## The Three-Layer Flake Chain
## The Flake Chain
The NixOS system build pulls in taffybar through three nested flake.nix files:
The NixOS system build pulls in taffybar through the personal
`imalison-taffybar` config flake. The top-level NixOS flake should not declare
or override a direct `taffybar` input; the config flake owns its taffybar
version.

```
All three flakes declare their own top-level inputs for the ecosystem packages and use `follows` to keep versions consistent within each layer.
The NixOS layer may make `imalison-taffybar` follow shared inputs such as
`nixpkgs`, `flake-utils`, and `xmonad`, but it should not set
`imalison-taffybar.inputs.taffybar.follows`.
## Why Bottom-Up Updates Matter
@@ -43,14 +46,14 @@ cd ~/.config/taffybar/taffybar && nix flake update <pkg>

# Top:
cd ~/dotfiles/nixos && nix flake update <pkg> imalison-taffybar taffybar
cd ~/dotfiles/nixos && nix flake update imalison-taffybar
```
Not every change requires touching all three layers. Think about which flake.lock files actually contain stale references:
- Changed **taffybar itself** — it's the bottom layer, so start at the middle (`nix flake update taffybar`) then the top.
- Changed **taffybar itself** — it's owned by the config flake, so start at the middle (`nix flake update taffybar`) then update `imalison-taffybar` at the top.
- Changed a **leaf ecosystem package** (e.g. gtk-strut) — start at the bottom since taffybar's flake.lock references it, then cascade up.
- The nixos flake also has **direct GitHub inputs** for ecosystem packages with `follows` overrides. Updating those at the top level may be sufficient if nothing changed in the middle/bottom flake.lock files themselves.
- The nixos flake can still have unrelated direct inputs such as `kanshi-sni`. Do not add a top-level `taffybar` input just to control the config flake's taffybar source.
