Notes
- Hostname:
atlas— first machine adopted onto the Greek/Norse mythology naming convention. See Hostname Naming Convention for the full convention and rationale (RFC 1178). - Migration history: this machine replaced an Intel x86_64 MacBook in 2025 via Migration Assistant. Full migration log with bootstrap-script issues, PAM/Touch ID fixes, and Homebrew dual-install cleanup in MacBook M4 2025 Migration.
- Docking setup: runs clamshelled with three external displays via Plugable UD-ULTC4K. See MacBook Pro Clamshell Mode Triple Monitor Dock for the working configuration.
- Architecture: 100% native arm64 — zero Rosetta 2 dependencies as of the post-migration cleanup. Intel Homebrew at
/usr/localfully removed; only/opt/homebrew(Apple Silicon) remains. - Dotfiles: managed via Nix + Home Manager. The flake’s
homeConfigurationsis keyed by system architecture (aarch64-darwin), not hostname, so renaming the host doesn’t touch the flake. Thehmalias resolves to--flake ~/.config/nix#aarch64-darwindirectly.

Known issues
- 2026-04-19: kernel panic in ACIO-PHY (USB-C controller) during sleep/wake with the Plugable dock attached. Logged on the dock entry — Plugable UD-ULTC4K — since the trigger is dock-side.
- markdown-preview.nvim plugin partially broken post-migration (race condition during lazy.nvim rebuild). Workaround in dotfiles
