feat(macpro31): NVIDIA Quadro P400 driver and CUDA-enabled Docker

The stock GPU has been replaced with a Quadro P400 (Pascal, GP108). Add
hosts/MacPro31/nvidia.nix:

- Driver branch 580 (nvidiaPackages.legacy_580), not the nixpkgs default
  production branch (595.x). 580 is the last branch supporting
  Maxwell/Pascal/Volta and is an LTS branch until Aug 2028; a newer one
  does not drive this card.
- modesetting.enable for Wayland (nvidia-drm.modeset=1), open = false
  (the open kernel modules need Turing or later), and sway
  --unsupported-gpu, which wlroots requires with the proprietary driver.
- Docker with GPU access via CDI (hardware.nvidia-container-toolkit),
  rather than the deprecated virtualisation.docker.enableNvidia runtime
  wrapper. Containers run with --device=nvidia.com/gpu=all and must ship
  a CUDA 12.x or older runtime: CUDA 13 dropped sm_61.

The driver packages are unfree, so allowlist them in unfreePackages; they
are not cached and the kernel module builds on the host.

Also declare features.cpu.microarchLevel = 1 for this machine: the
Harpertown Xeons have SSE4.1 but no SSE4.2/POPCNT, which switches off
Claude Code through the fleet-wide gate.

+The stock card (**ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT** or **NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT**,
+depending on the unit) has been replaced with an **NVIDIA Quadro P400** (Pascal,
+GP108). Everything driver-related lives in [`nvidia.nix`](./nvidia.nix):
 
-- ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT → `radeon` (or `amdgpu`) KMS
-- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT → `nouveau` KMS
+- **Driver branch 580** (`nvidiaPackages.legacy_580`), _not_ the nixpkgs default
+  (`production`, currently 595.x). 580 is the last branch that supports
+  Maxwell/Pascal/Volta and is maintained as an LTS branch until Aug 2028; a
+  newer branch does not drive this card at all.
+- `modesetting.enable = true` — mandatory for Wayland (sets
+  `nvidia-drm.modeset=1`); without it wlroots gets no GBM device and both Sway
+  and the greeter fail to start.
+- `open = false` — the open kernel modules require Turing or later.
+- Sway runs with `--unsupported-gpu` (`programs.sway.extraOptions`); wlroots
+  refuses the proprietary driver otherwise. `cage`/ReGreet needs no such flag.
+- nouveau and `nvidiafb` are blacklisted automatically by the NVIDIA module.
 
-These come up automatically. If a card needs forcing, set
-`services.xserver.videoDrivers` and/or add the module to
-`boot.initrd.kernelModules` for early KMS (see the comment in
-`configuration.nix`).
+The driver is unfree, so it is **not in the binary cache**: the kernel module is
+compiled on the machine, which on these 2008 Xeons is slow — budget for a long
+first rebuild and again after every kernel bump. The package names are
+allowlisted in `unfreePackages` in [`flake.nix`](../../flake.nix).
+
+Note the Mac Pro shows no EFI boot screen with a stock PC card (no Apple EFI
+ROM): the machine boots blind until KMS brings the display up. That is expected,
+not a fault.
+
+Verify after a rebuild:
+
+```sh
+nvidia-smi
+```
+
+## Docker with CUDA
+
+`nvidia.nix` also enables Docker and gives containers GPU access via **CDI**
+(`hardware.nvidia-container-toolkit.enable`), which generates device specs from
+the host driver at boot (regenerated by a udev rule when the `nvidia` device
+appears) and turns on the daemon's CDI feature:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm --device=nvidia.com/gpu=all nvidia/cuda:12.9.1-base-ubuntu24.04 nvidia-smi
+```
+
+- Use the `--device=nvidia.com/gpu=all` form. `--gpus all` is the legacy
+  runtime-wrapper path (`virtualisation.docker.enableNvidia`), which is
+  deprecated upstream and deliberately not enabled here.
+- **CUDA version matters.** The P400 is compute capability 6.1 (`sm_61`); CUDA
+  13 dropped Maxwell/Pascal/Volta, so container images must ship a **CUDA 12.x
+  or older** runtime. The 580 driver itself is happy with either.
+- 2 GB of VRAM, 256 CUDA cores — fine for encode/decode and small models, not
+  for training anything serious.
+- Docker socket is local-only (no TCP listener, unlike the Pi). Users need the
+  `docker` group; the registry already grants it.
+
+## Claude Code — not installed here
+
+The dual Harpertown Xeons are **x86-64-v1** (SSE4.1, but no SSE4.2/POPCNT) and
+the Node runtime Claude Code ships on requires x86-64-v2. `configuration.nix`
+declares `features.cpu.microarchLevel = 1`, which switches the tool off through
+the fleet-wide gate in [`../../modules/features.nix`](../../modules/features.nix)
+— see the root README. Forcing `features.claudeCode.enable` on here is an
+evaluation error, not a broken install.
