Add a programs.obsidian.sync.enable toggle to the obsidian home module that runs 'ob sync --continuous' in the Notes vault — a systemd user service on Linux, a launchd agent on Darwin. The service skips machines where obsidian-headless isn't configured yet. Enabled in the full profile. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Default programs.obsidian.sync.enable to off and enable it through host-specific home configurations: mkHomeConfig now takes a hostname, home.nix layers in home/users/<user>/<host>.nix when one exists, and a crdant@mash configuration turns sync on for mash. As a bonus, 'home-manager switch --flake .' now resolves crdant@mash automatically on that host. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move the per-host home override from home/users/crdant/mash.nix to systems/hosts/mash/home.nix so host configuration lives in one place. The crdant@mash home configuration imports it directly via a new extraModules argument on mkHomeConfig, replacing the hostname special-arg threading.

TL;DR
Keeps the Notes vault continuously synced in the background on machines that opt in: a new
programs.obsidian.sync.enabletoggle on the obsidian home module runsob sync --continuousas a systemd user service on Linux and a launchd agent on macOS. Sync is off by default and enabled per host — currently on mash.Details
Converts the obsidian home module to an options-style module (following the
programs.claudeconvention) so importing it and enabling sync are separate decisions.Adds host-specific home configurations:
mkHomeConfigtakesextraModules, and acrdant@mashhome configuration layerssystems/hosts/mash/home.nix— which enables sync — over the full profile, keeping host configuration together undersystems/hosts/<host>/. Since home-manager resolves$USER@$HOSTNAMEfirst,home-manager switch --flake .picks the host configuration automatically on mash.Guards the Linux unit with
ConditionPathExistson the obsidian-headless config so machines that haven't runob loginskip the service instead of crash-looping underRestart=on-failure. The launchd agent usesKeepAlive.SuccessfulExit = falsefor the same restart behavior on macOS.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
