Four failures from Bernardo's round-4 dock pass on the AMD dev box, plus a headphone regression, tracked to three causes. The display watcher ran socat with `-T 1`, which closes Hyprland's IPC socket after one second of *inactivity*. A dock is normally plugged into an idle desktop, so the socket was almost always mid-reconnect at that moment and `monitoradded` was lost outright — and the wallpaper repaint, the docking profile, and the dock-audio reprobe all hung off that single event. The reconnect path recovered only the lid inhibitor, so the dock stayed half-configured until something else poked the watcher. Make the connection long-lived and take the periodic tick from a 1s `read` timeout instead, then let the *output set* — not the event — decide: a new `reconcile` diffs it and is called on both ticks and monitor events, so an event now only makes the reaction instant rather than necessary. A newly present external output is as unambiguous a physical plug as the event was, so it may still override a manual sink choice. Wallpaper paints are retried over the first few seconds because awww registers an output on its own schedule, not the compositor's. Hyprland calls every key-capable evdev node a "keyboard": the lid and power buttons, a monitor's control channel, and each extra HID collection of a real keyboard. One dock with one keyboard asked for a layout four times. udev already draws the distinction properly, so take ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD from it, map the names into Hyprland's spelling, and ask once per physical keyboard — applying the answer to every node it brought with it. Finally, a sink WirePlumber has been told to prefer is stored as the configured default and outranks every priority rule. On UCM cards the headphones are a sink of their own rather than a route, so once anything pinned a sink (this feature on a dock plug, or the user in the Audio menu), plugging headphones in could no longer take the audio back. The `watch` loop already subscribed to exactly the right events with an empty handler; finish it. Unplug needs no undo — the pin goes stale and WirePlumber falls back by priority on its own, to the dock when docked and the speakers otherwise. Verified V2: checks.docking-ux and checks.dock-audio pass with new guards against each regression; the keyboard filter and both sink selectors run against the dev box's real devices and sink names. The hotplug paths need hardware — queued as docking round 5. Also queues #107, renaming theme.json now that it holds the system state. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
