#+TITLE: ArchSetup Development Notes
#+DATE: 2025-11-10
* 2026-01-09: AI Assistants Tmux Launcher Script
** Work Completed
- Created ~/.local/bin/ai-assistants script for launching multiple Claude sessions
- Script creates tmux session "ai-assistants" with 7 named windows (health, finances, danneel, jr-estate, kit, homelab, nextjob)
- Each window opens respective project directory and starts Claude with session-start workflow prompt
- Script attaches to existing session if already running (idempotent)
- Fixed rofi absolute symlink conflict during stow (removed and let stow recreate as relative)
** Context for Next Session
- ai-assistants script ready to use - just run `ai-assistants` from terminal
- Consider adding more projects to the script as needed
* 2025-12-01: Major Feature Session - Pre-flight, State Tracking, Integration Test
** Work Completed
*** Rofi Configuration Standardization
- Created self-contained rofi configuration in dotfiles/system/.config/rofi/
- Designed theme to match dunst notification colors (bg: #383c4af0, fg: #cdd1dc, border: #2d303c)
- Simplified sxhkd keybindings (removed inline flags, moved to config.rasi)
- Removed phantom PATH entry for non-existent ~/.config/rofi/scripts/
*** Nitrogen to Feh Migration
- Replaced nitrogen with feh (nitrogen removed from Arch repos)
- Updated all references: .xinitrc, monitor script, lf/lfrc, ranger/rc.conf
- Added feh to archsetup package list
*** Pre-flight Checks Implementation
- Added preflight_checks() function validating:
- Disk space (20GB minimum)
- Network connectivity (ping archlinux.org)
- pacman availability
- Arch Linux detection (/etc/arch-release)
*** State Tracking for Resume Capability
- State stored in /var/lib/archsetup/state/ as timestamped marker files
- run_step() wrapper tracks completion of 12 major installation phases
- Added CLI flags: --status (show progress), --fresh (clear state), --help
*** Integration Test Fixes
- Fixed duplicate package entries (multimarkdown, proselint were listed as both AUR and pacman)
- Diagnosed and fixed git server 504 errors (fcgiwrap overload after 2 months)
- Blocked aggressive crawler IP via UFW
** Test Results
- Test 20251201-084055: *PASSED* (60m 34s)
- 3 non-critical errors: mkinitcpio-firmware (intermittent), multimarkdown/proselint (fixed)
** Git Commits (8 total)
- 590aa02: feat(rofi): standardize rofi configuration with dunst-matched theme
- 0601d39: feat(wallpaper): replace nitrogen with feh
- 84a52a8: docs(TODO): mark completed tasks from today's session
- bcacfa0: docs(TODO): mark -debug packages task as verified complete
- 03145a1: docs(TODO): mark root check and git pull fixes as verified complete
- 75b0a17: feat(archsetup): add pre-flight checks before installation
- 50423fd: feat(archsetup): implement state tracking for resume capability
- 777e113: fix(archsetup): remove duplicate multimarkdown and proselint entries
** Context for Next Session
- mkinitcpio-firmware occasionally fails (network/AUR timing issue) - kept as-is
- All [#A] priority TODOs now complete
- Consider testing resume capability (--fresh then interrupt mid-run)
* 2025-11-21: GPG/Emacs Authentication Fix
** Problem Diagnosed
- mu4e in Emacs failing with "gpg: problem with the agent: End of file"
- Root cause: Emacs daemon started via systemd user service (emacs.service)
- systemd-started Emacs had no DISPLAY or GPG_TTY in environment
- pinentry-dmenu couldn't connect to X, causing silent failures
- gpg-agent settings were fine (400-day TTL, pinentry-dmenu, ssh-support)
** Diagnostic Commands Used
#+begin_src bash
gpgconf --list-dirs agent-socket # Socket present at /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent
gpg-connect-agent 'getinfo pid' /bye # Agent running (pid 1759, --supervised)
cat /proc/1728/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep -E 'GPG|TTY|DISPLAY' # Empty - no X env
#+end_src
** Previous Fix (Did Not Work)
- Disabled emacs.service: =systemctl --user disable emacs.service=
- Issue persisted after reboot - still got "End of file" error in mu4e
** Understanding "End of File" Error
- Error comes from IPC level between gpg-agent and pinentry
- pinentry-dmenu spawns, tries to connect to X11, fails (no DISPLAY)
- pinentry crashes/exits without sending response
- gpg-agent reads EOF from the pipe and reports the error
- The error message is the literal syscall result, not a helpful description
** Actual Fix Applied
- Added =~/.local/bin/reset-auth= call to .xinitrc after DISPLAY is exported
- This restarts gpg-agent with correct DISPLAY environment
- Runs before any apps (signal-desktop, protonmail-bridge, etc.) start
- Location: .xinitrc lines 29-31
** Key Files Referenced
- ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf - TTL and pinentry settings
- ~/.xinitrc - now includes reset-auth call after DISPLAY export
- ~/.local/bin/reset-auth - restarts gpg-agent with current environment
** Context for Next Session
- Verify GPG auth works correctly after next reboot
- If still failing, investigate pinentry-dmenu X11 connection
* 2025-11-18: Console Font Configuration
** Work Completed
- Improved console font readability for laptop display
- Tested multiple console fonts: solar24x32, latarcyrheb-sun32, terminus variants
- Selected ter-132n (Terminus 32px normal) as optimal for readability
- Updated /etc/vconsole.conf to FONT=ter-132n on current system
- Added terminus-font package to archsetup (archsetup:561)
- Changed console font configuration from lat0-16 to ter-132n (archsetup:965)
** Console Font History
- Original (pre-Nov 16): No FONT setting (kernel default, very small)
- Commit 26a20f3: Added FONT=lat0-16 (moderate size, 16px)
- Uncommitted change: FONT=lat4a-19 (HiDPI, too small for laptop)
- Current configuration: FONT=ter-132n (large, 32px, excellent readability)
* 2025-11-16: Session Workflows Setup
** Work Completed
- Adopted session-start workflow from claude-templates
- Executed session start routine: synced templates, checked inbox (empty), reviewed project context
- Updated session-wrap-up workflow in both archsetup and claude-templates projects
- Changed archiving from time-based (7 days/2 weeks) to session-count-based (keep last 5 sessions)
- Updated both docs/templates/docs/workflows/session-wrap-up.org and ~/projects/claude-templates/docs/workflows/session-wrap-up.org
- Verified all ~/.profile.d/ files are properly symlinked to ~/code/archsetup/dotfiles/system/.profile.d/
** Context for Next Session
- Outstanding TODOs from 2025-11-13 session still pending:
- Run verification test to confirm yay-debug is no longer installed
- Investigate 56 AUR package retry errors
- Consider if errors need to be addressed or are acceptable failures
