 - `security.polkit.settings` added for RFC42 style configuration of the polkitd daemon.
 
+- `services.plausible` can now again seed an initial admin user declaratively via [`services.plausible.adminUser.email`](#opt-services.plausible.adminUser.email).
+  This makes fully declarative deployments safer: Otherwise the user needed to either accept Plausible's unauthenticated "first launch" setup wizard, which lets anyone reaching the instance create the first admin account, or do more work (deploying with NixOS's default binding to `localhost` without exposing it publicly, going through the wizard, and then deploying Plausible exposed to the Internet).
+  This option was previously removed with NixOS 25.05 due to an upstream Plausible change making declarative admin creation more difficult, but this change re-implements the admin creation directly.

 - The `newuidmap` and `newgidmap` security wrappers are now installed with `cap_setuid`/`cap_setgid` file capabilities instead of the setuid-root bit, matching shadow's `--with-fcaps` install mode and other major distributions. Rootless containers (podman, docker-rootless, unprivileged user namespaces) are unaffected. The only behavioural change is that mapping host uid 0 via `/etc/subuid` (which NixOS never configures by default) additionally requires `cap_setfcap`; users who explicitly grant uid 0 in a subuid range can restore the previous behaviour with `security.wrappers.newuidmap.capabilities = lib.mkForce "cap_setuid,cap_setfcap+ep";`.
