A VM regression test caught that btrfs-assistant 2.2 segfaults on launch inside libbtrfsutil.so.1.4.0 -- a library ABI mismatch in nixpkgs 26.05, not a GL/VM artifact (crashes with software GL and every Qt platform; the fault is in a btrfs library). The snapshot menu wiring is correct and the app is installed, but the GUI doesn't open. The snapshot backend is unaffected and is itself VM-verified (full BTRFS+LUKS install: root+home snapper configs, a /home timeline snapshot, /home/.snapshots a real subvolume, the oneshot Result=success). Keep the entry, document the bug pending a nixpkgs fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Roadmap & changelog
|
||
|
||
Forward-looking plans, plus a running log of shipped fixes (the
|
||
"Known issues & follow-ups" section). Split out of the README so that
|
||
stays a focused entry point — what Nomarchy is, how to install it, and
|
||
how to override it. Items marked ✓ are shipped.
|
||
|
||
## Roadmap
|
||
- **Menu system** (apps launcher + theme switching + system actions), built
|
||
on rofi 2.0 (native Wayland on 26.05) — its `.rasi` theme is baked from
|
||
theme-state.json like every other app, with rich per-element styling:
|
||
- ✓ shipped: `modules/home/rofi.nix` (per-element theme generated from
|
||
the palette, `themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi` whole-swap) and the
|
||
`nomarchy-menu` dispatcher: root picker (no args) · `power`
|
||
(lock/logout/suspend/hibernate/reboot/shutdown, SUPER+X) ·
|
||
`theme` (SUPER+T) · `clipboard` (cliphist, SUPER+CTRL+V) · `calc`
|
||
(rofi-calc, live, SUPER+CTRL+C) · `files` (fd → xdg-open,
|
||
SUPER+CTRL+F) · `emoji` (rofi-emoji, SUPER+CTRL+E) · `web` (Google).
|
||
SUPER+D is `rofi -show drun`.
|
||
- ✓ shipped modules: `network` (nmtui in `$TERMINAL`) · `bluetooth`
|
||
(blueman-manager) · `capture` (grim/slurp submenu: region/full →
|
||
clipboard/file, saved to `~/Pictures/Screenshots`) · `keybinds` (the
|
||
cheatsheet, see below) · `ask` (free-text → claude CLI in a terminal;
|
||
auths via OAuth, no API key; pulled fresh via `npx
|
||
@anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest` rather than the nixpkgs package, which
|
||
lags model releases — `nodejs` is bundled for npx; REPL stays open)
|
||
- ✓ keybindings cheatsheet: `modules/home/keybinds.nix` is the **single
|
||
source** for both the Hyprland binds and the SUPER+? rofi list, so they
|
||
can't drift; `nomarchy-menu keybinds` renders the padded two-column
|
||
sheet (generated/mouse binds carried in its `extra` rows)
|
||
- ✓ shipped binds: `SUPER+Space` → `rofi -show drun` (quick launch) ·
|
||
`SUPER+M` → `nomarchy-menu` (main menu) · `SUPER+?` → the cheatsheet;
|
||
`SUPER+D` stays `-show drun`
|
||
- launcher icons: ✓ `show-icons` on, drawing from the theme's icon set
|
||
(Papirus, via the icon-themes work below)
|
||
- decision record: resolves the old Walker/Lua question — no GTK4
|
||
launcher, no second theming pipeline; the dispatcher owns the menu
|
||
structure, so the renderer stays swappable (we moved fuzzel → rofi 2.0
|
||
once mainline gained native Wayland, for its richer theming)
|
||
- ✓ **Menu modules from rofi plugins:** the old `calc` flow committed the
|
||
expression blind (result only in the *next* menu's `-mesg`) and `qalc -t`
|
||
misparsed common phrasings (`15% of 200` → `rem(15, 1 B)`, the natural-
|
||
language "of" tripping the CLI). Resolved by adopting purpose-built rofi
|
||
modi (`programs.rofi.plugins`), all themed through the same `.rasi`:
|
||
- **calc** → **rofi-calc**: live results as you type via libqalculate
|
||
directly (dodging the qalc-CLI "of" bug), Enter copies, menu persists
|
||
to chain calculations.
|
||
- **emoji** → **rofi-emoji** (new module, SUPER+CTRL+E): glyph picker,
|
||
copies via the plugin's Wayland clipboard adapter.
|
||
- **files** stays the hand-rolled `fd` → `rofi -dmenu` → xdg-open fuzzy
|
||
search: rofi-file-browser-extended was tried and dropped — its
|
||
navigate-a-tree model felt worse than flat fuzzy-find for a quick
|
||
launcher, and yazi (SUPER+E) already covers real browsing.
|
||
- **More menu modules from rofi tools:** the script-based counterparts
|
||
(run via `rofi -dmenu`, like the hand-rolled modules), each a deliberate
|
||
replacement of an existing flow: **rofi-network-manager** (a keyboard
|
||
wifi/VPN picker vs today's `nmtui`-in-terminal `network`), **rofi-rbw /
|
||
rofi-pass** (a secrets module — Bitwarden via rbw, or `pass` — pairs with
|
||
`keys.nix`), and **rofi-pulse-select** (an audio sink/source switcher).
|
||
Decide per-module whether it earns replacing the current path.
|
||
- **Theme parity with legacy:** summer-day/night now carry their legacy
|
||
bar layouts as `waybar.jsonc` whole-swaps (adapted: dead legacy script
|
||
modules dropped, Nerd-Fonts-v2 codepoints remapped to FontAwesome/v3,
|
||
logo button opens nomarchy-menu); the other four identity themes are
|
||
palette recolors and already match. Remaining: a visual pass over all
|
||
six on the live ISO
|
||
- **Per-theme rofi identity:** the `themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi` whole-swap
|
||
ships, and summer-day/night carry their legacy designs (inverted window,
|
||
green inputbar, yellow bottom-border). Remaining: author `.rasi`
|
||
identities for the other four ported themes if/when they want one (the
|
||
generated palette theme is the default and looks fine)
|
||
- **Faster switches:** move `backgrounds/` out of the flake source (the 86 MB
|
||
re-copy on every state write is the main eval tax), then pre-built theme
|
||
variants if still needed
|
||
- Greeter (tuigreet/SDDM) theming from the same JSON (Plymouth ships since
|
||
v1: `nomarchy.system.plymouth.*`, background tinted from the state file)
|
||
- Installer round 2: multi-disk BTRFS RAID, impermanence, BIOS/legacy
|
||
boot (v1 `nomarchy-install` is single-disk UEFI — see `pkgs/nomarchy-install`)
|
||
- launch-or-focus UX scripts (swayosd volume/brightness OSD ships since v1:
|
||
`nomarchy.osd.*`, media keys drive `swayosd-client`, themed from the JSON)
|
||
- **Distro branding, round 2:** `distroName = "Nomarchy"` ships
|
||
(os-release `PRETTY_NAME`, systemd-boot entries, ISO menu label).
|
||
✓ tuigreet greeting (`Welcome to <distroName>`) and a branded `users.motd`
|
||
(doubling as a helper cheat sheet), both keyed off `distroName`.
|
||
✓ `isoImage.splashImage` — the vendored vector logo
|
||
(`modules/nixos/branding/logo.svg`, from legacy) recolored to the palette
|
||
accent on the theme base, built at ISO-build time (`hosts/live.nix`).
|
||
Remaining: `isoImage.grubTheme` so UEFI boot matches the isolinux splash
|
||
(needs a full grub theme dir), and the `distroId` question (it changes
|
||
`DEFAULT_HOSTNAME` and upstream `isNixos` checks — needs a test pass;
|
||
nixos-* CLI names stay regardless)
|
||
- ✓ **fastfetch branding:** `modules/home/fastfetch.nix`
|
||
(`nomarchy.fastfetch.enable`) — the vendored vector logo, recolored to
|
||
the palette accent and rendered to compact block-art via chafa at build
|
||
time (tracks the theme), fronting a curated module list. Replaces the
|
||
oversized legacy ASCII with a themed, sized logo.
|
||
- ✓ **Nomarchy logo font in Waybar:** vendored `Nomarchy.ttf`
|
||
(`modules/nixos/branding/`), installed via `fonts.packages`, and the
|
||
summer-day/night menu buttons now use its `U+F000` glyph with
|
||
`font-family: Nomarchy` pinned in their CSS (Nerd Fonts also occupy
|
||
U+F000, so the pin is required). The other themes have no logo button.
|
||
- **Quality-of-life command aliases:** assemble a curated collection of
|
||
shell aliases/abbreviations for common operations (git, nix, navigation,
|
||
the nomarchy helpers, …), themed into the zsh shell experience
|
||
(`modules/home/shell.nix`). Decide scope and which to ship on by default.
|
||
- **Theme-switch feedback:** ✓ the "rebuilding…" notification is now
|
||
persistent (timeout 0) and replaced in place by "applied ✓" / failure
|
||
via a synchronous tag, so a multi-minute switch never reads as a failed
|
||
selection. (An honest indeterminate indicator — HM gives no % — a
|
||
literal progress widget would be cosmetic; revisit only if wanted.)
|
||
- **Icon themes:** ✓ ships `papirus-icon-theme`; the resolved name lives on
|
||
`nomarchy.theme.iconTheme` (the JSON's optional `icons` field, else
|
||
Papirus-Dark/Light by `mode`) and feeds both Stylix's `gtk.iconTheme`
|
||
(Thunar/GTK apps) and rofi's `show-icons`. Remaining (optional): per-theme
|
||
`icons` overrides for the presets, or shipping more icon packs.
|
||
- **Nicer shell out of the box:** ✓ zsh is the default login shell, with a
|
||
starship prompt themed from the JSON, autosuggestions + syntax
|
||
highlighting, and modern-CLI ergonomics — `cat`→bat (theme "ansi", so it
|
||
tracks the palette), `ls`→eza, `cd`→zoxide, plus `lt`/`tree`.
|
||
`nomarchy.shell.enable`. (Deliberately did NOT alias grep→rg / find→fd:
|
||
their flags differ enough to surprise; `rg`/`fd` ship as themselves.)
|
||
- **Default application suite:** install a complete-workstation set
|
||
(vscode, libreoffice, gimp, inkscape, texlive-full, …) behind a
|
||
`nomarchy.apps.*` option surface so each is individually opt-out for
|
||
users who want a leaner machine. Watch closure size (texlive-full is
|
||
multi-GB — likely default-off or a lighter scheme).
|
||
- ✓ **Plymouth logo contrast:** the shipped art was a fixed navy that
|
||
vanished on dark bases. `modules/nixos/plymouth.nix` now recolors every
|
||
element from the palette at build time (flat fill, alpha kept):
|
||
logo/lock/bullet → text, entry/progress-box → surface, progress-bar →
|
||
accent. Reads on light and dark; follows the theme as of the last system
|
||
rebuild (like the background tint).
|
||
- ✓ **Hibernate double-unlock:** on resume from hibernate the LUKS
|
||
passphrase already gates the machine, but locking hyprlock before sleep
|
||
meant a second password. Fixed by *not locking* before an encrypted
|
||
hibernate: a `nomarchy-lock-before-sleep` systemd unit
|
||
(`modules/nixos/default.nix`) takes over from hypridle's `before_sleep_cmd`
|
||
and locks on the RAM-resume sleeps (suspend / hybrid-sleep / suspend-then-
|
||
hibernate) always, but skips `hibernate.target` when the disk is LUKS-
|
||
encrypted. (A first attempt that dismissed hyprlock *after* resume was
|
||
wrong — killing a Wayland session-lock client trips its "go to a tty"
|
||
crash failsafe instead of unlocking, which is the error screen it caused.)
|
||
- ✓ **Key agents & pinentry:** ships `modules/home/keys.nix`
|
||
(`nomarchy.keys.enable`): one agent — `services.gpg-agent` with
|
||
`enableSshSupport` fronts SSH, so a single `pinentry-qt` (native-Wayland,
|
||
Stylix-themed Qt) handles GPG and SSH passphrases alike. `SSH_AUTH_SOCK`
|
||
comes from the agent's zsh integration; cache TTLs (30 min / 2 h) govern
|
||
re-prompting. gnome-keyring stays the Secret Service (modern versions run
|
||
no SSH agent, so no socket contention); screen lock doesn't flush the
|
||
cache. Remaining (optional): a session-level `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` export so GUI
|
||
clients launched outside a shell also see the agent.
|
||
- **Sanitize & organize the repo:** a housekeeping pass for consistency
|
||
and clarity.
|
||
- ✓ pruned now-redundant config: the installer no longer writes
|
||
`console.useXkbConfig` / `boot.initrd.systemd.enable` into `system.nix`
|
||
(distro-wide defaults since the LUKS-keymap fix), nor the offline-pin
|
||
test fixture in `flake.nix`.
|
||
- ✓ reconciled the README option tables with the live `nomarchy.*`
|
||
surface (added keys/fastfetch/snapper/greeter.autoLogin).
|
||
- ✓ untracked `.claude/settings.local.json` (machine-local) + gitignored.
|
||
- ✓ **branch/release model:** `main` is the development default; `v1` is
|
||
the release pointer downstreams pin (`?ref=v1`), advanced to main once
|
||
a batch is tested — rolling, no tags. Brought `main` current (it was a
|
||
stale legacy-merge), and deleted the dead `refactor` / `wave/nixos-26.05`
|
||
branches (kept `legacy` for history). See the comment in `flake.nix`.
|
||
- Remaining (optional): re-check that every file still earns its place
|
||
under the `modules`/`hosts`/`themes`/`pkgs`/`tools` rule of thumb.
|
||
- **Full docs review & restructure:** a dedicated pass over all the prose,
|
||
not just the code-adjacent cleanup the repo-sanitize item covers. The
|
||
README has grown to ~540 lines with a ~200-line roadmap inline — the
|
||
biggest single move is likely **splitting the roadmap out** (e.g.
|
||
`ROADMAP.md` / `docs/`) so the README stays a focused "what it is / how
|
||
to install / how to override" entry point. Also: reconcile every option
|
||
table against the live `nomarchy.*` surface (snapper and others are
|
||
missing); a pass over `docs/OVERRIDES.md` + `docs/TESTING.md` and the
|
||
`templates/downstream/README.md` for drift; check the install/first-run
|
||
story reads cleanly end to end; and decide whether anything wants a real
|
||
docs site vs. staying Markdown-in-repo. Pairs with the first-boot welcome
|
||
and control-center items (shared "how do I…" surface).
|
||
- **Laptop power / battery management:** a real power story behind a
|
||
`nomarchy.system.power.*` surface (`modules/nixos/power.nix`), replacing the
|
||
old "only `services.upower` for Waybar reporting" baseline:
|
||
- ✓ **profiles:** `power-profiles-daemon` ships by default (the upstream-
|
||
aligned choice — power-saver/balanced/performance via `powerprofilesctl`,
|
||
switched through polkit so no root prompt). A `power-profile` menu module
|
||
(in the SUPER+M picker) and the first Waybar `custom/*` indicator (click to
|
||
cycle) both **self-gate** on a battery being present + PPD running, so they
|
||
hide on desktops and under TLP — no system→home wiring. **TLP** is the
|
||
opt-in (`backend = "tlp"`) for deeper battery tuning; the two are mutually
|
||
exclusive (asserted).
|
||
- ✓ **thermal:** `thermald` behind `power.thermal.enable`; the installer
|
||
turns it on for a `GenuineIntel` CPU.
|
||
- ✓ **longevity:** `power.batteryChargeLimit` (e.g. 80) — a backend-
|
||
independent sysfs oneshot writes `charge_control_end_threshold`. Off by
|
||
default; the installer scaffolds it commented-out on laptops.
|
||
- ✓ **installer:** writes `power.laptop = true` (battery probe) and
|
||
`power.thermal.enable` (Intel) into the generated `system.nix`.
|
||
- ✓ **idle cohesion:** `modules/home/idle.nix` now suspends only on
|
||
battery (and sooner — 15 min vs the old fixed 30), gating the hypridle
|
||
suspend listener on a `nomarchy-on-ac` probe so a plugged-in machine
|
||
stays up mid-idle; lock/screen-off are unchanged on both sources.
|
||
logind's lid handling is left at its defaults (suspend on lid close,
|
||
ignore when docked) — an explicit "I'm done" that coheres with the
|
||
idle behaviour.
|
||
- Remaining: a boot-only→event-driven charge-limit re-apply (udev) if a
|
||
firmware resets the threshold on unplug.
|
||
- ✓ **Waybar parity:** the `custom/powerprofile` indicator now shows in the
|
||
summer-day/night whole-swap themes too. `powerProfileStatus`/`Cycle` are
|
||
named `writeShellScriptBin`s on PATH (`waybar.nix` home.packages), so the
|
||
generated config and the static `waybar.jsonc` both exec them by bare
|
||
name (the same parity the DND bell has). General pattern: any new
|
||
generated-config module needs adding to the whole-swap themes too.
|
||
- **Full hardware enablement (beyond nixos-hardware):** nixos-hardware
|
||
profiles cover *basic* per-model functionality (quirks, drivers), but the
|
||
*advanced* features of a machine — keyed more on the CPU/GPU generation
|
||
than the model — are left for the user to wire up by hand. Close that gap
|
||
without making it finnicky: extend the installer's existing autodetection
|
||
(DMI → nixos-hardware profile today; add CPU vendor/arch, GPU, NPU,
|
||
fingerprint reader, SSD) to switch on the *safe, broadly-beneficial*
|
||
features automatically, and expose a small `nomarchy.hardware.*` surface
|
||
(per-vendor where it helps, e.g. `nomarchy.hardware.amd.*`) for the heavy
|
||
or experimental bits. Goal: full utilisation out of the box — opt-*out* for
|
||
the safe defaults, opt-*in* for the multi-GB / experimental extras.
|
||
Complements nixos-hardware (model quirks) rather than replacing it; keep
|
||
the detection in the installer's `hardware-db` so an installed machine
|
||
bakes the right defaults, all overridable through `nomarchy.hardware.*`.
|
||
Worked example — ThinkPad T14s (Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U + Radeon 780M):
|
||
- **GPU compute — ROCm:** the 780M is an RDNA3 iGPU (gfx1103) ROCm doesn't
|
||
officially list, so it needs `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0`. Multi-GB
|
||
closure → opt-in (`nomarchy.hardware.amd.rocm.enable`); unlocks GPU
|
||
PyTorch / Ollama.
|
||
- **Ryzen AI NPU (XDNA):** the `amdxdna` kernel driver (mainline 6.14+) +
|
||
the XRT/xdna userspace runtime + firmware. Niche/experimental → opt-in.
|
||
- **AMD P-State EPP (Zen 4 power):** `amd_pstate=active` for the EPP
|
||
governor, which power-profiles-daemon (already shipped, `power.nix`)
|
||
drives per profile. Broadly beneficial on Zen 2+ → default on when the
|
||
installer sees an AMD CPU.
|
||
- **Hardware video acceleration (VA-API):** mesa's radeonsi exposes VA-API
|
||
on AMD (`LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi`, libva + drivers in
|
||
`hardware.graphics.extraPackages`); Intel uses `intel-media-driver`.
|
||
Broadly beneficial → default on, vendor-detected.
|
||
- **LVFS firmware & biometrics:** fwupd already ships (✓, `services.fwupd`).
|
||
Add fingerprint: `services.fprintd` when a reader is detected, with
|
||
opt-in PAM integration for login/sudo (password-only stays the default
|
||
for the cautious).
|
||
- **SSD periodic TRIM:** `services.fstrim.enable` (weekly) — safe and
|
||
beneficial, so default on (trivial enough it may warrant being
|
||
distro-wide regardless).
|
||
Sub-items here can graduate into their own roadmap entries as they're
|
||
scoped; the unifying work is the detection + `nomarchy.hardware.*` surface.
|
||
- **Opt-in services & integrations:** the counterpart to the opt-*out*
|
||
application suite above — heavier or more personal integrations shipped
|
||
**off by default**, each a `nomarchy.services.<name>.enable` toggle a
|
||
downstream flips on in one line. Keeps the base lean while making common
|
||
additions trivial. Candidates by area:
|
||
- **cloud/sync:** Nextcloud client; Syncthing (`services.syncthing`)
|
||
- **local AI:** LM Studio (`lmstudio`); Ollama (`services.ollama`, optional
|
||
GPU accel) — pairs with the menu's Ask-Claude philosophy
|
||
- **containers/VMs:** Docker/Podman; libvirt + virt-manager
|
||
- **networking:** Tailscale (`services.tailscale`); WireGuard
|
||
- **gaming/media:** Steam (`programs.steam`); OBS Studio
|
||
- **devices:** printing (CUPS + Avahi); KDE Connect / phone integration;
|
||
OpenRGB
|
||
- **backup:** restic/borg (`services.restic`)
|
||
- **escape hatch:** Flatpak (`services.flatpak`) for apps outside nixpkgs
|
||
|
||
Decisions: the curated set; whether system services and GUI apps share one
|
||
surface or split (`nomarchy.services.*` system-side vs home-side packages);
|
||
and how it relates to `nomarchy.apps.*` (opt-out suite). Unfree entries are
|
||
already covered (`allowUnfree = true`).
|
||
- ✓ **Display / monitor management:** declarative `nomarchy.monitors` (a
|
||
per-output schema — name/resolution/position/scale/transform/mirror/
|
||
bitdepth/vrr/disable) generates Hyprland `monitor` rules, keeping the
|
||
`,preferred,auto,1` wildcard as the fallback; Hyprland applies them on
|
||
hotplug, so a declared external/dock output arranges itself on connect
|
||
(no kanshi — it fights Hyprland's own output management). `nwg-displays`
|
||
ships behind `nomarchy.displays.enable` as an interactive arranger (a
|
||
helper to find values; the declarative config stays the source of truth —
|
||
its output file isn't sourced). Remaining: true docked/undocked **profile
|
||
switching** of the *same* outputs (Hyprland's per-output rules cover the
|
||
common "external connects → arrange" case, not multi-layout toggles), and
|
||
optionally workspace-to-monitor binding.
|
||
- **Night light / blue-light filter:** schedulable colour-temperature shift
|
||
via `hyprsunset` (Hyprland-native; wlsunset/gammastep are alternatives) —
|
||
sunset/sunrise or a fixed schedule, with a menu + Waybar toggle.
|
||
- **Keyboard layouts (per-device + switching):**
|
||
- ✓ **Per-device declarative layout:** `nomarchy.keyboard.devices`
|
||
(`{ "<hyprctl-device-name>" = { layout; variant; }; }`) generates Hyprland
|
||
`device` blocks that override the session `nomarchy.keyboard.layout` for a
|
||
named keyboard — e.g. an external board that's physically a different
|
||
layout than the laptop's. Hyprland applies it whenever that device
|
||
connects (the "external keyboard remembers its layout" case, done the
|
||
declarative way). A Waybar `hyprland/language` indicator shows the active
|
||
layout, gated on more than one layout being in play (comma in the session
|
||
layout, or any per-device override) so single-layout bars stay clean.
|
||
- ✓ **Interactive new-keyboard prompt (runtime + persist):** set
|
||
`nomarchy.keyboard.layouts` (candidate layouts) and a `nomarchy-keyboard-
|
||
watch` daemon runs (exec-once): it polls `hyprctl devices`, and when a
|
||
keyboard connects *after* login that isn't in `keyboard.devices` and
|
||
hasn't been chosen before, it pops a rofi layout picker, applies the
|
||
choice with `hyprctl switchxkblayout` (an index into the candidate set,
|
||
which `input.kb_layout` carries), and remembers it per-device in
|
||
`~/.local/state/nomarchy/keyboard-layouts` — re-applied silently on later
|
||
reconnects. The boot-time set (incl. the built-in keyboard) is never
|
||
prompted. The runtime-remember complement to the declarative
|
||
`keyboard.devices`; a stateful runtime piece by design. **Pending an
|
||
on-hardware test** (hotplug isn't verifiable in CI). Remaining (bonus):
|
||
offer to write a choice into `keyboard.devices` so it graduates to the
|
||
reproducible config.
|
||
- Remaining: a multi-layout cycle bind (`hyprctl switchxkblayout` / xkb
|
||
`grp:` options) for switching layouts on one keyboard; add the
|
||
`hyprland/language` module to the summer whole-swap themes for parity
|
||
(the gating doesn't translate to their static JSON). Keep the system
|
||
(console/initrd) and session layouts in sync (the LUKS-keymap work).
|
||
- ✓ **Do-Not-Disturb:** swaync DND toggle wired into the menu
|
||
(`nomarchy-menu dnd`, in the picker, SUPER+CTRL+D) and a Waybar bell
|
||
indicator (`custom/notification` via `swaync-client -swb`: shows the
|
||
notification count + DND state, left-click toggles the panel,
|
||
right-click toggles DND). Turning DND off confirms with a toast; turning
|
||
it on is silent (notifications are suppressed — the bell-off glyph is the
|
||
cue).
|
||
- ✓ **Snapshot browse/restore UX:** `nomarchy-menu snapshot` (in the SUPER+M
|
||
picker, self-gated on snapper) launches **btrfs-assistant** — the
|
||
desktop browse/diff/restore/rollback UI, elevating via polkit (the safe
|
||
choice for a destructive, root-only op vs a fat-fingerable rofi rollback).
|
||
Shipped system-side gated on `nomarchy.system.snapper`. Also extended
|
||
snapper to snapshot **/home** by default (hourly 5 / daily 7 / weekly 4)
|
||
when it's its own BTRFS subvolume; a boot oneshot creates the required
|
||
`/home/.snapshots` subvolume if missing (covers existing installs, no disko
|
||
change). **The backend is VM-verified** (a full BTRFS+LUKS install: both
|
||
`root`+`home` configs, a `/home` timeline snapshot taken, `/home/.snapshots`
|
||
a real subvolume, the oneshot `Result=success`).
|
||
- ⚠ **Known bug — btrfs-assistant 2.2 segfaults on launch** in nixpkgs
|
||
26.05: it crashes inside `libbtrfsutil.so.1.4.0` (a library ABI mismatch,
|
||
confirmed in the VM regardless of GL/Qt platform — so it's not a VM/GL
|
||
artifact and will crash on hardware too). The menu wiring is correct and
|
||
the app is installed, but the GUI doesn't open. The snapshot *backend*
|
||
(the actual snapshots) is unaffected. Fix path: a nixpkgs override aligning
|
||
its libbtrfsutil, or wait for an upstream bump; meanwhile the menu entry
|
||
is a no-op when the binary crashes. Fallback if it lingers: a rofi-based
|
||
snapshot menu (no btrfs-assistant dependency).
|
||
- Remaining (optional): a keyboard-driven rofi browse for quick glances;
|
||
boot-from-snapshot needs a systemd-boot equivalent of grub-btrfs.
|
||
- **Update awareness:** updates are manual today (`sys-update`/`home-update`);
|
||
add a Waybar indicator / notification when flake inputs are stale or a new
|
||
nixpkgs rev is available (optionally with a pending-change count). Augments,
|
||
never replaces, the explicit rebuild flow.
|
||
- **"nomarchy" control center:** a single TUI/GUI front-end over the common
|
||
toggles — theme, power profile, opt-in services, display, DND — built on
|
||
the same `nomarchy-theme-sync` / `nomarchy.*` surface the menu already
|
||
uses. Plus a first-boot welcome that lands new installs in a guided "pick
|
||
your theme / essentials" flow (ties into the branding work).
|
||
|
||
## Known issues & follow-ups
|
||
- ✓ **Yazi TOML parse error on startup:** yazi 26.x made fetchers'
|
||
`group` field required, so `[[plugin.prepend_fetchers]]` failed to parse
|
||
and yazi fell back to presets. Fixed by adding `group = "git"` to both
|
||
git fetcher entries in `modules/home/yazi.nix` (the git plugin's
|
||
`setup()` only renders the linemode; the fetcher still needs registering).
|
||
- ✓ **Starship prompt styling:** dropped the powerline look (the `[]`
|
||
separator glyph + `bg:` fills) for a flat prompt — bold-accent directory,
|
||
warn git branch, subtext status/duration, `❯` character, all plain
|
||
colored text (`modules/home/shell.nix`). Also wired in `cmd_duration`,
|
||
which was configured but never referenced in `format`.
|
||
- ✓ **xfce deprecation warnings:** moved `xfce.exo` → `pkgs.xfce4-exo` and
|
||
the three Thunar plugins to their new top-level names in
|
||
`modules/nixos/file-manager.nix`; the eval warnings are gone.
|
||
- ✓ **Rofi function keybindings:** direct `SUPER+CTRL+<mnemonic>` binds jump
|
||
straight to each `nomarchy-menu` module — V clipboard · C calc · W web ·
|
||
F files · N network · B bluetooth · S capture · A ask — added to
|
||
`modules/home/keybinds.nix`, so they also show in the SUPER+? cheatsheet.
|
||
- ✓ **Enable nix-ld by default:** `programs.nix-ld.enable` is on distro-wide
|
||
(`modules/nixos/default.nix`), so prebuilt/foreign dynamically-linked
|
||
binaries run out of the box.
|
||
- ✓ **Hyprland border colors off for some themes:** the cause was v1
|
||
forcing an `accent→accentAlt` gradient on every theme; legacy used a
|
||
*solid* border (accent for nord/retro-82/lumon, the text tone for
|
||
kanagawa/summer-day/summer-night). Added a palette-resolved `border`
|
||
field (`{active, inactive}`) to the theme schema (`theme.nix`), consumed
|
||
solid in `hyprland.nix`, and declared it in every preset so a switch
|
||
always replaces it. All six identity themes now match legacy exactly.
|
||
- ✓ **Waybar shows non-existent workspaces:** the v1 summer port "fixed"
|
||
legacy's deprecated `persistent_workspaces` (underscore — silently
|
||
ignored by current Waybar, so legacy only ever showed existing
|
||
workspaces) into the modern `persistent-workspaces` (hyphen), which
|
||
Waybar honours → all 10 rendered as phantoms. Dropped the block from
|
||
`themes/summer-{day,night}/waybar.jsonc`; the other themes use the
|
||
generated `waybar.nix`, which never had it, so they already match.
|
||
- ✓ **GTK/Qt ignore the theme's light/dark mode:** Stylix set `polarity`
|
||
but not the `org.freedesktop.appearance color-scheme` that GTK4/libadwaita
|
||
and Qt6 read via the portal, so a light theme could still render apps
|
||
dark. `stylix.nix` now sets `dconf` `org/gnome/desktop/interface
|
||
color-scheme` = `prefer-light`/`prefer-dark` from `t.mode`
|
||
(xdg-desktop-portal-gtk already ships, and `programs.dconf` is on
|
||
system-side), so libadwaita/Qt follow the palette. Confirmed in a live
|
||
session (headless QEMU): the portal's `org.freedesktop.appearance`
|
||
`color-scheme` reads `1` on a dark theme and flips to `2` after switching
|
||
to a light one (catppuccin-latte) — so xdg-desktop-portal-gtk does relay
|
||
the dconf value GTK4/Qt apps read.
