The persona drifted to a neutral status-report register on Opus 5 with
all three enforcement layers active: the output style, the global
CLAUDE.md and the per-turn UserPromptSubmit hook. Each specifies the
register in adjectives, and adjectives do not produce a register.
Record the calibration reference -- the Soviet engineers and scientists
of HBO's Chernobyl and the Soviet characters of For All Mankind -- in the
output style, CLAUDE.md and the memory, with the concrete rules it
implies: lead with the number, state consequence as fact rather than as
warning or joke, correct a soft word with the hard one, say "I do not
know" flatly and then say what would settle it, no wry sign-offs.
Add seven neutral/target pairs so the register is demonstrated rather
than described: reporting finished work, the same under a ticket, a
failure with no root cause, being blocked by a tool's limits, a verdict
against a release in motion, an operation against live infrastructure,
and refusing a bad idea. Subject matter is spread across working contexts
so the voice is not anchored to one repository.
Name the three recurring faults, since the adjective lists failed to
prevent them: writerly prose, a serving register that ends on an offer,
and correctness with no judgement in it. Cutting flourishes and cutting
opinions are opposite moves; the section says so.
Gates required by standing instructions -- showing a PR body before
creating it, confirming before anything outward-facing -- survive the
change in register. Only the phrasing changes.

The library-folder picker does open and Steam does create the directory
structure; the library simply never appears in the Storage UI. That rules
out the portal FileChooser for this symptom and points at the
write-and-execute probe Steam runs before recording the folder in
libraryfolders.vdf (ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#8450). Document how to
reproduce that probe inside Steam's FHS sandbox with steam-run, and keep
library_folder_add as the route that reports a reason.
The Add a Non-Steam Game dialog is a separate symptom and keeps the
portal explanation.

Three unrelated desktop-side fixes, all in home/sway.nix.
Sway cannot key an output rule on resolution, so scale 2 on 4K displays
is applied by a user service that runs once at session start and again on
every output event, which is what makes it survive a display being
switched off and on. The scale guard in the jq filter stops the
subscription feeding itself. kanshi still owns mode and position; no
profile here sets a scale, so the two do not fight.
natural_scroll on type:pointer gives mice the same scroll direction as
the touchpads already had.
PCSX2 and Dolphin default to borderless-windowed rather than compositor
fullscreen, so the existing inhibit_idle fullscreen rules never matched
and swaylock engaged mid-game. Inhibit on focus for the emulators
instead. The Steam session is unaffected either way: swayidle is wanted
by graphical-session.target and conditional on WAYLAND_DISPLAY, and the
gamescope session provides neither.

The libretro dolphin core lags upstream on compatibility in the same way
LRPS2 does, so install pkgs.dolphin-emu next to pkgs.pcsx2 and run
GameCube and Wii titles through it. The cores stay for the sake of a
single frontend and a shared save/state layout.

Autologin into the gamescope Steam session does not take on the real
hardware; the television lands on ReGreet instead. The config side is
correct -- initial_session is present in the generated greetd.toml and
services.greetd.restart evaluates to false -- so the likely cause is the
session starting and then dying, which greetd answers by falling through
to default_session.
greetd hands a session the VT for its standard streams, so whatever the
session prints on its way down is erased as soon as the greeter repaints.
Run the launcher under systemd-cat so the reason survives in the journal
under the steam-session identifier.
Steam's non-Steam-game Browse dialog and its library-folder picker both
go through the XDG portal FileChooser interface and do not open here
(ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9447, #10415). Add steamtinkerlaunch,
which writes shortcuts.vdf without the dialog, and document
library_folder_add as the equivalent route for the library folder.
Docs also catch up with the host's actual state: hardware-configuration
.nix is a real scan now, standalone pcsx2 is installed, and the untested
claims become the list of open problems.

wlr-randr prints the make/model/serial criteria kanshi profiles are keyed
on and lets a mode be tried before it is committed to config. Nothing
else in the Sway package set covers output query or adjustment.

Board 411 filters on membership of the "Flamingo - CommittedWork" saved filter
(or the stf-flamingo-help label), with a sub-filter that hides anything whose
fixVersion is already released. Team, PI and PI Commitment have no bearing on it:
of the filter's 100 most recent members, 52 carry no Team and 94 no commitment.
Records the field IDs and current values anyway, since they are set as a matter
of course for PI planning, and notes that field names cannot be resolved through
the MCP tools.
WSL has no xdg-open and no Linux browser, so anything that shells out to one
fails with:
exec: "xdg-open,x-www-browser,www-browser": executable file not found in $PATH
kubelogin's interactive login hits this, which matters because interactive is
the mode the shared cluster kubeconfig uses and the mode documented for
re-authenticating after a PIM activation.
Ships an xdg-open on PATH that hands the URL to Windows via powershell.exe,
falling back to explorer.exe, and points $BROWSER at it for tools that read the
variable instead of calling xdg-open. wslu would be the conventional answer but
has been removed from nixpkgs after upstream archived the project.
Catppuccin renders #T, the pane title, in the window list. Any program in the
pane can overwrite that with an OSC escape -- the shell writes the hostname and
Claude Code writes its current task -- so a window renamed with prefix+, never
appeared anywhere.
The status bar now shows the window name, falling back to the pane title while a
window holds a single pane. Once a window is split, pane titles appear on the
pane borders instead; pane-border-status takes no format, so a
window-layout-changed hook recomputes it on both split and close. Adds a binding
for select-pane -T, which has no default.
az ad group member list and GET /groups/{id}/members return an empty
collection, without error, for groups whose members are service principals.
Records the reads that do work and the rule to trust a Terraform plan over
that output.
Creating a WSP Task now fails with "Task Type is required to create a Task
issue". The field is customfield_15622 and the create validator enforces it
even though createmeta does not list it as required - the same trap the note
already records for Bug's versions field.
Long-running epic spanning multiple sessions, with several findings that were
expensive to establish and that contradict the Jira epic text — most notably
that production runs in the subscription named "Workspace Platform Technical
Preview", not the one named "Production".
Points at ~/code/WSP-32957-CONTINUATION.md for the detail rather than carrying
it here, following the pattern used for the SIBO project.
tmux-yank autodetects WSL and pipes the selection to clip.exe, which
decodes its stdin as the console OEM codepage rather than UTF-8. Copying
an em dash out of a pane put "ΓÇö" on the Windows clipboard; the same
applies to every non-ASCII character.
Override the copy command to route through tmux's own buffer. With
set-clipboard on, that emits OSC 52 and the terminal receives UTF-8
directly, with no Windows-side helper in the path. Windows Terminal
honours OSC 52; verified against the running client.
Guarded on /proc/version so only WSL is affected. iTerm2 does not accept
OSC 52 by default, so the Darwin hosts keep pbcopy.
Set in the plugin's extraConfig rather than the shared block because
yank.tmux bakes the copy command into its key bindings at load time, and
home-manager emits plugin extraConfig before the run-shell.
The sudo-rs section claimed the whole fleet runs the stock "wheel, with a
password" policy, which is no longer true for the WSL host. Explain why the
NixOS-WSL default does not survive the sudo-rs swap, and mark the difference in
the per-host table.
NixOS-WSL sets `security.sudo.wheelNeedsPassword = false`, but that option
belongs to the `security.sudo` module and does not carry over to the sudo-rs
swap in modules/common-nixos.nix, whose equivalent option defaults to true.
Since that swap landed, sudo on this host prompts for the account password --
which WSL set during install and nobody knows -- so escalation only worked
through `wsl -u root`.
Set `security.sudo-rs.wheelNeedsPassword = false` on the host to match the
NixOS-WSL default. Other NixOS hosts are unaffected and keep the prompt.
New x86_64 host for a 4th-gen Core i7 (Haswell) with a GTX 1070 8 GB,
wired to a television and driven with a Bluetooth controller.
Session: greetd gets an initial_session, so the machine autologins into
the gamescope Steam session at boot with no greeter and no keyboard.
Quitting Steam falls back to greetd's default_session (ReGreet), where
the ordinary Sway session is available for keyboard-and-mouse work.
Graphics: the GTX 1070 is Pascal, so it needs driver branch 580
(nvidiaPackages.legacy_580) like the Mac Pro's Quadro P400 -- the
nixpkgs default (production, 595.x) dropped Pascal support.
Games: RetroArch built through retroarch-bare.wrapper with 17 cores
covering NES through PS2, GameCube and Wii; Clone Hero; and Steam with
Proton-GE and protontricks. RetroArch's menu toggle is bound to L3+R3,
without which there is no way to exit a running core on a machine with
no keyboard.
Proton prerequisites beyond what programs.steam already arranges: the
esync file-descriptor hard limit is raised from systemd's default
524288 to 1048576 (soft limit untouched), and Proton-GE is wired in via
extraCompatPackages. vm.max_map_count already defaults high enough in
nixpkgs and needs no override.
Content lives in a shared /srv/games tree created by systemd.tmpfiles,
laid out one directory per system under roms/ using the libretro/ES-DE
naming convention, plus bios/, saves/, states/, a Steam library folder
and Clone Hero's songs. RetroArch is pointed at it declaratively.
hardware-configuration.nix is a placeholder, not a hardware scan: the
machine is not installed yet. It assumes partition labels `nixos` and
`BOOT` and must be replaced with nixos-generate-config output.

With no entry in the docs-site nav (removed there so awesome-pages can
discover the synced trees), MkDocs derives the section name from the directory
and title-cases it, rendering "Nixfiles". The previous hardcoded nav spelled it
lowercase. Setting title in docs/.pages restores that without reintroducing a
nav entry.
Verified by rebuilding the aggregated site locally with both source trees
synced as the workflow does.
The docs-site build syncs this repo's README.md and docs/ into the site
tree; nothing else is copied. All prose apart from the README therefore lived
outside the sync and never appeared on https://docs.lyrapup.pet/nixfiles/, and
the one page that did publish carried 18 link targets that resolved to nothing.
Moves:
home/README.md -> docs/shell.md
home/KEYBINDINGS.md -> docs/keybindings.md
hosts/<Name>/README.md -> docs/hosts/<name>.md
docs/.pages and docs/hosts/.pages give the awesome-pages plugin an explicit
order; new pages are picked up by the trailing '...' without an edit.
Links are rewritten so a single URL is correct in both Gitea and the published
site: absolute Gitea source URLs for .nix files and directories, relative links
between pages under docs/, and absolute docs.lyrapup.pet URLs from the root
README, which the build republishes at a different depth from the rest of the
tree. In-code comments that pointed at a moved README are updated to the new
path.
The README gains a Documentation section covering the sync contract and the
linking rules, and CLAUDE.md carries the short version so future edits do not
reintroduce unsynced pages or dead links.
Verified by reproducing the docs-site assembly locally against its pinned
toolchain (mkdocs 1.6.1, mkdocs-material 9.7.7, awesome-pages 2.10.1): pages
render at the URLs used above and in the declared order.
security.sudo-rs.enable sets security.sudo.enable = false via mkDefault, so
this is a straight swap; the two modules assert against being on together.
The fleet only uses the stock policy -- wheel may run anything, with a password
-- which sudo-rs implements fully. It does not cover host aliases, LDAP/SSSD
sudoers, sudoreplay or most Defaults settings; needing any of those means
reverting to security.sudo. The macOS host is unaffected and keeps Apple's sudo
with Touch ID.
Recovery from a host that will not escalate is documented in the module and in
home/README.md: get a root shell that does not go through sudo, then roll back
the generation.
Adds Rust/Go replacements for the day-to-day utilities and shadows four of
them with aliases. Only read-only commands are shadowed (cat, du, df, ps), so a
wrong flag costs a retype rather than data; rm, grep, find and sed keep their
originals and the replacements are reached by their own names.
The aliases land in .zshrc, so they apply to interactive zsh only -- scripts,
`sudo <cmd>` and anything exec'd by another program still get the real binary.
New on every host: dust, dysk, procs, trash-cli, doggo, xh, ouch, jnv, hexyl,
fq and tealdeer. dysk is used rather than duf, which is unmaintained upstream.
git gains difftastic behind a `git dft` alias. diff.external is deliberately
left unset so delta remains the renderer for git diff/show and for anything
parsing them.
The work box gains kubecolor, aliased over kubectl; it wraps the real kubectl
and drops colour when stdout is not a terminal, so pipes are unchanged.
home/README.md documents the alias map, the flag incompatibilities (including
the two that fail silently: dust -s is --apparent-size, and procs reads a bare
`aux` as a search keyword) and the rationale for what was left alone.
