- render Niri on the Intel iGPU while retaining NVIDIA-connected physical outputs - encode Sunshine streams with Intel VAAPI and wait for a Niri output before startup - load VKMS persistently for headless sessions and configure `Virtual-1` at 2560x1600@60 - let Moonlight request the stream bitrate instead of enforcing a 20 Mbps host cap - remove unsupported Dynamic Boost and global NVIDIA session overrides - grant Sunshine access to virtual input devices - add a Nushell recovery helper that starts a temporary greetd/Niri session from SSH - identify and safely replace normal, standalone, or previous transient Niri sessions - launch the transient service in the background and verify greetd, Niri, and Sunshine before returning - ignore local `.worktrees` directories and keep eval regression coverage focused on structural behavior

Temporary remote session recovery
When a remote-only machine is stuck at the greetd TUI, run the Nushell helper from an
SSH session to start one complete PAM/logind Wayland session without changing
the persistent NixOS configuration:
sudo nu ./remote-session.nu
The helper validates its dependencies before changing the current session. It
then stops the normal greetd service, starts a transient systemd-managed
greetd configuration on /dev/tty1, and runs Niri directly. It returns after
greetd, Niri, and Sunshine are ready. Tailscale is not affected.
The Virtual-1 output is created persistently by the vkms configuration in
hosts/idols-ai/hardware-intel.nix and configured by
hosts/idols-ai/niri-hardware.kdl. It gives Niri and Sunshine a capture target
when both physical monitors attached to the NVIDIA GPU are off. The output also
exists during normal physical sessions; keeping an idle virtual framebuffer has
minor GPU and memory overhead.
Options:
-u USER session user (defaults to SUDO_USER)
-t TTY tty device, for example /dev/tty2
-c COMMAND Wayland session command (defaults to niri --session)
-f, --force replace an existing Niri session without confirmation
--check validate prerequisites without changing service state
A reboot or a manual restart of greetd.service restores the normal TUI
configuration.
