 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-10-10 (cleanup)
+
+- Niri: floating windows open bottom-left by default; Picture-in-picture floats at a fixed offset.
+- Noctalia v4 `settings.json`: move workspaces and system monitor to the right, add taskbar, enable idle.
+- tmux: add per-window agent status indicator, 2s status refresh and a Prefix+Tab window switcher popup.
+- Claude settings: pin model to sonnet, add herdr SessionStart hook, humanizer and ui-ux-pro-max plugins.
+- CLAUDE.md: document claude/fish/kanshi linking, `workspaces.kdl` and the tmux helper script living outside the repo.
+
 ## 2026-10-10
 
 - Fix niri login: Mod+T bind had three actions, niri rejected the config and fell back to defaults (no bar, no kanshi).

+`tmux/tmux.conf` + catppuccin theme as a git submodule at `tmux/plugins/catppuccin/tmux`. The agent-status indicators call `~/.local/bin/tmux-window-agent-status`, which is **not** in this repo. After cloning, initialize the submodule:
 
 ```bash
 git submodule update --init
 ```
 
 ### Shell / profile
+`fish/` holds the fish config (`config.fish`, `conf.d/ssh-keychain.fish`); machine-specific vars go in untracked `~/.config/fish/local.fish`.
+
 `profile` is symlinked to `~/.profile`. It sets up SSH keys via `keychain` and defines the `notes` alias (attaches/creates a tmux session with nvim opening `~/Notes/Personal`).
 
 `zoxide.bash` provides shell integration for zoxide (directory jumping) — sourced separately, not via `profile`.
