Bernardo Magri f3325385c1 feat(timezone): opt-in automatic, location-following timezone
nomarchy.system.autoTimezone (off by default): geoclue + automatic-
timezoned drive /etc/localtime from your location, so travelling to
another zone updates the Waybar clock on its own.

Menu-driven, in-flake state (the night-light / keyboard philosophy):
the flag is settings.autoTimezone in theme-state.json (git-tracked); a
System-menu entry toggles it. Because it's a SYSTEM service — not a user
unit it can start/stop instantly like night-light — the toggle
(nomarchy-autotimezone, run in a terminal) writes the flag --no-switch
then drives `sudo nixos-rebuild` (bakes the service + the time.timeZone
override) plus `home-manager switch` (the Waybar-refresh watcher); both
sides read the one flag.

- modules/nixos/timezone.nix: parses settings.autoTimezone from
  nomarchy.system.stateFile (like Plymouth), gates geoclue2 +
  automatic-timezoned, and mkForce-nulls time.timeZone — automatic-
  timezoned sets it null at normal priority, which collides with the
  installer's static value (a hard eval error), so force wins and
  reverts cleanly when disabled. Ships the nomarchy-autotimezone toggle.
- modules/home/timezone.nix: a tiny user service watching timedate1's
  change signal that reloads Waybar (SIGUSR2) on a real zone change, so
  the clock follows live (Waybar captures the zone at construction).
  Gated on the same flag via nomarchy.settings.autoTimezone.
- rofi menu: "Auto timezone (on/off)" in the System submenu.
- option + template example + ROADMAP entry; theme.nix seeds the flag.

Eval-verified on (geoclue+daemon on, tz forced null over a static
installer value, watcher present) and off (static tz intact, nothing
extra); home + system both build green. Needs an on-hardware check
(geoclue detection + the SIGUSR2 clock refresh aren't CI-testable).

# Auto-timezone, home side: keep the Waybar clock in step with the system
# timezone. Waybar's clock module captures the zone once at construction, so a
# runtime timezone change (automatic-timezoned, nomarchy.system.autoTimezone)
# would NOT show until a relogin. A tiny watcher subscribes to timedate1's
# change signal and reloads Waybar (SIGUSR2 = the same reload theme-sync uses),
# so the clock follows your location live. Also catches a manual
# `timedatectl set-timezone`.
#
# Gated on the same in-flake flag the system side reads (settings.autoTimezone,
# exposed via nomarchy.settings) — so it only runs when the feature is on. The
# menu toggle (nomarchy-autotimezone) rebuilds both sides off that one flag.
