Three installers that no longer exist each left a root-owned file on
disk, and nothing in Omarchy has ever removed any of them.
/etc/sudoers.d/first-run granted the installing account passwordless
sudo for the rest of the first boot, unrestricted /usr/bin/systemctl
included from 2025-10-14 on. omarchy-first-run clears its first-run.mode
guard before eight set -e steps and only deletes the grant after them,
so any failure in between strands it with nothing left to retry.
/etc/sudoers.d/tsui named whatever $(which tsui) resolved to for the
installing user, normally a binary under their own home that the vendor
script had just written without sudo.
/etc/systemd/system/omarchy-plymouth-shutdown.service ran an ExecStop
under the installing user's home as uid 0 on every shutdown.
Each file is judged against what the installer that wrote it actually
produced. The first-run grant was rewritten eight times and only the
last four carry both Cmnd_Alias lines, so rather than key on those, every
active line must be one the installer emitted and one of them must be
its own self-cleanup. The shutdown unit is disabled but never stopped:
stopping it is what would run the ExecStop being taken away.
Generalize the migrations.md exception, which framed itself around pre-4
layout transitions and so did not cover installers retired on their own.
The upgrade command only runs on a machine still crossing 3 to 4, so a
vulnerable file an old installer wrote never gets swept on an install
that crossed already. It ends by running omarchy-migrate, so a single
migration reaches both populations.
Task procedure lives in agents/skills/ (migrations.md moves there),
system-shape reference in docs/ (AUDIO-TUNING.md renamed to match),
end-user documentation in manual/. AGENTS.md now states the split.

setup is where a user goes to configure something: direct boot, security
keys, hibernation. These three are not that. omarchy-apply-system is the
ISO's entry point in the target chroot, omarchy-apply-hardware is what it
calls for device quirks, and omarchy-apply-lock is called by
install/config/lockscreen-pam.sh.
apply is the verb they already used to describe themselves, and it carries
the contract: declared state under install/ converged onto the machine,
idempotent, safe to repeat.
The group gets no GROUP_DESCRIPTIONS entry on purpose. That table drives the
top-level group list on its own, so an entry would put apply back in front of
users even with every command in it hidden, the way provision already stays
out. A test covers it.
The ISO installs the runtime from the mirror it ships with, so it moves to
the new names in lockstep and no compatibility route is needed.

Leave agents/ ready for other agent artifacts like definitions and
prompts alongside the skills.

Keep only universal rules in AGENTS.md and point to per-task guides
for shell development, acceptance tests, visual verification, command
metadata, and install scripts. Fold the migration notes into
docs/migrations.md and replace .claude/CLAUDE.md with a root CLAUDE.md
importing AGENTS.md.
