feat(install): copy templates/downstream and patch install values
Make the downstream template the single source of truth for machine
flakes: nomarchy-install copies flake/system/home/theme-state and
patch-template.py only fills hostname, user, keyboard, detected
hardware, snapper, resume, and password. Install and flake-init users
now share the same commented opt-ins and starter home.packages.

Also: BACKLOG boreal-as-default proposal; installer audit notes;
HARDWARE.md from prior work if uncommitted.

# My Nomarchy machine
This directory is the **single source of truth** for a Nomarchy machine
flake. `nix flake init -t …` copies it as-is; **`nomarchy-install` copies
the same files and only patches** install-time values (username, hostname,
keyboard, detected hardware, password hash, …). Keep commented opt-ins and
`home.packages` here — do not invent a second catalog in the installer.
1. Overwrite the placeholder hardware config with the real one:
`nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix`
2. Set `flake.nix` up **once** (Nomarchy repo URL, your username, optionally
a `hardwareProfile` from <https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware> — an
unknown name fails the rebuild with suggestions). After that the flake is
never touched again: your machine lives in `system.nix` (hostname,
services — the login user is created from `username` automatically) and
`home.nix` (your packages).
3. `git init && git add -A` — flakes only see tracked files, including
`theme-state.json`.
4. System: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default`
5. Desktop: `nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me`
(afterwards just `home-manager switch --flake .#me` — it's installed)
6. Clone/symlink this directory to `~/.nomarchy` (or export
`NOMARCHY_PATH`) so `nomarchy-theme-sync` knows where the state lives.
Day-to-day:
```sh
nomarchy-theme-sync list # 21 shipped presets
nomarchy-theme-sync apply gruvbox # writes state + home-manager switch
nomarchy-theme-sync bg next # cycle wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)
```
The system layer only needs `nixos-rebuild` when you change `system.nix`.
