Install through the upstream CLI before Web startup, preserve existing profile state and skip completed installs. Keep pnpm's SQLite store on the guest cache disk and map the caller to namespace root for 9p atomic saves, without host-root privileges.
Cover context-only installation, retries, idempotence and preservation with offline checks. Validate real VM boot, ports, Firefox and a live DSH/context launch using a disposable profile.
Share the live project cwd, DSH home and skills read-write while running guest root behind rootless QEMU and Bubblewrap. Reuse project toolchains, expose configurable SSH-forwarded web access, and launch the latest official DSH.
Include the project template, operating guide, offline boot and mount tests, and shell checks.
A blanket sudo -v requests a password under verifypw=all even when the command itself is NOPASSWD. Keep unprivileged builds and retain the lock through activation without the unnecessary credential preflight.
Use dev-owned checkouts and one update policy on both hosts. Keep only hardware and deployment identity in host modules, use the same SDDM/UWSM workstation module in the VM, and install a host-configured manual switch command with lock regression tests.
Refresh system/tool pins, install official Element Nightly, expand development tools, and finish desktop workflows with a shared charcoal/gold design. Retain host-specific updates and NixOS recovery generations.
Keep kbot, Plasma/SDDM, NetworkManager, systemd-boot and the installed storage while adding dev/Hyprland as a separate physical host target. Keep EC2 integration and its updater isolated.
Include WireGuard/OpenVPN clients, NetworkManager OpenVPN integration and network diagnostics; add recovery checks and activation instructions.
Set the global nix-path from the declarative NIX_PATH list so a clean environment resolves the same locked Nixpkgs. Keep old root channel profiles for recovery rather than deleting them to silence the activation warning.
Use the rebuild binary from the reviewed closure and --no-reexec. The bootstrap nixos-rebuild otherwise evaluates its own package through the old channel before honoring --store-path. The failed attempt made no live changes.
Document successful empty-home file deployment, writable lock idempotence, and safe migration/backup tests. Require focused regular commits and record the source revision in each system generation.
Declare dev, scoped sudo/SSH, workspace ownership, Git and Neovim. Lock Nixpkgs, Home Manager and the unmodified dotfiles. Deploy user files declaratively and preserve a writable Lazy lockfile.
Nix formatting and pure flake evaluation pass. Full build, empty-home deployment tests and activation of this reproducibility correction are still pending; the previous account baseline is live.
