 - `flake.nix`: top-level flake and host wiring
 - `hosts/hari-macbook-pro/default.nix`: this machine's host config
+- `hosts/workstation/default.nix`: standalone Linux Home Manager host config
 - `modules/base.nix`: Nix settings and core packages
 - `modules/macos.nix`: macOS defaults and host-level settings
 - `modules/packages.nix`: system packages and fonts
 - `modules/homebrew.nix`: the remaining Homebrew-managed GUI apps
 - `home/`: Home Manager modules for shell, editor, CLI tools, and app config
+- `home/common.nix`: shared Home Manager imports used by macOS and Linux
+- `home/linux.nix`: Linux Home Manager entrypoint
 - `home/migration.nix`: transitional cleanup for old `~/dots` symlinks
 - `config/`: repo-owned config files consumed by Home Manager
