• stylix dropped entirely - migrated to the old config repo, so the input + profiles/stylix.nix come out and the base16/tinted-*/nur/gnome-shell follow-deps drop from the lock

  • noctalia's matugen owns colors on ishtar now; the plain defaults stylix used to set are ported as-is so nothing shifts visually
  • fonts -> static/ishtar/theming.nix (fonts.packages + fontconfig.defaultFonts, system scope): JetBrains Mono / Fira Sans / Crimson Pro
  • cursor -> HM pointerCursor in lament's desktop profile (numix, per-user/wayland concern); opacity -> kitty rice.conf + the niri backdrop rule below

• lament's home-manager split to standalone on ishtar - homeConfigurations."lament@ishtar", applied with just home (home-manager switch), decoupled from nixos-rebuild

  • the whole point: daily-driving nvim means frequent editor-config churn, and a user tweak shouldn't cost a system eval + sudo + bootloader. just home re-applies in seconds
  • users/lament.nix split into the NixOS account (stays integrated) + reusable flake.homeModules.lamentHome/lamentDesktop that both paths consume
  • new modules.lament.standalone gates the integrated home-manager.users.lament off; servers keep integrated HM unchanged (fleet deploy stays one-step), only ishtar sets it
  • persistence is free - HM gcroots + state ride the existing persistent @nix/@home subvols, no new impermanence entries
  • home.stateVersion hardcoded "26.05" in the standalone path (no config.system there); integrated path still derives it from the system

• nvf moved into ishtar's HM scope, shared config across both

  • settings.vim body extracted to flake.myLib.nvfModule - programs.nvf.settings is the same option in nvf's NixOS and HM modules, so one source feeds both
  • fleet-wide NixOS nvf (the SSH editor everywhere) consumes it unchanged; ishtar disables it (programs.nvf.enable = mkForce false) and runs nvf via standalone HM, so nvim tweaks are a just home away
  • behaviourally identical day one, grows independently via HM merge later

• niri + kitty configs land in-repo but stay mutable via mkOutOfStoreSymlink - ~/.config points at the work-tree, so edits hot-reload with no rebuild while jj tracks them and borg backs them up

  • dotfiles/niri/config.kdl: the raw phase-0 config codified (binds, dual-head layout, noctalia spawn), plus numlock-at-startup, a swayidle DPMS timer (monitors off after 5 min idle), and a draw-border-with-background false rule for kitty
    • prefer-no-csd paints a solid backdrop behind decoration-less windows, which showed THROUGH kitty's translucency as solid - the rule kills the fill so the wallpaper shows
  • dotfiles/kitty/rice.conf: the visual config (opacity, decorations, cursor trail); package/terminfo/zsh-integration stay typed in homeModules/apps/kitty.nix

• numix-cursor-theme nixpkgs pin extracted from nixconf.nix into flake.overlays.pinned, shared by the system overlays and the standalone pkgs - one pin, no cursor rebuild drift between the two

• discord wrapped: --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer (Go Live / screen-share over the Wayland portal - it's native Wayland already) --no-sandbox

• left for later:

  • first switch on ishtar is ordered: nixos-rebuild switch (drops integrated lament HM, disables NixOS nvf) then just home (brings up standalone) - otherwise a window with no user env
  • codify the raw niri/kitty dotfiles into typed programs.niri.settings later only if wanted - mutable-symlink is deliberate for now
