The disk phase was the dominant source of incomplete installs. Six
concrete failure modes addressed in one pass:
1. Live-ISO USB excluded from the disk picker. select_disk previously
filtered loop|ram|zram|sr but not the device the installer booted
from; picking it would format the boot media mid-install. New
detect_live_iso_devices walks /, /iso, /run/initramfs/live,
/nix/.ro-store, /nix/store and resolves each backing device to its
parent disk via lsblk -no PKNAME. Override with
NOMARCHY_INSTALL_ALLOW_ISO_TARGET=1 for the developer case.
2. 10 GiB minimum-capacity preflight. Disko fails late and obscurely
on undersized media; surface it while the picker is still open.
3. prewipe_target_drive rewritten:
- Enumerates every active dm-crypt mapping via dmsetup ls and
closes those whose backing device is on the target drive. The
old version only knew about the hardcoded names "crypted" /
"crypted_main" so an aborted multi-disk run or a non-Nomarchy
install would leave a holder open and silently break the wipe.
- Drops `|| true` from wipefs / sgdisk / dd. After the LUKS and
swap teardown above, a real failure means something is still
holding the device — surface that instead of papering over it.
- udevadm settle bounded to 30s so a flapping USB can't hang.
- Post-wipe sanity check: refuse to hand the disk to disko if
anything is still mounted off it.
4. run_disko_with_retry wraps the disko call. On failure, shows the
last 30 lines of output via gum style and offers Retry /
View full log / Abort. set -e is suspended for the disko call so
the exit code can be inspected. The previous bare `disko --mode
disko` aborted the whole installer with output scrolled past.
5. Sed-templated disko-golden.nix + disko-btrfs-multi.nix pair
replaced by a single disko-config.nix Nix function of
{ mainDrive, extraDrives ? [] } called via --argstr / --arg.
Templating Nix via shell-escaped string substitution caused at
least one production bug (3aadc36 fixed embedded-newline
escaping); function arguments are the right shape and eliminate
the entire class of escaping concerns. Single-disk path is
`extraDrives = []`; multi-disk gets BTRFS `-d single -m raid1`
plus the additional /dev/mapper/* devices. Hosts that shipped
/etc/disko-golden.nix now ship /etc/disko-config.nix.
6. EXIT trap added so the tmpfs LUKS key file (/dev/shm/nomarchy-
luks.key) is removed even if the script aborts between key-write
and the explicit unset. Replaced redundant `shred -u` on tmpfs
with `rm -f` (already in RAM).
Verification: bash -n on install.sh, nix-instantiate parse + strict
eval on disko-config.nix in both single and multi shapes, full
nix flake check --no-build evaluating all three NixOS configurations
(default, nomarchy-installer, nomarchy-live) plus the installerVm.
