Bernardo Magri 685126ab47 feat(nightlight): menu-driven, in-flake on/off (no ~/.local/state)
Night light is off by default and configured entirely through the menu,
writing into the downstream flake instead of ~/.local/state — so the
choice is git-tracked and reproducible across a clone+rebuild.

Two flags under a new settings.* section of the state file (exposed as
the nomarchy.settings option):
- settings.nightlight.installed — sticky, gates the hyprsunset unit;
  nomarchy.nightlight.enable mkDefault-reads it. First enable from the
  menu rebuilds to create the unit (the one accepted rebuild).
- settings.nightlight.on — runtime on/off, toggled instantly
  (theme-sync set --no-switch + systemctl), no rebuild. An ExecCondition
  reads the live flag at session start so an off survives reboot;
  splitting it from the sticky flag means a later unrelated rebuild
  never undoes an instant-off (no decay).

Drops the ~/.local/state/nomarchy/nightlight-off marker and the
ConditionPathExists hack. theme-sync set now skips the wallpaper
re-apply for non-wallpaper keys, and its rebuild notifications are
generic ("changes" not "theme").

First cut of the broader principle — any user-settable config gets a
menu writer that lands it in the flake; no state outside the checkout.
Docs (README §4, ROADMAP, template) updated to reflect it.

Eval- and round-trip-verified; on-hardware check pending.

"""nomarchy-theme-sync — state writer for Nomarchy's declarative theming.
Single source of truth: $NOMARCHY_PATH/theme-state.json (inside the flake,
read purely by Home Manager via the nomarchy.stateFile option).
Theme changes are applied by Home Manager: this tool writes the new state
and runs `home-manager switch` (override with $NOMARCHY_REBUILD, or skip
with --no-switch). All app theming — Hyprland, Waybar, Ghostty, btop,
Stylix — is baked into the generation; nothing is patched at runtime.
The one runtime exception is the wallpaper: swww is imperative by nature,
so `bg next` cycles instantly and `wallpaper` (re-)applies the current one
at session start and after a switch.
Commands:
list list theme presets
apply <name|file.json> merge a preset into the state + rebuild
set <dotted.path> <value> tweak one key (e.g. `set ui.gapsOut 16`) + rebuild
get [dotted.path] print the current state (or one key)
wallpaper apply the current wallpaper via swww
bg [next|auto] cycle the theme's wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)
