- thermald on the x86 hosts (guarded; the Asahi MBP self-governs).
- T400 battery charge thresholds (75/80) via tp_smapi; tlp itself comes
from the nixos-hardware profile.
- Bluetooth (bluez + powerOnBoot) and blueman on the laptops — the MBP
already loads Apple BT firmware but bluez was never running.
- earlyoom + fwupd on the physical graphical hosts; zram on the Mac Pro.

New system/modules/ssh.nix disables password and keyboard-interactive
auth and root login, and installs the authorized key for the primary
user. Imported by the two hosts that run sshd; each still enables the
service and opens port 22 in its own config.

- common-nixos: nix.settings.auto-optimise-store + larger download buffer.
- workstation: fstrim, boot.tmp.cleanOnBoot, and the shared graphical
options moved here from the per-host configs (pipewire, swaylock PAM
stub, redistributable firmware) -- MBP-Asahi gains audio it lacked.
- T400: zramSwap for the low-RAM host.
- MBP-Asahi: nixos-apple-silicon binary cache substituter.
- MacPro31 README: describe the real (LVM/UUID) hardware config; it is no
longer a placeholder.

The tmux statusline draws powerline/Nerd glyphs that default fonts lack,
so they render as blank/"?". tmux runs on every host (not just the Sway
ones), so install the font in the shared common-nixos module rather than
swaywm -- a future console-only or non-Sway host gets it too. The Mac
installs it via the Darwin config (/Library/Fonts). foot names it as its
main font (home/sway.nix).
On macOS, iTerm2's font is still a GUI setting: Settings -> Profiles ->
Text -> Font -> "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font".

Move the tmux auto-start out of the graphical-only desktop layer into the
shared shell config so it also covers WSL, iTerm2 and the Linux console
(folded into programs.zsh.initContent via mkMerge alongside the SSH PS1
block). Same guards: interactive, not-already-in-tmux, not-SSH,
not-VS-Code, tmux-present.
ssh: run a user ssh-agent on Linux (macOS uses launchd) and add keys on
first use (addKeysToAgent), so the passphrase is entered once per login
session instead of per commit/push -- which also feeds commit signing.
macOS additionally caches in the login keychain (UseKeychain). The work
box keeps its own ~/.ssh/config (programs.ssh forced off there); its
ssh-agent still runs via the work module.

The bootloader is firmware-specific, not form-factor: UEFI hosts use
systemd-boot, BIOS hosts use GRUB. Drop boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable from
workstation.nix and declare it on the MBP instead, so the incoming BIOS-only
T400 (GRUB) doesn't have to force it off.

Add system/modules/desktop.nix (counterpart to laptop.nix): imports the
workstation base and uses wired NetworkManager instead of iwd.
Thread a `portable` flag (default true) through mkHost into specialArgs and
home-manager.extraSpecialArgs, mirroring username/fullName. lyrathorpe/home/
sway.nix consumes it to drop mobile components on desktop hosts:
- status bar swaps the battery block for CPU temperature + network throughput
- screen-brightness keybindings are omitted (no internal backlight)
No host uses desktop.nix yet; a future desktop host imports it and sets
`portable = false`. Verified by evaluating sway.nix both ways:
laptop -> [.. sound battery time] + brightness keys;
desktop -> [.. temperature net sound time], no brightness keys.

Move the form-factor-agnostic settings (systemd-boot, swayDesktop, dvorak
console, firewall) into a shared workstation.nix so laptop.nix and the new
desktop.nix can both import them without drifting. laptop.nix keeps only the
iwd Wi-Fi backend.

- Add common-nixos.nix (timezone, locale, git/fastfetch) imported by every
NixOS host, and laptop.nix (systemd-boot, sway, dvorak, iwd, firewall)
imported by X1 and MBP. Strip the nixos-generate-config boilerplate from
both machine configs and reduce them to host-specific settings.
- Enable the firewall on the laptops (was disabled); X1 opens 22 next to
its sshd.
- Pin nixpkgs input to github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-26.05 for consistency;
lock rev unchanged (still b51242d).
- Drop unused module arguments.

* fix: configure docker for EDaaS WSL VDI
Enable rootful docker with the Docker Desktop proxy patch, add emmathorpe to the docker group, disable resolvconf and enable nix-ld.
* feat: flesh out work module and pin claude-code to nixpkgs unstable
Migrate git config to the settings option, fix the signing key path and email, add argo-rollouts/google-cloud-sdk and other tooling, and enable go. claude-code is sourced from the nixpkgs-unstable overlay.
* chore: update personal git, delta and editor config
Move git config to the settings option, switch to the standalone programs.delta module with git integration, add commitizen, and treat Jenkinsfiles as groovy.
* refactor: dedupe flake with mkHost and add nixos-wsl flake input
Extract a shared mkHost helper to remove duplicated home-manager scaffolding, add nixos-wsl as a flake input so the EDaaS host builds without --impure, source claude-code via a nixpkgs-unstable overlay, and expose a nixfmt formatter output.
* style: format nix files with nixfmt
* refactor: migrate to stable nixpkgs 26.05 and track upstream asahi flake
Pin nixpkgs to nixos-26.05 and home-manager to release-26.05; claude-code stays bleeding-edge via the nixpkgs-unstable overlay.
Centralize allowUnfree and experimental-features in mkHost and pin nix.registry/nixPath to the flake nixpkgs.
Replace the vendored apple-silicon-support module with the nixos-apple-silicon flake input, dropping ~8.8k lines of vendored code.
Fix stable-induced package renames: neofetch -> fastfetch, noto-fonts-emoji -> noto-fonts-color-emoji.
* refactor: adopt flake-parts with host table and scoped unfree
Wrap outputs in flake-parts.lib.mkFlake, replacing forAllSystems boilerplate with systems + perSystem. Drop the unused self argument.
Collapse the three mkHost calls into a hosts attrset mapped with lib.mapAttrs; adding a machine is now a single table entry.
Replace blanket allowUnfree with an allowUnfreePredicate allowlist (claude-code, lens). Add devShells.default (nixfmt, nil, git) and a checks.formatting nixfmt --check gate.
* docs(flake): annotate inputs, mkHost, host table and perSystem
Explanatory comments only; no eval change (drvPath identical).
* refactor(home): split home-manager into focused modules; clarify desktop scope
Break the home.nix monolith into emmathorpe/home/{default,shell,git,editor,desktop}.nix. The host table now composes desktop.nix onto graphical hosts only, so element-desktop, the Sway session vars and cursor theme are no longer installed on the headless WSL host.
Consolidate chat apps: legcord moves from user.nix (system) into the home desktop module alongside element-desktop. The tty1 'exec sway' autostart moves into desktop.nix so it never runs on headless hosts.
Desktop functionality: add xdg.portal (wlr + gtk) in swaywm.nix to enable screen sharing and native file pickers for Element and Firefox under wlroots.
* feat(desktop): declarative Sway config with idle-lock, notifications and bar
Add emmathorpe/home/sway.nix managing wayland.windowManager.sway (package = null, reusing the system Sway wrapper) plus swaylock, swayidle, dunst and an i3status-rust bar. home-manager's systemd integration wires sway-session.target so the swayidle/dunst user services start with the session.
swayidle locks after 5 min, powers outputs off after 10, and locks before sleep. Media/brightness keys use wpctl (pipewire) and brightnessctl; the launcher is sway-launcher-desktop in a floating foot window; keyboard is set to dvorak to match the console.
Move swaylock/swayidle/dunst/i3status-rust out of the system programs.sway extraPackages (now home-managed). Add security.pam.services.swaylock on the MBP host so the lock screen can authenticate (X1 already had it with fingerprint auth).

Migrate git config to the settings option, fix the signing key path and email, add argo-rollouts/google-cloud-sdk and other tooling, enable go, and wire a dedicated nixpkgs-unstable input so claude-code tracks unstable independently of the pinned nixpkgs.
