Owner: Anthony (human-gated lever L-CARTRIDGE-REPOINT). Surfaced once, never nagged, never auto-pulled. This issue is the lever's permanent, individually-closeable home in the graph — the registry his-hand-levers.json is its source of truth.
Re-plug the chezmoi cartridge into its real source. The host-is-factory invariant is currently BROKEN: chezmoi source-path points at a scratch local dummy-remote, not organvm/domus-genoma, so every chezmoi verify/status/health green is meaningless -- it validates the wrong source. The always-on beat guard (scripts/cartridge-connected.py + metabolize step 0c, shipped in limen PR #560) now flags this every beat instead of by accident. Reconnection is gated on you because it needs your identity config and an irreversible apply.
What it unlocks
the host-is-factory invariant actually holding -- a factory-clean, ejectable/re-injectable Mac whose every non-factory byte regenerates from the real cartridge (domus-genoma).
Cost
~15 min once the prereqs land; the apply is irreversible (touches the live home).
Gate
needs your chezmoi identity config (is_work, git identity, signing-key reference) which cannot be fabricated for you, AND blesses an irreversible chezmoi apply that runs run_once/cleanup scripts against the live home.
Cheapest path
- Fleet, NOT you: promote host-newer domus v1.8.0 / domus-packages / the insights SNAPDIR fix from branch work/domus-quarantine-retire-20260629 -> master, and route the orphan tools to their true homes. A re-point BEFORE this would downgrade the host, which is why it is a prerequisite.
- You: populate ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml [data] with your identity (is_work, git identity, signing-key reference) -- deliberately un-defaulted per .chezmoidata.toml.
- You:
chezmoi init organvm/domus-genoma && chezmoi apply -- irreversible; runs run_once/cleanup scripts against the live home. The beat guard flips to green the moment the source is the real cartridge.
