EasyEffects 8 keeps its KConfig settings database plus user presets, autoload
profiles and imported models under $HOME, which the tmpfs root drops on
reboot; bind-mount both directories from /persistent.

* docs(agents): wait for CI in the background
Pushes to a PR often start multi-minute CI runs, and an agent that holds
the turn open on a foreground watch reports nothing until it ends. Require
the pushed head and running checks to be reported first, the watch to run
in the background, and the result to be collected after independent work
or after ending the turn.

* docs(agents): keep the shell-handoff rule platform-neutral
The global rules carry no Windows assumptions: drop the cmd, pwsh, and
wsl handoff examples and keep the POSIX forms plus the dsh refusal.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* docs(dsh): keep the shell-swap docs POSIX-only
This repository manages Linux and Darwin hosts, not Windows: drop the
Windows handoff examples and terminal-backend wording from dsh.md. The home
patch also disabled pwsh-sandbox redundantly because dsh-base already
disables that row on POSIX; keep only the active bash-sandbox disable and
verify the composed rows with --dump-config.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* docs(agents): keep the global rules runtime-neutral
Global rules are loaded by every agent CLI, so they must not describe one
runtime's behavior. Drop the dsh-specific sentence and wording while keeping
the expectation to prefer Nushell structured pipelines and Python. Runtime
behavior stays documented in home/base/tui/agents/dsh.md.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* docs(agents): default shell work to Nushell
Keep the Nushell preference explicit in the runtime-neutral global rules, and
keep runtime behavior in runtime docs. Bash stays a narrow fallback for tasks
Nushell cannot do.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* docs(agents): tighten global-rule scope and CI guidance
Keep global rules runtime- and project-neutral, and state that boundary in the
file. Remove the duplicated CI turn-steering text in favour of the Communication
rule, resolve the watch run before watching instead of relying on
gh pr checks --watch alone, name the working-directory parameter generically,
and distinguish a bounded retry backoff from a fixed completion wait.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* 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
reason to wait. The rule is unconditional: report the head and started checks,
start a background watch, and end the turn; collect the result on completion.
The eval scenario now uses an unknown duration.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* docs(agents): move maintenance guidance to the README
The runtime/project boundary is guidance for editing the rules, not a rule
agents need loaded every session. The README's Maintaining global rules
section already owns that audience; the loaded rules keep only behavior.

* refactor(dsh): render the home patch from a YAML template
Move the home-layer cordis patch into dsh-cordis.patch.yml, substitute the
bundle and Nushell store paths with replaceVars, and link the rendered file
through home.file.source. This module is the only writer of
~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml, the current host has no such file, and the profile
patch is a separate layer.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* 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
package wrapper adds a generated --patch overlay after the profile layer, so
dsh no longer writes or manages ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml. The NUR input is
temporarily pinned to the PR branch and its commit; point it back at main once
the NUR PR merges.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* refactor(nix): expose the NUR package set as nurPkgs
Pass one per-system NUR package set through specialArgs instead of repeating
nur-ryan4yin.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system} at each call site.
The agents, rime, and idols-ruby modules now use the short binding.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* refactor(nix): use nurPkgs in package overlays
The overlays receive specialArgs too, so they can use the per-system NUR
package set instead of rebuilding the long input path from prev. This leaves
only the definition in outputs/default.nix.

* refactor(nix): name the per-system NUR set myNurPkgs
Leave room for consuming another NUR repository later, and match the existing
mylib/myvars naming.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* chore(dsh): consume the merged NUR package set
nur-ryan4yin now points at main after ryan4yin/nur-packages#43 was squash
merged; the lock records the merge commit. No branch ref remains.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* fix(dsh): pass the web profile explicitly
The withPlugins launcher prepends --patch, which historically prevented dsh
from auto-expanding "dsh web" into "--profile web". Pass the profile
explicitly in the Just recipe and the verification commands so they work with
both plain dsh and the wrapper.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* chore(dsh): pick up the wrapped-profile fix
Update nur-ryan4yin to the squash merge that keeps an implicit profile name
first, so "dsh web" and "just dsh-web" work through the wrapper again.
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)
* chore(dsh): pick up the plugin peer-link fix
Update nur-ryan4yin to the squash merge that links the dsh peer tree at
node_modules/@deepseek-ai instead of nesting it one level deeper. This is the
import failure that stopped nushell-executor from activating after deploy.

* feat(aquamarine): make the iGPU usable for media and OpenVINO
The R9700s stay reserved for inference: VA-API/QSV transcoding moves to the iGPU media
engine, and `openvino-gpu` works around ROCm's OpenCL loader shadowing the plugin's
`ocl-icd` (WA-038).
Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness 0.2.1-rc.2 (deepseek-v4.1-flash)
* docs(aquamarine): document OpenVINO on the iGPU
How to run models on the iGPU: the `openvino-gpu` wrapper, the encoder staticization Whisper needs
on `GPU`, compile/steady timings and memory, and the language and cache caveats.

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.

CPU warns at 90 C, GPU at 95 C and other components at 75 C; per-core probes

The Explore link named a datasource that does not exist, and rules without an

changes() produced one series per pg_settings_* metric with identical labels,
so VictoriaMetrics rejected the rule with "duplicate output timeseries" whenever
a setting changed.

CPUTIN and AUXTIN* read 101 C or saturate at -128/127 C with no sensor wired,
so the alert fired while the CPU package stayed near 53 C.

Aquamarine builds for ai and shoukei across the three platforms, with both
daemons logging in as root. They authenticate with their passphrase-free SSH
host keys, and ssh_known_hosts now carries each builder's address.

On a tmpfs root the flake/fetch cache is empty at every boot, so
`nix run <flake-ref>` re-downloads its input and fails until DNS is up: a reboot
test showed llama-swap's first start failing on that. Other caches write into
RAM meanwhile.

disko creates the swapfile only when it formats the pool, so the live 96G files
keep their size until they are recreated with btrfs filesystem mkswapfile; that
frees 64G per host.

Enabling the module runs `openrgb --server` at boot and installs its udev rules,

The second NVMe and its LUKS volume leave with the Z890 board, so the data-disk disko module is deleted; `ai` must activate this change before the disk is pulled, or its initrd blocks on the missing volume.

The Z890 board and its root SSD move here from `ai`, and the retired VM's name and 192.168.5.101 are reused.

* flake.lock: Update
nixpkgs only. The new revision builds VictoriaMetrics with cgo
(CGO_ENABLED=1); its pure-Go zstd decoder rejected a stored values block, so
every small-part merge panicked on youko.
* fix(colmena): address the VM hosts by name, not by their IP
`~/.ssh/config` pins the passphrase-protected builder key with IdentitiesOnly
for 192.168.*, so IP-addressed ssh cannot authenticate without a terminal. The
name resolves through the aliases in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
* fix(monitoring): repair two alert rules VictoriaMetrics rejects
`on(uid)` matches on a label kube-state-metrics no longer emits, and
`!= ON(__name__, instance)` treats every pg_settings series as a duplicate.
They now join on (namespace, pod) and compare with `changes(...[5m])`.
* fix(monitoring): keep disk latency alerts off mechanical disks
Both rules averaged per-op latency with no device or sample guard, so the 4 TB
USB HDD volumes paged constantly (>100 ms/write in 26% of the last 30 days).
They now require a non-rotational physical device and >=5 ops/s.

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.
microvm.nix's sshSwitch step runs nix-store --load-db against the guest's
read-only virtiofs /nix/store and dies there, so the recipe installs the
runner on the physical host and restarts microvm@<guest> instead.
* feat(mihomo): keep ranges that can never be proxied out of TUN
The list lives in policy.yaml as tun_exclude_address; sources.yaml may override
it. 198.18.0.0/15 stays in TUN: that is the fake-ip range itself.
* feat(mihomo): match Valve's content servers by ASN
The 20 hand-copied prefixes had drifted from what AS32590 announces. The rule
type needs GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb, so geox-url.asn points at the same mirror.
* feat(mihomo): render the gateway config from the same sources
The hand-kept copy had drifted: a manual sync carried the desktop's secret onto
the gateway and dropped external-ui-url. --redact yields a shareable template.
* fix(mihomo): open the link DNS takeover only once the core serves it
The core opens :1053 after parsing rules, and rule parsing is where missing
geodata gets fetched. Flipping at fork time made that fetch SERVFAIL, the config
fatal, and the unit unstartable.
* fix(justfile): keep local endpoints out of the agent proxy
With only HTTP_PROXY set, a request to this host's own llama-swap endpoint went
to mihomo. Node matches exact hosts only, so the literals carry it; the CIDRs
serve curl and Go.
* feat(justfile): seed mihomo geodata into the service state dir
So a cold start never needs the download that the DNS takeover made unstartable.
