+- **Distro branding:** replace the NixOS brand with Nomarchy everywhere it
+  surfaces — `system.nixos.distroName`/`distroId` (flows into
+  `/etc/os-release`, the live ISO's boot-menu label and the installed
+  system's systemd-boot entries), `isoImage.splashImage`/`grubTheme` for
+  the ISO boot screen, tuigreet/MOTD text. Caveats: `distroId` also
+  changes `DEFAULT_HOSTNAME` and some upstream `isNixos` checks, and
+  nixos-* CLI names stay (renaming tooling is not worth the drift)
