+### Choosing between Noctalia and Caelestia
+
+`make hypr` installs both desktop-shell frontends. Hyprland starts the one selected in `~/.config/hypr/env.lua`:
+
+```lua
+return {
+    shell = "noctalia", -- or "caelestia"
+}
+```
+
+The local `env.lua` is created from `env.example.lua` on the first setup and is preserved on later runs. After changing the value, log out of and back into Hyprland; the running shell is not replaced live.
+
+Caelestia requires the upstream AUR package `quickshell-git`; the release package `quickshell` must not be installed instead. Do not substitute CachyOS's `noctalia-qs`, even though it provides the virtual `quickshell-git` dependency: its Quickshell parser is not compatible with Caelestia. The package list uses the explicit `aur/quickshell-git` target because `yay --aur` alone may still select a repository provider. `make hypr` then replaces an existing `noctalia-qs` installation transactionally and verifies that `/usr/bin/qs` belongs to `quickshell-git`.
