`inventory/home-config-census.md` was dated 2026-08-28, tagged `unverified`,
and every path in it was `/home/dank` — it described another box, yet
`inventory/index.md` still advertised it as the input for the pruning session,
so the pruning session would have pruned against fiction.
Rebuilt from this box, purpose stated in line one. Classification is per FILE
because the tracked unit is a symlink into `dotfiles/`: a directory can look
"real" while every file inside it is tracked (`niri` 12/1, `gtk-3.0` 3/0), and
a directory can be one whole symlink (`lazyvim`). The classifier command is in
the page so tomorrow's agent reruns it instead of trusting the table.
The generated/authored split is the load-bearing part: 24 `noctalia*` palette
files across 20 apps are one generator pass, proven by the
`2026-10-14 19:05:40.330…40.813` same-second cluster and later single re-stamps
(`bat` 10-18, `niri` 10-18, `mango` 10-17). A same-second mass write is
generation, never authorship — so the source palette stays tracked and the
expansion never is. Adoption candidates are limited to programs that pass
`command -v`, with authorship read from the file; the prune list extends the
expected 14 with `pywalfox`, `qt5ct`, `qt6ct`, `turborepo`, and notes that six
of the orphan dirs contain nothing but generated palette.
`fib-watchdog.{service,timer}` is recorded as owned by the bench repo, not
adopted here: its `ExecStart` and `WorkingDirectory` are that project's
internals. It is flagged as a reinstall risk instead, which is the honest
status. Deleted: the `/home/dank` rows, `~/.pi`, Steam library sizes, and the
old offender/summary tables — numbers for software that is not installed here
fail the purpose test.

| reference | Home Configuration Census (blankpad) | Per-file tracked-vs-box-only census of ~/.config on blankpad — the input for the dotfiles pruning/adoption session. |

2026-08-28 | 2026-10-20 | 2026-10-20 | blankpad (CachyOS, /home/blank) |
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).

Owned-elsewhere (do not adopt here)
~/.config/containers/systemd/franksign-db.container— header: "Installed byinfra/setup-dev.shinto~/.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 workerwithWorkingDirectory=/home/blank/Projects/frank-intelligence-bench.systemctl --user is-active fib-watchdog.timer→ inactive. This box holds the only copy. Do not adopt it intodotfiles:ExecStartandWorkingDirectoryare 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.servicepointed into~/.omp/wt/de-redesign-20261009/…, a worktree the heartbeat had already reaped — so desk auto-switching was silently off whilesystemctl --user is-enabledstill answeredenabled. Relinked todotfiles/zz-blankpad/.config/systemd/user/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.serviceanddaemon-reloaded; leftinactiveon 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.
