`literalExpression` is intended just to signify code that needs to stay
a string that gets represented exactly as-is for docs. It has been
misused heavily and people get confused repeatedly on when or not to use
it because of the rampant misuse.
macOS throws a code signing error when the modification time on an app
is set to 1. This seems to have started on macOS 26.3, but I'm not fully
sure. Hitting this is uncommon. macOS caches signatures, so apps that
were opened prior to updating macOS continue to work. I ran into this
because Ghostty 1.3.0 added a new signature to their bundle.
Make terminfo descriptions from Home Manager-installed packages (e.g.
kitty, alacritty) discoverable on macOS by exporting TERMINFO_DIRS via
hm-session-vars.sh. macOS has no systemd/environment.d equivalent, so
the shell session file is the available entry point.

This change converts redundant attribute assignments of the form `a =
a;` or `a = someSet.a;` into cleaner `inherit` statements. This reduces
verbosity and follows common Nix style for bringing attributes into
scope.
Statix Codes: W03 (manual_inherit), W04 (manual_inherit_from)
Also include statix and the rule in our configuration.
The use-xdg-base-directories Nix setting can be set globally in
/etc/nix/nix.conf, in which case Home Manager doesn't know about it.
Users could fix that by also setting it, redundantly, in `nix.settings`,
but then Nix issues a lot of spurious warnings about
use-xdg-base-directories being a restricted setting that untrusted users
can't pass on to the daemon.
As an alternative, users can now set `nix.assumeXdg`, which makes Home
Manager assume that use-xdg-base-directories is in effect without adding
it to the user's nix.conf file.
This is where unit files are expected to be, making GPU setup compatible
with things like selinux. Fixes#8438. The `resources/` directory was
kept because it is expected to be used in the future.
This is writing `.DS_Store` files as root in "~/Applications/Home
Manager Apps/<app>", and causing errors during the `rsync` call since it
will try to delete any files that is not present in the app bundle.
Fix#8067.
This is basically a better version of `targets.darwin.linkApps` that
copy apps instead of linking (hence the name). While this is a
convoluted approach, it works with Spotlight, where the previous
approach doesn't. This is also the approach adopted by nix-darwin, see
PR: https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/pull/1396.
There are a few particularities about this implementation, for one the
flags we use in rsync are different since we are not using root to copy
the apps to `~/Applications`. This may or may not cause some issues with
specific applications so further testing will be needed. Also the check
for App Management permission needs root (via sudo), so this check is
gated behind a flag that can be disabled if needed.
Fix: #1341.
This patch updates all usage of toPlist such that it escapes any strings
in the final output.
The motication for this change is to avoid confusion when end-users of
home-manager's APIs are not aware that the option values they set end up
being passed un-escaped to XML files.
BREAKING CHANGE: Consumers doing manual escaping will now be doubly escaped.

These (and the `*MD` functions apart from `literalMD`) are now no-ops
in nixpkgs and serve no purpose other than to add additional noise and
potentially mislead people into thinking unmarked DocBook documentation
will still be accepted.
Note that if backporting changes including documentation to 23.05,
the `mdDoc` calls will need to be re-added.

This process was automated by [my fork of `nix-doc-munge`]. All
conversions were automatically checked to produce the same DocBook
result when converted back, modulo minor typographical/formatting
differences on the acceptable-to-desirable spectrum.

The NixOS variant of Markdown doesn't make a distinction between
`<code>` and `<literal>` or `<quote>` and... quotes, and doesn't
support `<parameter>` or `<replaceable>`. These are infrequently used
(apart from `<code>`) and don't add much, so just convert them to
simpler forms to allow the options containing them to be converted
to Markdown automatically.
A few minor syntactic adjustments were also made to make
`nix-doc-munge`'s job easier.
`nix-doc-munge` can't handle these, which is understandable as I can
barely handle them either. There are a few infelicities here: the
current processor can't handle multiple terms to one description in
a description list so they get comma-separated in one case, and one
case that should ideally render as a `<figure>` with a `<figcaption>`
in HTML is reduced to a paragraph with some `<strong>` text. (Which, in
fairness, is how it rendered in practice with the DocBook anyway.) The
docs generator has since been updated to handle figures, but we can't
use it until moving off DocBook output.
This commit appends system-wide icon and pixmap directory and the icon
directory in the home-manager profile to the XCURSOR_PATH session variable
for the generic linux target. This is necessary because the default prefix
for libXcursor resolves to the Nix store which excludes the aforementioned
directories from being searched for cursor themes. [1]
