgr refresh → lists real get-updates → the y/N confirm gates correctly → fwupdmgr update applies and prints the reboot note when a capsule needs one. Verify no flash happens on "N"/cancel. (VM only proves the menu row + flow renders; a real capsule write is hardware-only.)

Latitude 5310 / 5410 only

• v1 QA batch on-hardware pass (583708d batch was QEMU-verified) — general smoke before the next main → v1 promotion (broader than the 2026-07-10 session; include theme/ISO/greeter leftovers).

T14s only

• Webcam IR-hide end-to-end on Nomarchy — installer detects the RGB+IR pair, bakes hardware.camera.hideIrSensor; wpctl status shows one colour source; an app picker lists one camera; Howdy-style direct /dev/video2 reads still work.
• Portal/Flatpak libcamera IR (b)/(c) — after #71 docs: on hardware, confirm a Flatpak/portal picker still lists the internal IR node; only then investigate (b) WirePlumber libcamera GREY-only monitor rule or (c) libcamera/udev-layer hide. Do not ship either without a live dual-sensor check (see HARDWARE.md §7 / ROADMAP § Webcam).
