`lib` comes from the Nixpkgs used to instantiate Home Manager itself and
cannot change within the module fixpoint. However, `pkgs` is configurable
(via `nixpkgs.*` or `_module.args`) and may come from a different Nixpkgs
instance from the one providing `lib`.
Mismatches between Home Manager's release and the release of the `pkgs`
instance are more common and also more likely to cause subtle issues.
This change extends the release check to include `pkgs.lib.trivial.release`
so that such mismatches can be detected and reported.
You would encounter an eval error when a module (such as pimsync) would
try to access an attribute of `accounts.contacts.<name>.local`, since it
would default to `null`. The same problem was encountered in the
`accounts.calendar` module, and fixed in
2c157e22dc which has the same solution.
Closes#8258

home-manager's generated completions shadow built-in completion scripts.
fish actually has logic to deal with this when the path ends with
/generated_completions, so let's take advantage of it.

By default, dconf uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dconf/user as the user database, but this can be changed by specifying user-db:<name> in a profile file and setting the DCONF_PROFILE environment variable to that profile. One may want to use different user databases for different DE/WMs to avoid collision.
Currently the module invokes dconf without touching DCONF_PROFILE, which means that 1) it is unable to configure multiple different user databases, and 2) the behavior of activation script will be affected by the DCONF_PROFILE environment variable when it is invoked, possibly leading to undesired results.
This PR adds a dconf.databases option, so that settings under dconf.databases.<name> will be written to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dconf/<name>. The old dconf.settings option is left as-is to avoid breaking compatibility.
This is a fix for PR #7108 that forcibly enables xdg-desktop-autostart
units, whether or not `config.xdg.autostart` is enabled.
Partially fixes#7708, there is still a risk for conflict if
`xdg.autostart` and `services.picom` are enabled.
The fish shell comes with builtin completions. For example, git
completion supports context-aware completion of things like commit
hashes, branch names, sub-commands, etc.
Until fish 4.2, builtin completions were explicitly loaded from
`share/fish/completions`, however that is now deprecated and disabled.
In effect, this means generating manpage-based completion will shadow
and disable builtin completion.
Avoid that, by only generating completion when fish does not have
builtin support for the command.
Root cause: DeterminateSystems/update-flake-lock@v27 uses
peter-evans/create-pull-request@v6.0.5 internally, which is incompatible
with actions/checkout@v6's new credential storage mechanism.
The Problem Chain:
- actions/checkout@v6 moved credentials from .git/config to $RUNNER_TEMP
(security improvement)
- peter-evans/create-pull-request@v6.0.5 cannot access credentials from
the new $RUNNER_TEMP location
- This causes exit code 128 when update-flake-lock tries to create PRs
The Fix:
- create-pull-request@v7.0.9 fixed v6 compatibility
- However, update-flake-lock@v27 (released July 2025) hasn't upgraded yet
- Reverting to v5 restores working credential access
Next Steps:
- Can upgrade to v6 once update-flake-lock uses create-pull-request@v7.0.9+
- https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/update-flake-lock/pull/224
- Dependabot configured to ignore v6 upgrades until compatibility is fixed

When creating a new release branch, dependabot.yml needs to be updated
to include the new branch for automated dependency updates.
