docs(hardware): install-tested hall of fame (#85)
HARDWARE.md §9 lists T14s Gen 4 + Latitude 5410/5310 with DMI/profile
notes and a "send your DMI line" PR invite. Split dock life #84 into
#86 clamshell + #87 dock audio (stable new IDs).

Verified: V0 (docs/backlog only).

# 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
*(empty — NEXT's top item is the queue head)*
## NEXT
### 76. Hibernation default — all agent work shipped `[blocked:hw]`
Hibernation + zram on by default (product intent, Bernardo 2026-07-10).
**All V0/V1/V2 slices done** (2026-07-10); only the V3 check remains — on a
machine **actually running Nomarchy** (the dev box runs Bernardo's own NixOS,
not Nomarchy, so it can't close it). Steps in HARDWARE-QUEUE. Design record in
**ROADMAP § Hibernation + zram by default**. Shipped:
- zram default (`modules/nixos/oom.nix`, zstd/50%/prio 100) — `checks.zram-swap`.
- Installer/template already default new installs to a RAM-sized encrypted
`@swap` swapfile + `resume_offset` wiring; `swapSize=0` = no-swap opt-out.
- `docs/MIGRATION.md` enable-hibernation runbook (existing machines).
- `rofi.nix` Power → Hibernate: kept unconditional, **notifies on failure**.
- `checks.hibernate` VM test (V2 PASS) — hibernate→resume→crash round-trip
(swap partition); zram (prio 100) doesn't swallow the image, disk carries it.
- `checks.hibernate-swapfile` VM test (V2 PASS) — the installer's btrfs `@swap`
**swapfile** setup: NOCOW `mkswapfile`, file-type swapon, a valid
`map-swapfile -r` offset the kernel accepts (`/sys/power/resume_offset`),
zram above it. (Bounded proof of the swapfile+offset the partition test
can't reach; a full runtime-swapfile hibernate isn't headless-reachable —
systemd `CanHibernate=no` for undeclared swap.)
**V3 remaining (narrowed):** the literal encrypted-swapfile power-cycle —
`Hibernate → power off → unlock LUKS → resume session` on the LUKS+@swap
layout — plus the no-swap notify in a real session. QEMU can't feed a
runtime-computed `resume_offset` into the boot cmdline, and the dev box runs
exactly this layout (`/proc/cmdline` verified) but isn't Nomarchy. Steps in
HARDWARE-QUEUE. Close #76 on PASS.
### 86. Clamshell dock: lid + external monitor (`VISION § C`)
Lid closed with external monitor connected must not suspend
(`logind` `lidSwitchDocked` / `ExternalPower` audit + display-profile
interplay); wake behaves. Display profiles + auto-switch already exist —
this is the lid/suspend edge case. VM where possible; residual V3 on
real dock hardware.
### 87. Dock audio sink follows plug/unplug (`VISION § C`)
Default audio sink: dock sink on plug, internal on unplug (WirePlumber
policy or udev hook). Complements #86; can ship independently.
## LATER
- **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 (NOW#3 should
also soften that blocker class).
## 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/4GB 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/AC items (#47#63, #14, #52 theme
high-ROI, etc.) live in the journal + ROADMAP — not here.*
### Product / day-2
- **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.
_(#80#83 + #85 shipped 2026-07-11. #84 split → **NEXT #86#87** dock
clamshell + dock audio.)_
### v1.0 pointer
See **VISION**. Open PROPOSED: NVIDIA wrappers deferred past v1; IR
portal (b)/(c) need T14s hardware (HARDWARE-QUEUE § T14s). Standing
calls: browser default = Chromium; power backend = 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; Omarchys 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.
Implementation is a future/NEXT item when designed (installer +
resume device + encrypted-root story).
### 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**.
