* feat(nixpak): sandbox umu-launcher with ~/Games as its home
umu-run, winetricks and bbe leave the host PATH, so umu launchers
generated before this stop working until rewritten with
`umu-install.nu <name> - <launcher> <gameid>`.
Assisted-by: Claude Agent SDK (claude-opus-5-5)
* refactor(nixpak): mount ~/Gaming as the game sandbox home
idols-ai now preserves ~/Gaming instead of ~/Games, so existing games
vanish from the host after deploy until the preserved ~/Games is moved
to ~/Gaming/Games.

* test(agents): keep one full-host test for ruby and kana
Both guests run the same agent configuration, so a second full-host test
does not add coverage.

* fix(computer-use): disable cua-driver telemetry before start
The i3 init hook did not reliably disable the default-on setting, so both
hosts could start the daemon with telemetry enabled.

- Add the agent profile (modules/nixos/agent.nix: rootless Podman, linger,
nix-ld) with home/linux/tui.nix as its home role; ruby, kana and
aquamarine use it, so hosts no longer import from hosts/idols-ruby.
- Gate nushell's ~/.secrets source behind modules.shell.secrets.enable,
off on agent hosts.
- Persist the TUI home state on aquamarine's tmpfs root.
- Document host profiles in hosts/README.md; add tests/agent-profile and
drop the x86_64 colmena-parity test, which needs mysecrets.

myNurPkgs evaluated a second nixpkgs just for four packages. Apply the
NUR repo's own overlay instead, so they come from the host's pkgs.
Darwin's pkgs now gets nixpkgsConfig too: it set nixpkgs.pkgs, which
ignores nixpkgs.config, so only myNurPkgs carried the npm mirror there.

lock entries, and stale documentation reference.

Turn on adaptive sync at the output only when a game window opts in, keeping desktop compositing fixed-rate to avoid idle/low-load VRR flicker. The Steam/Proton game rule enables VRR alongside the fullscreen rule.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
XWayland/Proton windows can commit before they set a title. Excluding empty titles made Phantom Blade Zero miss the fullscreen rule and stay composited. Keep excluding the launcher announcement popup by title.
VRR is intentionally not enabled here: on-demand VRR caused display corruption in this game and is tracked separately.

Loading the output preset replaces the GUI-managed Excluded Apps list, so the
exclusions are declared in the preset. Meeting apps apply their own gain
control, and local media playback is better left unprocessed.

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.

No host defines a *-nixos-tests output; the pod firewall drops 5900-5903
from pod sources; the mihomo core keeps geodata and cache in its
StateDirectory; WA-020 was used twice and the cited WA-028 had no row.
Every remaining pkgs-x64 consumer runs only on x86_64-linux hosts, where the
native pkgs already carries the same allowUnfree config
(modules/nixos/base/nix.nix) and overlays (modules/base/overlays.nix), so
replace the references with pkgs and drop the extra nixpkgs instantiation
(which also removes an eval on aarch64-darwin).
media.nix keeps the native Zoom app on x86_64 hosts only, since zoom-us has
no aarch64 Linux build.
Explicit session action lists replace the built-in defaults, so re-declare all
five actions; lock stays immediate, logout/suspend/reboot/shutdown arm a 10 s
countdown that a second press runs immediately.
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3 (from #386) made Qt derive its color scheme
from GTK3, which has no dynamic dark/light signal, so Telegram and other Qt
apps were stuck on the light palette after Noctalia's theme mode changed.
Use the portal theme instead: Qt then follows
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme, which Noctalia writes. The trade-off
is Qt's built-in "Sans Serif" 9pt font, which a font-providing platform theme
would be needed to change.
go-musicfox posts its own desktop notification on every track change and both popups sit at bottom_right, so the media OSD was a second, redundant popup.
Clear AltTriggerKeys, whose Shift_L default toggled on left Shift. Left Shift is now a plain modifier and right Shift switches through the shared Rime config.
Pin keyd's right-hand modifiers (rightcontrol/rightshift/rightmeta) to their own keycodes; keyd otherwise folds them into the left keys. Set Vinput's MenuKey to right Ctrl and clear CommandKeys, which would shadow it.
* fix(desktop): align Qt app fonts with GTK
Qt apps kept their built-in default font ("Sans Serif" 9) while GTK apps use
`gtk-font-name` (Noto Sans 11), so Telegram and other Qt apps rendered
noticeably smaller than GTK apps like Firefox. Set
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3; the plugin ships with qtbase, so it needs no
extra package and also gives Qt apps GTK file dialogs.
* chore(desktop): drop unused Xft.dpi from the Wayland GTK profile
Xft.dpi/ *.dpi are X11 X-resource settings. This file is only imported by
the niri (Wayland) hosts, where xwayland-satellite sets its own Xft.dpi
(96 x output scale, currently 144), and the i3 hosts are headless 1080p
computer-use sessions that do not import it. So the setting had no effect
anywhere; remove it instead of keeping a misleading knob.
Vinput's streaming Zipformer models have unbounded dynamic shapes, so
OpenVINO cannot compile them for the GPU or the NPU; the `openvino`
provider and ai's Intel NPU enablement could never run on the NPU (noted
as unverified in WORKAROUNDS WA-017). Remove the backend option, the
daemon's OpenVINO library path, and the intel-npu module enable, and
update the eval test, README and WORKAROUNDS (drop WA-016 and WA-017).
Keep Vinput's stock package and its bundled sherpa-onnx (1.13.4): the
fork-based and nixpkgs-master sherpa overrides existed only to provide the
`openvino` provider, so drop package.nix with them.

Vinput stores its core config in ~/.config/vinput/config.json and its
downloaded sherpa-onnx models in ~/.local/share/vinput/models/. Neither
was bind-mounted from /persistent on the tmpfs-root hosts, so a reboot
wiped both and vinput-daemon started with "Local ASR provider model is
not configured". Persist both directories and document the one-shot CLI
model setup in the vinput README.
* 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;
Manage ~/.config/go-musicfox/config.toml declaratively: the upstream default plus the mpv engine, ~/Music download dir, 2 GiB cache and cover art.
The app rewrites the file with a temp file plus rename, which would replace a plain symlink, so use force = true like fcitx5's profile: the repo copy is restored on every rebuild and runtime edits are ephemeral. Runtime data and state stay on the persistent volume.
- run two autocutsel instances so the X PRIMARY/CLIPBOARD selections stay in
sync, making copy/paste work in the session and through VNC
- drop --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled: nothing drives the
browser over CDP, so navigator.webdriver is already false and the flag only
marked the setup as automated
- document why the driver stays on real X11/AT-SPI input and is never granted
a CDP attach, and note the SSH-tunnel path for manual VNC access
- extend the computer-use eval test
