feat(theme): make Boreal the distro default
Seed theme-state.json and the downstream template from themes/boreal.json
(including border + empty settings). Point eval/schema fallbacks at Boreal
(theme.nix preset, plymouth and live-ISO splash colors, theme-shot, sync
error examples). Docs/TESTING and RECOVERY follow the new default.

Verified: state matches boreal palette; theme-contrast all pass.

My Nomarchy machine

This directory is the single source of truth for a Nomarchy machine flake. nix flake init -t … copies it as-is; nomarchy-install copies the same files and only patches install-time values (username, hostname, keyboard, detected hardware, password hash, …). Keep commented opt-ins and home.packages here — do not invent a second catalog in the installer.

  1. Overwrite the placeholder hardware config with the real one: nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix
  2. Set flake.nix up once (Nomarchy repo URL, your username, optionally a hardwareProfile from https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware — an unknown name fails the rebuild with suggestions). After that the flake is never touched again: your machine lives in system.nix (hostname, services — the login user is created from username automatically) and home.nix (your packages).
  3. git init && git add -A — flakes only see tracked files, including theme-state.json.
  4. System: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default
  5. Desktop: nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me (afterwards just home-manager switch --flake .#me — it's installed)
  6. Clone/symlink this directory to ~/.nomarchy (or export NOMARCHY_PATH) so nomarchy-theme-sync knows where the state lives.

Day-to-day:

nomarchy-theme-sync list             # 21 shipped presets
nomarchy-theme-sync apply gruvbox    # writes state + home-manager switch
nomarchy-theme-sync bg next          # cycle wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)

The system layer only needs nixos-rebuild when you change system.nix.
