Three things were in history that should not have been, all invisible to the
tool that deploys them:
- `home/dank/.omp/dotfiles/**` — 3 files re-hosting `niri/cfg/autostart.kdl`,
`niri/cfg/keybinds.kdl` and `systemd-user/…/swayidle-lock.service` under a
prefix `scripts/deploy.sh` never reads (it walks `dotfiles/<pkg>/`). The live
package is deployed and symlinked, so the copy asserted nothing; it only
misled. Moved to `.AGENTTRASH/20261020-tracked-debt/`.
- `.pre-pull-backup/**` — 2 managed-skill files, a local backup in history,
which `.gitignore` itself declares must stay on disk only. Same destination.
- `dotfiles/noctalia/.local/share/noctalia/wallpapers/` — 23 images, 80.4 MiB.
Untracked, files left in place: `~/.local/share/noctalia/wallpapers` symlinks
into this directory and the theme reads it, so deleting them would have gone
black. Every filename carries its wallhaven ID, so a fresh box restores the
set with one `curl` per file plus `deploy.sh`; losing the set is an acceptable
outcome, 80 MiB per clone forever is not.
New page `omp-docs/tools/dotfiles-deploy.md` owns the deploy contract (the
`--check`/sync/`--adopt` modes, `zz-$(hostname)` override semantics, the dconf
and systemd-user special cases) because nothing documented it, plus two laws:
media the pipeline consumes is content not config, and `systemctl --user
enable` snapshots an absolute path — so enabling from a worktree means the
seven-day reap silently kills the unit while `is-enabled` keeps answering
`enabled`. That second law is not theoretical:
`default.target.wants/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service` pointed into the reaped
`wt/de-redesign-20261009` and desk auto-switching had been off since. It is
relinked to `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/` and left inactive rather than started mid-
session; starting it applies a desk profile.
Refs #40
Frank's outline restyle: focus-ring red #e01b24 -> #ffb000 -> #ff8c00
(orange), thickness 2 -> 4 in base layout.kdl. The visible ring is
painted by noctalia.kdl, included LAST in config.kdl — its focus-ring
active/urgent colors moved to #ff8c00 too; tab-indicator, insert-hint,
and recent-window highlights deliberately stay red.
noctalia.kdl was hand-written live-only (Oct 14, no repo copy — the
override that silently beat every layout.kdl edit); first durable copy
lands in the zz-blankpad mirror.
The rich GUI-built layout (cat/clock/clock-utc/weather start, taskbar
center, capsule groups g1-g4 + control-cheat-sheet end, thickness 36,
font_scale 1.3, opacity 0.9) existed only in the working tree; it was
stashed at 16:46 during the trunk merge and the stash entry was later
destroyed. Recovered from dangling stash commit 7fe3ed8 via git fsck.
This commit is the durable copy the layout never had before.
