Program and service modules are auto-imported now, so contributor docs should point platform-specific work at guarded module behavior and tests instead of loadModule.
Document the extra module arguments, shared modules hook, and NixOS activation modes so embedded Home Manager setup matches the current integration code.
Add programs.uv.python.{versions,default,prune} and
programs.uv.tool.{packages,prune} to install uv-managed Python versions
and tools during activation.
Install requests are passed verbatim to uv. Unpinned entries track the
latest release on each activation while pinned ones stay put: Python
requests without a patch component are installed with `uv python install
--upgrade` (exact patches, which uv refuses to upgrade, get a plain
install), and tools are refreshed with `uv tool upgrade <packages>`
scoped to the configured list. Both upgrades are scoped to the managed
entries, so installs Home Manager does not own are left untouched. prune
makes a set declarative by running `uv ... uninstall --all` before
reinstalling the listed entries.
The activation blocks run after linkGeneration so uv sees the freshly
linked uv.toml, and a null programs.uv.package is rejected once the
module emits activation commands.
The link to `#opt-sshAuthSock.enable` broke the manual build on
release-26.05, where the `enable` option does not exist. Drop the
broken reference and the inaccurate "enabled and" wording.
The news section told module contributors they did not need to add a
news entry because the merger would create one, contradicting the
earlier instruction to use the create-news-entry generator. Point
contributors at the generator so new modules ship with their own entry.
Add programs.ssh.settings as a freeform DAG for OpenSSH client configuration blocks. Render Host and Match blocks directly from the new settings option while preserving ordering support.
Render known ssh_config comma-list directives from Nix lists as single comma-separated lines and known space-list directives as single whitespace-separated lines. This keeps directives like KexAlgorithms, Ciphers, MACs, HostKeyAlgorithms, ProxyJump, SendEnv, GlobalKnownHostsFile, and PermitRemoteOpen from being emitted as duplicate directives where OpenSSH may only use the first value.
Migrate legacy matchBlocks into settings, keep root SSH option redirects pointed at the new option names, and hide the deprecated matchBlocks option from generated docs.
Update SSH tests, docs references, and news coverage for the new option.
Document how Home Manager handles activation-time file collisions in the usage manual, including standalone backup flags, NixOS and nix-darwin module options, per-file force handling, recursive directory behavior, and out-of-store symlink sources.
Also clarify the home.file-style ignorelinks option description so recursive symlink behavior is easier to understand from the generated option docs.
Extend the package override FAQ with flake examples for modules that expose a package option and modules that require an overlay.
Clarify that Home Manager nixpkgs.overlays only applies to standalone configurations or system-module configurations that do not enable home-manager.useGlobalPkgs.
For useGlobalPkgs setups, direct users to put overlays in the system configuration and pass any flake-provided package sets through nixosSystem or darwinSystem specialArgs.
Add a flake-based example for using a secondary nixpkgs-unstable input from Home Manager modules, matching the existing channel-based FAQ guidance.
Show how standalone configurations pass the package set with extraSpecialArgs, and explain the equivalent home-manager.extraSpecialArgs path for NixOS and nix-darwin module users.
Document that separate package sets do not automatically inherit the primary package set's nixpkgs.config or overlays, and show how to pass those values when needed.
Describe update and release-upgrade workflows separately so users can tell when to update the current branch versus move to a new Home Manager release branch.
Expand routine update instructions for flake users by explaining that flake inputs are pinned in flake.lock, showing all-input and selected-input update commands, and separating the rebuild command for standalone, NixOS module, and nix-darwin module installations.
Keep channel instructions available for standalone and system-module users, including the different channel owner used by NixOS module setups. Also correct nix-darwin terminology in the installation and flakes docs so those sections do not use NixOS-specific wording.
Adds `home.services`, an attribute set of nixpkgs
[modular services](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/#modular-services)
sourced from `<nixpkgs/lib/services/lib.nix>`. Each service exposes
`process.argv` and the upstream NixOS-style systemd schema
(`systemd.lib`, `systemd.mainExecStart`, `systemd.service`,
`systemd.services`, `systemd.sockets`) by re-exporting
`nixos/modules/system/service/systemd/service.nix`. Service modules
shipped with `_class = "service"` (e.g.
`pkgs.<name>.passthru.services.default`) drop in unchanged --
service portability across module systems is the point of modular
services.
Lifted units are evaluated and translated from NixOS-style attrs
(`wantedBy`, `serviceConfig`, `unitConfig`, `environment`, ...) into
the section-based INI shape (`{ Unit; Service; Install; }`) that
home-manager's `systemd.user.{services,sockets}` consumes; only the
common keys are mapped, uncommon options remain reachable via
`unitConfig` / `serviceConfig` / `socketConfig`. Sub-services and
their units are dashed under the parent service name;
`process.argv` becomes the default `ExecStart` for the service's
primary unit, which defaults to `WantedBy=default.target`.
Mirrors the surface of nixpkgs' portable systemd module (services +
sockets only); other unit kinds home-manager supports natively
(timers etc.) are intentionally not modeled until upstream grows
them.
Each service's `configData.<name>` entries are materialized at
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/system-services/<service-prefix>/<name>` (mirroring
how `nixos/modules/system/service/systemd/{config-data-path,system}.nix`
lifts `configData` to `environment.etc`), with the absolute path
injected back into `configData.<name>.path` so the service can refer
to its files at a stable location.
Includes nmt tests covering: a basic `process.argv`-only service, a
service with a `configData` entry, and importing
`pkgs.ghostunnel.passthru.services.default` to assert the lifted user
unit contains the expected ExecStart flags and `LoadCredential`
entries.
Use `lib.hm.deprecations.mkStateVersionOptionDefault` to keep the legacy `.mozilla/firefox` default for existing configurations while switching new Linux configurations to `"${config.xdg.configHome}/mozilla/firefox"`.
Add focused tests for the legacy and XDG defaults plus a news entry describing the transition.
Closes#8200.
Supersedes #8716 and the earlier attempt in #8672.

Explain when to use extraSpecialArgs versus _module.args in the flake setup guides, and keep the generated standalone fixture aligned with the updated template output.
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.
Add a `settings` option that allows WezTerm to be configured
declaratively using a Nix attribute set. Settings are serialized to
Lua using `lib.generators.toLua`. Raw Lua expressions such as
`wezterm.font` and `wezterm.action.*` can be embedded using
`lib.generators.mkLuaInline`.
When `settings` is set, `extraConfig` is still supported. It is
wrapped in an immediately invoked function expression so that any
`return` statement (including the common `return {}` and
`return config` patterns) is captured and merged on top of the
generated settings, preserving full backward compatibility.
The merge between `settings` and `extraConfig` is shallow: a key
returned from `extraConfig` replaces the entire corresponding value
from `settings`, including nested tables and arrays.
Closes#6047
flakes are not stable yet, community is divided but maintaining both
flake and a set of dependencies in our scripts is hard.
So provide a nix-shell that fetches the nixpkgs recorded in the
flake.lock to keep a single source of truth
doc: updated the doc to advise `nix-shell -A dev`
Certain types don't offer `getSubOptions` upstream in nixpkgs, at the
moment. We can do some overriding and manually calling it for now to
fetch the options for docs.
