project-management

ansiblonomicon

System configuration via Ansible + Chezmoi, replacing nix-darwin + home-manager.

Quick Start

# First time setup (installs Xcode CLI, Homebrew, Ansible, chezmoi, 1Password CLI, runs playbook)
./scripts/bootstrap.sh

# After changes
anup

Sudo Access

Ansible uses op run with SUDO_ASKPASS to get the sudo password from 1Password automatically. Just run poe macos — no manual password entry needed.

Interactive sudo still uses TouchID as normal, including inside tmux sessions.

Terminal theme sync

On macOS, dark-notify now acts as the source of truth for terminal theme state. An Ansible-managed terminal_theme role installs a user LaunchAgent (house.thurstons.terminal-theme-watch), the ~/.local/bin/terminal-theme-watch watcher, ~/.local/bin/terminal-theme-switch.py, and the shared zsh helper at ~/.config/zsh/tmux-theme.zsh. Together they keep ~/.terminal-bg, Claude, and Codex theme state in sync while reloading the LaunchAgent only when the theme manager changes. Pi uses pi-ansi-themes and a file-watching extension, so it follows ~/.terminal-bg and inherits the terminal's ANSI palette instead of hardcoded colors.

Design

Hosts

SSH aliases are configured via chezmoi (~/.ssh/config) and use ssh-smart-proxy to prefer LAN access with Cloudflare Access fallback:
