fix: disk picker fd0 (#112), menu Back guard (#106), offline theme (#113)
Some checks failed
Check / eval (push) Has been cancelled

- #112: list_installable_disks drops fd/loop/sr/zram/<8GiB, largest-first
  so OVMF no longer offers /dev/fd0 as the default wipe target
- #106: tools/check-menu-back.py + checks.menu-back (proved to fail)
- #113: offline theme-switch contract documented (default/pinned only);
  theme-sync run_switch adds offline-oriented hint when no network

Verified: V0 flake check; installer-safety; menu-back; py_compile.

### 113. Live session: offline theme switch rebuilds the world from source
Surfaced by #99's evidence run (2026-07-13, `/tmp/nomarchy-v2-theme-99/`):
in the **live ISO** session, offline `nomarchy-theme-sync apply gruvbox`
fails — its `home-manager switch` tries to build **1176 derivations** from
the `stage0`/`hex0` bootstrap up, then dies on offline source fetches
(`vala`, `yasm`, `config.jsonc`, `ghostty-config`, `easyeffects.svg`,
`typogrify`…), ending `error: Build failed due to failed dependency`. This
contradicts docs/TESTING.md item 6 ("apply gruvbox → switch runs offline").
The failing generation is `bvl30ggn…-home-manager-generation.drv`; it is
**not** the drv the ISO pins (the pin is the *default*-theme
`homeConfigurations.${username}.activationPackage`, i.e. Boreal — confirmed
drv-identical to the failing one only for gruvbox state, so a non-default
theme's generation is unpinned). NOT caused by #99's git-seed: the drv is
byte-identical path-seeded vs git-seeded. **Decide the contract:** either
pin every baked theme's live activationPackage into the ISO (size cost) or
scope the offline-switch promise to the shipped theme + correct
TESTING.md/MEMORY. Pass = a fresh live ISO either switches to any baked
theme offline, or fails with a clear "needs network for this theme" message
and accurate docs. **Not caused by anything in today's batch** — separate
pre-existing ISO-pinning gap.

### 112. Installer disk-picker safety
Exclude floppy, pseudo, tiny, and otherwise non-installable devices such as
`/dev/fd0`; never select them by default. **Reproduced in QEMU 2026-07-13**
(#93's V2 run): with OVMF the guest exposes `/dev/fd0` and the picker listed
it FIRST — a blind Enter selected it (artifacts:

invalid devices cannot reach destructive setup, a permanent guard covers the
filter/default logic, and a pre-destructive KVM run proves the picker behavior.
