 # Rathi's Nix Config

+This repo is the source of truth for your macOS setup, built with:
 
 - `nix-darwin` for system settings
 - `home-manager` for home directory files
-- `nix-homebrew` plus `homebrew.*` for the large set of macOS packages and casks that still make sense to manage through Homebrew
-
-The friend config under `tmp/dots` is kept here as reference material only. The config in this repo is your own scaffold.
+- upstream flakes where that is the cleanest package source, such as `github:googleworkspace/cli`
+- `nix-homebrew` plus `homebrew.*` only for the small set of apps and holdouts still kept in Homebrew
 
 ## Current approach
 
-The migration is intentionally conservative:
+The repo now owns the active shell/editor/tool config directly:
 
-- Homebrew inventory is captured declaratively in [`modules/homebrew.nix`](./modules/homebrew.nix).
-- Your live dotfiles stay the source of truth for now via out-of-store symlinks from [`home/dotfiles.nix`](./home/dotfiles.nix).
-- Cleanup is set to `"none"` so the first switch does not delete anything you forgot to inventory.
-
-That gives you a reproducible baseline without forcing a risky rewrite of shell/editor configs on day one.
+- `home/` contains the Home Manager modules for user-facing tools
+- `config/` contains the repo-owned config trees copied from your daily setup
+- `modules/homebrew.nix` is intentionally narrow and should keep shrinking over time
+- Homebrew cleanup is still set to `"none"` so the first switch is non-destructive

 ## What Still Needs Manual Work
 
 - Secrets and tokens under `~/.secrets`, `~/.npmrc`, `~/.config/gcloud`, `~/.config/gh`, and similar paths
 - Launch agents that are currently outside Nix
 - App state under `~/Library/Application Support`
-- Apps installed outside Homebrew casks or the App Store
-- Translating raw files from `~/dots` into pure Home Manager modules over time
+- Anything that depends on local credentials, keychains, or encrypted stores
+- Deciding whether the remaining Homebrew entries should stay there or be eliminated
 
-The snapshot script writes raw inventories under `inventory/current/` so you can diff the machine state over time instead of relying on memory.
+## Current Homebrew Scope
 
-## Important Note About Dotfiles
+The current Homebrew boundary is intentionally small:
 
-Your live machine currently points at `~/dots`, not `~/Documents/GitHub/dots`. This config follows the live machine and expects `~/dots` to exist.
+- CLI holdouts: `memex`, `postgresql@17`, `python@3.13`, `graphite`, `worktrunk`
+- GUI apps: `cap`, `raycast`, `thebrowsercompany-dia`, `wispr-flow`

+If you want a zero-Homebrew machine, this is the list that still has to be replaced or intentionally dropped.
