The distribution does not package the theme, and the predecessor cloned whatever upstream's default branch held the day a hook ran (novox/hq ADR 0205). So upstream's v1.20.0 release is vendored verbatim, with its licence, and shipped as an archive the host unpacks under the account's home and checks by digest. The prompt's configuration is today's ~/.p10k.zsh byte for byte, as a second archive. Inline, its 86 KB would ride in every declaration and be unreviewable JSON. The zsh code that loads both is a contribution to the normal slot (ADR 0204). Instant prompt stays off, as it is today.

The zsh prompt as a module (novox/hq ADR 0204, ADR 0205, to-be 41).
- Upstream: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
- Version: v1.20.0, vendored verbatim from the release archive
(
archive/refs/tags/v1.20.0.tar.gz, sha256d8187d44b697b3a37a8c4896678b4380e717cbf2850179529358348780a2d3d7) intotheme/. It is 86 files and 1,427,736 bytes. - Licence: MIT, in
theme/LICENSE, which travels in the archive. gitstatus's own licence istheme/gitstatus/LICENSE.
The distribution does not package the theme, so the module carries a pinned release (ADR 0205). An
upgrade is a change to this directory, reviewed like any other: replace theme/ with the new
release's contents, and update the version here and in the shell code's comment.
What it places
| path under the account's home | what | class (ADR 0182) |
|---|---|---|
~/.local/share/powerlevel10k/ |
the theme, unpacked from the theme archive |
owned, whole |
~/.config/powerlevel10k/p10k.zsh |
the prompt's configuration, unpacked from the configuration archive |
owned, whole |
The configuration is today's ~/.p10k.zsh, byte for byte. It is the predecessor's file, and was
identical on every machine. It ships as an archive of one file rather than as an inline file. At
86 KB, inline content would ride in every declaration the node receives, and would be unreadable
JSON in review. As its own file it is reviewed as a diff, and pinned by digest like the theme. The
directory is the module's, so p10k configure writing ~/.p10k.zsh does not touch it: to change
the prompt, change config/p10k.zsh here.
The module contributes zsh code to the normal slot of the login shell's block. That code sources
the theme, then the configuration, each only if present. Instant prompt is not turned on: the
operator's .zshrc has its cache line commented out today, and the configuration's own
POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT setting does nothing without that line.
What it does not do
- gitstatus downloads its binary on first use. The theme's git status helper fetches
gitstatusdfrom upstream's releases into~/.cache/gitstatusthe first time a prompt runs in a git repository. ADR 0205 pins what the mesh ships, not what the software fetches for itself. A machine without a route to upstream shows the prompt without git status. - Fonts are not this module's. The configuration uses Nerd Font icons. The terminal's font is the desktop's concern.
- Moving from the predecessor: once this module is assigned,
~/.zsh/themes/powerlevel10kand~/.p10k.zshare no longer read, and the operator removes them, once (ADR 0182; the zsh module's README lists the lines to delete from.zshrc).
