`just test` has enforced the suite result since #350: the recipe raises unless
`evalTests` is `true`, so a zero exit already means pass. Update the places that
still described the old raw-`nix eval` behaviour: AGENTS.md, README.md,
SECURITY.md, outputs/README.md, and the nix-config-debug / nix-config-new-host /
nix-config-update skills.
The exit-0 caveat is kept only where the raw `nix eval .#evalTests` command is
documented, because that command genuinely exits 0 even on `false`.
- replace the btop screenshot with the 2026-10-06 annotated capture
(btop + fastfetch + the strata/llama.cpp serving logs); the old
2026-10-01 file is gone, so the README link moves to the new name
- drop the Helix/AI-agents screenshot and its README reference
- fix stale hardware descriptions: the hosts/README.md inventory row and
the idols-ai header comment still said i5-13600KF, and the zswap pool
comment sized its percentages against the old 96G of RAM (now 128G)
- record the hardware history: the platform was rebuilt on 2026-04-27
(PR #257/#258) onto the Colorful CVN Z890 ARK FROZEN + Core Ultra 7
270K Plus, replacing the MSI board and i5-13600KF the host was added
with in 2023-05; the 2x48G kit predates that rebuild, the 2x16G kit
was added 2026-10-06
- make the DIMM bring-up order mandatory and record its failure mode:
with the 48G pair in first, or all four DIMMs from the start, the
board does not POST
- gloss the Chinese BIOS labels in English, marked as translations of
the labels rather than the firmware's own English wording
Left alone on purpose: the 96G swapfile in hosts/idols-ai/disko-fs.nix.
It was grown from 20G to 1x-RAM on 2026-10-02 (a26ab3be), when the host
still had 96G; resizing it again means re-running disko on the machine,
so that stays a separate decision.
* fix(colmena): expose colmenaHive for the new evaluator
nixpkgs now ships the nix-community Colmena rewrite, whose default
evaluator reads an evaluated colmenaHive flake output instead of the raw
colmena hive. Without it every colmena apply recipe failed with
"does not provide attribute colmenaHive".
Add a colmena input pinned to the same v0.5.0 as nixpkgs and expose
colmenaHive = colmena.lib.makeHive <raw hive>, with the raw hive kept as
an internal binding rather than a flake output of its own.
* chore: clean up stale colmena and aquamarine references
- point the Colmena links at nix-community/colmena after the move
- rename the security-aquamarine-metrics test to youko-metrics (it
already tested youko) and update the outputs README
- drop the commented aquamarine remote-builder example
* feat!: replace zellij with tuios and switch to ghostty + kitty
Terminal environment overhaul:
- add the tuios flake input (upstream 0.8.5; nixpkgs has 0.8.1) and link
the checked-in config out-of-store; auto-start tuios in nushell instead
of zellij
- remove zellij entirely: both modules, config, README and nushell
completions
- remove foot and alacritty, which lack the Kitty graphics protocol;
The script pointed the macOS nix-daemon at the homelab v2ray HTTP proxy (192.168.5.101:7890), but that proxy was never running. Remove it together with the just darwin-set-proxy recipe and the README step that referenced it.
The design (layers, password groups, retention, restore steps) was only in
code comments. Also make the timer configurable: a whole hour of random
delay defeated any staggering, and the desktop's push, youko's own run and
btrbk all otherwise contend for the same disks.
It documented the retired KubeVirt workflow (upload a qcow2, create the vm
in k8s-gitops, let Flux create it), which no longer exists. The general
deployment notes live in the README and the per-platform docs
(hosts/k8s/README.md for the microVMs).
The k3s-test workers never ran (they were stuck waiting for volume
binding) and will be re-added as microVMs, so remove their KubeVirt
configs and everything that only existed for KubeVirt guests:
- hosts/k8s/k3s-test-1-worker-{1,2,3} and their outputs
- lib/genKubeVirtGuestModule.nix and lib/genK3sAgentModule.nix (the
latter was only used by the workers)
- the KubeVirt image upload recipes (upload-vm, upload-idols,
upload-k3s-test) and the kubevirt image package in the idols outputs
- refresh the docs; keep only accurate historical mentions (e.g. the
restic backup path must stay as it is)
It was never bootstrapped (no flux deploy key, VMs commented out since
2024-10) and only carried a stale duplicate of the test cluster's config.
- hosts/k8s/k3s-prod-1-{master,worker}-{1,2,3} + flake outputs + the home module
- the k3s-prod-1-token agenix entry (the .age file lives in the private secrets repo)
- the k3s-prod-1-* IPs, the offlineHosts entries, the Justfile recipes and the docs
Refresh the repository overview after the move to Noctalia v5:
- fix the component table: Noctalia as the desktop shell, native screenshots, systemd-networkd/NetworkManager, Zed & VS Code as GUI editors, Zellij as a multiplexer
- correct the deploy instructions (niri hosts use 'just niri'; 'just local' matches the bare hostname) and the Nvidia link
- update the NixOS badge to 26.11 and add a short validation section
- root README: VS Code config moved from home/linux/gui/base/editors.nix to vscode.nix
- READMEs now list both GUI editors (Zed, the primary one, plus VS Code)
- base README: xdg is a directory now, nvidia.nix no longer exists, editors.nix -> vscode.nix
- idols-ai README: disko-fs-media.nix -> disko-fs-data.nix (/persistent/data)
- secrets README: password-store moved from home/base/desktop to home/base/tui
- drop unused link definitions (AstroNvim, wl-clipboard, Catppuccin)
- fix a pre-existing typo flagged by the typos hook (keeped -> kept)
Noctalia v5 is the native C++/Wayland rewrite; the Quickshell-based v4 line (pkgs.noctalia-shell) is EOL and its JSON config is not migrated upstream.
- use the upstream home-manager programs.noctalia module (present at our pinned HM revision) instead of the hand-rolled package + symlink module: it installs pkgs.noctalia, validates config.toml at build time via checkConfig, and supports customPalettes; drop the v4 Qt/Qt6ct session setup
- replace the v4 settings.json/plugins.json with a minimal shared config.toml (font, Catppuccin shell palette, templates off, screenshot annotation, accessibility/bar scale, night light, wallpaper, location/weather); host-specific bits live in per-host files (shoukei's eDP-1 backlight in noctalia/host-shoukei.toml), which merge after config.toml. Application theming stays with catppuccin/nix
- treat config.toml as the single source of truth: do NOT persist ~/.local/state/noctalia and set setup_wizard_enabled = false, so UI tweaks are promoted back into the repo instead of accumulating in app-owned state
- port niri keybinds to 'noctalia msg ...', update spawn-at-startup and the backdrop layer namespace, fix the broken 'octalia-shell' media-previous bind, and replace the grim/slurp/satty screenshot stack with Noctalia's native region/fullscreen/annotate commands (drop the unused packages)
- drop the now-redundant swaybg and swaylock (Noctalia owns the wallpaper and lock screen, the latter authenticating against the PAM 'login' service) and its PAM entry; keep wlogout as an emergency fallback
- update hypridle's lock commands and the matching eval test
- refresh the noctalia docs
* chore(home): drop AstroNvim bundle and centralize editors
Remove the bundled Neovim plugin tree to shrink supply-chain exposure; keep a
minimal programs.neovim backup. Daily editing stays Helix-first with Yazi and
Zellij.
- Add Helix/Neovim docs, glossary, and cheatsheets under core/editors/.
- Default EDITOR/VISUAL to hx; use SUDO_EDITOR nvim --clean for sudoedit and
other sensitive edits; adjust Nushell buffer_editor accordingly.
- Apply Helix Home Manager settings (keys, editor UI) in core/editors/helix.
- Keep heavy language-server tooling only in home/base/tui/editors/packages.nix;
wire it via an explicit default.nix import so core stays lightweight.
- Extend modules/base packages.nix where that profile sets global editor env.
* docs: link editors, VS Code, and agents from README
Document tui/editors versus core/editors; add root README pointers to GUI
vscode (Home Manager) and agents/. Cross-link heavy packages README from
core/editors.
- Changed "checkout" to "check out."
- Corrected "hardwares" to "hardware."
- Fixed the typo "deplyment" to "deployment."
- Added a space in "ISO image(purest installation method)."
