The CanoKey resident SSH key (`ryan@canokey-moe`, the backup once a new primary key is enrolled) is now authorized for ryan and root on every host, and sudo on server and agent hosts accepts its touch through the forwarded agent (`pam_rssh`). Without the key or a forwarded agent, sudo asks for the password and login falls back to the file keys. Only `canokeySshKeys` can satisfy sudo.
Risks to weigh:
- Colmena deploys need one touch per host connection, since the agent offers the CanoKey key first.
- Desktops now forward the agent to every `hostsAddr` alias, as they already did for `192.168.*`; while a session is open, root there can request signatures, each needing a touch.
### Verification
- `just test` exits 0; CI passed on the first commit.
- Evaluated: sudo PAM stack `rssh` → `unix` → `deny` on shoryu, kana, akane and k3s-test-1-master-1, ai-niri keeps `pam_u2f`; shoryu root and ryan list `ryan@canokey-moe`.
- Not yet verified on a running host.
### Manual step after merge
Deploy the servers, then `just niri`; close old multiplexed connections (`ssh -O exit <host>`) and try `sudo true` over SSH.

* fix(nixpak): give the game sandboxes a fontconfig that sees CJK fonts
Steam rendered Chinese as tofu: the FHS layers build their own /etc/fonts,
whose config lists only DejaVu and the XDG font directory, so neither the
host fonts nor the FHS /usr/share/fonts were ever scanned. Point
FONTCONFIG_FILE at a small config that includes /usr/share/fonts, and ship
WenQuanYi Zen Hei and Noto Sans CJK in all three FHS layers.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* fix(nixpak): grant the game launchers a StatusNotifier tray icon
Steam and Heroic register a tray icon over D-Bus, and the game sandboxes

and teach the policy suites to expect it.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* fix(nixpak): drop the duplicate host CJK font and tidy the font overrides
Steam reads the fonts inside its own FHS layer, so the system-wide wqy_zenhei

desktop-base value a default, and note the SNI tray grant in the README table.

Use the CanoKey for daily authentication on idols-ai and shoukei, with
the existing passwords, passphrases and per-host SSH keys as fallback.
- sudo: pam_u2f with a shared origin (pam://ryan4yin) and a Nix-store
authfile built from myvars.canokeyU2fKeys; the primary key is
registered and touch-to-sudo works on idols-ai.
- SSH: one resident ed25519-sk key (application=ssh:ryan4yin) exported
to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk; GitHub tries it before the per-host key.
- shoukei LUKS: fido2-device=auto with token-timeout=10s. Update
nixos-apple-silicon (linux-asahi 7.2.14), whose initrd adds
thunderbolt_apple and reset_apple_cio so USB-C comes up before unlock.

Each of these overrode a value nothing else set at a higher priority:

- computer-use: i18n now sets the time zone with mkDefault.
- darwin terminal: the shared ghostty/kitty font sizes are now mkDefault.
- shoukei: sunshine is mkDefault false in remote-desktop.nix, zram's
memoryPercent is mkDefault 50; supportedFilesystems now merges instead
of discarding the fsType entries other modules add.
- youko: nothing enables docker.
- nixpak: pasta.enable and sockets.pipewire are mkDefault in the shared

* chore(nix): update nixpkgs to e62746b and fix 26.11 breakage
Bump nixpkgs to e62746b and preservation to 00be7f7, then adapt to the removals and renamed options in the new revision: drop the removed boot.initrd.systemd.enable settings, trim the stale emSign CA blacklist on Linux while keeping it for the older Darwin input, and migrate Avahi publishing to settings.publish. Work around sunshine still setting the legacy Avahi options and keep dsh-nu on its tested Nushell 0.115.1. Patch NUR dsh's pnpm call to pass nodejs = null, and update pyclipsync for the stdenv.hostPlatform.system rename.
* chore(nix): refresh flake inputs for 26.11
- update nixpkgs-darwin to the same e62746b revision as nixpkgs
- make dsh-nu follow main nixpkgs and patch its testedWith manifest for the resolved Nushell
- refresh floating inputs; update lanzaboote, tuios, and ponytail
- drop the nixpkgs-2505 and rust-overlay workarounds
- keep pyclipsync on main and simplify the cross-platform CA blacklist
- adopt home-manager's Nushell loadSessionVariables default
* fix(gitea): use ROOT_URL for nixpkgs 26.11

The lock bump moves the input from 47c813c to b8e30ec. The guide now says which Nushell the bundle builds against and that its pin warns on divergence, names direct script execution as the replacement for a refused shell handoff, and uses a Nushell stderr redirect in the verification snippet.

This repository manages Linux and Darwin hosts, not Windows: drop the
Windows handoff examples and terminal-backend wording from dsh.md. The home

* docs(agents): tighten global-rule scope and CI guidance
Keep global rules runtime- and project-neutral, and state that boundary in the

gh pr checks --watch alone, name the working-directory parameter generically,
and distinguish a bounded retry backoff from a fixed completion wait.

* docs(agents): never estimate a CI run's duration
A CI run has no predictable length, so do not turn "it looks short" into a

The eval scenario now uses an unknown duration.

* refactor(dsh): install the shell plugin through NUR withPlugins
Replace the local runCommand bundle, peer symlink, and home-layer YAML file
with the plugin package and dsh.withPlugins from ryan4yin/nur-packages#43. The

The goal is speech recognition on the NPU for vinput, and sherpa-onnx cannot
deliver it: every model it loads keeps a dynamic time axis, which the NPU
compiler rejects outright. Qwen3-ASR and SenseVoice both core-dumped in
vpux-compiler ("Got non broadcastable dimensions pair"), and reshaping the ONNX
inputs does not help because the dynamic dimensions sit inside the graph
(WA-037). Whisper is the only family OpenVINO publishes fully static IRs for,
and its fixed 30 s window is exactly what the compiler accepts.
The host now runs an OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/transcriptions service backed
by whisper-large-v3-turbo int8 on the NPU: 1.5 s for 11 s of audio against
2.1 s on CPU, with the compiled graph cached in /var/cache so only a cold cache
pays the ~60 s NPU compile. vinput on the desktop sends raw PCM to it through a
small provider script.
Only the NPU driver and compiler still come from the unmerged branch in the
`nixpkgs-npu` input (NixOS/nixpkgs#570230), whose nixpkgs also happens to be
the one where openvino-genai 2026.4.0.0 builds at all.
