26.05 is the latest stable NixOS release as of now (26.11 is still the in-development branch that nixos-unstable reports); the previous 25.05 pin was a release behind. - flake.nix / flake.lock: stable overlay tracks nixos-26.05. - neogaia system.stateVersion and the base home.stateVersion set to 26.05 (fresh install, so aligning to the current stable release). - Refresh the "latest stable release" references in the project docs to match. Other inputs are rolling branches (nixos-unstable, nixpkgs-unstable, chaotic nyxpkgs-unstable) or master (home-manager, per spec), so they carry no version to bump.

NixOS Dotfiles
A single flake that builds every machine the user owns — laptop, desktop, and three servers — from one shared, modular configuration.
Language
Host:
One physical machine the flake builds a NixOS configuration for. Each Host has a directory under hosts/ holding its machine-specific hardware-configuration.nix and its choice of enabled Modules.
Avoid: machine, node, system, box
Module:
A single .nix feature file under modules/ that declares an enable option and the configuration it turns on. Every Module is always imported but stays inert until a Host enables it.
Avoid: component, package, plugin
Skeleton: The flake's plumbing — the Auto-loader, the helper lib, the flake inputs/overlays, and the shared base config — as distinct from the Modules that sit on top of it. Avoid: framework, core, base, scaffolding
Auto-loader:
The lib code that recursively discovers and imports every Module under modules/ (and every Host under hosts/) so new files wire themselves in without manual imports edits.
Avoid: loader, importer, scanner
Enable convention:
The rule that every Module is imported unconditionally and guards its own body with mkIf config.modules.<path>.enable, so a Host reads as a checklist of enable = true flags.
Avoid: feature flag, toggle, opt-in
unstable overlay:
The overlay exposing nixpkgs-unstable packages as unstable.<name>, used to pull an individual package fresher than the nixos-unstable base.
Avoid: bleeding-edge, latest
stable overlay:
The overlay exposing the latest stable release (nixos-26.05) as stable.<name>, used to pin an individual package to the rock-solid release from the nixos-unstable base.
Avoid: LTS, release channel
