Frank 9ebf5fe85f Untrack a retired niri config that was committed as trash; correct two census rows
The repo still tracked `dotfiles/niri/.config/niri/cfg/.AGENTTRASH/display.kdl.superseded`
— a retired output config committed 2026-10-09, five days before `.gitignore` grew the
`.AGENTTRASH/` rule. Tracked-then-ignored: an ignore rule never reaches an already-tracked
path, so `git rm --cached` is the only repair. The working copy joins the rest of today's
tracked debt.

Found while answering "does this repo still track my noctalia and niri settings", which
also falsified two rows of the census committed yesterday: niri is 9 tracked files, not
12; noctalia is 3 authored files against 2672 files of app state and downloaded catalog,
not 2/0. The page's own classifier command reproduces the new numbers — it never
reproduced the old ones, which is the only reason they were wrong and not merely
different.

Two laws recorded alongside, both from the same probe: `config.kdl`'s
`include "noctalia.kdl"` is not `optional=true`, so a fresh box cannot start niri until
the theme pipeline has run once; and `cfg/display.kdl -> desk-1-home.kdl` is desk state a
fresh box does not receive — by design, but nowhere written down.

This page is the input for the dotfiles pruning/adoption session: for every ~/.config entry it separates what the repo already tracks from what lives only on this box, and sorts the box-only half into adopt / never-track / prune.

Method

Classification is per FILE, not per directory: the tracked unit is a symlink into ~/.omp/dotfiles/. A directory can look "real" (a plain folder, not itself a symlink) while every file inside it is a tracked symlink — niri and gtk-3.0 do exactly that. Conversely a directory can be a whole symlink into dotfiles (lazyvim) and be entirely tracked. So a directory-level verdict lies; only the leaf symlink target is ground truth.

  • tracked = a file whose fully-resolved target (readlink -f) is under /home/blank/.omp/dotfiles/.
  • box-only = a regular file, or a symlink that resolves elsewhere.

Rerun this classifier rather than trusting the table below:

DOT=/home/blank/.omp/dotfiles; CFG=/home/blank/.config
for d in "$CFG"/*; do
  [ -L "$d" ] && case "$(readlink -f "$d")" in "$DOT"/*) echo "$(basename "$d"): tracked=ALL box-only=0"; continue;; esac
  [ -d "$d" ] || { echo "$(basename "$d"): FILE (top-level)"; continue; }
  tr=0; bo=0; names=""
  while IFS= read -r -d '' f; do
    if [ -L "$f" ]; then case "$(readlink -f "$f")" in "$DOT"/*) tr=$((tr+1)); continue;; esac; fi
    bo=$((bo+1)); names+=" ${f#"$CFG"/}"
  done < <(find "$d" -mindepth 1 \( -type f -o -type l \) -print0 2>/dev/null)
  printf '%s: tracked=%d box-only=%d%s\n' "$(basename "$d")" "$tr" "$bo" "$names"
done

~/.config — tracked vs box-only

Profile/browser dirs (mozilla 5471 files, obsidian 99, FreeTube 56, nirimod 116, google-chrome-for-testing 5) are app state, never tracked, and are omitted as rows. Box-only bulk that is regenerated-by-the-program is named by category, not file-by-file.

Top-level ~/.config files (not directories)

All regular files, none symlinked into dotfiles: starship.toml (prune — starship absent), frank-job-hunt.env (secret tier), kdeglobals, partitionmanagerrc, pavucontrol.ini, cachyos-hello.json, user-dirs.dirs, user-dirs.locale (XDG/desktop state).

Adoption candidates (program passes command -v)

Pre-vetted box-only files worth moving into dotfiles. Authorship is from the file contents, read directly.

File Program (path) Authored or default
~/.gitconfig git (/usr/bin/git) Authored — single setting line: credential.helper = store --file ~/.config/secrets/gitea (points at the secret tier; adopt the line, never the file it names)
~/.config/bat/config bat (/usr/bin/bat) Authored — one line --theme=noctalia
~/.config/lazygit/config.yml lazygit (/usr/bin/lazygit) Authored — 28-line custom noctalia color theme
~/.config/micro/settings.json micro (/usr/bin/micro) Authored — {"colorscheme":"noctalia"}
~/.config/micro/bindings.json micro (/usr/bin/micro) Default — empty {}, no custom bindings
~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini flameshot (/usr/bin/flameshot) Authored — contrastOpacity=188, startupLaunch=true
~/.config/glow/glow.yml glow (/usr/bin/glow) Default — shipped template, all default values (noctalia look comes from the generated noctalia.json, not this file)
~/.config/autostart/Flameshot.desktop flameshot (/usr/bin/flameshot) Authored — Exec=flameshot, X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

Every ~/.config box-only row above lists each file, so the session can extend beyond these seven (e.g. btop/btop.conf, shelly/* are also installed-program configs).

Trash committed inside the tree dotfiles/niri/.config/niri/cfg/.AGENTTRASH/display.kdl.superseded — a retired output config committed 2026-10-09, five days before .gitignore:54 gained .AGENTTRASH/ (2026-10-14). Tracked-then-ignored: an ignore rule never reaches an already-tracked path, so the only repair is git rm --cached, done by #41. The rule does match at depth — git check-ignore --no-index -v dotfiles/niri/.config/niri/cfg/.AGENTTRASH/x resolves to .gitignore:54 — so a fresh in-tree trash dir is ignored from birth and this does not recur on its own.

Owned-elsewhere (do not adopt here)

  • ~/.config/containers/systemd/franksign-db.container — header: "Installed by infra/setup-dev.sh into ~/.config/containers/systemd/." Owned by the franksign repo; its quadlet, not this box's config.
  • ~/.config/systemd/user/fib-watchdog.service + .timer — box-only. ExecStart=/usr/bin/bun src/cli.ts worker with WorkingDirectory=/home/blank/Projects/frank-intelligence-bench. systemctl --user is-active fib-watchdog.timer → inactive. This box holds the only copy. Do not adopt it into dotfiles: ExecStart and WorkingDirectory are the bench project's internals, so that repo owns the unit — land it there and this row becomes "deployed by the bench repo". Until then it is a reinstall risk recorded here, not a dotfiles gap.
  • Hygiene finding, fixed 2026-10-20: the enable-symlink ~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service pointed into ~/.omp/wt/de-redesign-20261009/…, a worktree the heartbeat had already reaped — so desk auto-switching was silently off while systemctl --user is-enabled still answered enabled. Relinked to dotfiles/zz-blankpad/.config/systemd/user/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service and daemon-reloaded; left inactive on purpose, because starting it mid- session applies a desk profile and the box is in use. Law and diagnosis: dotfiles-deploy.

Prune list (owning program absent from command -v)

All verified with command -v <prog> (git resolves to /usr/bin/git; a session alias can mask it, so probe in a clean shell).

Config Program checked
sway, hypr, labwc, mango, scroll, umbriel sway hyprland labwc mango scroll umbriel — all ABSENT
wezterm, kitty, foot wezterm kitty foot — all ABSENT
rofi, helix, cava, ytm-player, starship.toml rofi hx cava ytm-player starship — all ABSENT
pywalfox, qt5ct, qt6ct, turborepo pywalfox qt5ct qt6ct turbo — all ABSENT

The first three rows are the expected set (all 14 confirmed absent). My check disagrees with the expected set by extending it: pywalfox, qt5ct, qt6ct, turborepo are also installed-nowhere config dirs and belong in the prune list. Note the orphan dirs cava, rofi, helix, wezterm, qt5ct, qt6ct contain only a generated noctalia palette file — pruning them removes no authored config. crush/devin/goose/kimchi also fail command -v but are the skills-CLI tier above, not this session's prune targets.
