> I started because I wanted Claude Code to manage my system, not just my code.
I have two reactions to this.
First: respectfully, this is hilarious. LLMs are good at many things, but judgement is not one of them. At the outset, this was firmly in the "terrible ideas" category. (EDIT: ugh; I misread you. I thought you said Claude Code wanted to manage your system. I need more coffee...)
Second: sometimes from terrible ideas come great creativity. (I'm actually not sure what epistemic basis creativity flows from, if not simply the habit of adding entropy to a search path, and you sure chose a high entropy path!) I don't know anything about the stack you chose, but I've spent many hours almost being enticed by https://guix.gnu.org/ and this sounds similar. And the part where you have recovered from a borked system about 15 times is genuine evidence that you're doing something right. I applaud your grit and hope you're having as much fun as it sounds like you are.
