+`~/Games/<name>`. The old desktop entries execute `run` on the host, and an old `uninstall` script
+is host-executed too, so rewrite the launchers without re-running the installer, passing the
+`LAUNCHER` and `GAMEID` from the old `run`:
+
+`nu .agents/skills/nix-config-umu-game/scripts/umu-install.nu <name> - <launcher> <gameid>`
+
+This also deletes the old `uninstall`.
 
 ## Optimize the launch
 
-`~/Games/<name>/conf` (or `~/Games/global.conf`) is a shell file the generated `run` sources.
-Defaults are `ENABLE_MANGOHUD=1`, `MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps=1,frametime=1,position=top-left"`,

+sources. Defaults are `ENABLE_MANGOHUD=1`, `MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps=1,frametime=1,position=top-left"`,
 `ENABLE_GAMEMODE=0`, `ENABLE_GAMESCOPE=0`, `GAMESCOPE_ARGS="-f"`, and `ENABLE_LOG=0`. Set
 `ENABLE_MANGOHUD=0` to hide the overlay, `ENABLE_GAMESCOPE=1` +
-`GAMESCOPE_ARGS="-f -w 3840 -h 2160"` for the handheld / multi-monitor case, `ENABLE_GAMEMODE=1` for
-GameMode, and `ENABLE_LOG=1` to capture the run. A dGPU wrapper still goes outside:
-`nvidia-offload ~/Games/<name>/run`. Shader caches are kept in `~/Games/<name>/shader-cache`.
+`GAMESCOPE_ARGS="-f -w 3840 -h 2160"` for the handheld / multi-monitor case, and `ENABLE_LOG=1` to
+capture the run. Gamescope runs inside the sandbox without `CAP_SYS_NICE`, so it cannot raise its
+own priority. `ENABLE_GAMEMODE=1` has no effect: `gamemoderun` is not in the sandbox, whose PID
+namespace and D-Bus filter keep `gamemoded` from managing the game. A host wrapper such as
+`nvidia-offload` does not work either, because the sandbox clears the environment; export its
+variables (`__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1`, ...) in `conf` instead. Shader caches are kept in
+`~/Gaming/Games/<name>/shader-cache`.

-type, each with the condition under which it can be removed. Review the list periodically so
-obsolete workarounds get rolled back instead of lingering.
-
-## How to use
-
-- **Adding** — a change that introduces a workaround, pin, carried patch, or known gap adds a row
-  under the matching section below in the same PR, with a concrete **removal condition**.
-- **Removing** — once the removal condition is met, delete the change and set `Status` to `removed`
-  (mention the ID in the commit), or delete the row.
-- **Reviewing** — re-evaluate rows whose `Revisit` trigger is due and refresh `Status`.
-

-If WA-008 freezes recur, the fallback is to restore the parameters commented out in
-`hosts/idols-ai/hardware-configuration.nix` —
-`nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 nvme_core.io_timeout=4294967295 pcie_aspm=off`; this is a
-recovery procedure, not its removal condition.
-
-If Wi-Fi wedges after a failed association, restart the stack instead of rebooting:
-`sudo systemctl restart wpa_supplicant`, then `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager`. Deleting an
-_active_ NetworkManager profile wedges the supplicant as well; switch to another profile first, and
-only delete inactive duplicates.

+- Services are not audited: a `never,task` rule gives tasks without a login uid no audit context, so
+  virtiofsd, hypervisors, NFS, PostgreSQL and Nix builds skip the per-syscall audit path. A

+- Logs stay on the host and root can erase them; shipping them off-host is a P1 TODO.
+- One watch on a missing path makes `auditctl -R` stop and leaves auditing off;
+  `nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.security-auditd` loads the rules in a VM.

+Query as root; sshd is built without libaudit, so use PAM's `USER_START` records for logins:

+- Baseline readback on live hosts: the ten unprivileged sysctl keys and the esp4/esp6/rxrpc modprobe
+  deny are in effect on all 13 reachable hosts; the #399/#400/#401 nft rules, NFS export scope and
+  pg_hba rules are live. `net.core.bpf_jit_harden` and ai's exact rule order need a root readback;
+  shoukei and akane were unreachable. k3s MicroVM guests have no system profile — compare
+  `/run/current-system` with `/run/booted-system` there.
+- Exporter sockets are LAN-IPv4-bound on every scraped host except ai's NVIDIA exporter (`*:9835`),
+  a gap #373 missed; `hosts/idols-ai/hardware-nvidia.nix` now binds it and the `security-exporters`
+  eval covers every enabled exporter's `listenAddress`.
+- Runtime drift on shoryu: the libvirt domains on 5902/5903 predate #400 and still bind wildcard;
+  only the nft VNC drop protects them until the guests are redefined and restarted.
+- The pod-to-node deny lists omitted etcd's client port (2379, bound `192.168.5.114:2379`); both
+  layers now include it. 2381 (etcd metrics, scraped by in-cluster monitoring) stays reachable by
+  design.
+- ServiceAccount effective access is now measured for all 41 live ns/SA pairs (on-node probes): the
+  Kiali operator gained a self-escalation path (`update`/`patch clusterroles` on a role bound to
+  itself, no `bind`/`escalate` verb needed); Kiali and kube-state-metrics deny `get secrets -A` but
+  allow `list`/`watch`, so probe sets must pair both verbs; 16 accounts enumerate secrets
+  cluster-wide and cert-manager can delete them. Narrowing proposals target k8s-gitops.
+- k3s-test-1 pod networking has been down since the 2026-10-14 full guest cold-restart: Cilium
+  bootstraps through the VIP while the VIP requires kube-vip's lease over ClusterIP — a cycle the
+  kube-proxy-replacement switch created. The host nftables drops stay loaded, but the CLiCNP layer
+  enforces nothing while Cilium is down and the nft rule's pod-source-IP precondition is not met, so
+  the pod-to-node boundary is degraded until the cluster recovers.
+- The cluster recovered manually (VIP attached on one master, then handed back to kube-vip), and the
+  cycle itself is fixed: kube-vip's pod now overrides the kubelet-injected
+  `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST/PORT` to reach its own node's apiserver (port 6443) instead of the
+  ClusterIP, so the VIP no longer needs Cilium on a cold start. A full cold start of all six guests
+  on 2026-10-24 brought the VIP back with no manual action (6/6 nodes, Cilium 6/6, kube-vip 3/3, no
+  connection to the ClusterIP), and k8s-gitops#54 is merged and reconciled. A probe from a pod
+  confirms 2379 is denied while 2381 stays open for in-cluster metric scraping.

+# BIOS Settings
+
+Manual firmware settings are not managed by Nix. Record values that affect power use, remote wake,
+and boot behavior here so they survive BIOS updates and hardware swaps. The related Wake-on-LAN
+workflow and verification commands are in [Wake-on-LAN](./wake-on-lan.md).
+
+Enter firmware setup with `Del` unless a host section says otherwise.

+Last reviewed: 2026-11-02.

+## `12kingdoms` mini PCs
+
+Hosts: `shoryu` (MoreFine S500+), `shushou` (MinisForum UM560), `youko` (Beelink GTR5).
+
+### Common settings
+
+- `Advanced > CPU Configuration > PPC Adjustment (P-State)` = `PState 2` (full-range adjustment
+  mode).
+- `Advanced > AMD CBS > FCH Common Options > AC Power Loss Options`:
+  - `AC Power Loss` = `Always On`
+  - `SATA Controller` = `Disabled`
+- Disable unused onboard devices where the firmware exposes them (for example `HDD` and WLAN
+  options); none are in use on these hosts. `youko`'s two 4TB HDDs are behind a USB JMicron JMS567
+  enclosure, so disabling the motherboard SATA controller does not affect them.
+
+### Wake-on-LAN
+
+The firmware path differs by model:
+
+| Host      | Model            | Setting                                |

+| `shushou` | MinisForum UM560 | `Advanced > Resume on LAN` = `Enabled` |
+| `youko`   | Beelink GTR5     | `Advanced > Network Stack` = `Enabled` |
+
+The firmware side only exposes the wake path. NixOS arming and verification are documented in
+[Wake-on-LAN](./wake-on-lan.md#nixos-configuration).

+## A10. oo7, then gopass, behind the Secret portal
+
+**Current:** gnome-keyring serves the Secret Service and the Secret portal Chromium uses for its v12

+
+**Proposed:** `services.oo7.enable`, whose oo7-portal serves any Secret Service daemon; then replace
+oo7-daemon with `gopass secret-service`, so gh's token and Chrome's cookie key need the CanoKey.

+hardware-gated secrets from upstream components only.
+
+**Cons:** migration deletes the gnome-keyring files. On 2026-11-09, oo7 0.6.0 hid gh's token (fixed
+in 0.7.0) and gave Chrome a new key, losing its v12 cookies (fixed after 0.7.0 by
+[oo7#631](https://github.com/linux-credentials/oo7/pull/631), unreleased). gopass 1.17.4 skips

+# Hardware security keys
+
+How the CanoKey (or a YubiKey) is set up and used on the desktops: initial setup, adding a backup
+key, and recovery. Commands here are the single source; the Nix files only point to this page.
+
+Scope: **idols-ai** and **shoukei** (`modules.desktop.canokey.enable`). frieren only shares the
+GnuPG `scdaemon` setting. Servers never see a key; they only ask the forwarded agent for sudo.
+
+## Principle
+
+Management and use happen on different devices.
+
+- **PCs only use the key:** WebAuthn/passkeys, sudo, SSH, LUKS unlock and OpenPGP (pass).
+- **Management happens only in the phone app** (CanoKey Console on iOS/Android): every PIN change,
+  touch policies, application and factory reset, device settings. The CanoKey Admin PIN is never
+  typed on a PC; the OpenPGP Admin PIN is typed once, for `keytocard`.
+- Sandboxed browsers see only the FIDO HID interface, never raw USB or CCID, so the WebUSB console
+  is unreachable from them ([hardening](../hardening/README.md)). Unsandboxed software is trusted;
+  if it is malicious, the PC is compromised regardless.
+

+
+Only sudo and polkit accept a touch. Login (greetd), the lock screen and every other PAM service
+stay password-based: the login password also unlocks GNOME Keyring.
+
+### PIN and touch per operation
+
+Who decides differs by application:
+
+- **FIDO2** (WebAuthn, sudo, SSH, LUKS): the key stores no touch or PIN policy. Each request says
+  whether it needs a touch (user presence) and the FIDO2 PIN (user verification); the key only
+  enforces what was asked. The one on-key factor is that a FIDO2 PIN is set.
+- **OpenPGP** (pass, GPG): the key enforces its own policies, whatever gpg asks for; see
+  [OpenPGP settings on the key](#openpgp-settings-on-the-key).
+
+Touch is enforced only over USB; over NFC nothing asks for one (section 1.2). Once section 2 is
+done:
+
+| Operation                                | PIN                                                            | Touch                | Decided by                                                                    |
+| ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| WebAuthn in browsers                     | FIDO2 PIN, unless the site discourages user verification       | every operation      | request: the site's `userVerification`; "preferred" asks for the PIN once set |
+| sudo, polkit (pam-u2f)                   | none                                                           | every prompt         | request: registration `+presence`, no `pinverification`                       |
+| sudo on a server (pam_rssh)              | none                                                           | every sudo           | request: same as SSH                                                          |

+
+Little here signs: git commit signing is off, and pass signs only `.gpg-id` on `pass init` (checking
+that signature uses the public key, not the card).
+
+#### OpenPGP settings on the key
+
+Stored on the CanoKey, so they follow it to every machine and survive a gpg reinstall; an OpenPGP
+application reset returns them to the defaults.
+
+| Setting               | CanoKey default        | Set to | Effect                                                                                                                                | Change with                                                      |

+| Signature PIN         | forced                 | forced | forced: PIN for every signature. Not forced: PIN for the first signature after plug-in                                                | `gpg --card-edit` → `admin` → `forcesig` (toggles)               |
+| Touch for SIG/DEC/AUT | off                    | on     | a touch for every operation with that key, unless cached                                                                              | `gpg --card-edit` → `admin` → `uif 1 on` (`2` DEC, `3` AUT)      |
+| Touch cache time      | 0 s (no cache)         | 0 s    | one value for all three keys, 0–255 s: after a touch, operations within that many seconds need none. 0: every operation needs a touch | phone app; gpg has no command for it                             |
+| PIN retries           | 3 (PIN, Admin PIN, RC) | 3      | see [1.1](#11-replace-every-default-secret-first)                                                                                     | firmware 3.1.0+ only (1–15), and it resets the PIN and Admin PIN |
+| PIN state             | —                      | —      | after one PIN entry, decrypt and authenticate need none until the key is unplugged                                                    | not configurable                                                 |
+
+- Use `uif N on`, never `permanent`: a permanent touch policy cannot be turned off again, only
+  cleared by resetting the OpenPGP application.
+- A non-zero cache time lets anything holding the gpg-agent socket (browserpass included) decrypt
+  silently for that window after each touch; 0 keeps one touch per decryption.
+- Check the key: `gpg --card-status` shows `Signature PIN` and `UIF setting`, but not the cache
+  time.
+
+## 1. Device setup
+
+### 1.1 Replace every default secret first
+
+Each application has its own secrets: separate values, separate retry counters (3 on released
+firmware), and blocking one does not affect the others. The defaults are public (from the
+[CanoKey user guide](https://docs.canokeys.org/userguide/)), so change all of them in the phone app
+(CanoKey Console) **before using the key for anything**, including applications you do not use: with
+a default PIN or management key, anyone holding the key can use or rewrite that application.
+
+| Application | Secret                | Default                | Protects                                                   | Set it to                                                             | Typed           |

+
+- **Every PIN locks after 3 wrong attempts, so length matters less than not reusing a value.
+- Generate the random values with the phone's password manager;
+- "save offline" means that password manager or paper, never `pass`: `pass` itself is decrypted by
+  this key.
+- The FIDO2 PIN is typed into browsers, the least trusted place, so it must not also unlock pass.
+
+PIV is unused, so its secrets are random and discarded: PIV is then locked rather than open with
+public defaults. To use PIV later, reset just the PIV application in the phone app (needs only the
+CanoKey Admin PIN), which restores the defaults.
+
+### 1.2 Firmware and settings (phone app)
+
+Touch policies are enforced **only over USB, not NFC**. OpenPGP and PIV stay reachable over NFC on
+released firmware, but each NFC tap is a new card session, so their PINs are still required.
+
+Firmware must be 3.0.2 or later. Settings marked 3.1.0+ appear only on that firmware:
+

+
+### 1.3 Touch feedback
+
+The LED is easy to miss, so touch requests also raise a desktop notification: a transient toast (and
+a notification sound, this sender only) that closes itself once the touch is done.
+`programs.yubikey-touch-detector` ([canokey.nix](../modules/nixos/desktop/canokey.nix)) reads the
+FIDO interface's hidraw reports for touch-waiting signals, and proxies `gpg-agent` for
+smartcard-backed OpenPGP operations; the sound comes from Noctalia's notification filter
+([config.toml](../home/linux/gui/base/noctalia/config/config.toml)).
+
+| Flow                                   | Notified | Why                                                   |
+| -------------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| sudo (pam-u2f)                         | yes      | CTAPHID keepalive / U2F `0x6985` from the FIDO hidraw |
+| ssh/scp/rsync/git over ssh (FIDO2 key) | yes      | same                                                  |
+| sudo on a server (pam_rssh)            | yes      | same; the forwarded agent signs on the local key      |
+| WebAuthn in browsers                   | yes      | same; browsers read the same hidraw interface         |
+| pass / GPG decrypt and sign            | yes      | gpg-agent proxy; heuristic, see below                 |
+| PIV / OATH                             | no       | the detector has no source for those applets          |
+| shoukei LUKS unlock                    | no       | initrd, before any desktop user service               |
+| PIN prompts                            | no       | a PIN is not a touch; pinentry shows that prompt      |
+
+A `switch` only enables the service for the next login: a running session does not start newly
+deployed user services, so after the first deploy start it once with
+`systemctl --user start yubikey-touch-detector`.
+
+Check it: `systemctl --user status yubikey-touch-detector`, then run something that asks for a touch
+(`sudo true`, or `ssh` to a host) and watch for the toast. Logs:
+`journalctl --user -u yubikey-touch-detector -f`. The GPG detector only starts once
+`private-keys-v1.d` holds on-card stubs, and it treats an operation pending for 400 ms outside
+pinentry as a touch request. It proxies only the standard `gpg-agent` and `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` sockets,
+so clients that use `S.gpg-agent.extra` or `S.gpg-agent.browser` get no notification.
+
+## 2. Enroll a key
+
+Only after section 1.1. Do these in order; each step can be rolled back on its own. Only the OpenPGP
+step is irreversible.
+
+### Browsers (WebAuthn / passkeys)
+
+Nothing to enroll on the PC. Register the key on each site, preferably as a passkey. After a first
+deploy via `switch` without reboot, see the FIDO2 notes in the
+[hardening README](../hardening/README.md#limits).
+
+### sudo
+
+```bash
+# pamu2fcfg is installed once canokey.nix is deployed; before that:
+# Long options: some nix versions expand short flags such as -i after --command.
+nix shell nixpkgs#pam_u2f --command \
+  pamu2fcfg --nouser --origin=pam://ryan4yin   # touch the key
+```
+
+Add the printed `KeyHandle,PublicKey,es256,+presence` string to `canokeyU2fKeys` in
+[vars/default.nix](../vars/default.nix) (public data; a leading `:` is accepted) and deploy. sudo
+then shows "Please touch the device"; without the key it asks for the password. While the list is
+empty, sudo is unchanged.
+
+Every host shares the origin `pam://ryan4yin`, so one registration covers idols-ai and shoukei.
+
+### sudo via SSH
+
+Servers and agent hosts (`modules/nixos/server/ssh-agent-sudo.nix`) run pam_rssh: sudo there sends a
+challenge back through the forwarded agent, and the CanoKey signs it after a touch. Nothing to
+enroll beyond the SSH key below. Only the `canokeySshKeys` count, so a file key in the agent cannot
+satisfy sudo. Agent forwarding is on for `192.168.*` and the `hostsAddr` aliases
+([ssh.nix](../home/base/tui/ssh.nix)); without a forwarded agent, or with the key unplugged, sudo
+asks for the password.
+
+While a session is open, root on that server can also use the forwarded agent. Each signature still
+needs a touch, so an unexpected blink is the signal to refuse it.
+
+### SSH
+
+One SSH key per CanoKey, used for GitHub and every host, lives on it as a resident credential.
+`<name>` is the key's name (`tea` is the main key, `moe` the backup):
+
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk -O resident -O application=ssh:ryan4yin-<name> -C ryan@canokey-<name> \
+  -f ~/.ssh/canokey-<name>
+```
+
+On each other desktop, export the handle of every key, one key plugged in at a time:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen -K \
+  && mv id_ed25519_sk_rk_ryan4yin-<name> canokey-<name> \
+  && mv id_ed25519_sk_rk_ryan4yin-<name>.pub canokey-<name>.pub
+```
+
+[ssh.nix](../home/base/tui/ssh.nix) lists `~/.ssh/canokey-tea`, then `~/.ssh/canokey-moe`, as the
+identities for every host and GitHub. Whichever key is plugged in answers; ssh skips the handle of
+an absent key.
+
+What the CanoKey stores, and so what the phone app lists, is fixed by OpenSSH
+([sk-usbhid.c](https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/sk-usbhid.c)):
+
+- **RP ID** = `-O application`, the only label you choose. It must start with `ssh:`
+  (`ssh-keygen -K` loads only those), and CanoKey keeps at most 32 bytes of it. Naming it per key
+  keeps the exported files of two keys apart.
+- **User name and display name** are always `openssh`; no ssh-keygen option changes them.
+- The `-C` comment is **not** stored on the key, only in the `.pub` and handle files.
+
+How it works, and what the prompts mean:
+
+- The private key never leaves the CanoKey. `~/.ssh/canokey-<name>` holds only the credential ID,
+  application and public key. Every authentication sends the server's challenge to the key, which
+  signs it after a touch; with the key unplugged, ssh skips this identity and tries the next one.
+- **FIDO2 PIN:** asked only when creating the credential and when exporting it with `-K`, not for
+  each login. Adding `-O verify-required` at creation would require the PIN for every login too.
+- **Touch:** required for every new connection, including each `git push`/`fetch`. Existing sessions
+  and reused connections need none: LAN hosts multiplex for 30 minutes (`ControlMaster` in
+  [ssh.nix](../home/base/tui/ssh.nix)). A deploy that opens one connection per host needs one touch
+  per host.
+- **File passphrase:** leave it empty. Reading the file already takes your user session, and
+  software running as you is trusted (see [Principle](#principle)); it could also capture the
+  passphrase the next time you type it. A passphrase would cost one prompt per login, not per
+  connection: `AddKeysToAgent yes` keeps the unlocked handle in the agent, which still asks the key
+  for each signature.
+
+Add the public key to `canokeySshKeys` in [vars/default.nix](../vars/default.nix), which is part of
+`mainSshAuthorizedKeys`, and to GitHub. These are the only user keys: without a CanoKey, only root
+logins with the `romantic` recovery key (`secondaryAuthorizedKeys`) remain.
+
+### shoukei LUKS
+
+Enroll before deploying the crypttab change:
+
+```bash
+systemd-cryptenroll --fido2-device=list   # as the user: shows the key's hidraw node
+sudo systemd-cryptenroll --fido2-device=/dev/hidrawN /dev/disk/by-uuid/1c37820e-2501-46e4-bec4-27c28691a5b4
+sudo systemd-cryptenroll /dev/disk/by-uuid/1c37820e-2501-46e4-bec4-27c28691a5b4   # list slots
+```
+
+Name the hidraw node instead of `--fido2-device=auto`: libfido2 is built with PC/SC support, so root
+also finds the key's FIDO applet through pcscd (`pcsc://slot0`) and `auto` stops with "More than one
+FIDO device found". Unlocking at boot is unaffected: pcscd does not run in the initrd.
+
+The default enrollment requires the FIDO2 PIN and a touch; keep it that way, since the key often
+travels with the laptop. The passphrase slot stays. Reboot to verify. A reset key leaves a dead slot
+behind; remove every FIDO2 slot with `--wipe-slot=fido2` (the passphrase slot stays), then enroll
+each key again.
+
+### pass (OpenPGP)
+
+The password store is encrypted to the `[E]` subkey named by `PASSWORD_STORE_KEY` in
+[password-store](../home/base/tui/password-store/default.nix). The key is a `[C]` primary that never
+leaves its backup, with `[S]` and `[E]` subkeys that both CanoKeys hold. The secret key exists only
+on the cards and in age-encrypted backups, which also carry the revocation certificate. The key has
+its own GPG passphrase too: it stays protected in the tmpfs keyrings whenever a backup is opened,
+and age's scrypt covers gpg's weaker S2K against offline guessing.
+[gpg_canokey.py](../scripts/gpg_canokey.py) does each step in throwaway keyrings on tmpfs.
+
+A new key replaces the old one outright: the old key decrypts the store once, during the switch, and
+is then retired.
+
+**Prepare.** Nothing changes for pass yet.
+
+1. Turn on signature and decryption touch on every CanoKey in the phone app; `card` refuses a key
+   without them. Decryption touch matters most: browserpass gives browsers the GPG agent socket, and
+   without touch a compromised browser could decrypt the whole store silently after the first PIN.
+2. Create the key, with two backup drives mounted:
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 scripts/gpg_canokey.py generate --uid '<name> (pass) <address>' \
+     --dest /run/media/$USER/<drive-1> --dest /run/media/$USER/<drive-2> \
+     --public-key ~/codes/nix-secrets/public/<name>.pub
+   ```
+
+   Each command lists its prompts before the first one and announces each prompt as it comes; age
+   asks again after a mistyped passphrase. Here gpg asks for the new GPG passphrase in three
+   dialogs, one per key, twice each, and once more to export the key; then age asks for the backup
+   passphrase twice, and once more to prove that the backup restores. A key without a GPG passphrase
+   is refused. Make both passphrases long and random and save them offline like the Admin PIN, never
+   in pass. Keep the drives offline and apart.
+
+3. Load each CanoKey, with only that key plugged in:
+   `python3 scripts/gpg_canokey.py card --backup <drive>/gpg-<fingerprint>.tar.age`. It prints the
+   `gpg --edit-key` commands to type, then signs and decrypts once through the card. `keytocard` is
+   the only step that types the OpenPGP Admin PIN on a PC; change it again in the phone app
+   afterwards.
+4. Prepare, but do not deploy, the configuration change: add the public key to
+   `programs.gpg.publicKeys` in [gpg](../home/base/tui/gpg/default.nix), set `PASSWORD_STORE_KEY` to
+   the `[E]` fingerprint and `PASSWORD_STORE_SIGNING_KEY` to the primary fingerprint (pass checks
+   signatures only against full 40-digit fingerprints).
+
+**Switch**, in one sitting:
+
+1. `python3 scripts/gpg_canokey.py pass --backup <drive>/gpg-<fingerprint>.tar.age --old-backup <old-subkeys.age>`.
+   It decrypts every entry with the old key before changing anything, re-encrypts with `pass init`,
+   then checks that every entry opens with the new key alone and kept its content.
+2. Deploy the configuration change to every host that uses pass. Until a host is deployed it cannot
+   read the store, and `pass insert` there still encrypts to the old key.
+3. On each host, with a CanoKey plugged in, point the daily keyring's stubs at it:
+   `gpg-connect-agent "scd serialno" "learn --force" /bye`, then check `pass show <entry>` (PIN,
+   then touch). Push the store after that.
+
+Until the old key is retired, rolling back is `git -C <store> reset --hard <commit>` with the commit
+`pass` printed, then reverting the configuration change.
+
+**Retire the old key** once every CanoKey passes `pass show` on every host:
+
+1. Delete its stubs from the daily keyring, `gpg --delete-secret-keys '<subkey-fingerprint>!'` for
+   each old subkey, then remove its public key from `programs.gpg.publicKeys`.
+2. Stop deploying its subkeys: remove `ryan4yin-gpg-subkeys.priv.age` from
+   [nixos.nix](../secrets/nixos.nix) and [darwin.nix](../secrets/darwin.nix), then delete its
+   ciphertext and public key from nix-secrets. Older revisions in the store's git history stay
+   encrypted to the old key and become unreadable.
+
+To revoke the current key: `age --decrypt <backup> | tar -xOf - revocation.asc | gpg --import`, then
+publish the public key.
+
+## 3. Add a backup key
+
+A second CanoKey or a YubiKey works the same way; the module name is CanoKey-specific but nothing in
+it is. On a YubiKey, manage settings with Yubico Authenticator or `ykman`; OpenPGP touch is
+`ykman openpgp keys set-touch dec on` (and `sig`, `aut`).
+
+| Use          | Backup key step                                                                                                                                                            |

+| Browsers     | Register it on every site as an additional security key                                                                                                                    |
+| sudo         | `pamu2fcfg --nouser --origin=pam://ryan4yin` with only the backup plugged in; append to `canokeyU2fKeys`                                                                   |

+# Wake-on-LAN
+
+Wake-on-LAN is available on `aquamarine` and the three `12kingdoms` mini PCs (`shoryu`, `shushou`,
+and `youko`). Firmware prerequisites are recorded in [BIOS settings](./bios.md).
+
+## NixOS configuration
+
+The three mini PCs share [`lib/genVmHostModule.nix`](../lib/genVmHostModule.nix), which adds a
+`systemd.network.links` entry that arms `WakeOnLan = "magic"` on their physical `eno1` NIC after
+every boot. `aquamarine` has the equivalent entry for its `en*` NIC in
+[`hosts/idols-aquamarine/default.nix`](../hosts/idols-aquamarine/default.nix).
+
+The MAC addresses used by the wake command live in [`scripts/wake.py`](../scripts/wake.py).
+
+## Verify
+
+After a boot, confirm the physical NIC reports `Wake-on: g`:
+
+| Host         | Command                                                   |
+| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `12kingdoms` | `ethtool eno1 \| grep -E 'Supports Wake-on\|Wake-on'`     |
+| `aquamarine` | `ethtool enp133s0 \| grep -E 'Supports Wake-on\|Wake-on'` |
+
+## Wake hosts
+
+Wake every Wake-on-LAN-capable homelab host from another L2 host:
+
+```sh
+just wake
+```
+
+Pass one or more host names to wake only those machines; `aqua` is an alias for `aquamarine`:
+
+```sh
+just wake youko
+just wake aqua shoryu
+```
+
+The command retries the magic packet every few seconds and exits when every selected host answers
+ICMP **and** accepts an SSH connection. The SSH check prevents a host that is still shutting down or
+partway through boot from being mistaken for online. It prints a progress line every five seconds
+while waiting. Run `just wake --help` for all options:
+
+```text
+--timeout SECONDS           Stop waiting after SECONDS; 0 waits forever (default: 180)

 # Linux Hardening
 
-> Work in progress.
+Deployed and interactively validated on the Linux desktop host (2026-10-31). Policy and limits:
+[SECURITY.md](../docs/SECURITY.md).
 
-Application sandboxing (nixpak/bubblewrap) and Linux hardening knowledge for this repository. For
-the repository security policy, architecture and audit status, see [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md);
-for temporary exceptions and known gaps, see [`WORKAROUNDS.md`](../WORKAROUNDS.md).
+## Why these apps are sandboxed
 
-## Goal
+The packaging scope is driven by blast radius and input exposure, not by treating the applications
+as malicious. These apps parse complex local or remote content, load third-party plugins (OBS), or
+hold powerful network/session privileges (Remmina); a parser, plugin or session compromise would
+otherwise inherit the user's home, session D-Bus, devices and network. Each wrapper grants only the
+ports, devices, sockets, writable directories and desktop portals needed by that app's documented
+workflow.
 
-- **System Level**: Protect critical files from being accessed by untrusted applications.
-  1. Such as browser cookies, SSH keys, etc.
-- **Per-App Level**: Prevent untrusted applications(such as closed-source apps) from:
-  1. Accessing files they shouldn't.
-     - Such as a malicious application accessing your browser's cookies, SSH keys, etc.
-  1. Accessing the network when they don't need to.
-  1. Accessing hardware devices they don't need.
+## Shared boundaries
 
-## Current Structure
+- Cleared environment; filtered session D-Bus; private `/dev/shm`; per-app `/tmp`. Chromium-family
+  browsers share an app-specific `/tmp` so external URLs reuse one browser instance.
+- Read-only `/nix/store`; GPU and display; fonts and themes; LAN and Internet.
+- Host timezone: `TZ` and `TZDIR` are passed through from the session environment.
+- Portals for file chooser, URI opening, notifications, input methods and document exports.
+- No whole host home, system D-Bus, SSH agent, raw USB/serial or raw camera. The only device
+  passthrough is a security key's FIDO interface for Firefox/Chromium/Chrome; see [Limits](#limits).
+  Raw PipeWire is granted only to MuseScore for its ALSA-via-PipeWire audio path; see
+  [Limits](#limits).
+- Host loopback only for Firefox/Chromium; all other apps use pasta-isolated loopback. Chromium is
+  an intentional development exception. Brave Origin and Edge are backup browsers and receive no
+  media grants.
 
-### 1. **System Level**
+## App permissions
 
-- **AppArmor** (`apparmor/`): AppArmor profiles and configuration
-- **Kernel & process hardening** (`kernel-hardening.nix`): sysctl baseline and unused-module deny
-  list; rationale and verification live in [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md).
+`Media` means audio playback, microphone, Camera and ScreenCast portals. Writable paths are listed
+explicitly; other files use the document portal. Every app also has private writable state.

+- Chromium family: app-scoped Secret portal only. `SecretPortalKeyProviderUseForEncryption` writes
+  v12 cookies; no `org.freedesktop.secrets` or broad keyring access.
+- If the Secret portal is unavailable, Chromium can fall back to v10. Monitor
+  `Local State.os_crypt.portal.prev_init_success`.
+- Firefox uses NSS: `key4.db` and `logins.json` for logins, `cookies.sqlite` for cookies. It has no
+  Secret portal or keyring grant. A Primary Password protects saved logins, not cookies.
+- browserpass is separate: it exposes the password store and GPG-agent socket, not cookie
+  encryption.
+- Bookmarks, history, localStorage, IndexedDB and extension data remain readable by the browser.
+  nixpak isolates them from other apps, not from browser compromise.

+Steam, Heroic and umu share [gaming-policy.nix](nixpaks/modules/gaming-policy.nix). The goal is that
+games cannot read host data, not that they are isolated from each other:
 
-## System Hardening
+- `~/Gaming` is mounted over `$HOME`; nothing else in the host home is visible. Installed games are
+  in `~/Gaming/Games`, the sandbox's `~/Games`, which is where launchers install by default. The
+  per-app XDG directories are off because games write saves straight into `$HOME`.
+- All launchers share that data, so they form one trust domain: a compromised game can change
+  another launcher's configuration. Their grants therefore stay identical.
+- `~/Gaming` is game-writable, so the host never executes a file from it. Generated umu launchers
+  run through `umu-sandbox` (see the `nix-config-umu-game` skill), Steam and Heroic launch their
+  games from inside their own sandboxes, and protontricks runs only inside the sandbox:
+  `umu-sandbox protontricks <appid> winecfg`, or
+  `umu-sandbox protontricks -c 'wine regedit' <appid>`. A host protontricks would run Wine on those
+  prefixes as the host user.
+- Replacing `programs.steam` costs its extras: no host `steam-run` or protontricks, and no `extest`
+  (needs `/dev/uinput`). Remote Play and LAN discovery need inbound connections that pasta isolation
+  does not forward; online play, the store and downloads are unaffected.
+- The launchers keep a StatusNotifier tray icon (`desktopIntegration.tray`), so closing Steam or
+  Heroic to the tray still works and the desktop shell has an icon to show. Notifications stay off.
+- Controllers: host udev rules hard-link joystick evdev nodes (not ones that also claim to be a
+  keyboard) into `/dev/gamepad-input`, mounted as the sandbox `/dev/input`. hidraw (Steam Input's
+  gyro/touchpad remapping, SDL's HIDAPI drivers) and `/dev/uinput` are not granted; uinput would let
+  a game inject input into the host session, and it is not namespaced. A real controller therefore
+  works through evdev, but Steam Input cannot create virtual gamepads. Like the FIDO2 directory,
+  `/dev/gamepad-input` is created at boot; after a first deploy with `switch`, run
+  `sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix=/dev/gamepad-input` and
+  `sudo udevadm trigger --action=add -s input` before starting a launcher.
+- The sandbox gets Flatpak's `--device=all` sysfs set without `/sys/block`, the udev database and
+  `/etc/passwd`, `/etc/group` and `/etc/machine-id`, which pressure-vessel and Wine need.
+- Proton's pressure-vessel container is a third bwrap layer (nixpak, buildFHSEnv, pressure-vessel).
+  This relies on unprivileged user namespaces and on the inner FHS root having no `/.flatpak-info`;
+  with it, pressure-vessel would switch to a Flatpak sub-sandbox it cannot get.
+- Portals see processes in the FHS layer as host apps, so no file chooser or document portal mount
+  is granted (they would return host paths and every exported document), and GameMode is
+  unavailable: `gamemoded` cannot reach PIDs in the sandbox's namespace. Desktop entries that Heroic
+  or Steam create for a game land in the sandbox's `~/.local/share/applications` (`~/Gaming/...`),
+  so the host application menu does not show them.
 
-- Apparmor: [roddhjav/apparmor.d](https://github.com/roddhjav/apparmor.d)
-  - https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/wikis/Documentation
-  - AppArmor.d is a set of over 1500 AppArmor profiles whose aim is to confine most Linux based
-    applications and processes.
-  - But its profiles assume an FHS filesystem, so most of them never match the Nix store paths a
-    NixOS system actually executes.
-  - Apparmor on NixOS Roadmap:
-    - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/apparmor-on-nixos-roadmap/57217
-    - https://github.com/LordGrimmauld/aa-alias-manager
-- SELinux: too complex, not recommended for personal use.
+## Limits
 
-## Application Sandboxing
+- X11: Zoom, WeChat, QQ and the game launchers have shared-display trust; portal permissions cannot
+  enforce portal-only capture.
+- PulseAudio grants recording authority. Read-only GPG sockets still permit signing and decryption.
+- pasta isolates loopback, not LAN access. Chromecast discovery is unverified.
+- Brave Origin and Edge intentionally have no PulseAudio, Camera, ScreenCast or MPRIS grants. They
+  are backup browsers, not media browsers.
+- FIDO2 passthrough: host udev rules hard-link only hidraw nodes whose report descriptor declares
+  the FIDO usage page into `/dev/fido-hidraw`; the sandbox binds that directory plus read-only
+  `/sys/class/hidraw` and the udev database. The CanoKey's KBD and CCID interfaces, other HID
+  devices and raw USB stay outside, so the WebUSB console is unreachable by design
+  ([key policy](../docs/security-keys.md)). A compromised browser process can send raw CTAP to the
+  key; the key's PIN and touch policy remain the authentication boundary. The read-only udev
+  database exposes properties of all host devices, much of which is already readable via the sysfs
+  device binds.
+- FIDO2 hotplug relies on udev events, which only reach the host network namespace. Firefox and
+  Chromium therefore detect keys plugged in after launch; pasta-isolated Chrome needs the key
+  present before launch. `/dev/fido-hidraw` is created at boot. When first deploying with `switch`
+  instead of a reboot, run `sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix=/dev/fido-hidraw`, then replug
+  the key (or `sudo udevadm trigger --action=add -s hidraw`) and fully restart the browsers: a
+  browser started while the directory was missing has no bind for it.
+- Firefox camera and remote screen sharing are intentionally disabled. Firefox does not support the
+  XDG Camera/ScreenCast portal path used here, so granting camera or screen-capture access would
+  require widening the sandbox with raw `/dev/video*` or direct PipeWire access. We choose not to
+  grant that privilege.
+- Bambu Studio's nixpkgs build omits the `device_page` frontend bundle, so filament management is
+  unavailable. Its MakerWorld sidebar entry also requires the upstream `firstguide.finish = "true"`
+  workaround; the startup splash may render black under XWayland.
+- Remmina's SSH Tunnel support receives a read-only SSH agent socket and SSH client config. A
+  compromised Remmina can use the agent to sign or decrypt while the agent is running.
+- OBS, Blender, MuseScore and mpv use pasta-isolated networking. Host loopback services are not
+  reachable unless the app is changed to a host-loopback exception.
+- MuseScore receives the raw PipeWire socket so its ALSA driver can use the host `pcm.!default`
+  PipeWire plugin. PipeWire is a general media graph, so this is broader than a single audio stream:
+  a compromised MuseScore could enumerate other user-visible PipeWire media nodes. The alternative,
+  direct `/dev/snd`, confines the media graph but bypasses PipeWire device selection, per-app volume
+  and mixing.
+- OBS on Linux defaults its recording path to `$HOME`. The sandbox intentionally binds only the
+  declared home subdirectories, so recording output must target `Videos`, `Pictures` or `Downloads`;
+  a file written to the home root exists only in the sandbox's transient mount namespace.
 
-- [Bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap):
-  [nixpak](https://github.com/nixpak/nixpak), more secure than firejail, but no batteries included.
-  - NixOS's FHSEnv is implemented using bubblewrap by default.
-- [Firejail](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/tree/master/etc): A SUID security sandbox with
-  hundreds of security profiles for many common applications in the default installation.
-  - https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Firejail
-  - Firejail needs SUID to work, which is considered a security risk -
-    [Does firejail improve the security of my system?](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/discussions/4601)
-- [Systemd/Hardening](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Systemd/Hardening): Systemd also provides some
-  sandboxing features.
+## Validation
 
-## NOTE
+- Passed: `just fmt`, `just test`, `ai-niri` build, `shoukei-niri` eval and all wrapper builds.
+- Interactive validation passed for Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Brave Origin, Edge, QQ, Telegram,
+  Zoom, Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer. Chromium's host-loopback/personal-file exception and the
+  Brave/Edge no-media policy are intentional.
+- OBS Studio passed interactive validation for PipeWire screen capture, V4L2 camera capture,
+  desktop/microphone audio, local NVENC H.264 MP4 recording and local RTMP streaming. External
+  provider authentication and browser sources remain unvalidated.
+- Remmina, Blender, mpv and imv build and pass the policy suite; interactive validation is still
+  pending. umu runs Wuthering Waves and Star Rail from their desktop entries on the RTX 4090, with a
+  working controller; audio and the in-sandbox isolation check are pending. MuseScore passed launch,
+  XWayland and ALSA-to-PipeWire routing checks; audible playback and user workflows still need
+  confirmation.
+- Chromium smoke test passed: renderer sandbox, environment clearing, bind scope, disposable-profile
+  persistence and loopback policy.
+- FIDO2 browser passthrough is enabled for Firefox/Chromium/Chrome only. WebAuthn with the CanoKey
+  passed in Firefox and Chrome; Chromium and plugging the key in after launch still need validation.
+- WeChat uses the native nixpkgs-master package with nixpak as the only bwrap layer. Build/policy
+  pass; interactive Wayland validation is still pending.
+- Evidence and repeat commands: [runtime validation](tests/runtime-validation.md),
+  [policy test](tests/policy.nix), which auto-loads every suite under [tests/policy](tests/policy/).

+#
+# The problem: browsers find keys by listing /sys/class/hidraw, then open the
+# FIDO ones at /dev/hidrawN (e.g. /dev/hidraw6). The sandbox /dev is a private
+# tmpfs, so those nodes are missing. The number N is only known once a key is

+# 2. browser-permissions.nix binds /dev/fido-hidraw into the sandbox. It is a
