The "default application suite" roadmap item, but deliberately NOT a
nomarchy.apps.* option surface: a bare package install has no config to
put behind a toggle, so a thin `mkIf x { systemPackages = [p]; }` only
reinvents what a package list already gives. Instead the suite is a
curated home.packages list in templates/downstream/home.nix (extending
the existing `# firefox` convention) — active staples (libreoffice,
vscode, gimp, inkscape, mpv, amberol) plus commented suggestions. The
opt-out is deleting a line; it also keeps the apps out of the live ISO
automatically (the ISO never scaffolds from the template).
The members that DO need system config become nomarchy.services.* opt-in
toggles instead (config behind the switch, like the existing services):
- steam → programs.steam (32-bit stack, controller udev, RP ports)
- libvirt → libvirtd + virt-manager, login user added to libvirtd group
- obs → obs-studio + a v4l2loopback virtual camera (exclusive_caps=1)
selectable as a webcam in Zoom/Teams
README option table, ROADMAP (services item now "Eight shipped"; suite
item marked done with the no-surface rationale) and the downstream
system.nix examples updated to match.

Extend nomarchy.services.* with three more opt-in toggles:
- podman: rootless containers, `docker` aliased to it, container DNS, and a
subuid/subgid range for the login user.
- flatpak: services.flatpak + a oneshot that adds the Flathub remote
system-wide (idempotent, retries when online).
- pika: ships pika-backup, the GUI for scheduled Borg backups.
Commented examples in the downstream system.nix template, per convention.

Start the opt-in services surface: nomarchy.services.{tailscale,syncthing},
off by default, in modules/nixos/services.nix. Tailscale ships the daemon
(authenticate with `sudo tailscale up`); Syncthing runs as the login user
with its GUI on 127.0.0.1:8384 (overrideDevices/Folders off so GUI-managed
folders survive rebuilds). username is read lazily, only when Syncthing is
on. Commented examples in the downstream system.nix template per the opt-in
convention.

Convention: an off-by-default feature that needs nomarchy.* settings in the
downstream files should appear commented-out in templates/downstream/{home,
system}.nix, so a new install enables it by uncommenting + tweaking rather
than hunting the docs for the option name. Apply it now: night light,
nomarchy.monitors, per-device keyboard layouts (home.nix) and power
management (system.nix). Also fix the stale keyboard.layout note
(console/LUKS follow xkb automatically now). Documented in README S6.

Downstream users now own only system.nix and home.nix; their flake.nix is
generated once from the template and never hand-edited. mkFlake (lib.nix)
wires both layers and maps hardwareProfile = "<name>" to nixos-hardware
modules (new input, pinned here, nixpkgs follows ours; unknown names fail
with did-you-mean suggestions). Flake checks evaluate the template through
mkFlake — including a real profile — so drift fails `nix flake check`.
Also from the live-VM testing session: install the home-manager CLI in the
live ISO and pin flake inputs transitively (offline theme switching needs
stylix's own inputs too), plus swww→awww doc updates.

Full replacement of the previous iteration, rebuilt around three ideas:
- Pure evaluation: theme-state.json lives inside the flake and is read
via the nomarchy.stateFile option — no --impure, ever.
- All-Home-Manager theming: `nomarchy-theme-sync apply` writes the JSON
and runs `home-manager switch`; every theme change is one atomic,
rollbackable generation. Wallpaper (swww) is the sole runtime piece.
- Flat, downstream-first layout: modules/{nixos,home} with one
options.nix each, exported as nixosModules/homeModules + overlay +
flake template; system (nixos-rebuild) and desktop (home-manager
switch) rebuild paths are fully split.
Ships 21 themes imported from the previous iteration (palettes,
wallpapers, btop themes, six whole-swap Waybar identities), Stylix for
the GTK/Qt/cursor long tail, a live ISO target with offline theme
switching, and docs/TESTING.md with the QEMU verification workflow.
